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.

Screenshot of an X post by Acyn quoting CNN: β€œWe’re told that Pentagon briefers did make a stark acknowledgment, and that was that there was no indication that Iran was preparing to preemptively strike U.S. bases.” Below is a CNN split-screen segment showing a female anchor on the left and a male correspondent on the right. A red β€œBREAKING NEWS” banner reads: β€œSOURCES: BRIEFERS TO CONGRESS UNDERCUT WHITE HOUSE CLAIM OF IMMINENT IRANIAN THREAT.”

Just like Venezuela does not send fentanyl to the U.S. and Iraq did not have weapons of mass destruction. It’s all been false flags to justify military aggression and war.

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.

We mustn’t let this war do so.

These are the words and actions our next leader needs to live by. We can’t keep putting people in office who either don’t care or know how to lead. The entire government is lost.

Democratic leaders think they are minority party of governing coalition, rather than opposition party to authoritarian regime.

In any other administration, this would be a HUGE story! But in this regime, it gets lost with the daily onslaught of corruption.

I just want to live in a country where the leader can’t enrich themselves with our tax dollars, the government does what the people want, and the wealthy have to follow the laws.

You know, like a democracy.

Newsom: He’s a weak president β€” and that weakness is now on display globally. The only card he had left was these tariffs.

His entire economic policy has been mass deportations β€” and that’s beginning to unravel. His broader economic policies have obviously been aided and embedded in these tariffs

The drunk uncle theory.

You don’t argue with the casually homophobic uncle at Thanksgiving dinner to change his mind; you argue so that the closeted cousin at the kids table knows there’s safe people and better possibilities out there

Ossoff: "Among today's false prophets are the election deniers who indulge this president's obsession with overturning the 2020 election. Hear me when I say this -- they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission."
