I kid you not... The same White House that forgot that invading Iran might lead it to close the Strait of Hormuz, is now arguing (through Peter Navarro) that war with Iran is a good idea because it'll prevent Iran from closing the Strait of Hormuz.
Solar does not care about the Strait of Hormuz.
Oil flows through chokepoints. Solar follows a learning curve.
Great piece @azeem.bsky.social

If only there was another war I could think of in recent memory involving the US in the Middle East, where regime change was promised, didn’t happen, victory was declared and then the whole thing was repeated catastrophically badly at a later date. 🤔
You know how Trump wanted to send our military into our cities, even though that is not their job? Can we send ICE/CBP to Iran even though that is not their job?
Our representative government is almost gone. We have a criminal conspiracy masquerading as a federal government.
They are doing virtually nothing for the average American.
Their focus is on personal wealth and power. And unwavering loyalty to the authoritarian ruler.
Rescue America. VOTE!
Today's abysmal jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy.
What's required is investment in working people — and better wages.
When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs.
Remember this.
Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"
Holy Hell!
ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.
They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.
Trump is lying.
I serve on the Intel & Armed Services Committees.
There’s no intelligence that Iran posed an imminent threat to the U.S. or the American people.
That tracks!
For the last decade, the only Imminent Threat to the United States has been Donald J. Trump.
Blatant grifting!!

My Dad? WW II - Capt USArmy. My great uncle James - WWI - killed & lies at Argonne Forest - pvt USArmy. My son - USArmy - desert storm - military intelligence. My husband - Capt USAF - Vietnam War pilot.
Our current situation is a disgrace.
The President has launched our nation and our great military into a war of choice, risking American lives and resources, ignoring American law, and endangering our allies and partners. It does nothing to help with the urgent problems here at home that Americans face every day.
That’s bullshit mr. Jennings. Do better. Good God nobody believes that BS.
I don't give a crap if Trump had Khameini killed.
He's still torturing and imprisoning immigrants and U.S. citizens.
He's still terrorizing peaceful protestors.
He's still planning to steal the 2026 midterms.
He's still a pedophile.
How about a picture of Puff.
They should all be headed to DC to assembly & demand democratic action.
That sums it up. F—- us all.
What a nitwit!
They found him. He died.
Another murder by our immigration goon squads
For the first time in league history, the WNBA generated enough revenue in 2025 to trigger revenue sharing with players. Players will receive $8 million.
The union will also pay out $9.25 million from revenue generated from its group licensing program.

Add that to the list of stuff that has to be done when we get the country ready to reboot.
He’s pitiful.
SCOTUS struck down the Trump tariffs, in part based on the major questions argument we made in our amicus brief!

As the world reels from the president's rant and threats of additional tariff chaos, I'd just like to remind the UK that they recently arrested someone who could probably bring down this entire house of cards with very little incentive.
