The only Dems “in a bind” about funding this war are ones beholden to AIPAC like Moskowitz — why is @cnn.com centering them in their chyron?

Cutting off💰for a bad war isn’t abandoning the troops, it’s supporting them. Stop using missile makers’ lines

Dems overwhelmingly oppose this

Perhaps this could spur teams to abandon Elon's flailing fascist funhouse. Just a thought. #TeslaTakedown

Trump: Many important meetings and phone calls taking place today while I am at Trump National Doral, in Miami. Additionally, I will be going to Speaker Mike Johnson's (who is doing a fantastic job!) fundraising event, at 4 P.M., and then, prior to leaving for D.C., I will hold a News Conference from a Doral Ballroom at approximately 5:30 P.M.

This week's "On the Record" dissecting the growing fears around private credit with Blackrock lockouts in the headlines. More fuckery from Trump officials, KLTW from House of El. Headlines from @propublica.org, @dissentmag.bsky.social and @grist.org. And war predictions as seen by the oil markets.

Republicans call on Hegseth to stop stalling on the “investigation” of the bombing of the girls school in Iran.

The fact that some low information underperforming individuals fail to recognize the value of international law does not diminish its importance to the vast majority of the global community.

Gullible, Cynical America The trouble with believing anything and nothing at the same time

The data economy has made us dumber in ways that also make us vulnerable to authoritarian takover. We are have become both cynical and gullible in the sense we think we are too jaded be fooled and as a result are tricked more easily www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Really, @washingtonpost.com ?

NBC’s Richard Engel: “The White House meme campaign is outraging many former US military commanders… they say only someone who has never really seen combat would think it’s a joke and put out material like this.”

Noem associate Madison Sheahan bought 2,500 marked vehicles for ICE Despite ICE employees seeking to keep a low profile in public, ICE official Madison Sheahan placed a bulk order for marked vehicles.

"Despite the growing number of ways ICE employees have sought to protect their identities, ICE’s former deputy director, Madison Sheahan, placed a bulk order for vehicles clearly marked with ICE’s logo."

If Trump has "totally crippled" Iran's military, why can't tankers move through the Straight of Hormuz?

Lindsey now condemns Saudi Arabia.

Lawrence Jones: "I understand Democrats have their own political spin, but I think they should be careful about some of their talking points. They're talking about oil prices and that 'the president can't last.' That is exactly what Iran wants. Part of their strategy is the propaganda machine."

a chocolate lab snuggles with a person on a sofa, laying on their lap with one front arm tucked around their legs. his face looks up at the person with enormous eyes, dilated with little rings of golden brown. his ears are back, and the result is one of the most effective begging faces we’ve ever seen.

Moose rests on a brown sofa, his chin tucked on a rawhide bone and the flap of one lip squished up by the couch cushion. he has one front paw extended out, and the other tucked into his body like a little chicken wing. he’s looking up a bit, showing a little sliver of the whites of his already-enormous eyes, making them look even bigger under his cutely furrowed eyebrows.

the big-eyed brown pup as a puppy. he’s sitting in a white bathtub, slightly damp. he’s mostly in shadow, but his eyes are like two glowing orbs in the center of his face, almost human in their coloring and shape.

This is Moose. He has very big eyes. They are the result of a rare and painless ocular condition. Doesn't seem to mind it. Makes his puppy dog face even more powerful. 13/10 (credit u/aGooseyMoose)

(We know his Disney princess eyes look fake, but we can confirm these photos are not AI generated)

It reminds me of the line in John Fogerty’s Fortunate Son: “And when you ask them, ‘how much should we give?’ They only answer, ‘more, more, more.’”

The Pentagon is swimming in cash after the last GOP budget. They can’t even pass an audit for their spending. The bill was loaded up with so many earmarks the Pentagon doesn’t even know how to spend it all. But now Trump wants more. No amount of military spending for the war machine is enough.

the Trump administration's affordability message could use some work

(the woman speaking here is State Department official Monica Crowley)

this is frankly one of the most bonkers 60 seconds in Fox & Friends history -- Lawrence Jones chastising Democrats for hurting Trump by commenting on realty immediately followed by Brian Kilmeade admonishing tanker captains to "show some guts and go through that Strait." Incredible stuff.

In 2024, a group of state AGs joined the DOJ to sue Live Nation for monopolizing the market for ticketing and using that power to reinforce and protect that monopoly. The recent settlement doesn’t do enough. We’re willing and able to stand with other states to continue litigating without the fed gov

Today......yes, he's playing golf whilst Americans die 🙄

Trump's DOJ just gave a slap-on-the-wrist settlement to LiveNation/Ticketmaster.

The deal doesn't break up the ticket monopoly, and comes after its lobbyists boasted about getting the DOJ's antitrust chief fired last month.

Trump's promise to fix a rigged economic system was always baloney.

🤣👍

A fair summary 👇

Greg Bovino Emerges as Trump’s Man For Conjuring Up a Blue-City Insurrection Elected officials, activists, and at least one former high-ranking Department of Homeland...

TPM's coverage has anticipated some of the biggest stories of the second Trump administration.

@joshkovensky.bsky.social predicted the occupation of blue cities, and was early to highlight Greg Bovino as the posterchild for Trump's immigration crackdown.

So Iran has attacked all of our military bases in the gulf and only seven US soldiers have died so far? I call bullshit.
