Oil up by $12 a barrel in less than 12 hours. Gas prices skyrocketing. Almost 100,000 jobs lost last month. Another war in the Middle East. Are we great again yet?

Me, dumb and politically correct: Firing on unarmed ships or double-tap military strikes on schools are bad things.

This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea. newrepublic.com/post/207429/...

In every Republican presidency of my lifetime there's been a recession and a new war in the Middle East.

The fuck kind of answer is this

The reason we have “stupid rules of engagement” is to make sure we don’t bomb elementary schools.

They killed 180 children and their teachers in a double-tap strike on a school. The girls were 7 to 12 years old.

never, ever, ever, ever accept "how will you pay for it?" as an argument against social programs.

Trump and Hegseth both opened the door to boots on the ground in Iran today. Who the fuck voted for that?

Attacking Iran looks like it will cost US consumers about 40 cents/gallon.

"That's the way it is," says the five-time draft dodger to our military families who fear their loved one in uniform could be next. What a disgrace.

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else. We mustn’t let this war do so.

This is the company that Substack chose to partnership with.

BREAKING: The Pentagon says three U.S. service members have been killed and five seriously wounded in hostilities with Iran

*America kicks a hornet’s nest* Republicans: Let’s praise Trump for having the guts to kick a hornet’s nest Sane people: What’s the plan after kicking the nest? Republicans: Why can’t you just be happy he kicked the nest?

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

Rep Pat Ryan (D-NY): Trump “hasn’t explained his goals.  He hasn't told you what it will cost – both in our tax dollars and (God forbid) our kids coming home in flag-draped coffins”

Just saying, but when people are trying to do everything they can to prevent you from voting, that’s when you absolutely need to vote. Ready to make this the biggest midterm turnout in history?

this is what they said it would be like under socialism

The richest man owns X. The second and third richest men control Google. The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

This is a scandal for ICE, but also an indication of just how much they're scraping the bottom of the barrel. They've had multiple applicants with outstanding warrants for their own arrest walking in looking to play cop. That's apparently how dumb some of these goons are.

In Rep. Tony Gonzales, Republicans have a sexual predator in their midst who relentlessly pursued a married staffer which ultimately resulted in her suicide, and they refuse to do anything about it because they need his vote. That is the 2026 Republican Party.

He is saying what Mike Johnson believes but won’t say. The Republican majority is more important to them than disavowing a sexual predator boss causing the suicide of staffer.

Abortion was phase I, trans healthcare was phase II, birth control is phase III

november 2026 dems have flipped the senate by winning gop-held seats in me, nc, oh, and tx but fetterman switches parties (and vance breaks ties)

democrats should internalize that this is what their colleagues think of them and act accordingly

Pritzker demands a $1,700 refund per family for the people of Illinois after Trump's tariffs were ruled unconstitutional. Dems, pay attention. This is your midterms message.

The message from the DOJ is unmistakable: Justice is no longer the objective. Retribution is.

Biden would’ve been instantly impeached in a bipartisan vote if he put his face on the freakin’ Department of Justice building

No, Donald Trump cannot implement voting changes via Executive Order. He may try but if he does, he we will sue and we will win.

The President is lying to the public: 1) For the past century, the federal government has been responsible for the Potomac Interceptor – not Maryland. The sewage pipe is on federal land. youtu.be/OKyIKHW8ONI

How is it possible that Kristi Noem still has this job. Imagine if you’re a family member or a shipmate of this guardsman. www.nbcnews.com/politics/imm...

My thoughts on Stephen A Smith potentially running for president are: Could we please stop fucking electing celebrities and get back to the business of running the country with boring people who just want to do a good job. Thanks

AOC: "Extreme level of wealth inequality leads to social instability and drives authoritarianism, right-wing populism, and really dangerous domestic internal politics. That is a direct outcome of the failure of democracies over decades to deliver."

This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.

This picture perfectly encapsulates this administrations willful ignorance and disdain for anything slightly resembling human decency.

The so-called "pro-life," "pro-family" party is perfectly fine with an 18-month-old child almost dying because of the deplorable conditions at this detention center. Hello? https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/toddler-hospitalized-dilley-ice-detention-rcna257912

Textbook. If you are surprised, it is because this shit usually, at least not in the last 150 years, does not happen in the US. And the past is mild in comparison

Leading American companies — including Palantir, Deloitte, and private prison giant GEO Group — raked in over $22B from ICE and CBP contracts last year. Do not forget who is profiting from cruelty and human suffering. https://www.ft.com/content/c74170d3-237d-459c-8642-bfd71530897d

Good. Hiding the names of people asking for 10 year old girls is fucking disgusting.

This is what Hess said: “It brings up mixed emotions to represent the US right now. I think it’s a little hard. There’s obviously a lot going on that I’m not the biggest fan of. Just because I wear the flag doesn't mean I represent everything that's going on in the US.”

More than half the drugs on the TrumpRx site have a cheaper generic version on the market. Pristiq, an antidepressant, is available with a TrumpRx coupon for ~$200 for a 30-day supply. A generic version is on GoodRx for less than $30 and Mark Cuban's CostPlusDrugs for $16.65.

‘One officer told me that I "had no chance of returning to Minnesota" and that "the best thing for (me] is self-deportation." … She offered me $2600 to self-deport. I refused. I wanted to talk to my attorney. They didn't tell me the judge had already ordered my release and return to Minnesota.’

Jeff Bezos’s wealth has increased an average of $70 million every day of 2026, meaning that he could have offset The Post’s losses with what he’s made since Monday.

Gestapos opened fire, striking Martinez 5 times in the arm, chest & both legs 1 gestapo had body cam ... Martinez has said in court that it shows an officer shouting "do something b--" The gestapo who shot her, in a group text: "I fired 5 rounds & she had 7 holes. Put that in your book, boys."

I hope every Democratic member of the House and Senate reads this and factors it into whatever funding bill gets agreed to. We have seen what ICE can do to U.S. Citizens in the streets, imagine what they will do at the polls. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
