I have just assumed they would get rid of MLK's birthday or Juneteenth in favor of the Trump National Celebration Holiday.

No Blood For Oil vs. Exactly How Much Oil Are We Talking About? Contrary to what he would have you believe, President Bush’s plans to invade Iraq have nothing to do with such high-minded goals as liberating the Iraqi people or saving the world from terrorism. His ...

No Blood For Oil vs. Exactly How Much Oil Are We Talking About?

An infographic titled "president Trump is reshaping the media", reposted from his truth social account.

Donald Trump is now just openly bragging about interfering in the media. He's the president. He's running a truck over the first amendment here.

Yes but have you heard of the dastardly things the Biden administration did in the Twitter files?

It'll be fine, said Trump. www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

Trump Knew the Risk of Iran Blocking the Strait of Hormuz. He Still Went to War. The president told his White House team that Tehran would likely capitulate before closing the strait, the world’s most vital shipping lane.

WSJ: The likelihood of Iran closing the strait was discussed, Gen Caine predicted it, and Trump decided “Tehran would likely capitulate before closing the strait — and even if Iran tried, the U.S. military could handle it.”

ICE agents reveal daily arrest quotas and surveillance app in rare court testimony Under oath, officers said they were told to make eight arrests a day and given special tech to help choose ‘targets’

When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.

The Trump administration promised to deport one million people a year. One year in, the data tells a very different story about who is actually being deported, how it's happening, and what it's costing communities that never imagined they'd be targeted.

Hello from Minnesota

If we could just raise sea levels by 150 meters we get a backup Strait of Hormuz

Modern Republicanism is making up a thing to be scared about and then using that as the basis for policy

4th Cir., 2-1, affirms a jury finding that the operators of the Abu Ghraib Prison in 2008 are liable for conspiracy to commit torture and conspiracy to commit cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment under the Alien Tort Statute.

Damages awarded: $42 million.

A google maps view of the area around the Strait of Hormuz, with crude markup showing the 4 steps to successfully clearing the strait: 1. Build up speed 2. Hit Trampoline 3. Cool backflip 4. Nail the landing The boat is illustrated using a clip art yacht, and the trampoline is also just kind of floating there.

wait. wait. everyone hold on. i've solved it

I love the idea that *this* US government, which has been nabbing landscapers and five year olds knows where Iranian sleeper cells are but just hasn’t gotten around to doing anything about it yet.

For comparison's sake, the entire National Park Service costs $3 billion - a year.

Arguably, the straights have not been alright for a long time.

No way this man wrote "fell swoop."

BREAKING: Pentagon Report: U.S. Attcked Elementary School in Iran

Despite attempts by Trump to claim otherwise, the U.S. military was responsible for killing at least 175 in a strike on a school in Iran.

In 1990, when Congress created a protection for migrant children subject to abuse, it didn't anticipate backlogs would get bad enough that beneficiaries would wait years for a visa, and so never thought to explicitly bar deportation for winners.

Today the BIA greenlit deportation in that situation.

Jim Cramer suggests on CNBC that Trump could “bomb Tehran into the Stone Age” until Iran reopens the strait, citing U.S. bombings of North Vietnam in the 1970s. Carl Quintanilla points out to him that Hanoi won that war.

The emperor's new shoes.

Please note that everyone in this story is a man.

The world is being set on fire by a 79 year old with a ten year old’s vocabulary whose adult advisors interact with him like he’s a hangry toddler who skipped his nap.

Fragments of U.S.-Made Missile Seen in Photos Taken by Iran Near Deadly School Strike

Sun Tzu (D-NY) - “When your enemy is making a mistake, fix it for him at great cost to yourself.”

If you tend to blame him for an ongoing war, he wants you to believe it's essentially over.

If you are dying for him to obliterate Iranians, he wants you to believe he is doing that better than anyone else ever has.

His mind doesn't concern itself what what is actually occurring.

They get mad when people on SNAP want to buy soda

I love the United States stock market because it will react accordingly to geopolitical events and then all it takes to reverse this is the president who lies literally every single time he speaks saying "it's fine everything will be great" and we all have to pretend any of this is real
