Spanish PM Sánchez responds to Trump:

"Spain is against this disaster... Govts are here to improve people's lives... It is absolutely unacceptable that those leaders who are unable to fulfill that mission use the smoke of war to hide their failure, and in the process, fill the pockets of a few."

Trump’s Orwellian Board of Peace Consists Entirely of Human Rights Abusers An Intercept analysis finds that every single Board of Peace member state has been rebuked for human rights violations.

An Intercept analysis finds that every member state of the Board of Peace has been rebuked for human rights violations, including many by Rubio’s own State Department. “The Board of Peace is going to almost be looking over the United Nations and making sure it runs properly,” Trump said.

Despite Promises, Veterans Affairs Department Cut Thousands of Roles for Doctors and Nurses

Got it. There's plenty of funding to send troops into harm’s way, but not to take care of their health afterwards. This is shameful.

China no longer buys US exports: Drawing the right lessons for the next Trump-Xi deal China essentially stopped buying US exports in April 2025. President Donald Trump had started his second term by launching a new trade war that he headlined with steep new tariffs on China. When China...

So much winning:

“US exports of goods (to China in 2025) were 26 percent lower than in 2024…. By one estimate, US exports to China would have been nearly 60 percent higher in 2025, or roughly $90 billion annually, without Trump’s trade wars.” www.piie.com/blogs/realti...

I already miss #Shorsey and hope it goes on forever. I’m neither a Canadian nor a hockey guy, but the love letter to the sport and its warriors is the perfect mix of crude, ridiculous, poignant, and tender.

More, please.

he is 73 years old. my god.

I hope the American people realize that this war is creating more veterans that will need care for decades to come. This administration has been attacking the VA pretty much since day one. Two weeks ago the VA was trying to sneak through a new rule that would cut benefits for disabled veterans!

I hear you, but it feels more like a purity test to me. I don’t agree with my Senators on a number of issues but in the whole believe them to be good people fighting for what is right.

That is my impression of Crockett.

That’s the point. Sinclair wants TENGA and is willing to do whatever it takes to sink Nexstar (no saint in itself) from taking it.

In a Biden/Harris world, the FTC would be very dubious of either merger.

But in the Epstein Administration, the thumb is on the scales for Sinclair.

Sorry, I’m not a one-issue voter. She has been incredible in taking on the rot inside the Epstein Administration; perhaps the best of the House Democrats.

If she is not comfortable going all out against the Netanyahu neo-Kahanist regime, I personally am willing to forgive that.

Quick history lesson to your point:

The tragedy of this is that this is about which corporate giant gets to tell local viewers what they should think.

Nexstar and Tenga are trying to merge, but ultra-conservative Sinclair is trying to upend the deal.

None of these ends are good ones, but some are worse than others.

A serious question from someone who is not a TX voter, but has tracked her work in Congress; why not? Happy to be educated, but what has she done that could be considered dishonest?

Don’t think we disagree. Just wish the actual work done as a MoC mattered as much as what the campaign ads said.

Alas, we are not that nation.

For me, #StarTrek is the roughest ride here, given its particular nature.

But there is plenty of room for debate as to how compromised so much of Americana has now been co-opted by the worst of people.

To paraphrase Mr Spock in Wrath of Khan, “Truly, the worst of times.”

You are talking about her campaign style. I am talking about what she has actually done as a Member of Congress.

Two very different things.

Talarico is a fine candidate, and probably the most “electable” for TX.

But, let’s be honest. Crockett put in the time, energy, and honesty to be the right candidate.

I hope we can as a nation reach a point when women as fine as her are given the respect they are due.

A reminder that regime change was achieved in Afghanistan *twice.*

First the Soviets, where forced communist secularism did free a generation from fundamentalist oppression.

The Taliban came back.

We then tried it, and freed a generation from fundamentalist oppression.

The Taliban came back.

Yep.

The permeation of premillennial Christian fundamentalism into the ranks of our military is frightening.

Those in the military who believe that their actions have a higher authority than the Constitution are far more likely to be willing to turn their weapons on Americans if (when?) called upon.

American families are struggling to afford groceries, health care, and their utility bills. Now Trump’s war of choice in Iran is driving up oil costs too.

The Epstein class's kids won't die in this war. Poor families' kids will.

Billionaires won't suffer. Middle class families will pay more for everything.

And for what? For a different hardline cleric to run Iran than the one who was about to die soon anyway?

In which Alito admits it

Trump is really getting more openly Monty Burns like by the day.

Don’t forget the adjudicated rapist part of his legacy. Should never be left out.

Dear lord. Some DACA recipients have been here since they were toddlers.

Furthering my point…

Republicans are pushing hard for a bill that would disenfranchise trans voters - LGBTQ Nation The Save America Act would force people to produce a birth certificate or passport to register to vote--and explain why their name changed.
