This might be the greatest split-screen ever broadcast.

They’ll play this in museums in future.

UPDATE: Trump says Kushner helped convince him to go to war with Iran The disclosure highlights Kushner's massive financial conflicts.

Maybe it's just me, but I think more people should be talking about the fact that Jared Kushner helped convince Trump to start a war with Iran.

Meanwhile, Kushner's top client, Saudi Arabia, which pays Kushner $25 million+ annually, was also lobbying Trump to start a war.

The Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision has allowed billionaires and big corporations to have an outsized influence on our elections. Our democracy is paying the price.

We must keep fighting to get big money out of politics, and restore power to the American people.

Republicans are trying to BAN medication abortion in all 50 states. They want to force women to give birth no matter the circumstances.

Let me be clear: I'll be fighting to kill this bill.

American women deserve full reproductive freedom and nothing less.

Trump’s Delusions Come at Americans’ Expense The mad king says our suffering is ‘worth it’

www.contrariannews.org/p/trumps-del... Regardless of whether Trump warrants a medical diagnosis, he inarguably cares nothing about (if not outright celebrates) deaths, illnesses, suffering, economic distress, and any other harm he inflicts on those who refuse to worship him.

Here’s a quick factcheck on tomahawks, so you have it:

The only countries aside from US who have access to Tomahawks are:

Current Operators: United Kingdom (Royal Navy) and Australia (Royal Australian Navy).

Future Operators: Japan (2024) and the Netherlands (2025).

Sen. Murphy: “The DOD told us that [Iran’s] nuclear program and getting rid of it is not an objective of this war. Literally, in my other ear, I'm listening to Ted Cruz on another network explain why this military mission is so essential to destroy the nuclear program."

U.S. health care spending is the highest on Earth. Here's why Most health care services in the U.S. cost at least twice what they do in other countries, and sometimes up to ten times as much.

In the richest country in the world, no one should have to worry about how they’ll be able to afford a trip to the doctor.

It’s time for a health care system without copays, private insurance premiums, sky-high deductibles, or surprise fees. It’s time for Medicare for All.

Probably not a coincidence that Trump is launching illegal wars at the same time his idiot kids are investing in drone companies with contracts with the Pentagon.

Just out @propublica.org: How did the Pentagon make the horrible mistake that left more than 150 school children dead? Perhaps because it cancelled an effort to limit such harm in favor of Hegseth’s lust for “lethality.”

I'll be honest, making the documentary The Last Republican was a gamble. But I couldn't stay silent. Some things matter more than politics. Watch The Last Republican for free on my YouTube page.

Trump won't say if he'll send armed agents to the polls. So Dems are suing to find out “Trump wants to bully and cheat his way through a midterm election that he knows Republicans will lose, but we won’t let him,” DNC Chairman Ken Martin said.

The worst cabinet in American history And it's not even close.

"Comically unqualified, intensely partisan, & unflaggingly devoted to whatever ridiculous thing bubbled out of Trump’s mouth 5 minutes ago, as the next DHS secretary, Mullin will fit right in what will undoubtedly be regarded as the worst presidential cabinet in history." — @paulwaldman.bsky.social

Why Bluesky’s CEO is stepping down at a critical moment for the platform Jay Graber will remain at Bluesky as chief innovation officer, focusing on the platform’s technology as the company hires a new CEO to run its business operations.

#BlueSky Please don’t change all the good things you’ve brought us with this social media platform! Growing is one thing but don’t become like other platforms I.e., former Twitter etc. This has been a safe harbor in the catastrophic storm known as Trump.

Of course, the markets have just closed. Some people made millions on today’s wildly swinging oil price.

From $118 dollars, crashing down to $84. Watch it rocket again tomorrow when it turns out the war is NOT “very complete, pretty much.”

Criminal market manipulation.

Reminder: The Trump admin shut down the FREE IRS tax filing tool Direct File.

This program helped make life more affordable by making it easier for families to claim benefits.

This almost literally takes money straight from our pockets and shoves it to tax prep companies.
