Genuine question: after 6 weeks of bombing Iran, the US has almost run out of Tomahawk missiles, and their Navy is running out of food. Car companies are being asked to make weapons. Other public spending is being slashed to bits. What the hell is their $1 trillion a year military budget spent on?

Got another Dear Author email, subject line: "A message has been sent from my end." I'm not sure it's from the end I'd want to talk to, though.

There is no place in civilized society for RFK Jr. and no place in government for those who granted him his position.

One of my favorite Bible passages

New York is taxing the rich. NYC Mayor Mamdani and Gov. Kathy Hochul announced a tax on second homes worth over $5 million. While Trump rolls out the red carpet for his billionaire friends, states and cities are leading the charge to tackle out-of-control inequality. Let’s keep it up.

HOW EMBARASSING! Pete Hegseth quoted a fake Bible verse from Pulp Fiction during a Pentagon sermon. 🤣🤣

I say this often because it must be said: my daughter’s generation has fewer rights now than when they were born. My father spoke of staying awake during times of change. Today, we are witnessing a generation that refuses to sleep. They see clearly. They act boldly. They will shape what comes next.

NEW: Marjorie Taylor Greene says following attacks from Trump calling her a “traitor”, her children received such serious death threats that she reached out to Trump directly, who scolded her & said she’s at fault if son is killed.

It will be extremely funny if Vance manages to get himself excommunicated before his book on becoming a Catholic releases.

Swalwell has announced his resignation from Congress. It’s impossible not to ask why Texas Republican Tony Gonzales hasn’t done the same. And why the GOP doesn’t insist the Epstein files, which repeatedly mention the head of their party, be fully released.

May Victor Orbán simply be the first in a string of countries engaging in overdue housecleaning by kicking their authoritarian leaders to the curb.

Today, the people of #Hungary toppled their tyrant. America, our return to democracy requires our full attention. We can see it can be done!

Imagine trusting science to bring astronauts to the moon and back but not trusting science to develop safe vaccines.

Since Melania brought it up, I will remind you once again:

Where’s Congress? 🕵🏻‍♀️

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES... 👇

I suggest all Democrats immediately return to Capitol Hill and ask Republicans to join them in passing a veto proof law forbidding Trump from destroying the Iranian Civilization.

The ceasefire deal includes the US lifting economic sanctions on Iran and a fee of 2 million/ship for passage thru the Strait of Hormuz. Imagine if we'd never attacked Iran; sanctions would still be in place, ships wouldn't be taxed and no one would have died. This is the stupidest war ever.

To the armed forces of the US, remember your oath and the law. Do not comply with orders that constitute war crimes. Civilians and civilian infrastructure are not legitimate targets. DO NOT COMPLY. You are better than the president.

“A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.” -Trump Article III The following acts shall be punishable: (a) Genocide; (b) Conspiracy to commit genocide; (c) Direct and public incitement to commit genocide; (d) Attempt to commit genocide; (e) Complicity in genocide.

ALL REPUBLICANS SHOULD BE SHOUTING OUT THE SAME MESSAGE!!

I reserve the right to keep complaining about what an annoying kid sister Petra is. — Mo* *the part-Siamese one with his head buried in his annoying kid sister’s neck

We are talking to ourselves here. He’s insane. Our President is insane. We have to gather and stop him. My congressman acknowledges my sentiment. That’s not going to cut it. Let’s go!

The emperor has no clothes. Time for the #25thAmendment. Congress and the Cabinet must act.

Hudson River at Poughkeepsie, right now.

CONGRESS STOP TRUMP OR YOU WILL GO DOWN WITH HIM!!! BREAKING: A-10 aircraft hit by Iranian air defenses, second US aircraft to go down in the Middle East

Noem is gone. Bondi is gone. Gabbard is rumored to be on the block. But I haven't heard any such rumors about Patel, Hegseth, or RFK Jr. It must be chromosomal.

Anyone else disgusted Trump chose to give his big speech on the first night of Passover?

Not that I'd ever defend Noem, Bondi, or Gabbard, but it is striking that only the women in the administration are under fire and it's not because Hegseth, RFK, Bessent, Burgum, Lutnick, etc are paragons of anything except stupid malice.

This 💯

It’s almost like we told Marjorie Taylor Greene this would happen.

Philadelphia 30th St. Station, right now.

The regime is buying warehouses to retrofit into concentration camps. But Trump’s expansion of detention facilities is so unpopular that some Republicans are speaking out against it. Urge Congress to act: https://act.indivisible.org/sign/reject-the-deportation-and-detention-agenda/?source=bluesky

Oh word? You don’t like people using your pirated work without your permission or compensation? Do go on.

What a rallying cry!

77% of Americans want all the Epstein Files released.

Let's focus on something we ALL agree on: #ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files

I left a book on the couch last night. Mo the cat loves to curl up with a good book so he slept on it.

LAPD officers arrest a protester dressed as the Statue of Liberty during No Kings protest

A federal judge just ruled that videos of DOGE staffers must stay up — and they are devastating. The regime tried to bury this. It didn't work. www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/shut-it-do...
