It is maddening to see people animated by false allegations of fraud against daycare workers making pennies compared to the billionaires defrauding Americans to the tune of, well, billions, all while investing in and running platforms to spread the daycare fraud lies

He’s going to declare victory and leave.

This is why the US engaging in a regime change operation is almost always a bad idea, but particularly under this administration.

Taking his ball and going home now will create another insurgency in the Middle East.

‘They pushed so many lies about recycling’: the fight to stop big oil pumping billions more into plastics Plastic production has doubled over the last 20 years – and will likely double again. For author Beth Gardiner, metal water bottles and canvas tote bags are not the solution. So what is?

Trying to use less plastic?

Big Oil and the plastics industry are spending billions to make sure everyone else uses more.

“I think what stood out most is the deliberateness and intentionality over the years of pushing plastic into our lives,” said @bethgardiner.bsky.social. “It was such a shock."

I'm convinced that Trump cheated in all 3 presidential elections he ran in and he is going to try and do it again. They will TRY to delay the mid-terms but there will be a big backlash and fight against it. They won't succeed.

If you still condone this administration, you're a special kind of stupid. We bombed a school filled with young girls. Gas just jumped 40 cents. Not to mention the cost of American lives. I'm beginning to think Bibi is Bubba. What's a few more trillion?

Sen. Murray: "I'm just sickened by this. To go into this war unprepared, to use outdated data, and to have this horrific thing happen where children were killed in a school sends a horrible message to those that are in a war with us and to our own constituents about what America's values are."

Wasn't it Trump that said of Putin...
"I don't see any reason why it would be" Russia...."President Putin was extremely strong and powerful in his denial today".

Just more of the same treasonous rhetoric from this administration!

Disgusting!

The Commander in Chief is calling the attacks in Iran “excursions” because he doesn’t know the difference between excursions and “ incursions”.
***excursion - short enjoyable trip
***incursion - hostile, aggressive entrance into a territory

The Cult of Conservative Christianity YouTube video by LJ

It's not just a lack of education; it is an overabundance of 'faith.'

Far too many Americans are trapped in right-wing Christian cults that pose a clear & present danger to America.

When the President of the United States views "We the People" as a threat to his power, he has abdictated his sworn duty to serve us and must be immediately removed from office.

Lying is a feature, not a bug, of fascism. So, when a man like Witkoff says, "we can take them at their word," remember that their frame of reference is their own honesty & credibility.

Thus, we should trust Witkoff & Putin to the same degree we trust tRump & his minions - i.e. not at all.

Typical of an authoritarian, fascist regime that suppresses vital information and doesn’t want its citizens to know how horrific this illegal, trump-manufactured war really is. The trump regime is not a presidential administration, it’s a dictatorship characterized by state control and propaganda.

Kim: The vast majority of what I hear in these classified briefings can be said publicly, but they intentionally do this to as a tactic to be able to prevent the American people from hearing and questioning what it is that they're doing.

They know that the American people do not want a war

The Democratic Party is directly enabling the war by praising the assassination of Iranian leaders, refusing to condemn the aggression, and approving massive military funding.
