Sgt La David Johnson: soldier at the center of dispute over Trump remarks The 25-year-old South Florida native who was killed in Niger has been put in the spotlight after Trump reportedly made insensitive comments to his widow

Trump was raised in a family that disparaged military service. He thinks people “dumb” enough to serve have what’s coming to them. Remember what he told the widow of the soldier who was killed in Niger: “he knew what he signed up for”

Trump has become addicted to bombing, renditioning and sanctioning countries to bend them to our will. It’s all about him. It makes him feel powerful bc he knows he’s weak. It is bad policy even when the target is as vile and brutal as the ayatollahs.

In the meantime. Release the Epstein Files. Damn Trump and his Epstein War. Those people guilty of paedophilia = crimes against humanity and politicians who lie to protect are equally grotesque.

Obama set a red line in response to a question in a debate

Obama went to Congress - they didn't agree with that red line

So that wasn't walking away that was following the constitution

But Fox said it was a failure and no one else every challenged that with facts

There are 10 days until the special election to fill the seat vacated by Marjorie Taylor Greene.
20 Republicans are running.
One Democrat is running.
I’m that Democrat.
This is how we win. This seat will give the congress to the Democratic Party!
I’m Shawn Harris. I’m that Democrat.

So, about those Epstein files…?

Right now Trump is spending billions of dollars for massive military force against Iran... without a clear congressional mandate or broad public backing.

Meanwhile we're being told we “don’t have enough” for affordable care, living wages, or public services.

And I always thought our military was to be used to defend the United States 🇺🇸. Has something changed?
Military leaders? I don’t hear you speaking out about carrying out. unprovoked attacks . You are complicit.

About 20% of all LNG travels through the Strait of Hormuz. This is the energy source the NZ Govt wants to use instead of expanding renewables. A new LNG import terminal would be paid for by a new tax on our electricity bills (electricity which is mostly renewable). Nuts.

Can I ask why everyone still, in 2026, cares about gas prices as a consequence of bad policy?

We should be so far into the renewable energy transition that gas prices just shouldn’t really matter anymore.

They always have trillions of dollars for illegal wars in the Mideast, but SCOFF in your face and clutch their pearls when you ask for universal healthcare. You are all being played.

AYMAN: Can you tell me where Iran killed thousands of Americans in America?

ANNA PAULINA LUNA: I said they are responsible for thousands of Americans being killed

AYMAN: Where?

LUNA: Are you serious right now?

AYMAN: It seems like you don't want to have a good faith conversation

Outrage, fear, hope: Minnesotans share varied reactions to U.S. attack on Iran People gathered in Minneapolis Saturday for a demonstration led by the Minnesota Peace Action Coalition to protest U.S. and Israeli military strikes on Iran.

“We've seen our own community members gunned down," said Lina Jebara, an organizer with the U.S. Palestinian Community Network. “To say that we have to bomb Iran because they're cracking down on protesters when our administration is doing the same thing is just incredibly hypocritical.”

Only a fraction of House seats are competitive. Redistricting is driving that lower Primary voters in a small number of districts play an outsized role in deciding who wins Congress. The Trump-initiated mid-decade redistricting is driving that number of competitive seats even lower.

I am not sure, maybe ICE is lying to congress, but they may only be lying to the democrats with the leaders in DOJ joining in the lie. I would never believe the propangda put out by trump, Noem or Hegseth. Not one word of any of them is trustworthy as far as I am concerned.

AI vs. the Pentagon two paths for tech

> Hegseth is making a spectacle of punishing Anthropic—just like ICE made a spectacle of videotaping each immigrant deportation, and just like the CCP made a spectacle of disappearing Jack Ma for criticizing Chinese regulators.

After the US Gov increased spending for ICE & Military, it was an open check for
(i) ICE to recklessly spend it on recruits who terrorize US residents & build internment camps;
(ii) Trump, Miller & Hegseth to use it to invade countries and start wars for Trump's buddies - pay 2 play

Imagine massive offshore wind turbines teaming up with wave-energy converters! The Coastal Virginia project is proving this combo can keep the lights on, even through challenges.

This makes me feel somewhat better. Midterm elections cannot be postponed by the president alone, even during wartime. Under the U.S. Constitution, only Congress has the authority to change federal election dates through new legislation.

Where are we? A president clearly in mental decline, a compliant Congress afraid to exercise there oversight responsibilities when the useful idiot starts a war. When I served, it never occurred to me that I would ever have to question an order.

Coming back just to say, in defense of my soon-to-be home, I don't love your characterization of Minneapolis as a "midsize Midwest" city. It reads kinda derogatory.

The Twin Cities are a powerhouse of resistance. Most cities wouldn't be able to replicate what they've done. Give them their flowers.

ICE was very active in Minneapolis today, they kidnapped multiple people. ICE didn't leave, the media has moved on but we are still under federal occupation.
