That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.

Reminder that Congress has the power to stop this.

Maybe it’s a bad idea to put people in charge of government who are eager for the rapture.

"Our interest, I think very much is in not going to war with Iran. It would be a huge distraction of resources. It would be massively expensive to our country."

Is there any precedent in US history for going to war without even an attempt to build support among the American people?

He gave a 1.5 hour SOTU speech less than a week before attacking Iran in which he barely mentioned Iran.

This is how dictators act, not presidents.

Donald Trump started a war and quickly blamed Iran for his defeat in 2020. He is plotting to steal the 2026 election. And his buddy David Ellison just won control of CNN.

They've monetized and incentivized committing crimes against humanity.

It's a scandal on par with Pete Rose betting on baseball, if Pete Rose were undersecretary of defense, and baseball was murdering civilians with bombs.

No justification, no authorization from Congress, and no clear objective.

But none of that matters to Donald Trump — and apparently neither do the safety and lives of American service members.

The FBI being on high alert for terrorist actions is important right now.

Too bad they fired and gutted their counterterrorism capacity

Former Harvard president Summers’ soft landing after Epstein revelations is case study of economics’ trouble with misbehaving men Despite repeated calls for the university to revoke his tenure, the economist held onto his teaching and academic appointments until he chose to retire.

Former Harvard president Larry Summers will retire with the title “president emeritus” after scrutiny over his ties to Jeffrey Epstein — a soft landing that, one economist argues, underscores academia’s tolerance of powerful, sexist men.

Everything the Ellison family could own if Paramount buys Warner Bros:

Paramount+
CBS
CNN
Showtime
HBO
Warner Bros
TNT
TBS
MTV
DC Studios
Nickelodeon
Comedy Central
Cartoon Network
And more...

This is a rotten deal that the Trump regime has rubber stamped.

State AGs must step in and block it.

Casey Means is dangerous & unqualified for Surgeon General.

Check out what fmr SG, Jerome Adams had to say:

“You wouldn’t promote someone to general without them meeting basic military standards…why should you lower the bar for public health?”

Agree? Call your senators & let them know.

If you’re wondering why the Trump Administration is cutting off health care for people across our state - look no further than the President’s own words:

“retribution is coming”

‘I have never seen such open corruption’: Trump’s crypto deals and loosening of rules shock observers After courtship with crypto industry, president now profits immensely from a sector he once said ‘seems like a scam’

We all see that:
🥩Groceries are astronomical
🚗Imported cars cost $2-3k more
🏡Rent is higher than ever
🩺Republicans made health care totally unaffordable

But Trump's raking in the dough with his corrupt crypto schemes.

It's a real toxic slurry of having military brass that are fearful all of the time, really eager to use new expensive toys, and that have been promised full impunity if they adopt as macho and destructive a posture as possible.

“He was using the modeling company as a cover in part for the sex trafficking… They would send the youngest girls down to Epstein’s place in Palm Beach… When Epstein formed that company, he said to her, I want it to be set up just like Donald Trump’s modeling agency.”

Netflix drops out of bidding after WBD deems Paramount’s takeover bid ‘superior’ | CNN Business Netflix said Thursday afternoon that it has “declined to raise its offer for Warner Bros.” after the Warner Bros. Discovery board determined that Paramount has submitted a “superior” offer.

Paramount’s most recent bid, announced Tuesday, valued all of WBD, including CNN, at $31 per share. Paramount attached several deal sweeteners that appealed to the WBD board, including a $7 billion “regulatory termination fee.”

I think we need to take a step back and acknowledge the absurdity of House Republicans targeting their Epstein investigation on HILLARY CLINTON (who says she never met him!) while ignoring DONALD TRUMP (who Epstein described as his best friend!)

These are not serious people or good faith actors.

this is an absolute bald-faced lie, these were the exact consequences of the OBBB, there was a whole, separate side negotiation for an insufficient bail out for rural hospitals in order to get the bill passed and it is not to much to ask the press corpse to remember basic details
