Trump: “If Iran doesn’t FULLY OPEN, WITHOUT THREAT, the Strait of Hormuz, within 48 HOURS from this exact point in time, the United States of America will hit and obliterate their various POWER PLANTS, STARTING WITH THE BIGGEST ONE FIRST! Thank you for your attention to this matter.”

Hey Congress, are you up? Please impeach him immediately. Like get the ball rolling on Monday.

E. Jean Carroll provides just the shot in the arm (kick in the pants?) we all need to keep moving and do what needs to be done as the Trump era strains personal relationships, not just politics. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

These are some demented people, man

Are we certain that he died by suicide? Is this coming from a set of authorities who call every murder a suicide?

When does the punishment begin for Noem?

Donald Trump said yesterday that people with dyslexia are “dumb” and “unfit.” Trump is a bully. He’s an asshole. And he’s wrong. When I interviewed @gavinnewsom.bsky.social recently, he spoke about his struggles with dyslexia openly and honestly. This is the way leaders speak. x.com/jojofromjerz...

Lieu: "I want the White House to send Kevin Hassett to every single TV channel and to every single swing House district where he can tell the voters of America that hurting consumers is 'the last of our concerns.'"

1. Trump launches a war against Iran. 2. Putin helps Iran track down and kill American service members. 3. Trump rewards Putin by lifting sanctions on Russian oil. If Donald Trump isn’t a Russian agent, he’s going out of his way to make people think he is.

Sit & Talk - US Fueling plane down in Iraq - no collision, US says, no missile, US Says, did it spontaneously combust, 50k troops in the war that Mr. T says is complete, USS Ford on fire, mines in the water, oil ships in straits, more - youtu.be/9JkzhSEIcR8?...

Sen. CORNYN: I don’t get how the SAVE Act disenfranchises. Sen. DURBIN: Happy to explain. Drivers licenses don’t work. 50% of Americans don’t have passports. Cornyn: Amend it? Durbin: When’s the last time the Senate amended a bill?

“Individuals nominated to the federal bench are not precluded from judicial office simply because they previously exercised their First Amendment rights." * goose meme * previously exercised their First Amendment rights how? exercised how, motherfucker?

Highest number of civilian deaths in a single attack by the American military in decades. Nine times the number of children killed at Sandy Hook. Nine times. Donald is the mass shooter.

it took just over a year to get from "I'll lower costs on day one" to "I'm raising prices and it's good, actually"

Soviet style problems

A fun thing about LinkedIn right now is that people who have the words “AI researcher” in their profile are cautioning against the technology while people with the words “AI content creator” are super excited about it

Republican leadership still hasn't condemned Ogles for his streak of genocidal anti-Muslim comments. This is who they are. Also, Democratic leadership hasn't called for him or Randy Fine to be censured.

It's so bad that we've reached a point where members of Congress casually discuss stripping citizenship from and deporting people because they don't like their views.

Johnson: I think what we are learning from the Epstein files was a well-coordinated act of treason. If you think about how they use blackmail to get policymakers to act outside of the best interests of this nation and our Constitution, that’s treason.

Fox News went nuts when Obama saluted service members while holding a cup of coffee, their reaction to something like this would register on the Richter Scale.

I’m sorry, doing this in a baseball cap sold by your campaign store is deliberately disrespecting the dead.

Was browsing the Eisenhower Library site this morning trying to find a quote I remembered. President Eisenhower, WW2 military hero: “In my opinion, there is no such thing as a preventive war… none has yet explained how war prevents war.”

BREAKING: DC Circuit, on a 2-1 vote, keeps in place a lower court order blocking DHS Sec. Noem’s effort to end Haiti temporary protected status designation. Judges Pan and Garcia deny DOJ’s request to stay the district court order. Judge Walker would have granted it. Haiti TPS is safe for now.

This is definitely a good opportunity. Right @schumer.senate.gov? You definitely won’t squander this golden opportunity, right Chuck? …right?

Now Senate can put hold on Mullin until Dems DHS demands are met

The Department of Justice (DOJ) is attempting to short-circuit state bar ethics investigations into department attorneys through a new and unexpected proposed rule. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

I’m really struggling to imagine Congress without Rep Jasmine Crockett next year. We need more fighters, not fewer.

NANCY MACE: What is a woman? Have you learned that lesson? WALZ: I'm the governor of Minnesota. I'm not here to be a prop for your obsession.

Raskin: Based on what you know today, were Renee Good and Alex Pretti domestic terrorists? Noem: What happened was an absolute tragedy. Raskin: Were they domestic terrorists? Noem: My condolences to their families Raskin: You lied about them.

NOEM: Our federal detention centers are held to the highest standards in comparison to other detaining facilities McBATH: Did you just hear me? He has to crawl through mold and feces and bodily fluids just to take a shower. This is absolute lunacy and you know it.

Pro-tip to American voters: never ever give all branches of government to one party or their leader. Always aim for split government. Thanks to having one leader & one party calling the shots, America might never attain the status it had before the orange moronic felon. He’s truly screwing America.

US military launches operation in Ecuador to combat drug trafficking

Welp—Kash Patel Fired Entire Team of Iran Experts Right Before Trump’s War. They were let go during a purge of people who investigated Donald Trump for allegedly mishandling classified documents. 🤦🏻‍♂️ newrepublic.com/post/207263/kash-patel-fired-iran-experts-donald-trump-war

JUST IN: Democrat Alex Holladay has flipped a GOP-held seat in *Arkansas*. Republican Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders tried hard to delay this race and wanted the seat to stay vacant for 8+ months, but the courts told her to hold it today. If she was worried, she was right to be. Our full recap:

Chris Murphy: "It's just so disgusting to listen to the president be waxing poetically about the drapes he's buying while there are six Americans who are dead. There are six families who are about to bury their children because of a war of choice that no one in this country wanted, an illegal war."

A former member of President George W. Bush's administration had nothing good to say about Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's press conference on Monday, claiming he failed to answer any important questions and just showed up to posture.

Following a white man to war because you disliked the sound of a black woman laughing will go down in American history as one of the dumbest acts of self-sabotage ever.

CNN put together a montage of the regime's incoherent talking points about Trump's war on Iran

Modern tyranny is terror management. I wrote this essay in April 2025 and updated it in November. I'm posting it again now because my fear of this scenario has continued to grow. "The Next Terrorist Attack: And What Comes After" snyder.substack.com/p/the-next-t...

John Roberts has created “immunity” as this thing that can be tossed around. If Iranian soldiers are defending themselves they commit no crime. If they have committed war crimes, Americans can’t “immunize” them.

Trump attacked in the middle of Ramadan

I know this feels pointless but everyone has to call their congressional reps and say they oppose war with Iran and they oppose Trump illegally starting one without congressional approval — both congresscalllist.com

He is definitely right...

Rep Jason Crow (D-CO): “I went to war three times for this country and learned that when elites in Washington bang the war drums, working class folks pay the price. The tough talk of a five-time draft dodger falls flat for Americans tired of military adventurism”

NEW: Trump launches a "massive" war on Iran—with no apparent plans for what comes next. This is what Bush and Cheney did with Iraq two decades ago. It's deja vu all over again. As the missiles fly, I look back at what that dangerous folly can tell us about this one.

The first deaths announced from the US-Israeli strikes on Iran: dozens of school girls. They hit an elementary school in Hormozgan.

You can just say things.
