Trump is spending $1 billion a day waging war on Iran. Meanwhile...
Trump's sons are investing in a drone company that could soon receive Pentagon contracts.
And of course Trump's Big Oil donors stand to gain windfall profits as the price of oil skyrockets.
War is a racket.

When the government tells you we can’t afford healthcare or schooling.
Ask them how much we spent on the Iran war in the last week.
When people say this moment feels alarming, they’re right.
But it’s important to recognize something else:
This didn’t begin yesterday.
It began the moment a presidency decided that truth was whatever the president said it was.👇
"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.
Just a reminder that Muslims have been on this continent since the first arrival of non-Indigenous people. They were among the first generation of Americans, and have been here ever since.
Thought I would have gotten used to it by now, but I’m still grappling with the realization of just how stupid the men running this country are.
me paying $30 in gas to buy imported things that have been hit with tariffs bc joe rogan is learning about politics at age 58
WTF?! Is he talking about targeting civilians?!
Even if you are 100% convinced that Democracy is already dead and our votes won't count...
PLEASE VOTE ANYWAY!
I'm begging everyone. There is a critical mass of voter turnout that will be too big to fix.
Please vote, no matter how bleak it seems.
Another way to support Women is to prosecute predators. Or at least remove them from office.
It’s been a hard week. If you’re feeling angry, you’re not alone. I see it in your comments. I’m struck by how you are fighting back against this tyranny, nonetheless.
You are giving me hope.
Some thoughts... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/sunday-thought-we-will-prevail
A cartoon of Pete Kefsbreath shouts at American flag-draped coffins: “STOP TRYING TO EMBARASS THE PRESIDENT!”
Every time a woman runs for president I hear that she’s too emotional and unstable to make wartime decisions, unlike the men in charge who make really reasonable decisions like bombing kids to death, starting water wars, and poisoning the entire planet
Spotted in Nashville this week…
If we take veto-proof control of Congress - & we will, & after we impeach Potus & Veep & replace w/our Speaker, the NEW 1st law we pass must be that a criminal president can't pardon co-conspirators, retroactively. By the time it gets to SCOTUS, we'll have impeached the ones who'd vote against it.
Photo of several relatively large (15cm high) crustose lichens on a flat, rock wall surface. The lichen in the middle is light grey with black specs. The lichens on the left and right are orange in colour. The large light grey lichen in the middle has three brown lichens growing on it that look two eyes and an open mouth…giving the grey lichen a ghost or ghoul-like appearance.
Boo! Happened upon this scary fella a few years ago on a hike here in #Newfoundland. Crustose lichens on rock. Height is about 15cm.

Jake Tapper is seriously a horrendous person
She was right
They were right
For real
Don’t be a pig dude

Another forever war in the Middle East.
Kristi Noem’s Mount Rushmore sized corruption.
An abysmal jobs report.
Special guest @wkamaubell.bsky.social and I discuss the week that was (and more!) on a new Coffee Klatch. Join us.

Why do doctors take it so personally when patients experiences of their treatment plans don’t meet up with their rigid expectations? We’re not having symptoms to spite you.
We have not had a day of peace since this admin took over.
Not a day.
It’s been death, destruction, and hate. That’s the legacy.
We started with restrain ICE. Then reform ICE, then landed squarely on abolish ICE.
But I’ve moved on to prosecute ICE y’all. Every last one even if it takes 20 years of trials.
Google's motto used to be: "Don't be evil." LOL!
When I started out in journalism, I pitched a story at Conde Nast Portfolio, where I worked at the time, about a rogue tech engineer at Google unleashing chaos and mass destruction. Now, here we are.
Today's abysmal jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy.
What's required is investment in working people — and better wages.
When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs.
Remember this.
Remember, if something bad happens to pedophiles, it's a shame and Donald sends his love. If you're an American citizen and you get killed in the USA because of Operation Epstein Fiasco that's just the way it is and get used to it. Eat some cake and bullets, he's off to Maralago to 'dance.'
Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.
But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.
