The man is in a complete fog, which means the rest of us are, too.

I have no idea what comes next or even who to look to for meaningful insight into what they do next

Trump did not announce a U.S. policy then walk it back. That is not what happened, and media presenting it that way does a disservice.

Trump said words he thought might appeal to his audience in the moment, with no connection to actual policy, then did that again with a different question/asker.

This is nonsense.

In 1976, studies showed that less than 40% of jobs in America paid enough to support a family of four on their own.

Reporter: You just suggested that Iran somehow got its hands on a tomahawk and bombed its own elementary school on the first day of the war. But you're the only person in your government saying this. Why?

Trump: Because I just don't know enough about it.

This level of incoherence about things that matter would generate a call for removal in every other major institution in the Western world other than the American Presidency.

Has anyone told Trump who the new Supreme Leader of Iran is, or are they all afraid to?

you have to listen to everything he says but also ignore everything he says which is very difficult

A reminder that humans in cars - notably omitted from this thanks to motonormativity - kill 1.2m people every year

I’m briefly in India. This is a facile observation, but Americans have barely scratched the surface in understanding how the rest of the world is reacting to this war. It’s already an Iraq War-style disaster in the global imagination, underscored by the thuggishness and caprice of the Trump approach

The WSJ calls it “the most severe energy crisis since the 1970s.” ⛽️

Corpus Christi careens toward water catastrophe City officials expect to reach a “water emergency” within months and run out of water next year. That would halt jet fuel deliveries to Texas airports, hike gas prices and trigger a local economic dis...

Texas will have to spend billions “to prevent a total evacuation of the city” if water supplies are depleted in #CorpusChristi this fall

What, pray tell, is the "good part" of war?

Tarrio is, quite literally, a pardoned terrorist.

People who love war are sociopaths.

Well I’m confused

Chris Murphy: "I think it's likely the United States that carried out this attack on this school. I think it's unforgivable under any circumstances, but the fact this was one of our first targeting decisions speaks to the incompetence of our leadership at the Dept of Defense."

“.. A woman who claims she was abused as a minor by both Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump has given the FBI vivid accounts that include aspects of her life corroborated by the The Post and Courier through public records.”

Housing is so expensive that people earning $200,000 qualify for help Data shared with The Post shows that home-buying assistance programs across the U.S. have been raising their income threshold requirements.

"The median U.S. home price now tops $405,000. The Urban Institute found that home sales prices have risen 80 percent since 2017, while wages have grown 38 percent." www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

We are the bad guys.

Americans voted for war crime proponents—open, unsubtle advocates for years, whose big criticism of the U.S. military and allies was insufficient war criming due to, uh, wokeness or something—telling themselves it would bring peace to the Middle East, and stick it to Middle Eastern war criminals.

It is absolutely insane that the US appears to have targeted desalination plants first – putting them onto the board. Iran seems to have already retaliated against one in Bahrain. This is one of the most obvious ways this could spiral.

Living in a Time of Lunatics and Monsters Let's be honest about the roots, costs and consequences of the Iran War

We are living in a time of absolute, utter madness...and too many people are unwilling to acknowledge it. My latest.

Time to discuss the realities of, "So You Want to Launch a Ground Invasion of Iran."

1. First, of course, you need ground connected to Iran. That means Iraq, Turkey, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Afghanistan or Pakistan.

Literal kleptocracy.

Long-delayed Jan. 6 plaque honoring police quietly erected overnight at Capitol The memorial honoring officers who defended the Capitol was required by law to be installed by March 2023.

No ceremony, just the hope of Republicans that no one will notice or remember what happened on January 6, 2021. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

This really should be on every front page in America.

The fucking President, an adjudicated rapist and Epstein BFF, almost certainly assaulted a 13 year old child
