I used to work for the government. In order to justify budgets, bad actors overspend at the end of the fiscal year. So the administration spent $93B on bullshit to justify massive Pentagon budget proposals, all while gutting health care and food assistance. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...
Can we add built in time limits?
JUST IN: Democrats flip a seat in the New Hampshire state House.
Dem Bobbi Boudman has won today’s special election, NHJournal reports.
(Boudman was the Dem nominee in 2024 & lost by 14%; Trump won here by 9%.)
This is Dems’ third legislative flip so far this year, after Texas and Arkansas.
IMHO, I think the use of outdated maps or AI might have played a role. But I am NOT an expert. Nor do I have the knowledge that Schatz would have.
Just a reminder that Muslims have been on this continent since the first arrival of non-Indigenous people. They were among the first generation of Americans, and have been here ever since.
Epstein Latest: A newly surfaced document reveals an inmate told the FBI he overheard guards talking about covering up Epstein's death the morning he died.
Miami Herald Investigative Reporter, Julie K. Brown, describes what the inmate claims he heard.
Authoritarians will stop at nothing to feel safe. Since they have no concept of public welfare and consider everyone an asset to be used and discarded, they will easily enter into a military conflict without a long-term strategy, regardless of the casualties it causes.
KC Airport evacuated potential threat. FBI on scene.
You will not convince me that this is not a plan to terrorize Americans.
The regime wants terrorism on US soil to cancel the election.
The Jan. 6 plaque honoring police was just installed in the Capitol — at 4 a.m.:
Three years since Congress ignored its own deadline, the memorial plaque recognizing the service of law enforcement on Jan. 6 is finally on display in the very building they defended from a mob of Trump supporters.
Well would you look at that
Dear @oversightdemocrats.bsky.social ::
Now that you’ve subpoenaed Bondi, keep in mind that it’s kind of pointless to ask her questions. Make your point, force republicans to use their time to let her respond with her nonsense, and interrupt her liberally.
“Stop honoring our dead. You’re making us look bad” is the new “suckers and losers.”
The first confirmed fatalities in Trump's illegal War on Iran:
Captain Cody A. Khork, 35, of Winter Haven, FA
Sergeant First Class Noah L. Tietjens, 42, of Bellevue, NE
Sergeant First Class Nicole M. Amor, 39, of White Bear Lake, MN
Sergeant Declan J. Coady, 20, of West Des Moines, IA
kind of crazy that if you have enough money and don't like what you see in the media, you can just buy up every film studio, news station, and social media app and change it
SUPER SHOCKED: Israel and the Saudis lobbied Trump to start the war. As @maddow.bsky.social asked: who benefits? www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Here’s a radical idea for Congress: abolish ICE, dismantle DHS, then take that ICE/CBP BBB slush fund and rebuild our national security apparatus, joint terrorism task force, and alphabet agencies as independent entities. We’re going to need them again. Trump won’t sign it, but let’s write it.
They went to war with Iran (which nobody in America was asking for) so they could conjure an excuse to allow ICE to keep murdering Americans and teargassing schools here at home with impunity (which nobody in America was asking for).
Let’s all call Massie today and get him to switch parties. Then force Gonzalez to resign. Then get the gavel, issue some subpoenas, and impeach some motherfuckers
Tulsi Gabbard released a fundraising video in 2019 titled "Trump's Path To War With Iran"
"We've gotta stop Donald Trump from starting a war with Iran."
The thing about the U.S. and Israel is that both of their leaders are trying to stay out of prison.
Also unsure how the people of Iran are e supposed to coordinate a new government without the internet.
CBS News(max)
CNN's @natashabertrand.bsky.social reporting rumored rationale that Iran was about to strike us first, preemptively, is not accurate to US sources she's spoken with.
VERY important because that would be a reason to not go to Congress first - imminent threat to US forces.
Why has Trump been pushed in this direction? Follow the money. UAE, Qatar, the Saudis and Israel paid him to.
Still true
Another forever war because people can’t bring themselves to vote for women…
In the past, sometimes presidents have said it’s just a military operation or limited airstrikes to skirt Congress. Trump has unilaterally launched major combat operations, declaring war with the goal of regime change. A major violation of the U.S. Constitution, also illegal under international law
