It’s almost like Putin and Netanyahu control our foreign policy.

While U.S. service members die in another forever war in the Middle East, Donald Trump’s β€œpeace envoy” is raising money for his private equity firm.

And we wonder why he and Witkoff failed at negotiating with Iran. They were too busy doing personal business.

This makes me sick! Since opening in 1971, the Kennedy Center has stood as a living memorial to a beloved president who was a martyr for this country. Trump shamelessly added his name, and is turning it into one of his vanity projects. Congress won't stop him, maybe the courts will.

It makes me sick what he has done to this building. It has stood as a living memory to a beloved president who was a martyr for this country. He shamelessly added his name to it, and is now turning it into one of his vanity projects. Congress won't stop it, maybe the courts will.

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."

Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning:

Denial of quarterβ€”even the declaration of no quarterβ€”is a war crime.

And recognized as such by the US Government.

From DoD's Manual for Military Commissions.

Unfortunately, bad judgment is not a crime. Congress needs to haul his ass in front of them to answer for this.

Not only the loss of millions of dollars, but the loss of many people who would probably have contributed to our scientific, medical, and tech advancements. Instead, they are studying in other countries who will reap those benefits.

it took just over a year to get from "I'll lower costs on day one" to "I'm raising prices and it's good, actually"

This Republican Congress had its chance to limit Trump’s reckless war. Instead, they chose to let him continue his bellicose and deranged assault that increasingly endangers the whole world. History will show their sycophantic failures are central to this broken era.

Why do we still have these 2 bozos negotiating with these foreign regimes? They obviously have no clue what they're doing.

Legacy media is failing democracy. Rather than just complain, I did something about. Six years ago I started Democracy Docket from scratch. Now it has more than 400,000 subscribers. But to help protect democracy, it needs to grow and scale. Subscribing now. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

Because no other president would break the law and violate his oath of office on a daily basis.
