The videos don't cause reputational damage. WHAT THEY DID is what damaged their reputation.
But I also think Trump doesn't care; in one way he's on his revenge tour against a nation that spurned him in 2020, and in another way he's on his way out and is pleased to leave a trail of wreckage behind.
Bandsintown isn't the best for ANYTHING. Someone who cares about music and has a little seed money could wipe them out by creating a better platform, and they've set the bar REALLY low.
“We’re not starting a war, we’re ending one” was a Russian talking point on Ukraine — four years ago.
Way better than the Giants' rice-a-roni-in-a-cable-car offering.

The bottom line is Trump sacrificed 8 American lives (& counting) and more than 1,000 Iranian lives (& counting) for nothing. He hurt the US & global economies, destabilized the Middle East, & will pull out with the same Iranian regime in power. There's no silver lining.
A senseless, criminal waste
Here's a question for you, Jake Tapper: Is your abandonment of your journalistic ethics a failure to support American democracy?
(Hint: The answer is yes.)
The Department of Justice has sued 30 states and DC for access to their unreacted sensitive voter data. My law firm is fighting them in all 30 cases.
We are dedicating so many resources because these are the most important legal fights and the future of free and fair elections is at stake.
I’m ashamed that I’m a citizen of the USA. We’ve just become murdering terrorists. No ethics, no morals and being run with the most incompetent government in history. Can we stop this nightmare, please!!

Our database paints a detailed financial picture for President Donald Trump and hundreds of his political appointees, some of whom have ties to the industries they regulate.
The disclosures include their recent employers, assets and debts.
This.
And remember: Unprecedented actions require unprecedented responses.
If you care about free and fair election this November, this is the most important story of the day. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Other things we would trade for Paxton abandoning his Senate campaign:
— Resignation of Trump
— Prosecution of Bondi
— Neutering of Miller
— Ivermectin injection for RFK
— Waterboarding Hegseth
— Build a wall around Mar-A-Lago
How bout it, Ken? Lots of win-win options here.
So his best bargaining chip is Canceling Himself. That sounds about right.
So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.
That's roughly $1 billion per day.
$41,666,667 per hour.
$11,574 per second.
People do not want this.
They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.
If anyone wants a full can of Rainier it’s at the corner of 26th Ave NE and NE 55th St.
Pete Hegseth is not "a former member of the press at Fox," as MS NOW just said.
Fox News is not journalism. It's anti-journalism. It makes people less informed than they were before.
Hegseth is a former fascist propagandist who has moved on to become a war criminal.
I wrote about Americana singer-songwriter #SaraPetite for my latest "Five Questions" piece on the Times of San Diego website. She's playing the Belly Up in Solana Beach on Sunday, opening for #SteepCanyonRangers.

For years on my old blog I published the names of servicemembers who died in Iraq & Afghanistan. No other outlets were.
These are the first 4 Americans to die in the Iran War.
Capt. Cody A. Khork, 35
Sgt. 1st Class Noah L. Tietjens, 42
Sgt. 1st Class Nicole M. Amor, 39
Sgt. Declan J. Coady, 20
Hey Marco: The leadership of THIS country does not reflect the people of the United States. I think that’s been pretty apparent in the protests you’ve seen.

The government illegally took your money.
They won’t give it back.
Every ICE officer who has broken the law should be arrested, tried, and imprisoned for their crimes.

It was a sweeter tune and there was so much room that people could come from everywhere

I'm begging my fellow politicians, Illinoisans, and Americans to realize that right now, we aren't fighting over policy or political party.
We're fighting over whether we're going to be a country rooted in empathy and kindness — or one rooted in cruelty and rage.
