NOW: B52 bombers are literally in the air on their way to Iran and hundreds of thousands of Iranians are in the streets waving flags and surrounding bridges & power plants. Difficult to imagine this has any precedent in modern warfare. (๐ฅ Al Jazeera)

Elon Musk is now worth over $800 billion. Tesla reported paying ZERO federal income tax on $5.7 billion of U.S. income in 2025. Meanwhile, millions of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck and household debt has risen to a record high. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Your federal government on Trumpism: "More than 10,000 veterans lost their homes to foreclosure since May 2025, when the Trump administration shut down a key safety net in the VA home loan program... "Another 90,000 vets are heading toward foreclosure..."

Trump's VA killed a home loan program. Vets are now losing their homes because of it
Foreclosures on VA loans are at their highest level in a decade. VA has a fix but it is months away and could still leave vets worse off than most other homeowners.

Summary of Trump's speech:
#trump
waved the white flag and surrendered... We can't take it anymore. If youโthe rest of the worldโwant the Strait of Hormuz opened, you open it yourselves. I'm leaving. I've made a total mess of the world, but I don't care. I'm a crazy, demented old man. Bye-bye.

Just my opinion, but there should be a constitutional remedy for when the President of the United States addresses the nation and everything he says is either pure lunacy, an unhinged claim or a blatant fabrication. Just like the 25th amendment, but real.

On the first day of Holy Week, the pope invoked Isaiah to declare that God rejects the prayers of those who wage war โ with the U.S.-Israeli bombing of Iran entering its second month.

Donโt let this fly under the radar: the Trump administration wants to kick ~6 million more people off of food assistance programs, including nearly 2 million children. That would save just $1 billion a year, while Trump spends upwards of $1 billion per *day* on his new forever war. Priorities.
