Trump: "We have the right to stop all business with a certain country, the President has the right, without going to Congress - I could today stop everything have to do with Spain. All business - I can do anything I want with it." Scott Bessent, literally shaking, pees his pants.

The Great Moron-in-Chief explains it all.

Maybe it’s a bad idea to put people in charge of government who are eager for the rapture.

The death toll from the Iran school tragedy has hit 148, mostly children aged 7–12, with 95 others wounded. A staggering, unforgivable loss that defines our current moral decay.

"Multiple women alleged to prosecutors that they were sexually assaulted by high-profile associates of Jeffrey Epstein, according to the recently released Epstein files. None of the men were charged."

WTF? We are not angry enough.

Banning books wasn’t enough for Trump. Now he’s coming for public libraries. For decades, public libraries in communities all across the country – like our own beloved Brooklyn Public Library – have been providing passport application services.

Devastating.

Corporate Media destroy Biden over US military deaths in necessary & overdue withdrawal from Afghanistan (his approval numbers never recovered) but sits there and laughs with Trump as he talks about drapes as US military dies over Iran in war of choice that he has not even bothered to justify to US.

The key to getting mainstream media on board with an illegal war is making them feel like an important part of it.

This is a war almost 40 years in the making. Trump said in *1987* that the US should attack "horrible, horrible" Iran, "and take over some of their oil." In the years since, Trump talked about seizing oil from Venezuela, Iraq, Syria, Kuwait, and Libya. www.businessinsider.com/trump-energy...

You cannot talk like this about any other minority in America. And if it was any other president’s adviser who said something like this about any other minority, it’d be the instant end of their presidency.

The death of four American service members is a great loss for our country. My heart is with the loved ones they left behind and those recovering from their injuries. Incredibly grateful to all those who serve our great nation.

Just want to reiterate that the former co-host of the weekend version of Fox News' morning talk show is now the man in charge of our national defense and leading this war.

Of course. No one wanted this war. They wanted food and health care and energy prices to go down. Now all those things will cost more. It's a war of folly by a doddering old man who likes when things blow up and needs to distract us from the child sex ring he's connected to.

In case you're wondering how some sectors of the Christian right are seeing Trump's war in Iran, I've just read several articles seeing a prophetic meaning in a coincidence of Trump's strikes, the assassination of Khameni, and a blood moon occurring on Purim (tomorrow).

"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.

Just resharing this.

Alex's mom on his 38th birthday.

Take two minutes to watch this piece with NYT photojournalist Kenny Holston, the only news photographer on the House floor during Trump’s State of the Union speech. There’s one shot in particular that will likely end up in the history books. See if you catch which one.

Caught Representative Randy Weber, Texas Republican, throwing up a double-handed White Power sign. #Texas This you?

But they said he was “The peace president.” 🥴

Sociopath

This is how Trump’s ambassador to the UN responded to news that three U.S. service members were killed and multiple others injured

I can't even.

FIFA Peace Prize Winner: "WE WILL HIT THEM WITH A FORCE THAT HAS NEVER BEEN SEEN BEFORE"

Spot the difference…

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Death toll in US-Israeli strike on girls' school in southern Iran rises to 40 killed, state-run IRNA news agency reports.

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.

In Tehran, panicked residents rushed home to shelter and terrified children poured out of classrooms as U.S. air strikes hit the capitol. n.pr/4l0tKuA

During his campaign for president Donald J. Trump repeatedly said he would not start any new wars. He specifically said he wouldn't start another never ending war in the Middle East. I guess he lied or didn't really mean it.

Really don't understand how this isn't a bigger scandal. This is conspiracy to commit federal witness tampering (and likely witness murder) for the purpose of covering up a foreign government's deal with organized crime, a deal that has been affirmed by the DOJ.

In case you’re just waking up, the U.S. has teamed up with Israel overnight to start an illegal war of regime change, apparently on a presidential whim with no involvement of Congress, and they are already committing horrific atrocities.

There is no amount of money in the world that would lead me to fight a Vietnamese refugee that grew up in Louisiana (Also I really want to try a Korean style Po’ Boy)

First he said he was “entitled” to 5 more House seats. Now he says he’s “entitled” to a 3rd term. No one is entitled to power in America. Donald Trump is a threat to our Constitution.

@hillaryclinton.bsky.social: "I don't understand why it's so difficult for the press to have a consistent narrative about how dangerous Trump is."

Former presidents are just like us. Joe Biden got stuck in delays Friday while flying commercially from Reagan National Airport. https://to.pbs.org/4s98u8q

This is amazing. www.getyourfuckingmoneyback.com

I regret to inform you that the Secretary of Defense is an idiot

This should worry all of us. Trump doesn’t care about safe and secure elections, he just cares about himself and his power.

If you’re wondering why the Trump Administration is cutting off health care for people across our state - look no further than the President’s own words: “retribution is coming”

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?

crying in the club* (*at my desk) bc stanley tucci took the USA women's hockey team out for a meal at his favorite restaurant and they gave him his own jersey

This should be a front-page scandal.

Granddad really isn't up to running the shop any more.

It is difficult to overstate how quickly & thoroughly & shamefully we have normalized “the president can use federal funding as a cudgel to punish blue states & only blue states on his whim” in our polity & society. Yet another thing that would have ended any other presidency in the modern era.
