The Justice Department has posted online three FBI interviews related to sexual assault allegations against Donald Trump that had been missing from the massive trove of Epstein files released by the Department of Justice.

I’m sure if Biden posted late one Sat night that he wanted the governor of Louisiana to rush a hospital ship to Greenland for a serious medical emergency in their populace at a time when we had no hospital ships available and there was no emergency the media would also ignore it.

So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.

That's roughly $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

People do not want this.

They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

Balint to Noem: "You're the secretary of DHS -- for now. And you think you're immune from accountability. But I promise you this: one day he is not gonna be president anymore. And when that day comes, we will still be here. And in hearings like this, we are going to continue to prove your guilt."

Hate to say it, but the Felon has been successful distracting from Epstein.

Even MSNOW is like 99% about Iran.

Not good.

Here's what R Rep. Brian Mast just said on CNN about Markwayne Mullin: "He's a close friend. We used to work out together. He can't do as many pull-ups as me, but..he's still a strong pick."

Boy, thank you, Brian...for that deep and incredibly thorough analysis. I think we can all feel better now.🙄

Of course, Trump has another "position" for Noem.
I think it was LBJ who said, "I'd rather have them on the inside of the tent, pissing out, than on the outside, pissing in. It's a form of control.

You couldn't make this shit up.

Every accusation is a confession. Every last one.

Republicans are masters of projection. Masters of hypocrisy.

James Talarico’s victory in the Texas Democratic Senate primary shows the power of a class-focused political message. His campaign emphasized economic populism and working-class unity rather than traditional Democratic Party messaging or identity politics.

Hopefully, the system doesn't crush him.

Listen to this guy...something is seriously wrong that they're not telling us.

Reminder that the US military budget is larger than the military spending of the next nine largest countries combined.

Over half goes to private defense contractors.

This is the military-industrial complex Eisenhower warned of — on steroids.

Pa. Sens. Fetterman, McCormick vote against effort to rein in Trump’s war powers U.S. Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., was the only Democrat in the Senate to vote against scaling back the war in Iran.

John Fetterman was the *only* "Democrat" to vote against reining in Donald Trump's unconstitutional attempts to start wars without Congressional approval. What a dick.

The White House Press Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, has a very simple job description: LIE.

Listening to Hegseth brief is like listening to the slobbering drunk at a bar...maybe never even served...spinning sloppy bravado for one reason: to sound “macho.”

It never lands. Anyone sober hears insecurity, and the stink of a serious drinking problem.

"When crazy people have nuclear weapons bad things happen" coming out of Donald Trump's mouth is a Monkey's Paw ass quote if I've ever heard one.

Here we go again, America. We have to give a President another blank check and give him as much as he wants to shoot unlimited $20 million interceptors at $20,000 drones and if we don’t we are unpatriotic so pay up.

We have to pay billions so Trump can play with new toys for his viewing pleasure. bsky.app/profile/atru...

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."

The majority of America’s teachers — a whopping 71% — have at least one side job because they’re so underpaid.

Meanwhile, the country is about to be launched into a long, drawn-out war that has already cost an estimated $2 billion.

Priorities.

Noem asked to retract comments calling Renee Good and Alex Pretti domestic terrorists Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., pushed Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to retract her previous statements labeling Renee Good and Alex Pretti as domestic terrorists. Noem said she was ...

Americans watched as federal agents killed two Minnesotans.

Now their families have to watch Kristi Noem continue to lie about it.

Iran Conflict Spikes Gas Prices—Could Hit $3.25 This Week—Here’s The Latest The price of a gallon of gas is expected to steadily increase this week.

The price of a gallon of gas is expected to steadily increase this week.

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.

Chris Murphy: "It's just so disgusting to listen to the president be waxing poetically about the drapes he's buying while there are six Americans who are dead. There are six families who are about to bury their children because of a war of choice that no one in this country wanted, an illegal war."

I can’t stand all this winning.

Republicans to Democrats: We started a war so now you have to agree to additional DHS funding without ICE reforms.

This surveillance can happen through all sorts of apps, such as video games, news apps, weather trackers, and dating apps.

Hmmm….makes sense!
