Give this toddler a snack and let him watch an old movie that glorifies rich people.

Sounds like a CAPITAL idea!! By all means, let’s socialize the higher oil costs by using the US military, so the oil companies don’t have to pay for higher insurance costs. /s

This photo is really something. His eyes are bloodshot and I swear I can imagine him begging to wear a t-shirt and jeans like everyone else because he feels like a trained #TrumpMonkey.

I thought we already did this one. Voted it down. Or am I a psychic who can see the future? 🧐

Trump now says the US might deploy its Navy to escort commercial ships thru the Strait of Hormuz to prevent rising oil prices. But using our military to be high-priced “escorts,” our troops & military resources are taking all the risks & expenses for “cheaper” oil. #Socialism #NoWarForOil #Iran

YouTube video by Congressman Don Beyer Don Beyer On Trump’s War In Iran

Trump’s war in Iran is not smart, not legal, not morally right and not in our national interest.

Congress must act and vote for the Khanna-Massie War Powers Resolution.

Add to the list of poor planning:

[Trump] had “three very good choices’ for who could take control of Iran, and then told ABC News that the ‘attack was so successful it knocked out most of the candidates” for leadership.”

How would Israel have files that are being held in secret by the FBI and DOJ?

That makes no sense at all.

Ain't it the fucking truth?

So now tWumpus is up to 4 or 5 weeks for his latest war estimates. Who wants to guess it’ll be up to 6 or 7 next? Anyone? #six-seven #EpsteinIranWar

He’s been changing the goal posts at least once a day. First a week, then a couple of weeks, and now longer.

To be fair, he doesn’t care about the living ones either, other than what they can do for him.

US moving pregnant immigrant girls to Texas to avoid providing abortions, critics say Ex-official calls transfer of unaccompanied girls as young as 13, many pregnant due to rape, a human rights violation

I try not to let myself feel shocked at the violence, neglect, & cruelty built into this fascist regime’s treatment of women & children. But this is truly shocking. I don’t imagine most of these “officers” would allow their own loved ones to be subjected to this.

The Dangerous Incoherence of Trump’s War With Iran The president doesn’t have a clear goal in Iran but thinks he can end the war before that becomes a problem. But the problem is: He can’t.

This excellent article certainly lays out several key complications that will arise with this ME pandora’s box. There’s also the likelihood that he has other irons of his own in the fire that’ll benefit him/his family. Always follow 💰 when Trump is involved. Rachel Maddow has suggested as much.

Lie-checking would be more accurate.

The man has lost his marbles.

How Trump will fill his immigrant gulags DHS is rewriting its detention rules to ignore the law—and entrap millions.

Even if you feel safe in your identity & neighborhood now, at any moment, this lawless regime could take freedom away from you, or your children, your parents or even grandparents. Get to know your neighbors & organize.

Just a few hours have gone by and apparently, Anthropic lost this dance. Open AI & #SamAltman already cut in when someone wasn’t looking. I can’t even. We are so f-ed.

OpenAI Reaches A.I. Agreement With Defense Dept. After Anthropic Clash

Corruption in plain sight. They were going to cut Anthropic loose no matter what. This is insane, fooling around with our national security, ability to limit the inappropriate use of AI in weapons deployment, and Americans’ right to privacy.
