The most thoughtless, unprepared administration in US history . . .

The most thoughtless, unprepared administration in US history now has us at war with ourselves, other countries, and soon mother nature (when hurricane/tornado season starts) . . . and who ya gonna call for help?

US military spent $9 million on crab legs and lobster in the months before Iran war Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth also authorized the $100,000 purchase of a Steinway & Sons grand piano for the Air Force chief of staff’s home, according to a watchdog report

I used to work for the government. In order to justify budgets, bad actors overspend at the end of the fiscal year. So the administration spent $93B on bullshit to justify massive Pentagon budget proposals, all while gutting health care and food assistance. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

Here's hoping some of those Repub. voters switch parties for the runoff or just stay home.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, Russia is winning so much that in the fifth year of its full-scale invasion, Ukraine is supplying its weapons to the U.S. and the Gulf states.

On just another day when Donald Trump and his MAGA suckups are lying their asses off about everything, this is the best possible news.

Hi! The Onion and Bluesky are throwing a party at South By Southwest in Austin on Saturday. It's free and spots are limited, so sign up nowish.

We did this last year and only a handful of people died, so we're hoping to keep those numbers down once again!

So far the war on Iran has cost $9.4 billion.

That's $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

Thousands of lives lost.

People don't want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

And both of these "coups" negotiated by Trump administrations.

Anybody watching our latest weekly review might wonder why Iran took up such a large part of the episode.

Well now:

Russia reportedly passing intel to Iran
Iranian drones flying over US bases
Ukraine helping defend US service personnel

Big “we told you so” moment.

The fact that Donald Trump is going to try to subvert the 2026 elections doesn't mean he will be successful. We have shown before that we can fight back in court and win. The key is that we must educate everyone about what is going to happen and what they can do as well to defend democracy.

Watch out . . . looks like #Bluesky is going to go through some changes.

Your regular reminder that normal, mainstream, pro-democracy political parties do not make restricting suffrage the central pillar of their policy platform

Big loss. Enjoyed his reporting.

"the president is able to trademark America’s birthday and issue his own currency while weakening the dollar . . . we're getting screwed and he's getting rich."

Well, this aged exactly how I was afraid it would

If it looks like a video game and quacks like a video game, that's probably where the inspiration comes from.

DOJ docs, FBI interview, raise new questions about Epstein's "suicide" Notes from an FBI interview indicate that prison guards discussed "cover-up"

The GOP didn't want to be caught doing the right thing. Their MAGA base would hate them.

Beshear: We are building affordable housing in rural America. It looks like the average utility bill for each of those houses is going to be about $50 a month because we’re using solar panels. We’re embracing different parts of green energy in Appalachia.

So Russia is helping Iran target American troops. Ukraine is offering drone defense.

Guess who Trump NEVER ONCE has EVER criticized?

Correct. Russia

So according to the WSJ a US Senator conspired with another country to manipulate the US into starting a war, am I getting this right

Shutting an oil well isn’t like turning off a faucet.

It’s a huge engineering risk, difficult to reverse — and an indicator the Kuwaitis don’t see choke points improving anytime soon.

How to make a bad situation worse and maybe crash the economy at the same time.

Only in Trumpland does putting troops on the ground in Iran make sense.
