I have absolutely no idea what Trump is trying to accomplish in Iran, or how he plans to accomplish it, and the fun thing is that neither does he!
That's why the constitution does not give the President the authority to launch wars without Congressional approval.
Radiohead just randomly started streaming live performances and random songs from their catalogue yesterday, and it's still going.....................

Having Jim Messina at your event is basically admitting your event is about selling out to conservatives, corporations, and billionaires.
How can we trust he cares about our future? His history suggests he cares about himself, he'l do almost anything to make money. Here's a list... 1/
Its one thing to read the histories and realize that fascism is an ideology by and for weird losers who suck at everything, and another to live through it
i am sort of morbidly fascinated by how being bad at fucking everything — posting, joking, movies, fashion, design, etc., etc. — has become such an in-group signal amongst the worst people on the planet
Seems to hate “lefties” more than Republicans…
Pffft
Jon Cowan & his Third Way group — ugh — what an arrogant person w some quite out of touch ideas about voter concerns & preferences — but guess if you spend your time seeking the views of “50 top Democratic donors” those are the folks whose views you’re aware of
(in rw: to NYT article)
🤮 he’s terrible
If I were a head of state, I would think setting a precedent that assassination is a legitimate tool of state competition would be unwise
More specifically I don’t care about blame I care about CHANGE.
At this point the only ones who can make quick change are Republicans and we should direct our focus on them.
Yes in this particular moment the blame is 99.9% on Republicans. A dozen R’s in Congress could together end this presidency now
Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist
Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.
This is what happens when you don't lock war criminals up, Netanyahu and Trump should be behind bars, the only thing they should be able to order is their lawyer.
If America still had the rule of law, this would be the easiest prosecution ever, but we all know absolutely nothing will happen.
There are all sorts of structural things that need to get fixed, but the most obvious and essential requires no structural change, but a cultural one:
An end to elite impunity. Real costs for flagrant misbehavior.
We have all the tools. We just never use them.
You know what DID age well?
R THE RACKET = Except for one problem: We already know what Donald Trump would do with war and the military-industrial complex if given the chance. You may have forgotten this but: He was actually president before. Not only did Trump do a lot of killing in that time, but through his unique blend of belligerence and incompetence, he helped set the stage for most of the major crises roiling the world today. Trump's supporters like to say there were "no wars" when he was president. (Trump himself started promoting that line in the primaries.) This is such an obvious lie I don't even know where to start. He
Sorry, @peterbakernyt.bsky.social, I’ve run completely out of fucks. You’re incompetent! Give me your job. I wrote this in 2024. theracket.news/p/donald-the...
People ask what it is exactly we expect of Dems in this situation, and for me it's this.
Make these assholes fucking scared.
Make it clear that they are on borrowed time, that consequences WILL arrive, and that they will be harsh.
the US and israel are doing Russian things now
this is horiffic
Just laughed & blocked that person
The pileup of blatantly unlawful conduct by the government in this case is astonishing, as is the fact that the Supreme Court allowed the govt to go forward with this program in a shadow docket ruling
Kamala Harris: When this guy is talking about the economy is roaring…
Who’s it roaring for when you put a $1 trillion cut to Medicaid? You know what Medicaid funds? Families with children, pregnant women, seniors, people with disabilities. Meanwhile, a $1 trillion tax cut for the richest people
"The president had DOJ illegally cover up documents about allegations he sexually assaulted a child after Congress specifically passed a law requiring they be disclosed" is, in and of itself, enough to merit rapid removal from office regardless of how true or credible the underlying allegation is.
The disappearance of Larry Summers from public life cannot happen fast enough.
re: hockey, Muhammad Ali, one of the greatest boxers ever to live, gave up three years in the prime of his life — years in which his fighting would have been at peak; actual money incalculable — rather than fight in an unjust war, so noping out on grandpa’s burger bash should be an easy choice
This is both an act of war *and* a war crime, as it is similar to cutting off water or destroying power plants. It's designed to kill civilians.
Jail them now
One would think that this would merit an emergency convening of all Blue state governors, Attorneys generals and Congressional representatives. It's a declaration of war on one state which means they'll do it to others too.
Remember, john roberts' logic for weakening the medicaid expansion was that it was "too coercive" to give the states money to pay for medicaid. bsky.app/profile/apne...
In Rep. Tony Gonzales, Republicans have a sexual predator in their midst who relentlessly pursued a married staffer which ultimately resulted in her suicide, and they refuse to do anything about it because they need his vote.
That is the 2026 Republican Party.
