Trump tariffs have finally hit wine prices in my area, up 40% (except Argentine plonk). Voters have to ask themselves how much money they have been able to earn or save over these past 18 months. In 125 days we have an opportunity to change course. #vote www.nytimes.com/2026/06/30/u...

"Strength, Loyalty, Hope" prevail over "Make Europe Great Again." Köszönöm, Magyarország. And how poetic that the winner's name is "Magyar."

With the Iranian regime unlikely to respond to threats by opening the Strait of Hormuz, the question becomes whether our military will obey orders from the US regime to commit war crimes. Fingers crossed for a TACO option. www.reuters.com/world/middle...

Whatever is in the Epstein Files is so explosive that the leaders of the Department of Justice are openly breaking the law every day to keep us from seeing it. (Just a reminder amongst all the other stuff flying around.)

From @hcrichardson.bsky.social The War Department thought it was important for Americans to understand the tactics fascists would use to take power in the United States. They would try to gain power “under the guise of ‘super-patriotism’ and ‘super-Americanism.’” open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

Last week, Boston received a letter from AG Bondi threatening to prosecute officials and withhold funds unless we cooperate with carrying out mass deportations. The US Attorney General asked for a response by today, so here it is: stop attacking our cities to hide your administration’s failures.

I read and subscribe to the @theatlantic.com, but have stopped following it here. Too many repetitive posts.

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped.” – Orwell, 1984 shorturl.at/TNndr

Hey @cnn.com, sure, war in the Middle East is big news (though hardly new). But you can’t spare a few minutes for Federal crimes in the US?

We've just launched AviList! - the new unified global taxonomic checklist for the world's birds, developed through the Working Group on Avian Classification, including BirdLife, Cornell Lab of Ornithology, IOC and others @birdlifeglobal.bsky.social @birdsoftheworld.bsky.social www.avilist.org

If you are poor and working hard to make a life for yourself and your family, we'll deport you. (Very roughly.) But give us $5 million & we'll talk. Check out the new, official government website for yourself. (And note how the regions are listed. Clearly by order of preference.) trumpcard.gov
