* TRUMP: I THINK PUTIN MAY BE HELPING IRAN A BIT -- FOX NEWS INTERVIEW @reuters.com

I don't know, but I guess it bothers me some that the President of the United States posted on social media that it is his great honor to be killing people. 🤷‍♂️

Great questions…

“To the "I didn't vote for this" folks. You voted for a convicted felon. A twice-impeached president. A man found liable for sexual abuse. A man who tried to overthrow an election. And now gas prices are surging, we're at war, and soldiers are coming home in coffins. This is what you voted for…” 🖕

Hegseth on more American soldiers dying yesterday in the Iran War: “Bad things can happen”

The right is replacing public service with influencer brain rot, corruption, and permanent spectacle. A guy tied to SEC crypto charges and riot-related FBI headlines is now the kind of person Trump thinks should govern. Rotten from top to bottom.

Please read and share. The “grassroots” support for the SAVE America Act is a lie. The campaign pushing this bill is being run by Cleta Mitchell and Scott Presler, two of the most notorious election deniers in the country.

He is just making things up, and the whole world knows the truth. The United States has never looked weaker because of these lies and his complete lack of a plan or strategy. Wars cannot be won with gaslighting and Truth Social posts.

Gupta: Why is Dr. Casey Means not right for the role of Surgeon General? First, she’s somebody who wraps herself in a white coat — she did a lot of that during her confirmation hearing — but she doesn’t actually practice medicine. In some ways it’s just false valor.

Sen. Joni Ernst: "People are split on this, but they understand the threat to the homeland and if we want to protect Americans here, we have to send our service men abroad"

Stryker Systems were hacked by Handala — an Iranian backed group. #CyberAttack #Iran

Chris Murphy: “They have NO plan to open up the Strait of Hormuz — a totally foreseeable result of a military action against Iran— It’s getting worse, not better as Iran is now mining the Strait — if the Strait is closed for weeks or months more, that’s a global economic catastrophe”

NEW: CENTCOM says a U.S. KC-135 refueling aircraft was lost over western Iraq during operations, while a second aircraft involved in the incident landed safely.

A win! The funding bill for DHS failed in the Senate!

The genius businessman strikes again

I was told we already won this war.

No notes.

WICKER: Sen. Gillibrand, you did not mean to say that we targeted a school? GILLIBRAND: That missile hit a school

So... he won't say it was intentional. Will he say it was incompetence... bc it's one or the other.

How does a former energy exec not know the difference between light sweet crude and heavy sour crude?

They either didn't know Iran would shut down the Strait of Hormuz or they knew and didn't have a plan. Either way - just totally clear they don't give a damn about what this war means for hardworking Americans.

It's not gonna happen.

It's more than just high gas prices we have to worry about. Grocery prices are about to explode www.newsbreak.com/alternet-332...

Our government is being run by idiots, there is no other way to say it. These people are incompetent and Americans are paying the price for their stupidity, literally, we’re paying more for almost everything because they’re dumb.

Sickening racism from a sitting senator. The Ogles hate is contagious. You’re either calling this out or normalizing it. There’s no third option.

We’ve never, ever had this before. A President completely untethered to truth. I mean completely untethered to truth. That’s such a bad thing. But you know what’s even worse? Way, way too many people don’t care. And way too much of the media no longer cares.👇

Turning the world over to madmen. That is what is happening. Madmen.

Two headlines. Same newspaper. Just days apart. According to the *Financial Times*, the Kremlin has backed covert efforts to keep Viktor Orbán in power. Around the same time, voices in Washington described Orbán’s leadership as “essential” for US interests. Different capitals. Same conclusion. 1/2

Omg they’re going w “high oil prices are good, actually.” God bless ‘em.

Omg...lol...she did it! He didn't like it and called her a rotten reporter! ROTFLMFAO www.thegodshow.com/p/bless-the-...

CHRIS HAYES: “are you a yes, or no on the supplemental appropriations bill to continue to fund this war?” SEN. CHRIS VAN HOLLEN: “I’m a hell no on any more money for this war.” 🔥 I appreciate Senator Van Hollen’s clear-cut answer here. No gameplaying!

Ossoff: "The president appears increasingly to have lost touch with reality. That is deeply concerning when you have a a cabinet much more concerned with winning his favor than giving good advice & the nation now plunged into war. It speaks to the necessity of winning these midterms in a landslide."

An El Niño climate pattern that is likely to develop this summer may be severe, federal scientists warned Thursday in a forecast that raised threats of record heat, floods and other weather extremes around the planet this year and next. Here's what to know.

New Rosie photos just dropped. She’s still available in SoCal, and she’s loving and wonderful!

So to summarise: You failed to take out the regime. You failed to destroy nuclear material. You failed to eradicate Iran's retaliatory capacity. You brought chaos to the Middle East. You killed god knows how many people. You destabilised your own economy. All for nothing, but the ego of madman.

Just some quick math, by the by. A VLCC carries about 2 million barrels of oil per shipment. That's 84 million gallons. The largest tanker trucks have a capacity of 11,600 gallons. Each VLCC supertanker would need 7,241 trucks. 30+ VLCC tankers pass through the straights daily, in peacetime.

Chris Wright on CNBC claims "we're destroying their ability to threaten energy markets" while B roll plays of a flaming tanker in the Strait of Hormuz

I keep seeing people ask about the 25th Amendment. Guys. His entire Cabinet is walking around in shoes that don’t fit because they’re scared to take them off. The 25th is never happening.

The president is handing out oversized clown shoes to his cabinet — and watching to see who refuses to wear them. It's Solzhenitsyn's Stalin story come to life: the first person to stop applauding ended up in the gulag. The lesson then, as now — never be the first to stop clapping.

Meet the new boss same as the old boss.

Trump endorsed GOP candidate Brandon Herrera tonight. Here is Brandon recreating the assassination of MLK and then shooting the target dummy at close range. He then chuckled and said, “This is so fucking wrong.”

🚨BREAKING: As the FBI probes the 2020 election in Maricopa County, senior Arizona officials are warning that the bureau may try to use the investigation as a way to short-circuit an ongoing lawsuit and obtain the state’s full unredacted voter rolls. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
