One excellent way to place Americans at greater risk of retaliation is to convince Iranians that America isn’t just attacking their countryβ€”we’re attacking their faith.

Pete Hegseth is smart that way.

Uneducated voters will ALWAYS pose a FAR greater threat to this nation than an (un)documented immigrant EVER will. That's the goal: under-educate entire generations and you can control them #education #enoughalready

From today’s NYT newsletter. The rich have always had the advantage, but now the ultra-rich are succeeding in making that advantage even greater, making America an oligarchy, not a democracy. This must stop.

Trump is upbeat while the stock market is trading, but suddenly pessimistic when it closes.

This is brazen market manipulation.

Tweet by Senator Patty Murray criticizing Trump’s Iran war, saying the narrative has shifted from β€œthis isn’t a war” to fighting until unconditional surrender while Americans die and prices rise, arguing Congress must stop it.

Vote in the midterms like your children’s and grandchildren’s lives depend on it. Because they do.

I KNOW the written lyrics don’t agree, but having listened carefully, multiple times, with good headphones, I am convinced they actually sing:

πŸŽΆβ€œShe can dance a Cajun rhythm,
Just like a Willys in 4-wheel drive.β€πŸŽΆ

And I like that better than the written lyrics.

PS: My favorite Dead song.

Switzerland is the shocker. With Turkey a close second, unless you know much about Ataturk.

Screenshot of a post by Acyn quoting Pete Buttigieg criticizing Trump, saying money from the Middle East is going into the Trump family’s crypto fund while Americans are being sent to the Middle East for Trump’s war. A video frame shows Buttigieg speaking.

Pete Buttigieg nails it.

Probably should've laid off those edibles before I did my own taxes.

A side note however...I'm getting back twelve and a half million dollars.

Monet’s stepdaughter Blanche was the only one he let paint beside him.
Her brush carried his colors into another generation.

Post from the Maine Wonk asking whether JD Vance or Donald Trump thanked Ukraine after a tweet noting the U.S. is deploying Ukrainian drone interceptors to fight Iranian drones in the Middle East despite previously cutting off Ukraine’s weapons.

Democrats must drive this home. War is a waste of precious national resources. Expose these members of Congress and the rest of the government that profit from war. We must pass laws to mandate verifiable blind trusts for their stock portfolios at the very least or else have a corrupt government.
