Gleefully looking forward to all the small nations the Emperor can conquer and name after himself.

A dumb war makes Trumpworld dumber Tracking the inane MAGA responses to the White House's war frivolity.

Trump views himself as an emperor who can do whatever he pleases and need not worry about consequences.

This is the guy who likes to downplay non-fatal injuries suffered by US service members in combat.

I'm STILL livid about this.
Anyone with a heart should be.

That's a fucking war crime.

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics. It’s the root of all evil in Washington.

As someone who once co-authored two books in support of nuclear energy: this is likely the kiss of death to nuclear power.

It is a risky long term investment that is uniquely dependent on social acceptance. An incompetent, very unpopular government slashing safety rules leads to a reaction.

Trump β€˜will not sign other bills’ until Republicans pass SAVE America Act The statement is a blunt ultimatum to Congress β€” pass the anti-voting bill or risk seeing other legislation stalled.

In an escalation of his push for the voter suppression bill, Trump issued a blunt ultimatum to Congress declaring he would not sign any other legislation until it passes the SAVE America Act:

β€œIt must be done immediately. It supersedes everything else. MUST GO TO THE FRONT OF THE LINE.”

This from @marinetraffic on X is interesting. Basically, there's good evidence that someone is doing the opposite of a ghost fleet: spoofing fake ship signals to make it *look like* there's Strait of Hormuz crossings happening when there aren't.
