The Trump White House's Vision of War As Nihilist Entertainment
In a new X post building on an earlier Hollywood action-clip montage, the White House tries to render the horrors of war as a Wii game.
New from me @thenation.com" "The glib, 4Chan-style depiction of war as a Comicon teaser reel raises a key question: just who are Hegseth and Trump trying to win over here ... their America First detractors, or to simply to troll them." www.thenation.com/article/worl...

Hegseth ignored military officials when he slashed offices that limit risk to civilians
The Defense secretary’s decision to cut offices that mitigate civilian harm faces renewed attention as the Pentagon investigates a strike that killed hundreds of Iranian children.
“Top military officials warned the Pentagon unsuccessfully last year not to gut oversight offices that limit risk to civilian casualties and investigate responsibility for their deaths…”
But Hegseth thought that limiting risk to civilians is too woke? Or not manly-man enough?

“The sooner David Ellison takes over that network, the better.” — Pete Hegseth, war minister, speaking of CNN today. In public.
Orbánization of the media is having a moment because of Hegseth's performance.

I agree with this. Trump's Iran war is going poorly. Trump & Hegseth have been completely caught out by their own mistakes. Those are facts and the media needs to cover them in an aggressive manner. The President is not mentally or physically capable of doing his job and is endangering the USA.

War is when the country most needs journalism relentlessly focused on reporting the facts, without fear or favor. Without it, Americans would not have learned of My Lai, or the truth about Watergate. That is just what Hegseth fears, and what Trump's determined to prevent by coopting the press.

OMG! Billionaires’ DISTURBING Plan For World EXPOSED
YouTube video by Katie Phang
Epstein wanted to use Zorro Ranch as a “baby farm” to impregnate women & seed the human race w/his DNA. Elon Musk wants to boost the world’s population by breeding genetically superior offspring w/his DNA.
I track the similarities between these men pushing pro-natalism.

Thank you @repsuhas.bsky.social for working for the people.
People almost stopped talking about Epstein after the war with Iran started. 🤔
We will not forget , I take comfort in knowing you won’t as well.

TREASURY SEC'S SECRET DEBTS: WHY HE WON'T RELEASE EPSTEIN FINANCIAL FILES
YouTube video by Eliza Orlins
Do you know who Scott Bessent is?
He's our Treasury Secretary. He owes Goldman $50 million, held currency bets while negotiating with China, sold farmland to his Yale roommate below market value, and won't release Epstein's financial records.

When Trump says "we make a lot of money," he's talking about his Big Oil donors.
They spent spent nearly $100M to get Trump elected in 2024, and the investment is paying off quite well for them.
Oligarchy in action.

First 6 days of Iran war cost $11.3 billion, Pentagon tells Congress
Officials briefed the Senate Appropriations subcommittee on defense. One senator said he believes the cost is higher sin
The cost of Trump's Iran War could more than cover:
-The daily cost of Medicaid for all 16M people expected to lose it under the Big Ugly Bill.
-Daily food stamps for all 41M people who rely on them.
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

The Most Dangerous Corporation in America?
The AI surveillance state is real — and it's being built by Palantir.
Palantir Technologies raked in $1.5 BILLION in income last year — including from lucrative taxpayer-funded DHS contracts — and paid ZERO federal income tax.
It's fast becoming the most dangerous and least accountable corporation in America.

Since 1994, immigrants have paid more in taxes than they receive in benefits every year.
Do not believe the lies you hear about immigrants.
They are good for society and the economy.

Medicare for All - "That's socialism!"
Social Security - "That's socialism!"
Debt free education - "That's socialism!"
Universal childcare - "That's socialism!"
$1 billion per day on a war in the Middle East that no one wants, while millions of people at home struggle.
"That's just how it is."

One of these executives was set to publicly testify this week — but Trump’s DOJ let the ticketing giant off with a cushy settlement.

Six years ago today, Louisville police murdered Breonna Taylor while serving a no-knock warrant based on false information.
They shot her six times while she slept in her home. Breonna was only 26. She was an EMT, an aspiring nurse, and beloved by all who knew her.

“No one gives a sh*t about housing.”
“Affordability is a Democrat scam.”
“If [gas prices] rise, they rise.”
It couldn't be clearer: Trump never cared about lowering the cost of living.
