Americans are dead. Prices are skyrocketing. The Middle East is on fire. Civil war is brewing in Iran.

And for what? A war that will leave the same hardliners in charge? A war that can't actually destroy their nuclear program?

This is incompetence. Plain and simple.

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."

Five Republicans just voted with Democrats to subpoena AG Bondi over Epstein files.

She will now need to sit for a deposition under oath.

Trump is losing his grip on his party, over both Epstein and his deepening unpopularity.

Keep speaking up. It's working.

@robertgarcia.bsky.social on Trump's claims of exoneration: "That's a joke. Exonerated by who? No one's exonerated Donald Trump. He's in the Epstein files more than anyone. Mar-a-Lago is oftentimes where they trafficked girls."

Depends on what part of the Bible you're thinking of. King David checked out Bathsheba sunning on a deck, called her into his lair, slept with her, then sent her husband to the front lines to his certain death. Sounds very Paxtonish to me. Or Trumpy. Take your pick.

Am I Still a Friend of Medium or Is It a Sinking Ship? Friendship should work both ways

A long time Medium writer asks:

Am I Still a Friend of Medium or Is It a Sinking Ship?
"Friendship should work both ways"

This is a "friend" link, meaning no Medium paywall.

No AI was used for the cover art, for those who care about these things.
