“It just seems so insane,” said Rogan, who endorsed Trump in 2024 and said he still texted with him on occasion. “He ran on no more wars: End these stupid, senseless wars. And then we have one that we can’t even really clearly define why we did it.”

How can we forget when Trump took Putin’s side back in 2018 in Helsinki!

When coronavirus first hit 6 years ago, I warned that Trump would do a disastrous job handling it.
400,000 Americans died of Covid-19 under Trump.
Now he and his lackeys are dismantling our public health agencies and firing experts who could protect us from the next pandemic.

We’re trapped inside this never-ending algorithmic scroll where our dopamine-fuelled lust for the endless new is Trump’s literal foreign policy. In three months, we’ve careered around the world in his wake from Venezuela to Greenland to Iran. Next stop Cuba.
Latest from @carolecadwalla.bsky.social:
"This means Trump and Republicans will be unable to fix the November midterms harder than they are already trying to fix them via gerrymandering, ICE intimidation, and other kinds of election f*ckery. They’ll have to face their deep unpopularity head on."
Hell yes from @lebassett.bsky.social!
A scandalous read from @noahshachtman.bsky.social in @vanityfair.com.
Rubio's BFF is an accused foreign agent and money launderer. His trial is about to start — and yes, Rubio is on the witness list.

Trump's got about 39% support right now. How is that possible?
two things:
1. fascism has a constituency
2. partisanship is powerful
I talk about both at some length here. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/why-isnt-t...
Dear Latino & Hispanic voters,
The Republican Party believes that masked federal thugs lawlessly roaming our streets, racially profiling brown & black people, and terrorizing immigrants & citizens is just a “little hiccup.” I thought you should know.

BREAKING: As many as 150 U.S. troops have been wounded in the war with Iran, according to sources familiar—far higher than the Pentagon’s publicly disclosed figure of just 8 seriously wounded troops. The true toll of this war is already far worse than the public has been told. (Reuters)
🚨BREAKING: Democrats filed a lawsuit Tuesday demanding President Donald Trump’s administration unveil their plans, if any, for deploying federal officers or troops on election day. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Because declaring war would mean you have to do your damn job, Mr. Johnson!

Everything’s fine.
The US Secretary of Homeland Security just oversees the federal agencies dealing with border security, immigration enforcement and services, transportation security, cyber‑security, disaster response, and protection of critical infrastructure.
Nothing important, obvs.
Another excellent piece by @paulwaldman.bsky.social in @atrupar.com’s PN.
“He has no national security experience, no law enforcement experience, and no experience in immigration or any of the other issues the department deals with.
On the other hand, he did run his family’s plumbing business.”

Pentagon today: the war is just getting started!
Their commander in chief, less than an hour later: "the war is very complete"
What an honor to receive @hrc.org’s 2026 Ally for Equality award at HRC South Florida’s annual dinner.
Silence is not civility. Silence is complicity. As an ally, we must be louder because progress has never come from silence.
These times demand the courage to stand up & fight back for equality.

Trump is completely flailing. He didn't anticipate the economic blowback and now he's trying to undo the past 10 days and contain the damage.
The bottom line is Trump sacrificed 8 American lives (& counting) and more than 1,000 Iranian lives (& counting) for nothing. He hurt the US & global economies, destabilized the Middle East, & will pull out with the same Iranian regime in power. There's no silver lining.
A senseless, criminal waste
Those who have tamped down concerns about the SAVE Act’s chance of passage in the Senate are wrong. Keep your eyes on the prize. The potential for a blowout in 2026 is top of mind for Trump, and there are only a few ways to avoid it.
