Donald lies about everything—even the Oscars. Michael Jackson's This Is It earned over $267 million. Michael Moore’s Fahrenheit 9/11 made over $200 million. In contrast, the flop Melania grossed only $15.4 million, failing to recoup its $75 million in costs.

I regret to inform America that this was just posted by the HHS Secretary.

DOGE whistleblower shared that 500M Americans had their Social Security breached. Our Social Security numbers, our place of birth, our citizenship status, our race & ethnicity & our parents’ names. The biggest breach in US history. Donald Trump’s crimes against United States citizens. DESPICABLE!😡🤬

Your regular reminder that Elon Musk is a psychopathic dork. Not a new post from him, just something I was recently reminded of.

Democracy requires more than voting every few years or sending the occasional donation. Stopping fascism means we must organize. I am excited to share a new (FREE) tool called Sway that is increasing voter turnout by 20%. It is game changing. Check it out here: www.qasimrashid.com/p/how-to-tur...

The Europeans MUST not help Trump in his unjustified war. The best Trump can do is to declare victory & go home, although the Ayatollahs will also declare victory & unfortunately more truly so. The Europeans need to tell Trump: Go home! This war must stop! /11

If anything, Trump's war on Iran has reinforced the hold on the country by the extremist theocrats, just as Saddam Hussein ruled Iraq from 1991-2003. Trump has seriously damaged the world economy with high energy prices, higher inflation, less growth & high interest rates. /10

After having repeatedly declared that the US did not need any support from its former allies, Trump suddenly asked them to help the US with opening the Hormuz Strait. France said no. The UK, Japan, South Korea & China appear not to have responded. /9

Trump has persistently insulted European countries, even warning them of "civilizational erasure," while supporting extreme rightwing movements in Europe. Ukraine offered assistance with drone interceptors. While the US accepted it, Trump insulted Zelensky again. /8

The US did not inform or consult any allies other than Israel about its war of aggression. The Gulf states (foolishly) thought they were neutral, although they all had US military bases. The Europeans & East Asians were simply out of it. Now they suffer from high oil prices. /7

For US consumers, it is of no significance that the US trade little with the Gulf. US gas prices rise with the global oil price and it has risen by almost $1 per gallon, since the US started bombing. The US war has hiked energy prices, inflation & interest rates. /6

4. The Gulf states will suffer a real catastrophe if Iran bombs its big desalination plants that provide them with 60% of their water. The US & Israel have already bombed an Iranian desalination plant. /5

The Gulf states are steeling themselves for more big blows: 1. Their exports of oil, LNG, fertilizers & aluminum will be blocked. 2. Their 80% imports of food etc through the Hormuz Strait have stopped. 3. Their 90% expats & many more tourists will run away. /4

ranian drones hitting Qatar, Abu Dhabi & Dubai have made clear that these alleged havens for money launderers & tax cheats are no longer safe. They are likely to suffer the same reputational decline as Kuwait after Iraq's invasion, 1990-91. Don't go to such unsafe places! /3

The only US achievement appears to have been the destruction of most of Iran's navy. In return, Iran has bombed 9 countries with US bases & blocked transportation through the Hormuz Strait. Oil prices have skyrocketed to $103/barrell & are likely to stay high. /2

Trump's unprovoked war against Iran appears more disastrous by the day. According to the the Omanis, the Iranians were ready to accept a stricter nuclear control agreement and limit its ballistic missiles, when the US attacked. Now these two goals might be out or reach. /1

Exclusive: Brendan Carr's latest warning to local TV station license-holders didn't come out of nowhere. It came out of Mar-a-Lago. Carr was at the president's Palm Beach resort on Saturday and was seen talking with Trump there 👇🏼👉🏼 cnn.it/4rDZaZD

The Frankenstein director tells WIRED the real Victor Frankensteins are tyrannical politicians and Silicon Valley tech bros.

Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski says she opposes the Trump-backed SAVE Act: ....“In rural states like Alaska it's gonna disenfranchise an extraordinary majority…”

Forget the "MAGA split" (or lack thereof) on Iran. It's the independents and soft partisans that matter. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/forget-the...

