“Who knows in which direction Trump’s narcissism and megalomania will push him? For now, what we do know is that one man has taken us to war. We know his party has voted to give him a blank check to continue it.”

CBS obtained video of the DHS killing of an unarmed man in Texas that DHS concealed for nearly a year, which clearly contradicts claims that he violently rammed anyone. He is shot with his brake lights on, car not moving or barely moving. Another DHS crime.

This is why you don’t cheer war like it’s a game.

Alex Pretti and Renée Good were murdered by federal agents. Soon after, Secretary Noem labeled them 'domestic terrorists.’

I gave her the chance to recant and apologize for the pain she's caused their families with these outrageous lies. She refused.

"Anyone who claims to know where this war will go, including Trump, is bluffing. Among the possible outcomes, however, peaceful transfer of power is one of the least likely. Iran’s regime has recently murdered thousands, perhaps tens of thousands, of its own people. ...

Russia fired over 19,000 strike drones, 738 missiles, and 14,670 guided bombs against Ukraine over three winter months, Zelensky said, adding that in the last week of winter alone Russia used 1,720 drones, 1,300 guided bombs, and 100 missiles. #Ukraine

"Until circumstances compel the other branches of government to adjust their posture...the executive branch is unlikely to see itself as legally constrained from participating in Israel’s military campaign against Iran, if Trump ultimately opts to do so."

If President Trump tries to take control of the midterm elections by executive order, he'll be defying the Constitution in an attempt to trample the authority of Congress and the states and the rights of voters. The time to draw a line is now, says @walterolson.bsky.social.

Gov. Abigail Spanberger: "The scale of the corruption is unprecedented. There's the cover up of the Epstein files, the crypto scams, cozying up to foreign princes for airplanes and billionaires for ballrooms, putting his name and face on buildings all over our nation's capital."

The woman who directly named Trump in her abuse allegation claimed that around 1983, when she was around 13 years old, Epstein introduced her to Trump "who subsequently forced her head down to his exposed penis which she subsequently bit. In response, Trump punched her in the head and kicked her out."

The US Justice Department withheld Epstein files that contained information about Donald Trump attempting to rape 13 year old child. #OpDeathEaters #EpsteinCoverup #EpsteinFiles

Trump is mentioned in the Epstein files more times than Jesus Christ is mentioned in the bible.

A former ICE agent is blowing the whistle: Academy training is "deficient & broken." He claims he was ordered to teach cadets to bypass the Constitution & enter homes without warrants. ICE reportedly cut 240 hours of legal, firearms, and use-of-force training.

Interesting is an understatement! That said, I treasure your kitty and cooking and art posts as much if not more. I am here for the light that you bring to such dark times.

Playing the percentages, I would say that they were lying then, lying now, and lying every moment of every day between then and now.

And they'll lie every moment of every day about everything until Congress does its job and stops them.

Opinion | What Exactly Is a ‘Concentration Camp’?

"Always, always, always concentration camps are an end run around the existing legal system. These people that are getting rounded up because whoever’s in power wants to do something that they can’t do using the letter of the law..."

"Here's a very simple rule of thumb: If you're going to institute a policy that's going to upend your own economy, the global economy, foreign relations and change our position in the world... It's probably best to check that it's constitutional first. "

Lemme blow your mind...

While the U.S. has a trade DEFICIT in dollars, we also have a trade SURPLUS in stuff.

They're the same thing: We buy more stuff from abroad than we sell, so more money leaves than comes in, but more stuff comes in, than leaves.

So is this a deficit, or a surplus?

Quick reax to SCOTUS ruling Trump's tariffs illegal.

"If you remember Sex and the City... Carrie got together with Big, they broke up... what happens in the next season, they just go right back to the whole thing." And that's sort of what I'm expecting from season two of Trump-and-the-Tariffs. Same writers room + limited imagination = same story.

Interviewer: "When you look at today's numbers, what do they tell us about the effectiveness of Donald Trump's tariffs."

Me, very serious economist: "Hahahahahahahahahahaha.... hahahahahahahaha.... hahahahahahahahahaha... oh, wow."

Sometimes all you can do is laugh at the absurdity of it all.
