Trump sent ICE agents to airports after refusing to go along with a deal that would have funded the TSA. If you thought that was the only way Trump was making flying even more miserable, you'd be wrong. Watch.

Lyse Doucet BBC Chief international correspondent “Trump keeps searching for his Iranian version of Venezuela's Delcy Rodriguez – a powerful but pragmatic player whom he can bend to his will. That won't happen in Iran's multi-layered system of clerics and commanders… #uspoli #iran #war #oilprice

Exactly 5 minutes BEFORE Trump announced a 5-day delay in bombing Iranian power plants, someone purchased $1.5 billion worth of S&P futures in a single trade. Someone also sold $192 million in oil futures. Trump and/or his cronies are engaging in market manipulation and insider trading.

If you’re unable to schedule an MRI later this year, blame Trump. 😡

“The largest drivers were a $2 trillion increase in federal debt” If the $88.4 trillion in 75-year off-balance-sheet obligations were added to the $47.8 trillion in official balance sheet liabilities, total federal obligations would now exceed $136.2 trillion — roughly five times U.S. annual GDP.

Reopening the Strait has emerged as the main objective of the war—an issue that was caused by the war.

Now western car manufacturers are making what one former boss calls a “profound strategic mistake” as they pull back from electric vehicles (EVs) and refocus on the combustion engine just as oil prices are soaring again. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Read part of a statement from AFGE’s president, the union for TSA agents. ICE is not helping TSA. It is creating more unnecessary chaos and confusion.

They will cut down old growth, ancient trees, with no public hearing. Thirty days to stop it. Act now

The real story… under any other president this would be jail time…

Trump lies again to manipulate #oilprice & #wallstreet falls for it again. Manipulating #themarket over & over every Monday, like it is an #insidertrading game. #uspoli #magaconsequences #kakistocracy

Probably just a coincidence

Overstatement aside... "People who have the most education—college graduates and postgrads—are least likely to support Mr Trump." www.economist.com/interactive/...

Hard to believe, but in March 2022 Pete Hegseth criticized the Biden administration for not "equipping and supplying Ukraine with what it needs" fast enough to "bog down and push back" Putin, who "wants the Soviet Union back, Ukraine back, and Kyiv back."

"Back when the science community used to deny climate change... Human caused climate change was looked skeptically for decades.... then the fact driven data forced all honest science literate skeptics to concede ..." www.facebook.com/groups/96164... via The Climate Realism Community

This is an excellent summary of the US War on Iran current situation. I’m an existentialist and borderline absurdist and even I struggle with the current moment. This summary is just fantastic.

At least four people were reportedly injured in the incident and an FAA advisory warned that operations at the airport could be impacted till Monday afternoon.

Dude is Nostradamus when it comes to predicting his own administration’s failures.

TIM DILLON: “The people pushing this war have done more to diminish 🇺🇸’s standing in the world than anyone I’ve ever seen. Our government is completely dysfunctional, and everybody knows it. This isn’t how an empire projects power — this is how empires fall.”

So it turns out Reform are laundering their donations through crypto, before converting them into cash, hiding the original source of the money. So who is really funding Nigel Farage and Reform UK? observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

Forcing Ukrainian students in Russian-occupied territories to join the Russian army if they fail an exam is another example of Russia’s militarization of Ukrainian youth, Taya Avram, a lawyer within the Donbas SOS NGO, told the Kyiv Independent on March 20.

We did this with tariffs. Now we’re doing this with war. And some insiders are making a fortune off the chaos.

MAGAs are an example of what happens when lost souls who lack critical thinking skills are manipulated to follow and even worship the most evil among us. Forensic Psychiatrist Dr Bandy X Lee explains it as “shared psychosis www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-...

I somehow missed this. UNBELIEVABLE.

He warned us he would run our country like his businesses.

Aid to Ukraine from 2022-2026 was a rounding error. We used more in the first two weeks of the Iran war than we provided in the 4 years of aid to Ukraine.

Ossoff: "After years of this president trashing our allies, we learned today that the Danish govt was preparing military options to defeat a potential American invasion of Greenland just months ago. The president has treated our allies like they don't matter then demanded they come to his aid."

I have to ask, 100s of Arab journalists were deliberately targeted and killed by Zionists for refusing to spread Hasbara Propaganda What makes white, Western journalists any safer from Zionists targets?

U.S. President Netanyahu today is telling us we need to be ready to send ground troops into Iran. Because you can do lots from the air, you just can't fix everything. I sure hope he implements free childcare, healthcare and college in the states the way they've got it on the mainland in Israel.

it took nearly a year and a half but the head of MAPLE MAGA has finally weighed in on the threats and insults against our sovereignty. Quelle surprise.

So while Pierre is in Texas rubbing elbows with the worst of the worst(trump supporter's) & taking time to hang out in their lame podcasts....Canadians living in Texas are being taken by ice including their children with autism....Is this the "love" he's talking about!!! #canpoli

The Iran War has already cost tens of billions of dollars, and the price tag is only going to rise. Now the Pentagon says they want $200 billion more to spend. But caring what something costs is just for social programs. My latest at Public Notice: www.publicnotice.co/p/trump-war-...

Oil disruption benefits Russia, as does less U.S. aid for Ukraine. And Iran distracts from China, argues CFR expert Max Boot for The Washington Post. "It’s too soon to tell who will win the war between the United States and Iran. But, at this point, my money would be on Russia and China."

Powell: "The thing a good number of people on the committee are concerned about is very very low level of job creation. If you adjust the trend job creation over the past 6 months for what we think is overstatement due to overcounting, effectively there is 0 net job creation in the private sector"

Joe Kent in 2024: “We cannot get sucked into a foolish war w/Iran. China & Russia will only gain, we'll only bleed resources desperately needed to protect our nation.”

People just want to be able to go to the hospital without going bankrupt. www.businessinsider.com/robot-dogs-q...

Exclusive: The Pentagon asked the White House to approve a more than $200 billion request to Congress to fund the war in Iran, according to an administration official, a new ask that will likely run into resistance from lawmakers opposed to the conflict.

this is interesting reporting but i think it’s worth pointing out that even if ai were to blame, humans would still be to blame www.semafor.com/article/03/1...

I agree with Rick Wilson. Exposure is Trump's greatest threat, and it takes only one chamber of the Congress to do it. www.rawstory.com/donald-trump...

It’s called the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. It’s not called the Straight of Hormuz, or the Persian Gulf, or the Arabian Sea Treaty Organization. Trump says he doesn’t need NATO, but Trump isn’t fighting a war in the North Atlantic countries of Europe or North America. Ukraine is though.
