But would could not afford $8 billion in *annual* foreign aid that assisted the poor and helped advance US soft power?
Burned through almost that much in just a few days, killing hundreds.... for what, exactly?

🌱 It’s way too early to plant normal stuff, but I got my seedlings started in the greenhouse and my brassicas in the ground because they can take it 🙌
Are we allowed to get the rest of the Epstein files now?
Oh man. There are some lines that will forever be stuck in my brain. Such a great movie
“Noem? Never knew ‘em.”
Shouldn’t it be called the Bent of Hormuz
I'm sorry, if you're going to make a big show about how you've got a Department of WAR helmed by a Secretary of WAR and staffed by WARfighters, it's totally inane to then claim that your massive bombing of a foreign country constitutes something other than a war.
Minnesota would like a word.
I cannot stand listening to these people talk about honor.
War is indeed hell. We should never ask our service members to sacrifice nor bring the evils of war to another country unless all other options have failed and it is absolutely necessary.
As a Christian, my perspective is that utterly no one is worthy of this kind of dehumanization. Muslims are human beings, not cattle. You don’t “round them up.”
Trump has gained a following among Christians because he hates those we’ve been taught to fear. But this is not the way of Jesus.
Today should be your 38th birthday.. When you lose your son you lose more than a child you lose a piece of your heart and your joy. Life is forever altered, and nothing can ever fill that space. Yet in my soul, he remains, my precious boy, forever loved. His laughter, his smile, and his love are woven into who I am. My love for him will never fade. Yor are my pride and my joy - you've made a change that cannot be broken..
Alex's mom on his 38th birthday.
A PSA from Thomas Massie:
Every single jot and tittle Trump and his cronies accused others of doing were either confessions or warnings of what they planned to do themselves.
Lord, cast down the mighty, the unjust, and the wicked.

Men will literally bomb other countries rather than let the Epstein files come to light
I am hopeful that the war in Iran will bring needed democratic change to … the United States of America.
Exclusive: Pro-Trump activists are circulating a draft executive order alleging Chinese interference in the 2020 election, proposing a national emergency to expand presidential power over voting, like banning mail ballots and voting machines.
It’s almost like they’re actively trying to prove @ryanburge.bsky.social right in his argument in Vanishing Church about polarization and political alignment
This has nothing to do with fraud.
The agents Trump allegedly sent to investigate fraud are shooting protesters and arresting children. His DOJ is gutting the U.S. Attorney’s Office and crippling their ability to prosecute fraud. And every week Trump pardons another fraudster.
Chapter 1 of Moby Dick, page 1 The phrase ‘Call me Ishmael’, the first sentence of the book, is highlighted in blue, with careful highlighting on the very big C at the start. Above this, written in ballpoint pen ‘His name’
Love the glimpse into the beautiful mind that notated this used copy of Moby Dick I got
oops. White nationalism is a helluva drug.
I would be confused too if I had spent years criticizing Trump as a pedophile and all around terrible person only to find myself sycophantically carrying water for him

Masterful Troll, TCM.
Well, I don’t know that defense contracts counts as “paying people to do a good job.” A family member worked for a government contractor once and the vibe was very much “Try to blow as much money as you can so that we can renew the contract next year.” 🫠
If anyone needed more reasons to delete Twitter forever and encourage other reasonable people to do the same...
