Stupidity combined with arrogance will give us some stunning outcomes
“The Constitution vests the power of declaring War with Congress, therefore no offensive expedition of importance can be undertaken until after they shall have deliberated upon the subject, and authorised such a measure.”
—George Washington to William Moultrie, 28 August 1793
The GOP is not trying to fix the economy. They're trying to fix the election.
Keep in mind that Pete Hegseth's reported Pentagon spending spree happened just months after Trump and Republicans made devastating cuts to the social safety net in exchange for huge tax cuts for the rich.
And defense spending may soon hit a record $1.5 trillion.

Not a particularly insightful comment…but *what is wrong with these people*?
Lindsey’s diplomacy working wonders in UAE.
It makes perfect sense—there’s money to be made from all three wars
Lindsey’s really feeling like a manly man when he gets to talk like this
Please please read this from the archbishop of Chicago

The location of the plaque that was just hung, is in a place that it will not be visible to the public. While I am thankful for this first step, our lawsuit continues until they plaque is hung in accordance with the law.
What—is he just planning mass murder?
What a beautiful memento from Fr. Michael, so perfectly conveying the simplicity and wholeness of this remarkable man.
Trump on terrorist attacks in America: “Like I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die."

So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.
That's roughly $1 billion per day.
$41,666,667 per hour.
$11,574 per second.
People do not want this.
They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.
So can a US Senator commit this kind of violent assault with impunity, as long as he’s a Republican?
But surgery is presumably something being done for the benefit of the patient
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."
-Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953
Thom Tillis is threatening to use procedural moves to shut down every Senate committe he's involved in if Kristi Noem does not respond to his inquiry
This is something the Democrats could have done at any point during the last 14 months, but chose not to
Wait, so in NC federal courts have no jurisdiction on gerrymandering, but in NY they do!
Trump = America…so we all know what “America First” means.
A United States senator from the president's own party, one who serves on the Select Committee on Intelligence and the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, has no idea what's going on as America goes to war with Iran.
The president didn't bother to make the case for war in a marathon State of the Union address and then he fucked off to his sweaty gilded country club so he could literally phone in an unconstitutional war.
Every single Democrat needs to be screaming about this at full volume.
How does the Senate undo Trump’s illegal action?
We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.
This essentially makes any appropriations package that Dems agree to vote for utterly worthless. How can any Dem vote for any appropriation as part of negotiations when JD Vance will just grab the money if it’s going to a blue state? bsky.app/profile/atru...
What does it tell voters, who have said unequivocally we want fighters, that you sit & silently witness your own humiliation? If you will not fight for yourselves, are we to believe you will for us?
She justifies her gag order by appealing to “basic notions of fairness and justice.”
Seems like her intuitions in this direction are pretty different from many other Americans’, but somehow she is allowed to continue her shameless assertions of power.
From the rise of Fox to the refashioning of Twitter to become Nazi X, we see how effectively propaganda can do its work. Our country is paying a high price as the mind control merchants hone their skills.
