BRKG Oil prices jump: Iran claimed responsibility for striking 1 of 2 oil tankers now burning off the Iraqi coast.
The International Energy Agency warns the war has caused βthe largest supply disruption in history of the global oil market.β
BUT IT'S FINE COZ DONNIE'S GUT FEEL was oil would be ok
Hakeem is Bibi's Bitch!!
I think my favorite quote of the day was Mike Johnson saying that Markwayne Mullin taking over DHS was going to save Republican candidates in the midterms. Dude just needs to keep strategizing exactly like that from now until Nov.
We need to stop settling for JUST the Democrat.
Itβs not good enough to just vote the right way and show up to town halls.
We need FIGHTERS whoβll refuse the status quo and wonβt be afraid to take on MAGA.
Itβs time we demand more.
Spain just made a diplomatic snub to Israel permanent. Madrid formally ended its ambassador's posting to Israel, confirming that the role is being scrapped.

βOn the same day that Australia gave five Iranian women footballers 'asylum', they shut the door to 7,200 other Iranians who had already been granted visas and security clearances. If you didnβt believe that this was one, big, fat concocted propaganda stunt- now you do.β - Bushra Shaikh
Fascism never stops on its own. It must be defeated.
Iβve never felt more disappointed that someone survived a stroke.
The ultimate form of resistance right now is books, DVDs/Blu-Rays, and anything else that isn't right-wing media.
Read books. Public library.
Until they go bankrupt and then the Saudis will own most of it.
Programming will be 24 hour a day Trump rallyβs , Hegseth screaming Bobby badass quotes at anyone he can order to listen , Melanieβs movie on a loop and Lara Trump caterwauling Tom Petty songs
Good times

For those caring for aging parents... if you feel you've hit the wall, you just want to break down, I feel you.
Taking care of their affairs, constantly assessing their needs -- it's a lot.
We seem reluctant to share these struggles.
If you're there, I'm with you. I know we're not alone. π

There are more instances of United States Citizens being detained by ICE than there are of illegal immigrants voting in elections.

Finished painting! The sun stayed out long enough to capture the iconic timber-framed home of @tannerswines in #Shrewsbury.
There is so much history in these 15th-century beamsβit felt like painting a piece of the townβs soul.
See my previous post how it was started. #pleinair #ShrewsburyArt
Ossoff: "The president appears increasingly to have lost touch with reality. That is deeply concerning when you have a a cabinet much more concerned with winning his favor than giving good advice & the nation now plunged into war. It speaks to the necessity of winning these midterms in a landslide."
Our democracy is at stake! π¨ Tell your Senators: VOTE NO on the SAVE Act to stop Trumpβs voter suppression. Protect every Americanβs right to vote.
Act now:

While Trump pretends to be "winning" in Iran, the world truly has many losers, including the Middle Eastern travel industry . . .
Putin is running the government of the United States.
To lose Tucker Carlson, things are bad for Trumplethinskin.
He and his admin have literally cornered themselves
They want to blame it on everyone else
Yet its HIS COMMANDS, HIS LEADERSHIP,HIS ORDERS
They hold ALL THREE BRANCHES
No matter how they try to spin this
They are in A Catch-22 situation.
A paradox of their own making.
To the GOP:
