The Quiet One

Tweet by Senator Patty Murray criticizing Trump’s Iran war, saying the narrative has shifted from “this isn’t a war” to fighting until unconditional surrender while Americans die and prices rise, arguing Congress must stop it.

Vote in the midterms like your children’s and grandchildren’s lives depend on it. Because they do.

The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed...

"How will you pay for it?"

The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts...

"How much do you need?"

It doesn't have to be this way.

Donald Trump doesn’t give a fuck about our troops.
He doesn’t give a fuck about anyone but himself.
He never has and he never will.

Post from the Maine Wonk asking whether JD Vance or Donald Trump thanked Ukraine after a tweet noting the U.S. is deploying Ukrainian drone interceptors to fight Iranian drones in the Middle East despite previously cutting off Ukraine’s weapons.

Who has the cards now?

The DHS shutdown ends the minute Republicans agree to reasonable ICE reforms that the majority of Americans agree with. But they refuse any changes because masked, poorly-trained paramilitary agents terrorizing communities is what they want.

Evidence is already unraveling Trump’s story

When asked about the Minab school strike, Trump said it was Iran’s missile.

But evidence points the other way. Investigators say a US strike aimed at a nearby Revolutionary Guard site likely hit a girls’ elementary school instead.

Great job MAGA. Not only can you not afford groceries, you can’t afford gas or insurance and Trump has taken us to war.

Are we great yet?

Oil is not up because of just the war. It’s because Trump has been bat shit crazy in how he has been talking and has made no effort to lay the case out logically.

AOC: The Pentagon has not passed an audit, and they are out here trying to kick people with disabilities off of Medicaid. It is corruption that is stealing from the public coffers — and that is the actual waste, fraud, and abuse.

POWERFUL MESSAGE! 🔥

The DOJ released evidence, which the FBI deemed credible, that the President of the United States sexually and physically assaulted a 13 year old girl AND she was afraid to talk about it because Trump would kill her—and it’s somehow not the biggest scandal in American history?

No more moving on. These people need to pay for what they did. If not here then send them to another country to judge them and to imprison them. We need discipline again. Especially for the pathologically corrupt.

TRUMP’S ILLEGAL WAR: entering week 2

📌 Another US service member has died from injuries suffered in Saudi Arabia. Death toll is now 7

📌 Mojtaba Khamenei, son of former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, named as the new supreme leader, a hardline cleric closely tied to the Revolutionary Guard.

📌So we've blown up kids, and sacrificed our troops in Iran all so we could end up with a monster's son, Mojtaba Khamenei.
Picture somebody rubbing out Trump, just so we could end up with this guy for the next 30 years:

Project 2025 & The Draft

Like clock work. Whenever Republicans run the government, they trash the economy for working people. Prices go up. 10 of the last 11 recessions were under Republican Presidents.

Good for the mega corporations and billionaires, bad for everyone else.

On behalf of Democratic candidates everywhere in 2026, I hereby request maximum TV appearances over the next several months from Lindsey Graham to discuss foreign policy, and even more from Stephen Miller to talk about his domestic policy agenda.

Screenshot of an X post by HasanAbi commenting on how to discuss trans issues with median voters. The post quotes Marco Foster, who says the anti-trans campaign in Maine is funded by an out-of-state billionaire to distract from tax discussions and notes that very few trans kids compete in high school sports there. Below is a podcast-style video still of a man speaking into a microphone.

When you hear them target any vulnerable community—immigrants, trans people, refugees—ask first why they're trying to distract and divide us. Don't fall for it.

Yeah, good luck trying to convince the majority of Americans that the party who doesn’t control the presidency, senate or house is responsible for airport delays. Maybe you can give them a class on the filibuster then explain why their ICE reform request is unreasonable.

DC folks actually sort of need to demand that heads roll over this. It’s a real problem if law enforcement in the capital is so pathetic, weak, and supine that their instinct is to act as stormtroopers for illicit federal power grabs.

Trump can’t fire Pam Bondi without his entire Epstein coverup finally imploding. But that doesn’t mean we can’t hold her accountable.

When Democrats take back the House this November, I will certainly investigate her.

That was also true in Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan.

BRACE! Oil just opened and immediately climbed to $106 a barrel. It may hit $120 today.