Zelensky says US bases need Ukraine's interceptor drone technology, calling it "our technology," and notes Middle East partners fired over 800 Patriot missiles in the first 24-36 hours of attacks, more than Ukraine received across the entire war. #Ukraine

I’m not saying the US president invaded Iran to help his buddy Putin, but here are all the ways it helps Russia: 1. With oil over $100 a barrel, that’s an extra $150 million a day to Russia’s coffers. 2. That’s more money to try to crush Ukraine.

⚡️Russia rebuffs French proposal for European role in Ukraine peace negotiations, FT reports.

Euromaidan Press made a scorecard how Trump's war against Iran is affecting Ukraine. It's mostly bad...

We have been complete idiots for not doing enough to help Ukraine over the last four years. The longer we wait to act, the more expensive and deadly this will become. It is not too late to fix this, but we desperately need to step up right now

“In Iran, I fear we may be retreating even further from the principles we once proclaimed, loosening the shackles that civilized nations place on themselves to protect our shared humanity,” our columnist Nicholas Kristof writes.

This is one of the reasons why I launched Blue26.org.

"I ASSUMED the US Military had an active plan to open the Strait." How can people who are paid to understand geopolitics be so bafflingly naive?

I don’t think this shit will work but i never want to hear about free speech from any trumpers or anti anti trumpers ever again, fuck off forever bsky.app/profile/cram...

If you wanna be outraged about any of Trump's currency plans, be mad that his treasury has drafted a one-dollar coin with Trump's face on it, which of course, is against all modern traditions and maybe is illegal. (Some Dems in Congress are trying to pass a law to prevent it from happening)

WATCH: Trump’s buddy Laura Loomer gets called out for being “brazenly racist” to her face in India 🔥

Video clips of these fascist mediocrities getting called out for their evil is going to be one of the great moral pleasures of the next few decades.

How many ways can you say “We used ChatGPT” without actually saying “We used ChatGPT”?

I've been seeing posts about this and was curious, so I looked into it a bit. It's true, the olive branch has been removed for the 250th anniversary of the country. I find that an interesting change given what's going on. www.newsweek.com/us-mint-unve...

I remember when the president spoke at Davos virtually right after the inauguration last year, he had a background with the eagle’s head turned toward the arrows.

The U.S. Mint dropped the olive branch from the dime. What does that mean for the country?

Putin's errand boy completing his daily rounds.

Meanwhile, Brendan Carr, Chairman of trhe Federal Communications Commission, continues with "nice licence you have there..."

This Trump tweet is a work of art and needs to be kept for posterity. It turns out that the US has destroyed 100% of Iran’s military capability. Yet, to combat a military with no capability he is left pleading with allies he has regularly insulted to save him in the Gulf.

If we made the green energy transition this war would be unthinkable and these authoritarians wouldn’t be in power — not in the US, not in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia, not in Russia. Hydrocarbons are killing our freedom and just plain killing us.

Never fund DHS again. Abolish it completely. If someone wants to moan about "but but we have to ____" yeah fine we can discuss a new department, but *this* department has to go.

TUCKER: “The Republican Party as constituted will not continue— it doesn’t represent its voters. It’s a bicycle with square wheels… the ugliest thing to come out of it is trying to stoke religious conflict, attacking people for being a different religion.” (cc: Pinocchiogles)

Department of Homeland Security leaders removed top privacy officers who objected to mislabeling government records to block their public release, WIRED has learned.

It’s gonna be a pretty solid weekend if social media is flooded with clips of Laura Loomer getting her ass handed to her in-person by Indian journalists. Shout-out to Rajdeep Sardesai for kicking off the festivities.

“.. The president said several countries have committed to helping secure the strait, but declined to name any of them.” @nbcnews.com www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

Absolute--blood-curdling--truth.

By threatening to deny the license of any broadcast news company that does not tow the Trump line, Carr is publicly announcing that the goal of the Trump Administration is to rip up the Constitution to install an authoritarian government.
