18-yo Michael Brown "was no angel" when he was shot by cops.

These teenagers who tried to kill Mamdani, OTOH?

Good point that Trump may have been envious of Noem's grifting.

Obama showed emotion in calling a racist cop dumb, and in saying Trayvon could have been his son.
He was forced to a beer summit with that racist SOB and White people elected Donald Trump.

Can't win either way.

Meanwhile, to paraphrase Whiskey Pete: "Israel is doing what it wants, but WE ARE TOTALLY LEADING"

As gas prices increase everywhere, Israel bombs Iranian oil storage facilities, leading to apocalyptic scenes and severe air pollution across Tehran.

Trump is apparently upset at the wastage of oil.

Pandemic parallels: "When restrictions on activity were lifted and restaurants, bars and hotels reopened, they struggled to staff up โ€” even as they ratcheted up pay...

It wasnโ€™t until Biden admin lifted immigration restrictions and more workers flowed into the country that the labor need was met."

.@aclu.org has reached 90 of the ~137 Venezuelans sent to CECOT under the Alien Enemies Act, then prisoner-swapped to VZ. 90 of 91 want to challenge their Tren de Aragua designation: 22 by coming back to USA (tho theyโ€™ll be detained) & 68 in written petitions.

Trumpโ€™s Immigration Crackdown Hasnโ€™t Boosted Employment For US-Born Workers One year into President Donald Trumpโ€™s immigration crackdown, thereโ€™s little evidence that closed borders are boosting employment for US-born workers.

โ€œSo if weโ€™ve had a big withdrawal of immigrants from the labor force, we donโ€™t see any sign of the US-born workers getting more employment because of that.โ€

People losing weight when they did not need to, because Whiskey Pete was blowing millions on steak and lobster.

Millions spent on lobster, ribeye steak, crab. $225 million on furniture. As Americans lost access to SNAP benefits and had to go hungry.

Iris Dena: Torpedoed Iranian warship was offered sanctuary in India India says Tehran sought permission to dock three ships on the day the US and Israel began a war on Iran.

One of the three Iranian ships is docked at an Indian port.

By espousing two contradictory viewpoints, Donald Trump is Presidenting the right way. - EK, probably.

On the first day of this war, the US bombed a school with almost the same exact death toll as when Timothy McVeigh bombed the daycare center of the Alfred P. Murrah Building in Oklahoma City. And our leaders wonder why Iran doesn't surrender immediately.

Early Iran strikes cost $5.6 billion in munitions, Pentagon estimates The figure, accounting for the warโ€™s first two days, is likely to intensify concerns in Congress that U.S. forces are churning through a scarce supply of advanced weaponry.

Might be some good reasons for the U.S. Constitution to require congressional authorization prior to the expenditure of blood and treasure in warโ€”rather than leaving it to the whims of one man.

โ€œIran has some Tomahawks.โ€

Gonna need a factcheck on that one.

Must have missed the FMS announcement for sale of TLAMs to Iran.

Yanis Varoufakis calls prosecution after admitting taking ecstasy 40 years ago โ€˜ridiculousโ€™ Greek leftwing intellectual and former minister says his indictment is indicative of far-right turn in western politics

Ridiculous persecution!

"Yanis Varoufakis, the leftwing firebrand who briefly served as Greeceโ€™s finance minister, has criticised his โ€œridiculous prosecutionโ€ for allegedly promoting the use of recreational drugs after his public admission that he once took an ecstasy pill almost 40 years ago."

As one of @murray.senate.gov โ€˜s atheist constituents I too am pleased and proud to see this statement from her pushing back at Ogles attempt to define this nation as a theocratic state. All my friends of other faiths should be welcome here as part of the great tapestry of cultures.

We are a secular democracy. If you don't like the freedom of religion, you are welcome to move somewhere else.

In America, you can be Christian, Muslim, Jewish, or anything else. It's written into our Constitution. ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ

I understand that there are a lot of folks on the left who instinctively recoil from religious language, and with good reason given its use by the right.

But please listen to this, and focus on how he's trying to realign "Christian values" so they align with and advance progressive policy goals.
