Trump Says ‘Unlimited’ Weapons Stockpiles Mean Wars Can Be Fought ‘Forever’ The president’s remarks appeared to be a bid to push back against concerns about the U.S.’s weapon stockpile levels as the conflict with Iran escalates.

The "No Wars President" is now talking about waging war
"forever."
I'm praying that a stroke or heart attack will finally rescue us from this ignorant fool.

Gavin Newsom: “Review the tape — Trump spent more time talking about the curtains & his ballroom than of the 4 service members that died bc of his operation & his declaration of war without congressional consent — He still has not articulated clear vision of what the end game is. Period. Full stop”

The Declaration of Independence says we have the right to overthrow the government The right to overthrow a government remains an important principle to uphold, as it serves as a check on government power. It is a reminder that governments ...

The Declaration of Independence says that we not only have the right but we also have the duty to alter or abolish any government that does not secure our unalienable rights, including life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Totally realize it. Only wish I could express it MORE!

I want to walk you through why it’s nearly certain Trump’s Iran War is going to be a massive, deadly, trillion dollar failure. And why you should be furious he’s set us on this path.

Showtime has been owned by CBS for decades, not WB, which means they are already now a Paramount property.
This is not good for the industry.
And it is not good for film & TV lovers.

Hey @variety.com & @thr.com
Why don't you ask @iamseanastin.bsky.social Sean Astin why he refuses to speak out against the WB/Paramount merger?
Ask him if he's really that scared of Trump!

HBO Max and Paramount+ to Combine Into One Streaming Platform, Paramount Says HBO Brand Will ‘Operate With Independence’ Paramount Skydance plans to combine Paramount+ and HBO Max into one streaming service, upon the completion of the merger between Paramount and WBD.

And they second they do, we delete HBO Max.

Audition yesterday.
If booking were based on lighting alone, I’d already have the part!
Alas, I stunk up the joint yesterday! 🫤

We live 1 mile east of the federal building.
And 1/2 mile west of a large Iranian-American population.
Yesterday was a symphony of helicopters & sirens.

Let's see how much MAGA supports this insane war in a couple of weeks, when gas soars past $5 a gallon or more!

So. Just politics?

Hey @iamseanastin.bsky.social why isn't @sagaftra.org speaking out against the WB/Paramount merger, when it will negatively impact the union's members?
Because you're a coward, too afraid of Trump's wrath it lead us with courage!
Stop being a wimp! Do what we elected you to do.
REPRESENT ACTORS!

Why isn't @sagaftra.org speaking out against the WB/Paramount merger? Because @iamseanastin.bsky.social is a coward, too chicken-shit to risk the ire of Trump. We need a NEW president who realizes that labor unions ARE political organizations. Electing this WIMP was a huge mistake!

Now starting Diane Keaton’s Let’s Just Say It Wasn’t Pretty, which has been calling my name for weeks.

Here’s to getting back to the old "young" Leon, a book at a time! 2/2

As a kid, I never went anywhere without a book. Usually three. 📚

Then adulthood showed up with a calendar, a career, and a wonderful husband. In my 30s, I drifted.

For 2026, I made a vow: 1 chapter a day. Most days, I keep it. Two books since January. 1/2

‘David Ellison Scares the S— Out of Me’: How Paramount Beat Out Netflix, Won Warner Bros. and Will Change Hollywood Forever How Paramount Skydance's David Ellison came back with the winning bid for Warner Bros. Discovery and what it means for Warners and Netflix.

There is no scenario in which this is good for the industry.
Or for movie fans.
Fascism is coming to a theatre near you!

So Paramount had to pay Netflix $2.8 billion for dropping out?
On top of the millions it's paying to WB to acquire all it's properties.
That's just shitty business. Smart shareholders should revolt.

Hillary Clinton never even met Jeffrey Epstein, but was forced to testify about him. #CoverUp

It Can Now Be Plainly Said: Trump Is Planning a November Coup d’État During the campaign, it was kind of hard to picture the specifics of how Trump might pull such a thing off. Alas, it’s getting less hypothetical by the week.

If you're surprised, you're an idiot.
We need to prepare ourselves to fight down & dirty if this comes to pass...

The Photographer Who Helped Launch Melania Trump’s Modeling Career Is a Recurring Character in the Epstein Files Melania Trump and Antoine Verglas were fixtures of the 1990s fashion circuit—a rarefied ecosystem that Jeffrey Epstein would continue to penetrate long after his conviction.

Why isn't she testifying?
