Karoline Leavitt told us the US State Department was helping Americans stranded in the Middle East.

She lied.

One Texas woman in Dubai called the State Department hotline, was scolded for being scared and then hung up on.

This administration is *full* of incompetent, rude people.

Screenshot of an X post by Senator Tom Cotton saying Iran has been an imminent threat to the United States for 47 years and that the president was right to act. Below is a Fox News segment with Cotton speaking while footage labeled “U.S. Central Command – Unclassified” shows a strike.

“Imminent.” You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

This is why red states have higher voter apathy. Always shenanigans.

I feel bad for these folks just trying to exercise their constitutional right to vote and having to deal with this mess.

Moulton: He ought to think about the war that he didn't go to. That he allowed another American to go to in his place when he dodged the draft, making up some excuse about a sore foot so that he didn't go have to go serve in Vietnam. There is an example of a war where we sought regime change

We are losing stars one streetlight, one neon sign, one suburb at a time For most of human history, the night sky has been a shared inheritance, a source of wonder. Now, more than a billion children see barely any stars in the night sky above their homes. So what does that...

14 measles cases reported at El Paso ICE tent camp The latest outbreak comes after a spate of COVID-19 and tuberculosis cases were reported at Camp East Montana, which holds more than 3,000 immigrants.

New: At least 14 active measles cases have been reported at a troubled El Paso tent camp holding more than 3,000 immigrants, Democratic U.S. Rep. Veronica Escobar said Tuesday.

Another 112 people in the facility are being isolated.

Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks.

They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors.

Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption.

Watch how they vote this week.

wow -- Tillis goes ballistic on Noem, telling her "what we've seen is a disaster under your leadership"

How come “How are you going to pay for it?” is never asked about endless war?

Rep Jason Crow (D-CO): “I went to war three times for this country and learned that when elites in Washington bang the war drums, working class folks pay the price. The tough talk of a five-time draft dodger falls flat for Americans tired of military adventurism”

This is murder. ICE routinely deposits released detainees far from their home just to be cruel. It’s standard practice. To do this to a blind man on a wet cold winter day in Buffalo is to know you are potentially sending him to his death.

911 calls capture kids burning with fever, struggling to breathe at ICE detention center EMS crews were called to the Dilley Immigration Processing Center in Texas at least 11 times since September for children in medical distress, records show.

Rep. Garcia: “This committee has now set a new precedent about talking to presidents and former presidents, and we’re demanding immediately that we ask President Trump to testify…He is the person who appears almost more than anyone else [in the files].”

Live Nation paid ZERO federal income tax last year largely due to Trump's tax cuts, despite reporting $145M in profits.

It's also on the verge of scoring a sweetheart deal from Trump's DOJ to end a major antitrust investigation.

Trump works on behalf of the most powerful corporations.
