If we already won, why is our navy too scared to escort tankers through the Strait of Hormuz?

Its small beans, but honestly hilarious how vain Trump is that he mistakenly said it was an "excursion" rather than "incursion" and now he's going to gaslight everyone as if that's a normal way of speaking.

Just like the insane asylums with immigrants because he couldn't understand seeking asylum.

I'm letting myself believe he is now the floor manager of an industrial kitchen of some kind

Blah blah blah

Trump sounds so deranged, frenzied, and dangerously unbalanced on Iran that every Republican refusing to say it publicly is drifting toward something that looks a lot like criminal negligence.

Bartenders have gone to prison for enabling one drunk driver.

I wonder if Pete Hegseth had to provide evidence of work for the millions of dollars he spent on lobster tail…

US military spent $9 million on crab legs and lobster in the months before Iran war Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth also authorized the $100,000 purchase of a Steinway & Sons grand piano for the Air Force chief of staff’s home, according to a watchdog report

I used to work for the government. In order to justify budgets, bad actors overspend at the end of the fiscal year. So the administration spent $93B on bullshit to justify massive Pentagon budget proposals, all while gutting health care and food assistance. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

We will have won the Iran War when every Trump donor government contractor has finished their looting of America

The fragile insecure flower is crying again.

This administration is committing Watergate level crimes multiple times per week—and those are the ones we know about. It’s crazy to think about what else will come out after.

It’s absolutely essential these criminals are held responsible for their crimes. We must end elite impunity.

CNN airs compilation of JD Vance on the campaign trail saying he would keep the U.S. out of war in the Middle East. "We're going to stop sending our young people to far away lands. We are not the policemen of the world. Our interests are very much in not going to war with Iran."

For months, we warned DOGE's access to Americans' private data was ripe for abuse. And here it is:

A former DOGE employee stole the Social Security numbers & personal info of over 500 MILLION Americans.

Musk, Trump, & their DOGE lackies must be made to answer for this, NOW.

Democrats Launch Probe Into 8-Day-Old Company Behind Kristi Noem’s Ads The ads are likely the straw that broke the camel’s back on Noem’s tenure at the Department of Homeland Security.

The total of $220 million in taxpayer money awarded to make a slate of anti-immigrant ads is likely the straw that broke the camel’s back on Noem’s tenure at the Department of Homeland Security.

Trump’s surgeon general pick struggled to say a simple truth, that the flu shot is effective in reducing serious injury and hospitalization.

The hesitation says a lot about what kind of public health leadership she’d offer.

@citizencohn.bsky.social breaks down the warning signs.

BREAKING: As many as 150 U.S. troops have been wounded in the war with Iran, according to sources familiar—far higher than the Pentagon’s publicly disclosed figure of just 8 seriously wounded troops. The true toll of this war is already far worse than the public has been told. (Reuters)

Florida gas prices have skyrocketed in response to the conflict in Iran. On Monday, the state average was $3.49, the most expensive daily average since August 2024, according to AAA. The state average is $0.60 more than a week ago, $0.63 more than a month ago and $0.39 more than this time last year.

Just another normal morning where the President of the United States shares completely false claims from a conspiracy theory site. I’ve confirmed with election officials in Maricopa County that this is 100% BS.

Right, JD.

Today the United States wasted another #1B on an illegal war in Iran, money that could have been spent on funding health care or providing SNAP benefits or cancer research or academic scholarships for minorities. I could go on and on but I think you get my point. #endtheiranwarnow

Are we allowed to get the rest of the Epstein files now?

Why do I now feel that Hegseth acts like a kid playing video games in his mom's basement and screaming at every hit on the Call of Duty screen? This is his "manhood" and when the war goes south and Trump blames him, he will join the Incels and blame it all on women.
