Suez Crisis underrated as an analogue for Strait of Hormuz.

Yes, big foreign power, the local power has disrupted traffic through a major shipping route. Got any bright ideas?

The fact that Donald Trump is going to try to subvert the 2026 elections doesn't mean he will be successful. We have shown before that we can fight back in court and win. The key is that we must educate everyone about what is going to happen and what they can do as well to defend democracy.

You are spot on.

A handful of Republicans in Congress & Supreme Court can end this nightmare any time they choose, and history will remember them as saviors of the republic, no matter what terrible things they did to US in last 10 years: insane we cannot find a few volunteers for this plum deal!

The grim choice facing the Trump administration: Economic or naval collapse? The Trump administration is currently trapped between the specter of a global economic recession and a naval catastrophe.

The Trump administration is currently trapped between the specter of a global economic recession and a naval catastrophe. And it’s all Trump’s fault.

Your regular reminder that normal, mainstream, pro-democracy political parties do not make restricting suffrage the central pillar of their policy platform

Mayor Mamdani posts about a Trump-pardoned 1/6 “white supremacist” insurrectionist leading a racist protest at his house where they attempted to use an explosive device.

Hate has consequences. As @RepOgles fills up his feed with bigotry.

ICYMI: @GovBillLee @MarshaBlackburn have repeatedly claimed Elon’s Teslas-only tunnel in NASHVILLE would be built at “ZERO cost to taxpayers” — but they’re already committing MILLIONS yearly to Jack Johnson’s “subterranean authority” to help Boring sidestep local pushback 🤔

Amazing how much damage one malignant narcissist can cause.

ICYMI — Trump lied.

Higher oil prices = Higher everything prices

Trump just found another way to make your life more expensive. For no real reason. While innocent people die.

NBC’s Richard Engel: “The White House meme campaign is outraging many former US military commanders… they say only someone who has never really seen combat would think it’s a joke and put out material like this.”

Really, @washingtonpost.com ?

Yes. Ogles is a blatant racist. And he faces no consequences for this.

Saying this about any other group would never be allowed.

“Short term pain for long term gain”

Watch Trump’s puppets pathetically parrot their new line — that nobody is buying. #NoWarWithIran (from @bluegeorgia.bsky.social )

Gov. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social calls out ogles

PSA for Tennessee media: you are either calling out Rep Ogles’ racism for what it is, or you are normalizing it. There is no third option.

So… mission accomplished then ?

Lunatic Lindsey bringing everyone together

Here’s @huffpost covering Pinocchioges’ racist, small-minded effort to be relevant.

Will Tennessee media call this out? Or normalize it? Those are the only options.

This ugliness is why his re-election campaign owes more than it has. www.huffpost.com/entry/andy-o...

Trump continues to lie 🤥 about 🇺🇸 bombing that girls school, even with video evidence

Truly unbelievable stuff. Just up there shamelessly lying his ass off

Y’all.

"You have to believe that was accidental, despite the fact it was hit twice, 40 minutes apart. It looks very much like a double-tap.”

Tucker not buying Trump’s lie about the girls’ school bombing.

We're out here. We just try to live it and not rub people's faces in it.

Americans are already paying for this war in blood. Now, struggling under the weight of this administration’s policies, they will pay in treasure, too. [...] Do not tell us there is no money for health care. Do not tell us there is no money for college. Do not tell us there is no money for child care. There is money. There has always been money. What we lack is leadership. What we need is the courage to seize it. For every day this Congress fails to act, Americans will pay—in blood and treasure—for a war no one debated, no one authorized, and no one can justify. Ortega Democrat for Congress

With seven U.S. servicemembers confirmed dead and crude oil futures jumping 25 percent to $115 a barrel, the campaign issued the following statement on the human and economic costs of this unjust and illegal war. Read the full statement.

Just ONE generation ago, our fathers could support an entire family on a single paycheck.

Afford homes, buy cars, raise kids, family vacations, and retire with pensions… all on ONE middle-class salary.

Today? Two incomes barely cover rent in most cities.

Economists expected +55,000 jobs. Trump delivered -92,000. That’s not underperforming, that’s a 147,000-job face plant. He promised to be the greatest jobs president ever. Instead he’s torching the economy & calling it winning. We’re not winning. #TrumpsJobsSlump​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
