If we can magically find $12B for an agriculture bailout caused because of made up tariffs, we can find funding for trains, libraries, & clean energy. Btw the annual budget of the EPA is $9B. The whole thing! About the same with the National Science Foundation. Cut bad stuff, triple good stuff.

Trump Giving Farmers $12 Billion to Blunt Trade War Fallout

Trump’s tariffs have become (and were likely always intended to be) two things:

1. A slush fund to reward the politically loyal, and

2. A tool for extortion (foreign and domestic)

The entire chain of command should be imprisoned for each of these murders. Not just these two. All 87.

Seriously, did *anyone* really believe them? ANYONE??

There is the MAGA base.

Right there.

Horrifying

This has to stop now.

Masked thugs. An innocent woman. She also happens to be a citizen.

RFK Jr: "Two weeks ago we ended, under your leadership, a twenty year war on women".

Three out of five men in this shot have been accused of sexual misconduct, harassment or abusive behaviour towards women. A fourth signed into law a near-total abortion ban in his state as governor.

Wow. How to demonstrate what an absolute soulless bootlicker and idiot you are.

Look around the table fool.

Noem, Bondi, Hegseth, Kennedy, yourself…

“Best and the Brightest”? No.

Collection of mindless toadies? Yes.

I may have a new crusade — or windmill to tilt at.

AI and other data centers should be charged for the incremental added cost (eg higher rates) to others for the water and energy the data centers use.

These massively expensive project should not be able to externalize their real costs.

That Rick Scott has held public office gives “Florida man” a whole range of new meanings, none flattering.

More Sabrina Carpenters in our world please.

Here's Secretary of War Pete Hegseth saying troops should disobey orders and calling for "consequences" for war crimes. He thinks Americans have an "ethos" to be better that our enemies.

Arrest this fool for sedition.

(BTW "No quarter" is a war crime)

Donating to Jewish Currents (or at least subscribing) is a great idea.

This is an accurate description of its importance.

“… more importantly their own careers…”

Sums up what is wrong and toxic about the GOP Congress.

Yet another racist rant by our racist in chief.

You are so human. And thank you for that.

““For the top two civilians in the Pentagon and the White House to effectively wash their hands of it and claim no responsibility… goes against any kind of ideas of responsible command,” said Carrie A. Lee, the former chair of the department of national security and strategy at the Army War College.

Well, the worst part is that 83 people were murdered.

In cold blood. By our military and Hegseth

And murdered for supposed crimes for which they were neither charged nor convicted — and for which, even after trial, there is no death penalty.

But sure. Besmirching the military is also bad.

The worst part about the boat strikes - regardless of who ordered what and besides the ultimate tragedy of lives lost - is they’re forever a stain on the professionalism and dignity of the United States military.

They’re an insult to every American who ever sacrificed to do the right thing.

What an ass.

Isn’t his job, in part, to follow the news?

"I chose a crass serial rapist and adulterer, who calls women 'nasty' and 'piggy,' and took away by daughters' reproductive rights, over my daughters. So why are they displeased with me??? It must be all THEIR fault! I take no responsibility. NONE!"

OMG.

Whatever you think of the FBI (and I think, in the end, they are largely OK) they deserve better leadership than this cos-playing clown Kas Patel
