The Bostroem

This period of war, chaos, and corruption won’t end until a sane alternative replaces the US government. Thus, we unfortunately have to get used to this situation for the foreseeable future and hope that the damage is reversible.

🇺🇦President Zelenskyy: Over the past week, Russia has attacked our country thousands of times – the enemy used nearly 1,750 attack drones, 1,530 guided aerial bombs, and 39 missiles against our people.

"Wow. A big drop" -- CNBC highlights that labor force participation is now the lowest it has been since in late 2021, before the covid vaccine was widely available

Very strong statement from the First Lady of Iraq:

Trump helps MAGA influencers flee Middle East war zone on private jet Trump adviser Alex Bruesewitz, dogwalker Sarah Daither, former lobbyist Jay Footlik, and others managed to escape on a private plane thanks to the White House.

Trump and DOGE budget cuts to Middle East State Department operations have caused difficulty for up to 1 mn Americans trying to evacuate the region.
But.
If you are a MAGA influencer and dog walker, DC will send a private jet for you.

@raskin.house.gov

AIPAC sure got their money’s worth from these 4 Dems today

The competition for the dumbest member of the United States Senate has just heated up with the elimination of one its strongest contestants!!

Kelly: "You could pick a random group of people off the street tonight here in DC and they could probably do a better job than our government is doing right now. They don't have a goal, there's no strategic plan. And what this is likely to lead to is, again, a long war with a lot of dead Americans."

Tillis to Noem: "A 14 month old dog is basically a teenager in dog years. You decided to kill that dog bc you hadn't invested the appropriate training, then you have the audacity to write a book & say it's a leadership lesson! ... Those are bad decisions not unlike what happened in Minneapolis"

NOEM: I would disagree with the judge

CROCKETT: I'm sure you would, but can you tell me whether or not you have a law degree?

NOEM: A what?

CROCKETT: A law degree

NOEM: No I do no-

CROCKETT: Okay

WATCH — @senpeterwelch walks through a no-bid $143,000,000 contract that went to @KristiNoem’s spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin’s husband’s company that had just been formed.

She should be impeached for this outrageous scandal alone.

Yet it’s barely a blip in this corrupt regime.

here's the full clip of Karoline Leavitt getting big mad when Kaitlan Collins presses her on Hegseth complaining about press coverage of US troop deaths

Statement from Jasmine Crockett.

after absolutely eviscerating Kristi Noem and calling for her resignation, Tillis is applauded. He thens threatens to hold up nominees if she doesn't stop stonewalling him. My God.

We need to pass a House rule or law that requires them to work a certain number of days to get paid. Since Mike Johnson took over these people hardly ever work. When they finally come back after weeks off they work 2 days and he sends them home for 2 more weeks. It’s ridiculous.

People who believe in an imminent Rapture/Armageddon don't have anything invested in what happens to you here on Earth. You are irrelevant to them and will be treated accordingly.

KLOBUCHAR: Alex Pretti's parents said what you said was one of the most hurtful things they could imagine. Do you want to say anything to Alex's parents?

NOEM: I did not call him a 'domestic terrorist.' I said it 'appeared to be an incident of'

KLOBUCHAR: I think the parents saw it for what it was

At Least Europe Cares About the Epstein Files At least eight countries in the EU have since launched nine investigations. Meanwhile, the U.S. launched a war on Iran.

1. Trump instantly stopped ALL US financial & military aid to Ukraine in January 2025.
2. Trump has had the US vote twice with Russia & a dozen other rogue states in the UN against condemning Russia's war in Ukraine.
3. Trump wants Ukraine to give up land to Russia.
Trump for RU.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.

Reminder that Congress has the power to stop this.

Q: "Do you think Trump should be deposed by this committee?"

HILLARY: "Absolutely. Trump has been held civilly liable for sexual assault by a jury of his peers. That is behavior that fits a pattern."

CNN's Kate Bolduan takes seriously the idea that Donald Trump has sincere concerns for Iranian protesters. Someone tell her about what he's been doing to American protesters in Minneapolis.

Trump has no plan. This is a damning summary from The Economist’s Middle East Correspondent Gregg Carlstrom.

Up to 88,000 people, mostly civilians, died in Mariupol in just three months in 2022, and Russia targets Ukrainian civilians every single night.

Sit this one out

BREAKING: A 4th U.S. service member has been killed in the military operation with Iran.

I want you all to remember that we had a way to stop iran from getting nuclear weapons. It was a nuclear agreement that the international community all agreed was working.
