The guy who voices Master Chief from the video game "Halo," who was featured in a White House meme video showing missiles blowing people up in Iran, calls it "disgusting and juvenile war porn" wapo.st/3NhffGm

If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected β€” young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! β€” and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.

Just a reminder that Muslims have been on this continent since the first arrival of non-Indigenous people. They were among the first generation of Americans, and have been here ever since.

NBC’s Richard Engel: β€œThe White House meme campaign is outraging many former US military commanders… they say only someone who has never really seen combat would think it’s a joke and put out material like this.”

Gas price fluctuations are rarely the fault of the president. THIS fluctuation is 100% because of the president (and more generally Republicans)

You will not convince me that this is not a plan to terrorize Americans.

The regime wants terrorism on US soil to cancel the election.

Chris Murphy: "I think it's likely the United States that carried out this attack on this school. I think it's unforgivable under any circumstances, but the fact this was one of our first targeting decisions speaks to the incompetence of our leadership at the Dept of Defense."

There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.

Trump blocks FBI terror threat alert linked to Iran war Top Trump officials ordered it placed on hold over concerns that it could show the domestic risk of the war and further erode public support.

Sounds like the regime is trying to solicit an attack on US soil…

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

Costco CEO says any tariff refunds it gets will flow back to members through 'lower prices and better values' Costco challenges the US government over IEEPA tariffs, with CEO Ron Vachris pledging to pass refund benefits to members.

Costco is now demanding that Trump pay them back for his tariffs so they can refund all of their customers.

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.

But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

RASKIN: Is it lawful for federal agents to shoot and kill a person for engaging in peaceful protest?

NOEM: No

RASKIN: Is it lawful for agents to shoot someone just for driving away from them?

NOEM: No


RASKIN: Well, I'm glad you got the law right
