Raskin is HEATED at Noem

I’ve spent years, decades, obsessing over the Bush Administration’s Iraq WMD lies, writing about them, debunking them.

I can think of no lie about Iraq WMDs told by Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld et al that comes even close to the enormity and absurdity of this lie from Donald Trump.

Yes!

What happens when the U.S. starts a war—and the biggest economic pain lands somewhere else? Financial markets are a real-time forecasting machine: billions of dollars placed on bets about the… Trump, Markets, And “TACO”: Why The Usual Warning Signal May Fail In Iran, Warns Justin Wolfers

Here's what worries me. The U.S. is less oil-dependent than our peers, and so Wall Street has responded far less to the war in Iran than financial markets abroad. When the country calling the shots feels only a small share of the pain, that's a dangerous asymmetry.

China no longer buys US exports: Drawing the right lessons for the next Trump-Xi deal China essentially stopped buying US exports in April 2025. President Donald Trump had started his second term by launching a new trade war that he headlined with steep new tariffs on China. When China...

Without Trump’s trade wars since 2017, US exports to China would have been nearly 60 percent higher in 2025, or roughly $90 billion annually.

America Second, Israel First? It was bad enough that Donald Trump hasn’t been able to explain clearly why he yet again felt he had to attack Iran, and why now. His national security advisor and secretary of state, Marco Rubio, the...

KLUTH: ".. In this narrative, .. Netanyahu was the one making the primary decisions about war and peace, life and death, while Trump and the American superpower had at best limited agency. Not a good look."

I haven't said anything about this before, bc in the grand scheme of horrors this only rates as an inconvenience, but since others are experiencing it:

Just three days after CBP arrested me for filming them outside Broadview on 9/27, my TSA Pre & Global Entry were suspended—and so were my wife's.

Exactly. Give it a week.

Listen to this guy...something is seriously wrong that they're not telling us.

The real reason conservatives feel they must censor themselves on campus is because they say sh*t like this.

Russia Is Big Winner as Iran War Drains Supplies That Ukraine Needs The conflict is draining supplies Ukraine needs for its defense, while surging oil prices are boosting the Russian economy.

Russia is one of the biggest winners early in the largest U.S. military confrontation in decades, as Iranian missiles deplete stocks of Patriot interceptors that Ukraine needs.

Dana Perino bragged about the Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner pretending they were negotiating with Iran while the Pentagon planned an attack. Witkoff is part of the Ukraine/Russia negotiations .Kushner is part of the plan to rebuild Gaza. Who would trust them after this?

Reminder that the US military budget is larger than the military spending of the next nine largest countries combined.

Over half goes to private defense contractors.

This is the military-industrial complex Eisenhower warned of — on steroids.

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."

Sen. Murphy: They told us in there that this is an open-ended operation that hasn't even really started... they refuse to take off of the table the insertion of ground troops ... there is no question that this is war. #TrumpsWarOnOurEconomy

Grok being wrong: The Onion does have (hilarious) print editions, but this specific "Sam Altman" piece isn't from them—or any real outlet. It's a custom meme image made to look like one, floating around since at least February. Spot on for the satire though!

Wrong again, dumbass

Wow: It appears Sen. Steve Daines (R-MT) will not run for reelection.

This comes just days after Rep. Ryan Zinke (R-MT) also announced he will not seek reelection.

Zelensky announced that the U.S. requested Ukrainian support in the interception of Iranian drones. He agreed, as long as any support provided will not be to the expense of Ukraine’s own war effort. Turns out that while Ukraine shoots down ~200 Shaheds every single night, we're not very good at it.
