General Cavoli: "Ukrainians are even better at using the Patriot than the Americans. In my opinion, this is a true success story. Frankly, at first I was a little skeptical that Ukrainians would be able to master the Patriot quickly. Now we're learning from the Ukrainians."

We invaded Venezuela, kidnapped their leader and installed a puppet, and are now pillaging the country's resources just like the fascists in the 1930s did, and somehow this has already been normalized and isn't being treated as the crime it is

"Like insurgents in Iraq, Iran doesn’t need to win outright; it needs only to endure, using limited force to impose economic and strategic damage. The U.S. and Israel, in contrast, must achieve decisive gains to avoid a strategic loss." www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...

Jaw-dropping admission by DOJ to court. DOJ admits to having repeatedly made "material mistaken" representations to judge - ICE never had authority (under 2025 Guidance) to conduct arrests at immigration courthouses! DOJ admits court "relied on...prior misrepresentations." DOJ blames ICE (page 2)

🚨EXPOSED: Jim McGovern torches Mike Johnson’s claim that Republicans improved healthcare - as Trump blows BILLIONS bombing Iran: “They’re full of shit…they passed a TRILLION dollars in Medicaid cuts.” Instead of WARFARE we need HEALTHCARE! #HealthcareNotWarfare

Trump, Vance and Rubio’s candidate Orban has deployed his goon squads. This is what the US government under Trump is supporting.

Oh. So they want Obama’s nuclear deal minus Obama’s signature. Got it.

When you lose Fox “news” …

This was a good discussion on CNBC Friday about fertilizer supply. The issue for farmers isn’t about high prices for this year’s planting season — they’ve already ordered. The issue is whether they’ll get delivery on their order at all. @cnbc.com www.cnbc.com/video/2026/0...

reshare for alt text, republicans and rich people who want to privatize mail have been lying about the USPS and trying to push this narrative longer than I've been alive, and imposing massive financial burdens on it to make it "insolvent"

Paolo Zampolli, a longtime friend of Donald and Melania Trump, asked a top ICE official to have the mother of his son detained, The New York Times found. Zampolli told the official that it would help him in a custody battle. The ICE official agreed to help. nyti.ms/4bzFOPk

If opening the Strait of Hormuz is a “simple maneuver” that is “so easy to do” why haven’t we just opened it? He’s flailing. He has no idea how to extricate the US from this war. Anyway, calling NATO a paper tiger and begging for their help in the same tweet is wild.

I don't want to underplay it, but this was always going to be his play (mumbling about The Unthinkable) if things went sideways.

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026... Married to an American citizen, the mom has a social security card and a Texas drivers liscense. But you know, ICE has quotas to meet, and those billionaires who run the concentration camps need another yacht.

This is a very important report from @davidkurtz.bsky.social, who was in court for this shocking hearing today. And, Judge Gallagher has, in an order, made clear what she expects tomorrow: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

NEW: FBI Director Kash Patel struggles to answer questions on non-citizen voter fraud, or if it's even a threat.

"'It will be a mortal mistake for Democrats if they leave the 2024 cycle with this idea that we just got to go into a hole and not talk about the hard stuff. That’s the wrong lesson.'"

New: A group of federal judges today publicly denounced a rise in threats against ​them and their colleagues, including hateful messages aimed at a judge who ruled against part of President Donald Trump's ‌hardline immigration agenda. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

Wouldn’t it be ironic if the Iran war led to greater reliance on clean energy in the U.S.

NEW: Oral arguments in the law firm executive order appeals at the D.C. Circuit will be at 9:30 a.m. Thursday, May 14. We do not yet know the panel (or time allotment for arguments).

I've been tracking every ICE detention death under Trump and publishing the data publicly. Read the full breakdown, including the searchable table of all 42 deaths, at: austinkocher.substack.com/p/as-predict...

Rep. Scott Franklin (FL-18) represents this facility. Call his office: (202) 225-1252. Contact Glades County Sheriff: 863-946-1600. Demand a real investigation. Don't stop until you get one.

FRENCH NATO GEN. YAKOVLEFF: “.. [Trump] wants to share the political risk, not the military risk. .. He’ll drop us the minute it suits him. .. This isn’t the time to buy a promo ticket on the Titanic.”

Well, they are both in office desperately trying to avoid jail time, so there’s that.

Holy shit. Even for Trump this is bad. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

Japanese PM Sanae Takaichi's reaction as Trump says "Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Habour?" Undoubtedly the worst American diplomatic gaffe in post-war US-Japan history.

He’s still got it. 🤡

I am hard pressed to think of any prior President who was solely responsible for causing such immediate unambiguous, and completely foreseeable economic pain. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/03...

I avoid flying as much as I can, but on sunny days, a window seat is a remarkable privilege of modern life. Here, Rome lies before you, with St Peter's at the centre.

ICE agents detained a Texas father trying to deliver milk to his infant daughter in the neonatal intensive care unit, disregarding his status as a DACA recipient. trib.al/BOeMew3

If you're talking about the beneficial aspects of dueling you're not having a good confirmation hearing

Do I need to tap the sign again about how a functioning fascist regime wouldn’t do this

After Trump disses Starmer, Irish leader Micheál Martin jumps in to defend Starmer and encourages Trump to get along with him. Martin then pivots to defending Ukraine -- a country Trump also dissed earlier in the event.

He was certainly afraid of Vietnam-style combat in Vietnam.

It is not that Ukraine needs NATO, but NATO who needs Ukraine's help to adapt to the new reality. The quicker we realize this the sooner this war can end. They are not the beggars Trump or others say, rather the bulwark defending us against Russia. We need to stand shoulder to shoulder not behind.

“Someday military academies will teach Trump’s Glorious Iran War as a case study in armed incompetence.” @jvl.bsky.social www.thebulwark.com/p/our-low-iq...

Took a long time for people to forget that particular hot stove was hot. Tragedies ahead.

Trump is such an asshole he’s got the Irish guy defending the English guy

I think I would come up with a better line than "this war will only hurt you if you consume things," but then I'm not the director of the National Economic Council ...

NEWS: Six months before the Trump admin began bombing Iran, the Department of State fired its oil and gas experts. State’s energy division got completely DOGE’d. And with it went the people who knew how to plan for a global energy crisis.

Another lie easily fact-checked

just plainly evil.

* GERMAN DEFENCE MINISTER PISTORIUS: WHAT DOES TRUMP EXPECT FROM A HANDFUL OF EUROPEAN FRIGATES THAT THE POWERFUL US NAVY CANNOT DO? THIS IS NOT OUR WAR, WE HAVE NOT STARTED IT @reuters.com

Oh

Pentagon Planned To Avoid Civilian Deaths, Trump Scrapped It The plan was heading toward implementation until Trump officials scrapped it. In the opening days of the war with Iran, US missile strikes have killed civilians, including 175 schoolchildren. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Grassley admits Trump raised food prices with his tariffs.

Major Alex Klinner has been named by his family as the 2nd of 6 US service members killed in Thursday’s refueling operation to support the US war against Iran. He leaves behind a wife and three children. (Photos from GoFundMe set up to support the family www.gofundme.com/f/major-alex...)
