So maybe the US attacked Iran so countries would buy oil from Russia?

It was reported, Trump had a one HOUR phone call with his (foreign advisor) counterpart Putin yesterday and then he made this public announcement.

Apparently, Trump will remove sanctions giving Putin the opportunity to benefit from this manufactured war.

They don't care if we know.

Scientists Discover Way To Reverse Chemical Process Linked With Alzheimer’s Disease By watching Alzheimer’s-related protein clumping unfold second by second, researchers have uncovered new clues about the role of metal ions.

This amazing scientific advance may one day lead to either more effective treatments or dare I say perhaps a cure.
This is why it is vitally important to fund basic scientific research.

So when are Republican lawmakers going to admit this president is endangering not just the U.S. but the entire globe and stop him before he does even more damage?

But what motivates the concern? Seriously, is it just looking for a scary culture topic , because it seems absurd

More than 2 million American women get married each year- most change their names. Not to mention the number who move is even more. This is not some β€œsmall fraction” of people.

Q: Can you explain why Energy Secretary posted then deleted a tweet saying the Navy escorted an oil tanker through the Strait of Hormuz?

LEAVITT: I haven't had a chance to talk to him, however I know the post was taken down very quickly & can confirm the Navy hasn't escorted a vessel at this time

I’m working with Governor Gretchen Whitmer on trying to save The Great Lakes from the rather violent and destructive Asian Carp, which is rapidly taking over Lake Michigan, and all of the beautiful surrounds. I’ll be asking other Governors to join into this fight, including those of Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, New York and, of course, the future Governor of Canada, Mark Carney, who I know will be happy to contribute to this worthy cause. Separately, I am also working to save The Great Salt Lake, in Utah, which, in a short period of time, if nothing is done, will have no water. This is on top of everything else I am doing. Only β€œTRUMP” CAN DO IT! President DONALD J. TRUMP

FOX: Do you run a risk of being on the wrong side of President Trump in your resistance to doing a talking filibuster?

THUNE: We don't have the votes

FOX: Does he understand that?

THUNE: Well, we conveyed that to him, but we'll continue to make that argument

It's hard to say. Detention numbers are down significantly. We can't say exactly why for now (I have theories, as do others) but if the Homan/Lyons wing has convinced the White House that the Miller/Noem mass deportation pushes were bad politics, they may have finally found the brake pedal.

We have successfully bombed a school, gotten 7 soldiers killed, disrupted the world economy, and replaced an 86 year-old supreme leader with his much younger, more hardline son who is more committed to building nuclear weapons. Operation Middle East Wing is all but complete.

How Will Rising Oil Prices Affect Airfares? Here’s What to Know.

Americans want lower costs and no new wars. Instead, Trump is driving up costsβ€”for things like airfare to visit loved ones or take a needed vacationβ€”through his new, illegal war against Iran.

Judge Sykes' ruling will no longer have effect outside the Central District of Calif. That means many noncitizen detainees will be *entitled* to a bond hearing in CDCal, but the issue remains unclear everywhere else except in the Fifth Circuit, where the USCA5 accepted Trump's theory.

... of the war, the growing misalignment of incentives between the three main countries ( US, Israel, and Iran), and the inherent complexities of energy supply chains suggest that volatility is far from over.

It’s like not a single person surrounding Trump studied one thing about Afghanistan. When a bombing campaign intentionally makes life this miserable for civilians, all it does it make hardline leadership more attractive and become bulletin board material for extremist groups.

Our politics are fundamentally corrupt. And our economy is rigged against working people because of this corruption.

A group of us in the Senate are demanding public hearings on Trump's disastrous war with Iran with Secretary Hegseth and Rubio. And we've introduced a half dozen war powers resolutions to force the Senate to vote every day on the war if the hearings don't happen.
