Just a reminder that Iran did not always have this government, they had a socialist government and in 1953 the US overthrew it to protect the profits of BP oil, that is what fascists do and they are still doing it. What the US is doing today with Israel will only weaken the globe.

Trump only puts the finest people in the most senior positions of the government.

Covering sessions daily at the Commission on the Status of Women this week, one question keeps coming up for me:
How can responsible media better amplify the institutions trying to address global crises?
Too often we are not meeting the moment β€” we are being entertained by it.
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus & @DrTed...β€’ 6h
Global military expenditure just hit $2.7 trillion - in a single year.
According to @UN estimates, ending world hunger by 2030 would require $93 billion annually.
That means we spend almost 30 times more every year on killing each other than on making sure everyone eats.

This is Director of WHO. And that’s exactly the point I’m trying to make all day every day this week.

Hegseth decimated the office that is tasked with minimizing civilian casualties. I'd say that is a direct link.

This is what happens when you allow amoral frat boys to control our government.

They haven't the brains, integrity, or even basic working knowledge to have a freaking clue what they're doing, and so far, they're conducting themselves as though they were playing a video game without consequences.

It appears that a MAJOR problem that led to the bombing of a girls school, was that Hegseth's military FAILED to use UP-TO-DATE intelligence imaging or data. Reports are that the site WAS apparently a Iran Navy HQ - - - - BEFORE 2013!
It's BEEN a girls school - - - - SINCE 2013!

As a congressman, Markwayne Mullin made not one but two solo trips to Afghanistan, ignoring State Department warnings so he could play action hero.

He’s a former amateur MMA fighter, not a veteran.

If he’d been captured or injured, American troops would’ve had to risk their lives to bail him out.

NEW: We're demanding information from the Trump administration about its new restrictions on federal childcare and family assistance funding.

These nationwide restrictions are already placing a strain on childcare providers and families who depend on these essential programs.

Beige graphic with black and red text: "ICE and CBP funding exploded in 2025. Congress must not give these agencies any more no-strings-attached money" and a red bar graph showing ICE and CBP funding gradually increasing from $23B in 2020 to $29B in 2024 before drastically increasing to $169.7B

ICE and CBP are operating with record money and without necessary restrictions.

Incompetence & Trump's volatility complicates everything in & is horribly dangerous & undermines confidence of everyone involved.

Fuck fossil fuels & also this unhinged, impulsive, ignorant, & uncoupled from reality chucklefuck can launch nukes ffs.

This is bonkers & bad.

Trump told them very sternly not to do this in a Truth Social post so I’m shocked they would defy him like this. Maybe Iran doesn’t have an account.

Is this lunatic out of her mind? Does she not know there was no imminent threat by Iran. A little more homework and a little less propagandizing would do her a world of good. But this is Faux Propaganda, we shouldn’t expect, you know, facts and such. Faux News and its employees should be shut down.

ICE just picked the same company that provides security for Alligator Alcatraz to turn its mega warehouse in Surprise, AZ into a 1,500-bed detention center.

Uh, oh. Farmers are griping about the rising costs of fertilizer for the spring planting season. One Iowa farmer said the cost is up by 77%!

Trump: "We're gonna cut of all trade with Spain don't want anything to do with Spain."

Immediately disqualifying for the job for which he has been nominated. The 4th Amendment specifies it’s β€œthe right of the people,” not of citizens.

We cannot allow someone who doesn’t understand the 4th Amendment to be the head of DHS.

There is a reason every other president refused Bibi’s invitation to start a regional war. Trump was the only one dumb enough to take the bait.

Trump Declares Iran War Nearly Over: β€˜The War is Very Complete, Pretty Much’ President Donald Trump on Monday declared the war in Iran was "very complete" while issuing a grim warning to the country.

2003: Bush struts onto an aircraft carrier to declare "Mission Accomplished" in Iraq.

Reality check: the war lasted 8 more years.
4,400+ U.S. soldiers died.

2026: trump says the Iran war is β€œalmost over.”

Must be nice to confuse a podium for a finish line while other people do the dying.

Human waste backing up in basements is a gut-churning sign of US infrastructure problems A major sewer pipe collapse has dumped hundreds of millions of gallons of sewage into the Potomac River, highlighting a nationwide problem involving failing infrastructure.

No money to feed hungry children.
No money to home the unhoused.
No money for health insurance.
No money to stop sewage from backing up into our homes.
But billions of dollars are spent bombing a country that was no threat to us.

β€œAffordability is a hoax.”
He said that. Then started a war with Iran and handed us the biggest gas price spike in 43 years.
He wasn’t lying about affordability. He was warning you he didn’t care. #TrumpsGasProblem​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Pete Hegseth, Moral Failure, and the Erosion of Military Legitimacy Congress needs to find out if any laws were broken and who is responsible.

When senior leaders disparage legal oversight, sideline JAG officers, impede the ability of the press to report, or treat accountability as the enemy, they do more than risk unlawful action. They weaken the moral foundation that makes our military credible.
