The White House said in June, and I quote, "Iran’s Nuclear Facilities Have Been Obliterated — and Suggestions Otherwise are Fake News"

I’d like to see Scott out there at some point this season

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1.5 trillion.

Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.

Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits.

The military industrial complex is cheering today.

Coming from a culture of people that include organ meats as part of their traditional food because we lived in conditions where society enforced poverty on us and it’s all we could afford: this is what you say to people you’re enforcing poverty on.

Americans Are Leaving the U.S. in Record Numbers More citizens are replanting overseas, drawn by a quality of life made easily affordable by the U.S.’s enviable salaries.

This is such a well done piece that reports out, with hard data and interviews, something profound about what's gone wrong in this country.

Every senator who voted to confirm RFK Jr owns this tragedy. Every single one.

We genuinely need a revival of virtue in the United States.

In my view, that’s almost as critical a project as any other structural reform project necessary in the wake of trumpism. We should become a society that actually values human life such that we would feel shame about this.

The Washington Post's description of the bodycam video of his arrest last year, and the translation of Mr. Shah Alam's comments, is gutting. Remember, he was entirely blind in one eye and could only see three feet in the other, and he spoke virtually no English.

He spent a year in jail for this.

The richest man owns X.

The second and third richest men control Google.

The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.

And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

See the problem here?

To tip the balance of power in the NYS Assembly from neoliberal Center to progressive Left, we must win about 7 more primaries.

This year in NYC, there are many worthy Leftist Assembly primary campaigns to support; please choose the one most local to you, and go all in. 🙏

✅ Oppose #TaxTheRich
✅ Roll back climate law
✅ Let local govs collude with ICE

This is Governor Hochul—and thus the state of NYS politics—when she faces no primary challenge from the Left and when a majority of Assembly Dems are neoliberals.

Friends, we *must* win our Assembly primaries this year.

This is so bad

Blind refugee abandoned by Border Patrol dies in Buffalo. A nearly blind refugee abandoned by Border Patrol miles from his home dies in Buffalo after having been missing for nearly a week.

Our federal government killed a disabled genocide survivor and is covering up for a child rapist. And that is just today’s news. It is just unconscionable to be treating this as normal or acceptable in any way.

BREAKING: Credible whistleblowers detail how Kash Patel’s misuse and mismanagement of FBI aircraft and resources have complicated high-profile investigations, such as the Charlie Kirk assassination and Brown University shooting.

Kash Patel’s use of jet delayed FBI team’s mass shooting response, whistleblower tells top senator Sen. Richard Durbin says FBI director’s “misplaced priorities” led to the delayed response to the Brown University shooting in December.

Breaking MS NOW:

Agents with the FBI's elite evidence response team were delayed in reaching the scene of a mass shooting at Brown U. in December because there was no FBI plane available.

Kash Patel was in south Florida at the time with one of the FBI's two available jets.

“Let’s not do anything to upset our abuser.”

Just the weakest shit imaginable.

The DoD now has more money than it knows what to do with.

Imagine if we spent that money on healthcare or housing instead.

"A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual doom.” -MLK

Man, we’ve hit the point where even ICE agents are blowing whistles at ICE agents.

DoJ cases against protesters keep collapsing as officers’ lies are exposed in court String of embarrassing defeats for prosecutors as experts condemn DoJ effort to cast people as ‘violent perpetrators’

"In Chicago, of 92 people arrested for assaulting or impeding officers last fall, 74 cases have resulted in no charges; in 13 cases, charges were filed and dismissed; and five charged cases were still pending. . . there have been no convictions.

literally no one is talking about pronouns except for him. it’s just open bigotry. that’s all it is.

Former ICE lawyer Ryan Schwank: “I received secretive orders to teach new cadets to violate the Constitution.”

Welp here he is laughing at Trump's sexist joke. Massive bummer.

Is the president mocking the U.S. women’s hockey team on a celebratory call with the men’s team going to attract even an iota of the sustained handwringing that the idea of trans athletes disadvantaging women’s sports has gotten

Here’s a screen recording of the video where Kash Patel has Trump on the phone with the U.S. men’s hockey team and Trump invites them all to the SOTU, adding that he’ll have to invite the women’s team as well (to laughter from the men) or else he’ll be impeached
