Help us!
Dems do "see" that. Porter wants to even the field by putting burden on people with the money. Current poverty level for family of 4 is $33K - ridiculous given price of 1 bdrm apartment is $2000 in SoCal. $100K shld be the baseline; these people already pay plenty of regressive sales taxes, etc.
No, they are not telling us about casualty because it makes Insane 🤡 look bad.
When asked at press briefing where he was once again bragging about "maximum lethality", how many troops dead & injured, he looked stupidly at military commander with him & he didn't give an answer because, you know, it makes Insane 🤡 look bad.
Another court loss for Insane 🤡; this time, judge reinstates VA union contract ruling it's elimination by Insane 🤡 was retaliatory (isn't everything he does retaliatory) & violates First Amdt.
I want Netenyahu tried & convicted of war crimes in the worst way. So much blood on his hands & with our Insane 🤡 in his pocket, he won't stop until - when? Does he really think Israel can dominate the Middle East - the spiritual & cultural heartland of Islam?
Noem would still be here, despite her incompetence, but Joe Neguse's skillfull cross-ex about that $220M PR contract, made her look so bad she was forced to find a way out & so she blamed Insane 🤡. Thanks, Joe.
Case in point. 👇 Judge Boasberg blocks DOJ criminal investigation of FRB Chrm Powell writing the grand jury subpoenas were a “mere pretext” to unlawfully pressure the Fed.
“The abundant evidence" cited by court are Insane 🤡's own words for weeks lamenting how he hated Powell & wanted him gone. 😑

Regime members shld have consigliari to advise them how to commit crimes w/o providing reams of incriminating evidence. Hegseth eliminates DOD civilan risk assessment unit, calls for "maximum lethality" & to "ignore rules of engagement", then admits bombing girls school. War Crime-18 U.S.C. § 2441!
The Epstein scandal should not be the only thing upon which Congress spends it time.
Our AG, agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov, promises to challenge this merger. It's unusual for antitrust cases to present viable 1st Amnt issues but, based on language like this, government involvement in colluding with Ellison to limit free speech should be easy to prove.
Nothing here, either says FBI after closing probe of 2020 Nevada election results. FFS, the taxpayer is footing the bill for all this craziness.
Baffling!

Yes, he & his cabal do make a lot of money. The corruption is out in the open, complete indifference to public opinion, lying 24/7 - he is rogue, out of control & nuclear disaster for Iran, sought after by Netenyahu, is not out of the question.
Hegseth now admits US responsible for bombing girls' school in Iran, but blames outdated maps. Had he not destroyed DOD Civilian Protection Center of Excellence, begun under Biden, those maps would have been up to date. But, Hegseth really wants death in any form.
Baffling!

Over 4 years watching his people getting slaughtered on daily basis, with no end in sight. Seeing "partners" pussying out, seeing things getting worse at every turn:
"escalation managers" => tRump => war in Iran.
How does he handle all this? Maybe his hope is gone...

I feel only respect & compassion for Zelensky & am also tiring of the way Europeans are treating him, esp since Ukraine is the finger in the dyke of Russia's westward expansion.
It's time to step aside, Jim.
It defies the imagination - did no one in the regime or it's ideological supporters see that this single act by Iran could cripple the world? Well, Iran is going to make sure it doesn't slip anyone's mind in the future. What's more, Iran's tactic makes absolute sense.
There MUST BE ACCOUNTABILITY for Epstein perpetrators nationwide. I've worked in state & fed criminal justice systems my whole life; there is no respect for the system nor should there be when it's common knowledge that justice favors the rich & powerful. Let the 'Age of Hypocrisy' come to an end.
The Trump White House posted a 34-second AI-generated video showing animated bowling pins as Iranian officials and footage of destroyed targets, captioned "STRIKE," prompting backlash amid a conflict that has killed seven U.S. service members and injured 140.
Monstrous!
There will be no success in Iran, but that doesn't stop him from lying about it & unless the GOP stop him, this madman is on the loose.
One shouldn't confuse the poor excuse for mental health treatment in US with treatment, even if involuntary, in which quality & spirit of care is still deeply humane - emphasizing dialogue, dignity, minimal coercion, peer relationships & connection to community rather than control and containment.
So funny! I think it's real, or is it AI?
A less ideological thread is about the disillusionment of young men who thought Insane 🤡 would bring about a safe & secure world through economic success & no wars. They're turning away from MAGA because he betrayed them.
WSJ attempts to talk some sense into GOP about getting rid of filibuster to pass Save Act. Surprisingly, it omits the fact that if passed, Save Act will be faced with a multitude of legal challenges & SCOTUS won't decide the case before midterms as is the plan for other cases involving VRA.
This is exactly the type of wake up call Dem leadership needs. They must, for once, refuse to fall in line & stand firm against any additional funding of this war, FS! We know there was no urgent threat from Iran & the regime has no obective & no plan. The PEOPLE SAY NO!
