Before anyone starts blaming Democrats without bothering to read, this was in September 2007 during the GW Bush administration. Villafana's boss was Alexander Acosta, US Attorney for the Southern District of Florida—appointed by GW Bush.

And the price of gas affects the price of everything since everything has to transported to where the consumers are!

How many of those civilizations survived?

People really struggling with the idea that the Iranian government sucks but we shouldn't be bombing them can both be true, eh?

“Massive” war launched by a man with no plan. Again. Donald Trump is repeating George W. Bush's catastrophic mistakes.

“Trump, who initiated this attack with Israel without seeking congressional authorization (as the Constitution requires), clearly engaged in little, if any, preparation for what comes following this “massive” operation, as he termed it.”

Khanna: I think that there was some sexism in the way Secretary Clinton was treated. She was treated worse than President Clinton was treated.

When you think about it for more than 5 seconds, it really is both insane and outrageous that *HILLARY CLINTON* - a woman who apparently has never met with nor corresponded with Jeffrey Epstein was one of the first people deposed.

Road kill is very cheap

Frost: I saw about an hour ago that Donald Trump said Howard Lutnick is a "very innocent guy." Donald Trump has asserted many times that he knew nothing of Epstein's crimes. If he doesn’t know anything about Epstein’s crimes, how would he know Lutnick is an innocent guy?

CNN will soon be controlled by David Ellison. If democracy is to survive, a vibrant independent media ecosystem is critical.

My ask: cancel your Paramount/Warner subscriptions and sign up for as many pro-democracy outlets as you are able.

Looks like Trump WILL wag the dog... watching this slowly unfolding is even more infuriating than watching Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld dragging US into the last Middle East quagmire..

US accused of ‘shameless exploitation’ over proposed Zambian health aid deal Leaked draft of $1bn memorandum of understanding reveals mandatory targets, sharing of data, and reported access to mining concessions

Rather than accept an absurd US “deal” pushing unfettered access to sensitive health data with no guarantees for Zambia, Zam chose sovereignty & public health dignity for its citizens.

Colonialism is dead & Zambia is ensuring it stays 💀!
Good on Zambia for standing strong for its ppl and future!🇿🇲 ✊

Border Patrol released Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a 56 yo man, nearly blind with serious medical conditions, at "an old address & his family had since moved" in Buffalo, NY in the winter. "His family was not initially notified." He was found dead. @news4buffalo.bsky.social

Anyone paying attention.

One of the most disturbing things to me has been realizing how little voters actually pay attention to what is happening and what politicians are saying and doing.

Blumenthal: Republicans don’t want to acknowledge what’s actually happening — or why it’s happening. And for Americans who wonder why, the answer was provided by this whistleblower:

ICE agents are trained to break the law. It’s no accident or aberration…

“The Petitioner requested that the Court adopt this language barring re-arrest and detention, and the Respondents contended that it was over-broad and could prevent arrest or detention when legally supported. Because the Respondents continue to arrest and detain people in this district under the same circumstances and based on the same legal justifications that all four district judges to address the matter have found to be illegal and unconstitutional, the Court finds it necessary to use broader language that is not subject to interpretation. The Court concurs with the Petitioners that the language this Court has used in previous orders, barring detention absent a substantial change in circumstances, provides inadequate protection due to the Respondents’ lack of respect for the law.” —Footnote 1.

The President boasts of "no tax on tips", but this expires in 2028.
He boasts of "no tax on overtime," but it is taxed, and the break expires in 2028.
He boasts of "no tax on social security," but it is taxed, and his break expires in 2028.

He also passed tax cuts for the rich. They're permanent.

In tonight's speech, the president did what he does best: celebrate himself. But if anyone was looking for leadership focused on easing their current economic pain, he made clear that they'll need to look elsewhere.

Speak Truth..

How is that different from all retailers?

it's fascinating to watch Costco lap every one of these clowns because they have the only CEO in America who still thinks his job is to run a company that does business and not be the main character of life forging his personal legacy with one eye on the group chat to see if they're impressed yet

This administration has managed to do many big things at once. The problem is they're all harmful.

The next time our party earns the chance to lead, we have to be prepared to aim big and do many things at once - things that will actually help improve life in America.

It will be tough for America’s global reputation to recover after this absolutely shameful vote.

He never fails at selling himself. That is his biggest talent. That and an utter lack of shame.
