The SAVE Act is DOA. Their redistricting plans blew up in their face. And now they're stuck in an ever-widening war. They know Dems will retake the House come the midterms. And maybe even the Senate. They're desperate. But all they can do is post empty threats on social media. Pathetic and weak.
I’m low key astonished by the number of finance experts that didn’t anticipate problems with the Strait of Hormuz. Did they really trust Trump and Hegseth knew what they were doing? Did they take for granted all the usual experts that Trump fired? Didn’t most of us see this coming?
Trump didn’t write that post. One of his handlers did. Probably Rubio’s assignment today
Well done 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Wall art at Union Market in DC reads, “OPERATION EPSTEIN FURY.”
Look closer. Fallen soldiers’ names: Nicole Amor, Declan Coady, Noah Tietjens. Each marked, “DID NOT HAVE TO DIE.”
And at the bottom, the gut punch: “FIGHTING IRAN FOR THE EPSTEIN CLASS.”
For clarity on the current situation…
“So damaged is the department’s reputation for truth-telling at this point, one judge noted despairingly, that ‘the court is left with little confidence’ that government lawyers ‘can be trusted to tell the truth about anything.’ ”

They cut research into cancer and Alzheimer’s and diabetes by up to half to fund bombs to drop on elementary schools.
Mentally competent patients typically have the right to choose their medical care — or refuse it. But there is one notable exception: pregnant patients. That inconsistency is particularly striking in Florida. Read this story by @amyyurkanin.bsky.social 👇
I have nothing to add here. Yes, it’s that bad.
Reputation damage sounds like what happens when someone does and says things people are unhappy with. Can’t believe a judge at this point in the administration even bought this argument.
Carrying water for Trumps people so they can do bad things without consequences.
If your own words cause you “reputational damage,” I think the correct legal implication is “aww, too bad.”
WATCH: “The answer has to be a more progressive tax system. Give people the necessities of life for free — childcare, healthcare… the rich keep getting richer…”

“The clear winner of this war is Putin”
Must be a coincidence 🙃
I read the “Save America Act,” so you don’t have to. Most of the media apparently *hasn’t* read it because, if they had, they would be sounding the alarm about the provision in Point 1, below, which almost none of them have even mentioned. I hope this summary helps raise awareness. 1/
Just watched Nuremberg on Netflix, and it felt soooo fucking relevant to today. History unfortunately repeats itself and I will watch that shit live the next time around.
it would be nice if any of these fucking ghouls would apologize for being wrong and then shut up for ever.
More small dick energy. Whomp, whomp, whomp
Ossoff: "The WH put out a video depicting this war as a video game. When service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, & even more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this WH treats war like a game. It's a disgrace. And it speaks to a moral rot."
But bombing an all-girls elementary school, TWICE, just happens sometimes and we really shouldn’t worry about it. Cool, cool
Didn’t he say the same thing when he threw 69 missiles at the airfield his first admin that was back up and running a day later? Or just this past fall when he annihilated Iran’s nuclear program that was suddenly days away from a nuke just 2 weeks ago?
When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.
(1) The accused declared, ordered, or otherwise indicated that there shall be no survivors or surrender accepted; (2) The accused thereby intended to threaten an adversary or to conduct hostilities such that there would be no survivors or surrender accepted; (3) It was foreseeable that circumstances would be such that a practicable and reasonable ability to accept surrender would exist; (4) The accused was in a position of effective command or control over the subordinate forces to which the declaration or order was directed; and (5) The conduct took place in the context of and was associated with hostilities.

Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning:
Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime.
And recognized as such by the US Government.
From DoD's Manual for Military Commissions.
I love how this administration keeps admitting their intention to commit war crimes and crimes against humanity is such direct and simple language. It will make prosecuting them so much easier.
Donate! Journalism like ProPublica and NPR are essential and are not owned by corporations or millionaires. Consider the Philadelphia Inquirer (also a nonprofit) as well. Amazing journalism and no overlord interests silencing their voices.
In short, Trump fucked up and has to fine anyway to keep oil prices down even if that means enabling Russia to target and kill more US soldiers. As he said, what does Trump care for those “losers” anyway?
HOLY SHIT.
A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election.
Thank you to the people who declined the money and went forward with this. So who's behind this?
Welp that’s a brief 2 minute window. Wonder if her will even notice since he can’t even see it.
