“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed...This is not a way of life...it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.” -Dwight Eisenhower 1953

Well would you look at that

Kristi Noem’s firing couldn’t happen fast enough. But unless the policy of terrorizing our immigrant communities changes, I’m not voting to give them a penny.

Trump says, regarding gas prices, “if they rise, they rise” and I’m pretty sure he’ll also say “if they die, they die.”

"Creator God, you are the true source of life. I thank and praise you for your steadfast presence in my life and for hearing my prayers. When I need help, I know I can turn to you, trusting in your constant love and care. In your holy name, I pray. Amen."

Noem’s husband is there. You would think she would immediately and strongly deny it if it wasn’t true. But she didn’t deny it. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

So we’re just going to forget all about this and never ask Trump, Leavitt or Hegseth about it again after the first day because this is totally normal so who cares.

Trump claims (without any evidence) that Iran would have had a nuke in two weeks if he hadn’t dropped his Epstein Distraction Bombs. The cult:

Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. But right now, they’re under attack. Several Republican-controlled states have redrawn their congressional maps to give themselves an unfair advantage in the midterm elections.

Shame him!!!! #Iran #Epstein #EpsteinFiles

When US foreign policy is in the hands of the dumbest American.

Ooof!

Pay attention to the verbs. Pay attention to who gets named. Pay attention to who “says” and who “did.” That’s how perception is shaped - not with blatant lies, but with careful framing.

Pam.I just checked the DOW.Below 50,000 & falling. What's your snarky evasive non answer gonna be this time? Most likely:"But we killed Khoweini !" Ya that'll bring justice to the Epstein survivors.Maybe it's time for Congress to bring justice,& impeach Bondi.Problem is,that would require courage...

Of all the horrible, corrupt and incompetent things Kristi Noem has done that would get any other Cabinet secretary fired, the thing that now seems likely to result in her termination is the unpardonable MAGA sin of blaming Trump for her corruption when she got caught.

Morning Y'all. The price of gas has risen by 40 cents.

Everything going on is just too much for me right now. It’s all too much. Trying to remember to breathe. But that’s not helping much. Avoiding the news. Well, okay but the horrible people and acts being committed don’t just disappear bc I close my eyes. The intensity of everything is too much.

A cartoon from the 1950’s that’s more relevant than ever 💔

I haven’t forgotten the Epstein Files and the reality the current usurper in the White House raped children and laundered money, resulting in being blackmailed by multiple foreign governments to do their bidding. I hope you don’t forget it, either.

Susan Collins and congressional Republicans now want Americans to pay many billions more for Trump’s Iran war. This immediately after DOD got a massive 20% increase in their budget a few months ago.

This is a marvelous change not only for the Humpback whale 🐋 population but for all of us. We need to keep our gentle giants from going extinct. Fifty years after New Zealand stopped whaling, humpback population showing signs of recovery | RNZ News share.google/X1HB3JFgaePK...

I'm shocked .. a bloke with the IQ of a gnat .. who lies continuously.. has been caught in yet another lie .. #DistractionWar.. anyone seen the #Unredacted #TrumpsteinFiles & willing to dump the lot online?

I am now in my 55th year of being an imminent millionaire.

NEW: When asked if top aide Corey Lewandowski has “a role in approving contracts,” DHS Secretary Kristi Noem replied, “No.” But internal DHS records contradict her testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee. By @josh-kaplan.bsky.social @justinelliott.bsky.social

Syngenta just announced it's gonna stop producing paraquat, which I thought was a throwback to '70s Mexican weed before learning that US growers still use it. Syngenta, btw, was the subject of a wild story with one of my favorite headlines. See addendum to this post.

They have been JUST ABOUT TO BE A THREAT TO US for half a century!

He was talking about his ballroom drapes after they were killed.

It’s so amazing that America got so much comedy mileage out of the Iraqi spokesman they called “Comical Ali” during the Gulf War, and a generation later the American news media dutifully repeats flopsweaty dishonest statements from the President about the current war that are just as desperate

The Trump administration is ignoring hard evidence, even from Fox News, that the Administration did not adequately prepare for a war with Iran. I asked a simple question: Do our servicemembers have what they need to stay safe? Still no real answer.

They may have killed Iran's supreme leader, but they haven't killed the Epstein Files.

KLOBUCHAR: Alex Pretti's parents said what you said was one of the most hurtful things they could imagine. Do you want to say anything to Alex's parents? NOEM: I did not call him a 'domestic terrorist.' I said it 'appeared to be an incident of' KLOBUCHAR: I think the parents saw it for what it was

WHY WASN'T THERE A PLAN TO GET AMERICANS OUT OF THE MIDDLE EAST PEDO: It happened so quickly Rubio: Israel forced our hand LATER: PEDO: I forced Israel's hand SOOOOOO ... PEDO KNEW WHEN THEY WERE GOING TO BOMB IRAN ... AND HAD NO EXIT STATEGY?🤔 ISRAEL GOT US INTO A WAR PEDO FOLLOWED ORDERS💯

That’s a lot.

“Gracious God, be with all people who need healing today. Stretch forth your loving and healing hand, surround them with your peaceful presence, and ease their pain and suffering. Amen.”

You couldn't make this shit up.

I’ve heard from WA potato farmers that export markets like China and even British Columbia are essentially gone. China and India are now in the potato business, and the competition from them is growing. Meanwhile President Trump’s tariffs are putting us on the sidelines.

8 if you count the invasion of L.A, Portland, Minneapolis -- not bombing in the traditional sense, of course. But nothing is traditional at the moment.

It's sad that when Kennedy switched from Dem to Republican he decided that he had to play a foolish country bumpkin to appeal to the MAGA mob, because he is actually really smart when he drops the schtick.

Spain: We will help our citizens evacuate the Middle East, and its in process. UK: We are chartering flights to get our citizens out of the Middle East. US: Our citizens are on their own. Figure out a commercial option on your own dime.

"The things that will DESTROY US are: POLITICS WITHOUT PRINCIPLES; PLEASURE WITHOUT CONSCIENCE; WEALTH WITHOUT WORK; knowledge without character; BUSINESS WITHOUT MORALITY; SCIENCE WITHOUT HUMANITY; and worship without sacrifice." ~ Mahatma Gandhi

So now we learn from Republicans that when you bomb a country for a week, sink their entire Navy, and kill their military and political leadership, that is not an act of war. Maybe they can just go with Putin’s term - Special Military Operation.

How quickly they forget their own heroes......

The new leader of Iran…we don’t want him. They can have him.
