how is "mayor chooses his words carefully" a NYT story but "president chooses his words like a haunted magic 8 ball on meth" not

Excursion…and is he really going to count stopping a war HE STARTED?

I'm not a commodities guy but I don't know how many more events like this the markets will be willing to overlook because Trump occasionally shouts, "nearly done!" at a reporter from his golf cart.

US struggles to evacuate American personnel from facilities under fire in Iraq: Officials Some U.S. staff were flown out by the British air force, officials said.

BREAKING:

This is Beirut right now.

Israel is MASSIVELY bombing Lebanon’s capital in the middle of the night — deliberately wiping out apartment block after apartment block.

Civilian homes. Residential buildings.

No justification. Just pure terror.🤬🤬🤬🤬

After a series of fatal strikes involving civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan, Congress directed the Pentagon to reduce civilian casualties as part of a 2019 law. During the Biden administration, the Defense Department created the Civilian Harm Mitigation and Response initiative. The civilian mitigation teams – cut by 90% by Hegseth – work with military commanders on target planning, and making sure that targets are actually military sites. The teams help come up with "no strike" lists, including religious and cultural sites and schools

I knew that the Department of War shot a missile into a school & killed 175 civilians, mostly children.

This is learned today:

Secretary of War Hegseth had cut the teams assigned to prevent such tragedies by 90%.

Experiencing synchronized and instant mitochondrial death across my entire body as I accidentally remind myself that the full line was “nothing bad can happen, it can only good happen, but with Tylenol, don’t take it”

We’ve never, ever had this before. A President completely untethered to truth. I mean completely untethered to truth. That’s such a bad thing. But you know what’s even worse? Way, way too many people don’t care. And way too much of the media no longer cares.

Sen. Murray: "I'm just sickened by this. To go into this war unprepared, to use outdated data, and to have this horrific thing happen where children were killed in a school sends a horrible message to those that are in a war with us and to our own constituents about what America's values are."

You didn’t expect a Trump cabinet official to actually take responsibility did you?

Whoa. This is big. "The U.S. Navy has refused near-daily requests from the shipping industry for military escorts through the Strait of Hormuz since the start of the war on Iran, saying the risk of attacks is too high for now." www.reuters.com/world/middle...

Well there’s some irony..

If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected — young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! — and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.

Who put this MFer in charge of the world?

The silence is deafening from most “pro-life” conservatives about Trump bombing an elementary school.

Trump: All of the people that died through the roadside bombs. Died and are right now walking around with no legs.

we're...leaving known important targets so we can go back later?

why, you could even say the mission was accomplished

Tennessee GOP Rep. Andy Ogles says Muslims ‘don’t belong’ in America The Tennessee Republican recently introduced legislation banning immigration from some Muslim-majority nations.

There is a growing sickness in the Republican Party that spawns this virulent hatred.

Replace 'Muslims' with any other faith & this man would be run out of Congress.

Their tolerance for this bigotry is a cancer in their ranks. Hate, in all its forms, should find no refuge here.

"Jews don't belong in American society."

Imagine a sitting member of Congress tweeting that. You can't. Thankfully, it'd never happen. And *if* it did, it'd be the end of their career and the biggest story in America.

But Ogles can say this about Muslims without any censure.

Wake up, a new scandal that would end any other presidency just dropped. bsky.app/profile/cram...

Lindsey’s diplomacy working wonders in UAE.

!!!

Technically we elected him, then elected someone else, he staged a coup, the coup failed, he faced no consequences, then we elected him again after he vowed revenge on us.

The MAGA arm of the Republican party are white supremacists. Some mask it better than others, but when the cloaks come off it's always the same.

The Jews who think that Trump and the GOP are their friends are being willingly played.

Kind of weird when you can watch the global market collectively go "oh shit he is that crazy".

Perfect
