Himes: "I think it's really important this video by made public ... it's important people see what it looks like when the full force of the US military is turned on two guys who are clinging to a piece of wood and about to go under just so they have a visceral feel for what it is we're doing"

Duckworth: "It is a war crime. It's illegal. No matter how you put it, it's all illegal. I've been shot down behind enemy lines. Under the laws of war, you are supposed to help render aid to that individual ... you're not allowed to go back in and kill them."

States: CDL restrictions to cripple supply lines, raise costs The Trump administration’s crackdown on non-domiciled CDLs was carried out with no evidence safety was at risk, according to states.

I guess putting a reality television personality to run the Dept of Transportation wasn't the best idea.

Some more self inflicted damage to the economy.

We are underreacting to this‼️

We have no explanation on SCOTUS decisions affecting our lives.

The emergency docket, aka β€œshadow docket,” is the quiet backdoor of the Supreme Court. Decisions drop fast, with little explanation, and Trump is hammering it harder than anyone in modern history.

When you realize the goal has been to re-establish a society with *absolute* white male supremacy at the expense of EVERYTHING and EVERYONE ELSE (economy, education, healthcare, voting, prices, etc.) - and put billionaires in charge - you understand the goal of #Project2025 and why we're here now.

While inflation has ticked up in the ei...

If you think prices are too high now, just wait until Trump lets the USMCA expire. Goods from Canada & Mexico will skyrocket.
Trump doesn’t understand anything at all, yet the GOP just look the other way whilst we all suffer.
Fire the GOP.

I can't stop thinking about the purported drug smugglers being murdered by the US military. The punishment for drug offenses isn't the death penalty. This is just bloodlust and men in suits playing with lives they don't care about. It's truly grotesque and gravely compromises this country.

Belgium Sets Conditions for Using Frozen Russian Assets toΒ Fund Ukraine Aid Belgium sets three essential conditions for EU support of Ukraine's reparations loan from frozen Russian assets, emphasizing shared financial responsibility.

Belgium's PM says his country backs Ukraine, but also declares Russia is going to beat Ukraine - and he tries to help Russia undermine Ukraine by sheltering Russia's assets.
What nauseating betrayal.
