Talarico: "There's another war in the Middle East. There's a cost of living crisis. There's a secret pedophile ring & no one has been prosecuted. So the people responsible are trying to distract us with the same old culture wars ... what do the American people care more about -- pronouns or prices?"

KC135 is configured for refueling, not jumpers. Refueling typically at 30K feet. Jumping from that altitude requires specialized training, pre-oxygenating for an hour prior to jump, and special jump suits to prevent freezing to death. And no regular jump egress. Parachutes would not have helped 😞

I’m not defending anything about them, but it you can’t cross budget lines. Not spending all your allocated funding in government is usually due to poor management, government shutdowns, and other chaos that starts and stops funding and programs.

Because congress authorizes spending, annual government spending is assigned to specific buckets by law. You can’t pull money out one budget and send it to another. So that much is true, but that doesn’t mean they did the right thing.

It’s unfathomable that Americans can believe Iran will offer an unconditional surrender. Ever. Would Americans be willing to surrender to a generational enemy bombing our homeland that murdered 185 schoolgirls on the first day? They won’t ever surrender.

As soon as I saw multiple headlines touting the “dignified” transfer, I knew it wasn’t.

We’ve basically replaced lewandowski with markwayne.
Markwayne is much dumber than Lewandowski (I know😒), but it remains to be seen which tenure will be more cruel, corrupt, lawless, and incompetent.

Texas GOP hate Dallas voters. Paxton has their full support on these types of actions when they’re directed at Dallas or Houston. It’s why MAGA loves Paxton.

Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks.

They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors.

Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption.

Watch how they vote this week.

A White House Staffer Appears to Run Massive Pro-Trump X Account A popular right-wing account that called a video depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as apes "a masterpiece" appears to be run by a White House staffer, according to records reviewed by WIRED.

Throughout the Trump admin, American taxpayers are paying the salaries and federal benefits of right-wing social media trolls who spend all day attacking Democrats online on our dime. www.wired.com/story/a-whit...

It seems like nonsense, but here’s the code: anytime anyone in this administration uses the words “American people, we, us, America,” they LITERALLY mean themselves. Their families, friends, and inner circle of billionaire financiers.
