This is an excellent point by Murphy

You want to support the troops?

Then don’t give Donald Trump the money he needs to send them to die in an illegal war that he started to cover up his connection to Epstein

Christian Nationalism is NOT Christianity, but it is a national security threat.

πŸ“Œ The Military Religious Freedom Foundation says it has received over 200 complaints that troops are being told war with Iran is meant to accelerate β€œArmageddon.”

Caitlin KALINOWSKI over X

I resigned from OpenAl. I care deeply about the Robotics team and the work we built together.
This wasn't an easy call. Al has an important role in national security. But surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got. This was about principle, not people. I have deep respect for Sam and the team, and I'm proud of what we built together.

The Ellisons’ new Paramount/Warner Bros mega-media monopoly would never pass muster if America still had antitrust enforcers.

So who can stop this? State attorneys general. Here's how. ⬇️

After 3 years of being blocked/delayed by creepy insurrectionist Mike Johnson and fascist republicans, this Jan 6 honorary plaque meant to honor hero officers was installed at the US Capitol quietly at 4 am. It was required by law to be installed in March 2023. Shameless.

Exclusive | Epstein prison guard googled him minutes before his body was found β€” and made mysterious deposit days before his suicide: DOJ Tova Noel was one of the two Metropolitan Correctional Center workers accused of falsifying records to say they checked on Epstein throughout the night before his suicide.

New records show a guard searched Jeffrey Epstein’s name minutes before his body was found. This follows thousands in unexplained cash deposits to that guard’s account days prior. These aren't coincidences; they’re receipts. We need a full independent investigation now.

Trump multiple times just today has said the country is at war. War can only be declared by Congress, and Iran posed no imminent threat. What Trump is doing there is a textbook illegal war and impeachable offense β€” if we still had a Congress.

I read these facts
It upsets my very core
Black women COULD NOT VOTE UNTIL 1965
Women fought diligently for abortion rights & now taken away
WOMEN STILL NO EQUAL RIGHTS AMENDMENT !
The kicker for me
Women would do a better job in running our Country
HELL YES

What happened in Texas was intentional. Designed to discourage voters, and it’s part of a national plan led by the same Republicans who tried to overturn the 2020 election.

🚨 Trump officials attended a summit of election deniers who want the president to take over midterms.

Watch all of this.

Most Americans are oblivious to this, but if the pedophile president's Nazification of America (Project 2025) were to succeed, the US would be no different than the current authoritarian theocracy in Iran. Make no mistake, the greatest danger to America is Trump, FULL STOP.

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:

Tax cuts for the rich
...don’t trickle down

Boosting military spending
...doesn’t bring peace

Slashing regulations
...doesn’t create jobs

Folks, we’ve seen this all before.

Nurses. Truck drivers. Federal workers. Tech employees. The Rump regime didn’t just kill jobs β€” it gutted the backbone of our country. Healthcare down 28K. Transportation down 11K.

These aren’t numbers.
They’re families.
It’s the oligarchy plan.

Pete Hegseth's murderous buffoonery, coming amid a lifetime in which he's betrayed everyone close to him and failed up from one disaster to the next, is a perfect example of how the appeal of Trumpism is that it creates a permission structure for people to openly be their worst selves

We can throw another $500,000,000,000 at the Pentagon this year and spend $1,000,000,000/day on a wholly useless war, but we can't afford to hire doctors and nurses to take care of our veterans? The United States is such an irresponsible, messed up country right now.

Iranian drone/missile impact moments ago at Dubai International Airport.

Smoke can be seen rising over the airfield. Also getting reports from local sources smoke and explosions.

If you are planning on traveling anytime soon, go ahead and book those tickets tonight.

I just checked Delta, and the prices were pretty much the same as a month ago. But with oil prices skyrocketing, thanks to Donald's useless war, that is forecasted to change quickly.

Women who carry water for the patriarchy just so they can have a slightly longer leash and stand a few rungs up in oppression from other women, particularly marginalized women, make me a special kind of angry. Being master's favorite dog is still having a master and being a dog.
