Tulsi Gabbard tweet from 2019: Trump says he doesn't want war with Iran, but that's exactly what he wants, because that's exactly what Saudi Arabia, Netanyahu, al-Qaeda, Bolton, Haley, and other NeoCons/NeoLibs want. That’s what he put first--not America.

Our current Director of National Intelligence:

Just to be crystal clear: bombing Iran is completely illegal.

Trump’s Two-Week Window for Diplomacy Was a Smoke Screen Even as the president suggested that he was open to negotiations, he had already made up his mind.

New: Trump’s two-week window was a smokescreen. He had already decided to attack Iran when he said he was open to negotiating. Our report on tonight’s historic U.S. strikes. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

This guy in Missouri saw the strike package as it headed out of Whiteman AFB and tweeted it 24 hrs ago

It’s okay. He had it right in the Signal chat.

I can’t believe Chauvin wants this. He worked out a deal with the feds that allows him to serve his state sentence concurrently with his federal sentence in a federal prison. Trump can only pardon him for the federal offenses. As a result, a federal pardon …

Al Green stood up when no one else would. While Trump lied and plotted cuts to Social Security and Medicaid, Green called him out—and got dragged out of Congress. Now, even some Democrats are punishing him for “decorum.”

History will remember who fought—and who stayed silent.

Social Security now requires Maine parents to visit an agency office to register newborns The change — immediately criticized by pediatric health advocates — eliminates a program that allowed parents to fill out a form at the hospital to secure a Social Security number for their children.

Someone needs to explain to our Sec of Commerce how capitalism works.

America has a GLOBAL TRADE SURPLUS on services. Services have the highest margins and profits of our exports. That is where capital and expertise focused.

It is why we dominate in tech globally.

“The psychological profile of a frequent ketamine user, Morgan and her team concluded, was someone who had ‘profound’ impairments in short- and long-term memory and was ‘distinctly dissociated in their day-to-day existence.’”

How Trump’s ‘51st State’ Canada Talk Came to Be Seen as Deadly Serious (Gift Article) President Trump, in an early February call, challenged the border treaty between the two countries and told Justin Trudeau he didn’t like their shared water agreements.

TLDR: The 51st state talk is not a joke. It is a consistent delivery of threats to Canadian sovereignty at the highest levels of government.

Yep, it’s hard to disagree with this.

It's just enormously important to understand that the goal of this tariff policy isn't to raise money or to increase manufacturing in the United States. The goal is to make some of the nation's largest companies subject to Trump's personal discretion and dependent on his favor.

Some DOGE Staffers Are Drawing Six-Figure Government Salaries Engineers and executives at the so-called Department of Government Efficiency are drawing healthy taxpayer-funded salaries—sometimes from the very agencies they are cutting.

when Elon Musk started recruiting for DOGE last November, he said the work would be “tedious” and “compensation is zero"

now it turns out some DOGE operatives are earning six-figure salaries, one as high as $195,200, as much as a civil servant can legally make
