At some point even American corporate media needs to just bite the bullet and publish an accurate headline noting that this guy absolutely loves war crimes and is looking forward to doing some war crimes in Iran Because that is exactly the translation of what he's saying here

Graham Platner appeared on notorious antisemitic conspiracy theorist Nate Cornacchia's podcast, declared himself a "longtime fan" and proceeded to falsely equate Democratic and Republican immigration policies. Platner also accepted Cornacchia's characterization of him as an "America Firster."

I hate how accurate this tweet is.

While corporate America stayed silent, a small wine importer risked his business to challenge Trump’s tariffs. Thank you 🫂 VOS Selections, Victor Schwartz. UB40 - Red Red Wine 🗽🩵🍷

The government basically cut itself off. They inherited a country & an economy that was recovering from the pandemic but was headed in the right direction & they just ruined it—created chaos, they had no plan, no idea what the consequences would be, they didn't listen to the experts... Thread 3/10🧵

🤬

this one fucked me up so much. guy turns his life around after a drug conviction, becomes a happy, beloved, pet rescuing houseboat dad who undersells his mechanic services so poor folks can afford them. ICE grabs him one day out of the hospital for heart problems which then kill him. horrifying

3 jets have been lost. $350,000,000 worth of hardware. Paid for by us. Their incompetence is killing us. When will our military see the writing on the wall?

Charlie Kirk dropped out of community college.

Imagine. Just fucking imagine. 😳👇

When Trump came to power, he ripped up the peace deal that Obama had made, and used the uncertainty he created as an excuse to bomb Iran, insisting he had ended the problem he had created once and for all, except now he's bombing them again to solve the problem he created and previously solved?

Oh so the Anthropic spat was about Pete Hegseth wanting to do war crimes but blame robots and avoid jail. Checks out.

So while Iranian missiles are actually hitting American targets and the Middle East explodes, Trump is at Mar-a-Lago hosting a glitzy fundraiser for millionaires, proving once again that other people's kids doing the fighting and dying is just background music for his donors. 1/2

“We don’t need no stinkin’ planning. Planning is woke.”

When you start an illegal war to distract from the other illegal things you've done.

We killed 85 schoolgirls. We are not the good guys.

the guy who wrote the literal book on this stuff is dunking on the admin:

Hey, man, if you're not up for the job requirements of being a congressman -- if the whole "war powers" part is too much of a hassle for you -- I'm sure the people in your district can find someone else who'll do the actual work for that paycheck.

No justification, no authorization from Congress, and no clear objective. But none of that matters to Donald Trump — and apparently neither do the safety and lives of American service members.

Iran is now in a "use it or lose it" position with their long-range arsenal. High civilian casualties don't hurt the regime; they help it. Nothing validates the "Great Satan" narrative like a tragedy they can pin on us.

1. The American people were under no imminent threat from Iran. Its government does not have nuclear weapons. It was no more threatening to Israel or any other US ally than it normally is.

Hey remember when all you amoral racists who can’t spell “you’re” told us that Trump was the anti-war candidate, bc the billionaires who control right wing media told you to think that? Billionaires got their tax cut. We got wars. Now go figure how to pay for groceries rent & medicine this month.

According to reporting on Velshi this morning, we were days away from a deal Trump could have bragged was better than the Obama deal he killed in his first term. Like, there was a meeting scheduled for Monday. So what the hell?

Jasmine Crockett is standing on business and addressing the U.S.-Israeli attack on Iran. She is willing to step away from her campaign in Texas to head back to D.C. “I think speaker Johnson needs to call us in right now and we need to deal with this right now.”

It would be nice if statements by members of Congress on the U.S. attack on Iran started with something like: “This attack is an unconstitutional usurpation of Congress’s war powers.”

Couldn’t the problem with the House be solved by Massie and one other patriotic R switching parties and caucusing with Ds? Like, it’s an actual emergency now, Trump has started a war without Congressional approval.

This ‼️‼️‼️

if you believe in any form of free enterprise at all, the idea that the Pentagon can not only cut off your contract but designate you a supply chain risk and prevent other companies from buying from you just because you won't build killbots for the government should be terrifying

Yes, please!!!

First of all -- fuck you, Pete. None of this is happening in the faculty lounges of your fever dreams. Second, I've taught military personnel in our PhD programs and if you think slamming the door to Harvard and Princeton in their faces is "having their back" you're even dumber than you sound.

It's unusual for the Secretary of Defense to spend this much time obsessing about children's genitalia, but I guess that's sort of the main theme of the second Trump administration.

Kansas sucks.

You have every right to choose country over party when the president is out of control America 🇺🇸 United Country Over Polotics

Radiohead is demanding that the Trump administration take down a pro-ICE promotional video featuring a version of its song “Let Down” without permission. Full statement from the band:

It’s true. Guy can’t even say his own real title. Had to substitute a three-letter word for a seven-letter word.

RAPE IS NOT SEX!

Letz go even bigger and better,,, ALL Female US Olympians and Paralympian medalists are invited out to celebrate in Viva Las Vegas for the SHE GOT GAME Weekend ,,, Hit a guy up and LETZ GOOO

That people are questioning whether the guy who said on video that his fame entitled him to grab women by the genitals, was and still is a SEXUAL PREDATOR… mind boggling

Two crucial points that @leahlitman.bsky.social discusses here: 1) Rep James Comer could do what Rep Robert Garcia did and go look at the logs to confirm the missing files himself. 2) If Dems win the House, they can subpoena these specific files in 2027. newrepublic.com/article/2070...

"We are dealing now with an allegation that the president of the US raped and sexually assaulted a child and is now using his DOJ to try to cover that up." If you want to understand latest Epstein revelations, @leahlitman.bsky.social explains them clearly on our pod: newrepublic.com/article/2070...

GOP Rep Scott Bottoms claims 20 anti human trafficking organizations wouldn’t help him expose alleged pedophile rings at the Colorado Capitol. Bottoms says they demanded up to $250k. A dozen prominent HT orgs tell me Bottoms never contacted them.

Is the president mocking the U.S. women’s hockey team on a celebratory call with the men’s team going to attract even an iota of the sustained handwringing that the idea of trans athletes disadvantaging women’s sports has gotten

Big hat tip @wapplehouse.bsky.social for this:

Hi I'm Tage Thompson of the @sabres.com and I'm going to spend the next few months complaining that all you people made this political (while every player on every Canadian team breaks me in half) 🤷🏼‍♂️
