I did not share the original story because my gut was that the sourcing was dubious. Someone who knows more about the sole source confirms that skepticism. Don't fall for clickbait, read the piece linked below.

(If the story is confirmed by other outlets, that's another thing. But ... it's not)

Democrats: can we make it so slightly less people die of hunger and easily preventable disease?
Corporate Media & Republicans: how are you going to pay for that?!?

Republicans: we would like to spend $1 billion per day bombing Iran to distract US from Trump-Epstein Files.
Corporate Media: Yes!!!

In Nov ‘25, the GOP fought to cut ACA subsidies because $23B was “too expensive.” PWMB estimates $65B has been spent on cruise missiles since Sat. Add in oil spikes, supply chain disruptions, and trade losses the total could reach $210B. Don’t tell me healthcare is too expensive.

The administration is setting up the idea that anyone opposing Trump is engaging in "domestic terrorism," as Trump's EO set out. (This is a way to get around the specific definition of "domestic terrorist" in U.S. law.)

The American Dream: Every billionaire, if they work hard to elect the right politicians, can become a multibillionaire or, perhaps one day, a trillionaire. Inspiring.

He REALLY reminds me of a young Donnie Two-Scoops.

Watch this.

19 minutes and $12 to get meds at a public Chinese hospital. Without insurance.

As we slash Medicaid to start unnecessary wars and cut taxes for the rich. 🇺🇸

We should all be so much angrier than we are. It doesn’t have to be this way. #MedicareForAllNOW

"Skyrizi" makes me want to bite someone.

I guess Vegas always seemed decadent to me because of the gambling and encouraging general excess, but mostly, it's just tacky.

It has struck me as a place that outdoes decadence way beyond what Las Vegas ever did.

But taking a broader view, Benghazi:
• eroded Clinton’s crossover appeal
• covered Clinton in controversy
• brought EMAILS to light
• paved Trump’s path to power…

“The Intern in Charge”: Meet the 22-Year-Old Trump’s Team Picked to Lead Terrorism Prevention One year out of college and with no apparent national security expertise, Thomas Fugate is the Department of Homeland Security official tasked with overseeing the government’s main hub for combating v...

The Republicans seem to be prepping an argument that any domestic terror attacks in the aftermath of their Iran attacks will be the fault of Democrats for shutting down DHS funding, so I'd like to remind everyone of this appointment:

And Republicans got angry with Michelle Obama for stepping outside her lane by having a vegetable garden. We are, truly, living in the stupidest of times. . .

He is not thinking about the Iranian people, our service members in harm’s way, or even a coherent rationale for war. He is thinking about himself, his ego, and how to turn the People’s House into a monument to his power.

Excellent Thread by @stevevladeck.bsky.social. Not “hyper-technical.” It goes to the heart of why this Court has forfeited the trust of the parts of the profession who know and care about how litigation is supposed to work.

🔥 @grahamformaine.bsky.social : “Watching people who have no idea what any of this looks like or feels like disgusts me… saying we just need to be prepared for more casualties because ‘that’s what happens’ — it’s not what fucking happens to THEM, it’s what happens to US.”

Ossoff: "The president owes Americans a real explanation. 2am posts on Truth Social just aren't good enough when you're sending Americans into combat. He was dancing at his beach club the same night he ordered air crews to launch into combat & hours before our service members endured missile salvos"

BREAKING: As I was first to report earlier, Trump has nominated Bradford Wilson, who does not meet the statutory requirements—which include that the nominee be nonpartisan and professionally qualified—to be the next Archivist of the United States.

U.S. Troops Were Told Iran War Is for “Armageddon,” Return of Jesus Advocacy group reports commanders giving similar messages at more than 30 installations in every branch of the military

EXCLUSIVE: At more than 30 installations, U.S. commanders told troops the war on Iran is a Christian war.

The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been “inundated” with more than 110 complaints.

One NCO said they were told the U.S. war is to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus…

I remember that part very well.

We're the Villains Now On Monday, Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth held a pro-war pep rally touting America's ability to make war great again.

We. Are. Evil.

Feds asked New Mexico to halt Jeffrey Epstein Zorro Ranch sex trafficking probe, records show Former AG says feds halted New Mexico’s Epstein inquiry without sharing promised evidence as state reopens Zorro Ranch i

New reporting finds that Trump's DOJ took over and quashed a state investigation into Epstein's New Mexico ranch in 2019.

As the walls close in on Trump, he'll do anything — including launch full-scale wars — to distract the public.

The Man They Called Cyrus Is Bombing Cyrus’s Country I watched the Shah flee on a black-and-white television in Ramat Aviv.

Crow: "Friday night, Trump filmed this tough video where he talked about the cost of war & how hard it's gonna be & how we're gonna lose troops, then he literally went behind the curtain & hosted a million dollar a plate dinner & dance party at Mar-a-Lago. That tells you everything you need to know"
