The thing that I don't think they've fully grasped is because we've had two nearly three generations of adults who have been vaccinated, people are going to realize pretty quickly shit is bad when suddenly their kids are dying.

"You just wanted to steal, so you stole. You wanted to take things without permission, so you did. It’s wrong. It’s so enragingly wrong."

This is so, so good. Like a cleansing fire.

I hate flying

I hate it so much

I hate these companies

I hate that you straight-up, no exaggeration, have to be a MILLIONAIRE in order for basic physical comfort on a plane to be afforded to you

this makes me want to fucking SCREAM. they USED to have an extremely nice Customer of Size seating policy with a voucher for a free middle seat that was always offered to me in a kind, non-shamey way. but the worst fatphobia I've EVER experienced while flying was Southwest last summer, and now THIS?

Netanyahu has tried for years to get a US president to go along with his desire for a war with Iran. He finally found one. Then he used chemical weapons on Lebanon. This man is committing war crimes and igniting hatred that will start more killings and destruction everywhere.

worth remembering, David Lynch directed β€œfix your hearts or die” specifically at transphobes. it wasn’t a generic β€œno mean people allowed” statement, it was said by his Twin Peaks character in defense of a trans woman he cared for and deeply respected.

Bondi Is Said to Move to Military Housing Because of Threats

They're all living in bunkers now.

This Trump Administration won't leave legally or peacefully because they know they've committed crimes and will be - hopefully - held accountable.

This is very, very good news out of New Hampshire tonight, and I hope it is a step toward better for a Granite State that is led with compassion, by people who believe in funding education, trusting teachers, and letting kids be their full selves.

5/ And on the Strait of Hormuz, they had NO PLAN. I can't go into more detail about how Iran gums up the Strait, but suffice it say, right now, they don't know how to get it safely back open.

Which is unforgiveable, because this part of the disaster was 100% foreseeable.

4/ Ok, so what ARE the goals? It seems, primarily, destroying lots of missiles and boats and drone factories.

But the question that stumped them: what happens when you stop bombing and they restart production?

They hinted at more bombing. Which is, of course, endless war.

3/ Second, they confirmed "regime change" is also NOT on the list. So, they are going to spend hundreds of billions of your taxpayer dollars, get a whole bunch of Americans killed, and a hardline regime - probably a MORE anti-American hardline regime - will still be in charge.

2/ Maybe the lead is that the war goals DO NOT involve destroying Iran's nuclear weapons program. This is, uh...surprising...since Trump says over and over this is a key goal.

But then of course we already know air strikes can't wipe out their nuclear material.

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.

I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.

1/ Here's what I can share:

Democrat Bobbi Boudman wins a special election in a Trump+9 district, after losing the same seat by 14 points in 2024. A 13-point Democratic overperformance.

The US has, in slightly over a year, torched what was once one of the best repositories of legal talent (the DOJ) in favor of...uh...total hacks now struggling under an impossible workload made all the more impossible by an administration that is acting without even the faintest color of law.

No no no! The president is simply entirely convinced that, if he eliminates the existing leadership of a country, the people left over will come to him, tears in their eyes, begging like a dog, and say "Sir, please, who should rule our country?" He thinks he's cut the gordian knot of geopolitics.

One of the things that really trips a lot of analysts, including ones with real skin in the game, is that they refuse - absolutely refuse - to accept how stupid Trump very obviously is. He has no knowledge of anything, is incapable of learning, and only remembers the last thing to happen to him.

Americans are overwhelmingly opposed to it. Working families don’t want their hard-earned taxpayer dollars spent lighting the Middle East on fire.

If your member of Congress isn’t doing everything possible to force Trump to end this war now ... then it’s time to elect a new one. (3/3)
