it took just over a year to get from "I'll lower costs on day one" to "I'm raising prices and it's good, actually"

I think Americans, blessed with relatively stable government for a long time, assume there is someone, some adult, who will step in and make things right before the President does anything REALLY bad.

There’s not.

The Trump administration could really restore confidence by getting the entire Cabinet to ride a tanker through the Straits of Hormuz to show everyone how safe and easy it is now.

They could bring along a lot of MAGA influencers and Fox News hosts to broadcast it all live!

Trump’s military excursion, into an abyss The evident fact is that the president is nuts.

“There’s no reason to expect that Trump’s Iranian debacle will prevent him from lighting yet another match of chaos or conflict. In fact, experience teaches that Trump bristling from a failure makes him more, not less, likely to do something equally stupid, and to do so soon.”

Trump has now conducted 42 boat strikes, killing nearly 160 people.

Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it.

He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner.

This is a danger to us all.

Thought I would have gotten used to it by now, but I’m still grappling with the realization of just how stupid the men running this country are.

While Americans spent the weekend watching gas prices rise because of his illegal war with Iran, Donald Trump spent the weekend golfing.

America’s sons and daughters are being put in harms way because of his rogue and reckless actions, and this is how he is spending his time.

It’s time to stop being politely silent at the political dinner table. Let your elected officials know you expect them to object to open racism, antisemitism, and Islamophobia. Push back matters.

Just a reminder that Muslims have been on this continent since the first arrival of non-Indigenous people. They were among the first generation of Americans, and have been here ever since.

If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected — young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! — and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.

NBC’s Richard Engel: “The White House meme campaign is outraging many former US military commanders… they say only someone who has never really seen combat would think it’s a joke and put out material like this.”

Top Trump officials rush to purchase nuclear war-proof bunkers after Iran attack: report Since President Donald Trump’s unprecedented attack on Iran last week, at least two top Trump administration officials have raced to purchase their own survival shelters designed to withstand an apoca...

A dude in Texas who makes bomb shelters for nuclear war has seen his business skyrocket this week.

Recent clients include 2 Trump admin members, and the rest were almost all “Christian, conservative CEOs,” which included “several of the wealthiest men on the planet."

If oil prices spike, working families feel it first at the pump, at the store, everywhere. Dismissing those concerns as foolish ignores real economic pain.

AOC: The Pentagon has not passed an audit, and they are out here trying to kick people with disabilities off of Medicaid. It is corruption that is stealing from the public coffers — and that is the actual waste, fraud, and abuse.

The DOJ released evidence, which the FBI deemed credible, that the President of the United States sexually and physically assaulted a 13 year old girl AND she was afraid to talk about it because Trump would kill her—and it’s somehow not the biggest scandal in American history?

Venezuela, Iran, Cuba, Greenland, Canada, and on and on and on. Lindsey Graham says they are “marching through the world.”
They don’t care how many US soldiers they get killed. Meanwhile, they’re building concentration camps at home for Americans to die in. What will it take for people to wake up?

The Desire for Terror And the defense of democracy

A purpose of the war on Iran might well be to provoke a terrorist attack inside the United States. This would provide Donald Trump with a pretext to try to cancel or “federalize” the coming Congressional elections.
