Amazon, which saved $4B in taxes under Trump's Big Ugly Bill, has cut 30,000 jobs since last October. Verizon, which saved $2B, plans to cut 15,000 jobs this year. Meta, which saved $3B, plans to lay off 20% or more of its workforce. Trickle-down economics is a cruel joke.

Great Senator !

The singular goal of all future US politics is to ensure Trumpism is defeated and cannot again take root here, and everything that serves that end is to be considered and prioritized. It's a holistic organizing principle, from a Green New Deal to Nuremberg 2 to expanding the court to Reconstruction.

A reminder of why Trump waged war on Iran: www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Amazing.

“I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation. War is hell.” ~General William Tecumseh Sherman. Image: National Archives.

Say it loudly.

I can guess.

In all seriousness, one thing that might be worth doing today: Tell your Reps and Senators to call Adm. Richard Correll, the Commander of U.S. Strategic Command, which controls the nation's nukes, and remind him of *his* unique responsibility to refuse an illegal order.

King Croesus and the Oracle of Delphi

So many people walking about in elite circles who need to be slapped the fuck into adulthood.

Congress cannot wait until Trump’s deadline to find out if he was merely bluffing about committing a genocide in Iran. The statement itself is impeachable. The threat to do war crimes is impeachable. That’s the best case. The worst is he follows through. He must be stopped. He must be removed.

Murkowski can't bring herself to step up and call for impeachment the deranged warmonger.

Trump's public call for genocide of the Iranian civilization was worse than the public statements of some of the 12 who were sentenced to death in the Nuremberg trials.

Senator Ron Wyden is one of the more restrained members of the Senate who carefully chooses his words. I’ve never seen him angry. When RON WYDEN says this, LISTEN:

“What President Trump is describing as the destruction of ‘a whole civilization’ would be a war crime, plain and simple.”

Rick Steves stepping up for all of us.

Say it loudly and often. Shout it .

To conservatives who’ve objected when some of us have suggested Trump is a fascist, and who’ve complained when some us point out that much of real existing American conservatism has devolved into fascism, if you’re silent about Trump’s threat of genocide you’re proving the point you’ve objected to.

Maybe he'll give other Republicans some courage.

He speaks for me.

Agree.

Iranian civilization is ancient and beautiful. We extend our solidarity to the Iranian people in this frightening and shameful moment. Congress must act now to stop President Trump from carrying out more catastrophic and immoral violence in our names.

Things haven’t gotten worse, we’ve gotten used to calling it normal.

You could have had free universal healthcare this entire time. The money was always there.

I think people are only debating whether Donald Trump is currently going through cognitive decline because he's always been so phenomenally stupid, it's hard to tell.

We need lawmakers in the Senate who will stand up to Trump. We need Janet Mills. When Trump took away Maine's federal funding, she fought back and won. In the Senate, she will fight for lower costs, healthcare access and other issues critical to Mainers. Elect Janet Mills U.S. Senate, Maine

A few have suggested that some aspects of this mission--joy, international teamwork, diversity--are being played up to stick it to the hateful attitude of the administration. But I don't think it's that. I think it's just that those things are essential to and inseparable from a mission like this.

In Copenhagen a few weeks ago, I was shown a Danish app that tells users which products are American, so that they know not to buy them. At the time it was the most popular app in the country. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

I feel like forcing military officers to choose between defying orders given by civilian leadership or committing war crimes will be a defining moment in whatever ultimately happens to our democracy.

"I think we should invest in our own people," says the toady from the administration that has slashed billions of dollars in federal funding for colleges and universities.

This is brilliant: real student reviews from attending the teaching sessions of Jesus; “Inaccessible. He told me he’d be in his office; I walked all the way there, and the door was open, and he was gone.”

From my time as District Attorney, to my time as Attorney General, to now as Governor, where I've delivered real progress for our state, I have spent my life fighting for Maine people. I have a proven record of winning tough fights — I'm ready for this one.

Oh yes and speaking of negative sum LOL at the idea that Trump/Vance want to invest in students or teachers of any nationality bsky.app/profile/kevi...

We could’ve had this intelligent supremely qualified leader in the White House instead of a dangerous psychopath. I’ll never regret voting for her.

There is no excuse for downplaying or eliding the insanity of Trump’s morning post. It is the most unhinged public comment by a president in US history and should be reported and remarked upon as such.

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

Dear Humans, If a Dem candidate for 2028 is not running first on EXACTING SWIFT AND WONDERFUL JUSTICE on the war criminals in this administration, then you must join with me in throwing that candidate into the lake of fire. Thanks, God

Remember all this nonsense about the supposed inferiority of “third world” immigration? They really believed that and applied their theory to international relations and it failed. Racism makes you stupid.

Despicable

Franklin Graham is a opportunistic tool not on speaking terms with the Prince of Peace. He's a greedy man who siphons off $720,000/year off just one of his "charities." To Franklin, "faith" is just a business. A nepo baby like Donald Trump, we wouldn't even know his name if he hadn't had a rich dad.

That U.S. airman missing in Iran would be in less danger if Trump and Hegseth didn’t keep bragging about committing war crimes.

Pete Hegseth has overseen double-tap strikes to kill people clinging to boats, ripped up the Rules of Engagement, and talked about no quarter. As one US Airman is still unaccounted for and a search effort continues in Iran, remember laws of war protect OUR troops, too. But only if we abide by them.

Vote the bums out!
