He’s not wrong.
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.”
Don't. Print. Lies. In. The. Newspapers.
Jared Kushner holds no government position at all. He is not a Senate-confirmed political appointee & his "special peace envoy" job is completely fake. This is wildly illegal & unconstitutional nepotistic corruption. Stop normalizing it in the papers.
Who is he?
Maybe we shouldn't pay taxes to fund this illegal war, DT's theft of public funds, Noem's private jet and Kash's trip to the Olympics? #NoKings
Bravo - Palantir is a stain on society + their CEO (Karp) is openly calling for the degradation of women, a democratic society and putting the US kakistocracy in charge- a government run by the most unprincipled, unqualified, or incompetent citizens.
This is an anti-female, anti-Democratic agenda. And needs to be abolished in every form possible. It is disgusting. And wrong. And again, enables the .1% of techbro billionaires to ruin lives. I'm done with this.
DOGE canceled research grants because they mentioned LGBTQ.
The person making the call had no experience reviewing grants and admitted no research informed the decision.
And this is the incompetence making federal funding decisions.

I know I’m a goddamn broken record, I really do, but Congress had a way to change that, it worked for decades, and the Supreme Court blew it up in the 1980s in a way that was impossible for Congress to fix. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Not the main point of this piece, but: detaining a mom and 5 kids must cost U.S. taxpayers at least $400/day. (It was $319/family 5 years ago.)
At that rate, locking up this family for 9 months would run at least $108,000.

This administration is committing Watergate level crimes multiple times per week—and those are the ones we know about. It’s crazy to think about what else will come out after.
It’s absolutely essential these criminals are held responsible for their crimes. We must end elite impunity.
inspector general has launched an investigation into allegations that a former DOGE software engineer may have walked out the door with access to two highly sensitive SSA databases and intended to bring that information to a private sector employer.
Looks like Trump pocketed the $63 million in settlement money that was intended for his presidential library.

Chris Murphy: "I Just came from a two hour, closed door classified briefing on the war. It just confirmed to me it's totally incoherent. We are not gonna be able to achieve any of our stated objectives ... this is a disaster of epic proportions, a 10 day debacle"
BREAKING: As many as 150 U.S. troops have been wounded in the war with Iran, according to sources familiar—far higher than the Pentagon’s publicly disclosed figure of just 8 seriously wounded troops. The true toll of this war is already far worse than the public has been told. (Reuters)
Rand Paul: "As far as reasons for the war, there have been many different ones floated, but none have been very convincing... we were told their nuclear weapons were obliterated, and now we're told their nuclear weapons are just moments away from being a bomb. I don't think the arguments are valid."
Lewis Bollard @Lewis_Bollard Hidden on page 744 of the farm bill the House Agriculture Committee passed Thursday is a provision that would condemn millions of pigs to a lifetime in gestation crates. Rebranded the 'Save Our Bacon Act,' it's a pork-industry play to wipe out every state law banning the sale of pork from crated pigs — laws the conservative Supreme Court upheld in 2023. Over 85% of Democrats and Republicans oppose these crates. Voters have backed ballot measures to ban them in state after state. The pork industry knows it can't win a straight vote on this. So it's burying the provision in an 800-page bill and hoping no one notices. Contact your senators and representative today and tell them: oppose the farm bill unless the Save Our Bacon Act is stripped out. You can reach them at http://senate.gov and http://house.gov — it takes two minutes and it matters.
This is hideous and horrible, and the people pushing for it deserve to spend the rest of their lives in a cage.
SEVEN. That’s how many strikes hit near the Iranian girls’ school.
Video shows a tomahawk missile hitting a building next to the school. The kind of “precision” you get when an incompetent administration runs a war on outdated intelligence.
Don’t look away —we should all see the deadly destruction
The economy wasn’t doing great before Iran and it sure isn’t doing well now. Fool’s Golden Age.

The Trump administration is treating disabled veterans like criminals.
Iraq cost us $6 trillion. Even a short Iran war could add $1 trillion to a budget deficit that Trump may already be tripling. trib.al/txXV9QN

Trump did not announce a U.S. policy then walk it back. That is not what happened, and media presenting it that way does a disservice.
Trump said words he thought might appeal to his audience in the moment, with no connection to actual policy, then did that again with a different question/asker.
