A Marine Corps veteran protesting Trump’s War on Iran had his arm broken by Capitol Police and GOP Senator Tim Sheehy. It appears to be a compound fracture.

The Trump Administration’s Reckless War in Iran Has Already Cost More Than $5 Billion The Trump administration has launched a reckless war of choice in the Middle East, which has already imposed an estimated cost of more than $5 billion on the American taxpayer.

The Trump/GOP halted Biden's infrastructure programs, defunded education, ended renewable energy research and much more. What are they doing with all that money?
Spending it on killing people, including American soldiers, in a useless, stupid war in Iran.

The Gaslighting of America continues, with Karoline Leavitt declaring that the USA had nothing to do with the bombing of the Minab school that killed 150+ elementary students. Satellite imagery shows SEVEN strikes on buildings with penetration marks matching those typical of American JDAM bombs.

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.

A Russian assault group near Vovchansk surrendered after a drone strike by Ukraine's 429th Brigade "Achilles" hit their shelter, with four occupants emerging one by one with hands raised. #Ukraine

Could a 9/11-Scale Crisis Be the Political Lifeline Trump’s Presidency Desperately Needs? History shows how suddenly national tragedy can transform a struggling leader into a wartime commander, and why that precedent should make Americans uneasy today…

Why would Trump, who just bombed Iran, simultaneously gut the very intelligence infrastructure built by previous administrations to detect & prevent Iranian retaliation? Because an Iranian attack on US soil would transform him into a Bush-like “wartime president."

I voted in Dallas County today. The texas.gov site wouldn't tell me where to go, so I went to where I voted in the '24 presidential election. They said I was at the wrong place, and gave me the address I needed to go to. That place then informed me I had to go somewhere else.

This woman lost her primary for a senate bid yesterday and here she is today dealing with the evil among us with gusto and 🔥 I 💞 and respect her oh so much. Thank you.

"major combat operations" sounds better in the original Russian (специа́льная вое́нная опера́ция, SVO)

Lawd have mercy. I need y’all to look at some of the replies.

I’m going to keep saying this…there’s a good chunk of people that stay mad at the Democrats because they have no clue about politics, how government works, and a lot of other important things.

Y’all…they’re upset there’s a convention.

We're two months into this election year, and Trump has already killed 150 people and launched strikes against 44 boats in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific, deposed the Venezuelan leader, menaced Greenland, occupied Minneapolis, mused about regime change in Cuba and Mexico, proposed canceling US elections, and launched a war of choice against Iran over the opposition of the vast majority of our country.

When the walls close in, authoritarians lash out.

It’s a fucking lie.

The ICE concentration camps aren't for immigrants, they're for people who speak out against this regime's wars of conquest

The worthless TV media should be pounding this home: Trump should not be declaring war without congressional approval.

The thrill Trump gets from having people blow up & kill other people, and from watching other people fight at UFC, comes from deep insecurity rooted in his personal cowardice. It makes him feel tough. It makes him feel adequate. Things he has never been but always wanted to be.

Been saying for a long time that magat is a death cult. US citizens killed by ICE? They deserved it. Covid deaths? Seniors were happy to sacrifice themselves to save the economy. Air pollution? Not a problem cuz mostly the poor are affected. Drain our aquifers? Only the rich need potable water.

DOJ's recent 6th Circuit filing misspelled:

Voters as “Votors”
Emergency as "Emeregency"
United States as "United Staes"

And, it included a non-party in the caption.

Hillary Clinton goes off on Republicans after it’s revealed unauthorized images of her were released: I'm done with this. If you guys are doing that, I am done. You can hold me in contempt from now until the cows come home. This is just typical behavior.

Statement on the comments from Secretary of War Pete Hegseth Anthropic's response to the Secretary of War and advice for customers

Anthropic says Hegseth wanted to use Claude AI for two purposes: mass domestic surveillance and fully autonomous weapons. When Anthropic refused, Hegseth designated it a "supply chain risk," something historically reserved for US adversaries

New Polling on Ousting Schumer: Necessary Policy and Smart Politics The first year of the second Trump administration was defined by horrifying authoritarian abuses from an unpopular regime that were met…

Last month, we teamed up with YouGov to ask voters in Minnesota and Michigan their opinions on Democratic leadership. The results paint a clear picture: Chuck Schumer is one of the most staggeringly unpopular politicians in America.

The Handbasket 100% independent journalism by Marisa Kabas

Now that CNN and WBD are set to become state media in a sale to Paramount/Oracle/TikTok, it is especially important to support independent media.

It took Putin and Orban years to do what they’re doing.
