Warren: "It is still the case that the Trump admin cannot explain the reasons we entered this war, the goals we're trying to accomplish. The only part that seems clear is that while there is no money for 15m Americans who lost their healthcare, there's a billion a day to spent on bombing Iran."

At my university it is RAMPANT. I don’t think concerns are overblown in the least

The Trump administration is treating disabled veterans like criminals.

You're not going to make any money doing this and no one is going to read it, so you must hope for a secret third thing to happen

Since we’ve gone to war with Iran, thousands of innocent people are dead, including six military so far and it’s cost the United States $100B+. There was absolutely no reason for this war and we could’ve saved lives at home and extended the tax benefits for the ACA for 31B. Absolutely DISGRACEFUL.πŸ€¬πŸ’”

I'm no fancy political consultant, but, hey, if you're in Dem comms, you should notice that Fox News panicked over Trump wearing a cheap Trump merch baseball cap to receive the bodies of soldiers he got killed for no reason he can articulate, and you should absolutely lean into that.

Wow -- as first spotted by @BadFoxGraphics on X, Fox & Friends this morning used *old footage of a previous dignified transfer* to mislead their audience about the fact that Trump wore a baseball cap during the one yesterday

I think this deserves at least as much sustained attention from US media as Claudine Gay's dissertation

Perimenopause is having weird, unpleasant things happen inside your body, googling them, and then saying β€œwell shit” over and over until all your eggs are dead.

I think it's great that the president put on his most solemnly branded baseball cap to receive the returning coffins of soldiers killed in the unnecessary war he launched to distract from his failing presidency and pedophilia scandal.

Look at that gold-like letting. Classy as shit.

I’m sorry, doing this in a baseball cap sold by your campaign store is deliberately disrespecting the dead.

Worth watching the whole clip, but purely in propaganda terms it seems to me, admittedly just an amateur observer when it comes to war fighting, that it may be useful to send the message to the 91+ million Iranian civilians that we are not trying to kill them.

Poll: A majority of Americans opposes U.S. military action in Iran Most Americans disapprove of President Trump's handling of Iran, and a majority sees Iran as either only a minor threat or no threat at all, an NPR/PBS News/Marist poll finds.

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

I teach this in my horror film class and the students are always blown away by its amazing practical effects and its harrowing ending. It takes a lot to impress these CGI addicts. God bless Cronenberg forever.
