It’s funny… nexus cards were only $60 before real ID became mandatory to fly domestically. But they doubled the cost right when a standard drivers license became insufficient to fly.

Donald Trump is using taxpayer funds to bomb Iran while he jacks up health care costs by thousands of dollars.

Investing in transit is an easy win. Common sense still applies of course, spend that money efficiently, but even the worst transit investment beats the best highway expansion.

Fico is trash

Trump does whatever he can to help Putin: 1. Refuses to deliver any arms for sale to Ukraine. 2. Hikes the global oil and gas prices to Russia's benefit through his madcap war against Iran. 3. Eases oil sanctions against Russia to help financing its war against Ukraine.

Whelp, that’s not good. We don’t know who is responsible yet.

Almost nothing that appears Russian is actually Russian.

Pure antisemitism.

For those who buy Russia’s filthy oil: this is who Russia is fighting in Ukraine. This is childhood in Ukraine in 2026. We will not forget!

Wisconsin liberals have a chance next month to go up 5-2 on the state supreme court for the first time in modern history. If they succeed, they'll also block conservatives from earning a court majority through the next presidential election and until at least 2030. New preview in @boltsmag.org:

Ex-Israeli Official to Netanyahu: “Update us… what are the goals of the war? What have we achieved? Do you, your wife, your children run to the shelter during attacks? Or are you in some underground bunker that protects you from missiles… and from the wrath of the citizens?”

#AbolishICE is the moderate position.

‼️‼️‼️‼️

It’s just incredible how a known serial liar and domestic abuser can suddenly be trusted when accusing someone of abuse without any proof and when there is clear evidence they abused the person they accuse of abuse. I refuse to understand the absurd.

This shouldn’t surprise anyone. So drinking the kool aid.

Very well argued. I agree.

Everyone who understands the impact of Smoot-Hawley is saying I told you so right now.

Iran is getting assistance from Russia to target US forces. Successful distraction from the Russian Invasion of Ukraine.

Please stop prefacing every statement about Middle eastern countries except Turkey with “our partners”. The only country which could possibly be considered Middle Eastern with a defense pact with the USA is Turkey. It is our only ally in the region.

So yes, the hidden Epstein Files directly relate to Donald Trump. #EpsteinFiles

There should be no assistance to Russia after this war is over to help them rebuild. We should help Ukraine, obviously, and Russia should pay for it. Instead of rebuilding Russian oil infrastructure, build a greener future.

Just wait until they find out that all Brexiteers are "disgusting, narcissistic bullying rogue(s)"

As I predicted 3 days ago..

OK, so Iran hasn’t only attacked Turkey, they have also attacked the United Kingdom at their territory of Akrotiri and Dhekelia. That’s 2 NATO members. That’s an enormous mistake.

They’re starting to do experiments on Trans people in prisons now, and I’m certain they’ll start on the POC they have abducted. Housecleaning after this regime is going to require severe punishment to leave no doubt that it won’t happen again.

there is no absolution for a world that lets a country, suffer, fight and die alone against an enemy that threatens the whole planet

Zelensky should only help Israel and the United States in exchange for assistance to defeat Russia, sanctions compliance, weapons deliveries, and everything else Ukraine needs.

Republican senators rejected a war powers resolution that would have required the Trump administration to seek congressional approval before continuing military action against Iran.

The UN refugee agency says about 100,000 people fled Tehran in the first 2 days of the war. Around 2000 vehicles per day have been leaving the city, mostly heading north. So far, no increase in people crossing international borders has been reported. (AP)

It doesn’t really matter what Trump and Netanyahu did. Türkiye was not involved in this war, but that wasn’t enough for Iran. This is Article V. You don’t attack NATO members.

It’s looking increasingly likely that Kristi Noem and Lewandowski funneled almost 200 million in government money to a company that is run by her friend and that nobody can give an address for. Oh, and it was 8 days old when it was awarded the contract.

Authoritarians learned from the Marshall Plan that they must continue the pressure to prevent countries from becoming democratic forever, otherwise tyrants inevitably will fall and seek alliances with the United States.

This is what the Russian-Iranian alliance has done to Ukraine every day for over 3 years. This is just one reason why the Ukrainians I follow have no sympathy for the Ayatollah, and neither should you.

The road to democracy from a dictatorship as bad as Iran has been is long and hard. But other countries have made the transition from far worse places. The best way to ensure Iran stabilizes is to support them through this transition period.

Trump doesn’t give a DAMN about the people of Iran.

Words of a bully.

Former GOP Rep. Mayra Flores, who was accused of stealing food images and claiming them as her own, lost her primary last night.

Scientific American has updated the figure, now grouped into swimmers, fliers, walkers/runners, and vehicles. A person on a bicycle remains the most efficient way to travel, compared to all forms of biological locomotion and mechanical transport. www.scientificamerican.com/article/a-hu...

🇵🇱🇺🇦 War in Iran distracts attention from Ukraine and reduces the amount of available weapons, - Polish FM Sikorski 💬A huge number of cruise missiles and anti-missile weapons are currently being used, and what was used will definitely not be available for transfer or even sale to Ukraine.

Last night was huge for Democrats. James Talarico wins the Texas primary North Carolina cleaned house: bad Dems out, progressive Dems in

In the heart of the largest metropolitan area of the United States, the main arterial that leads to Manhattan, the financial capital of the planet, I-78 is an extremely important highway near my neighborhood. It carries around 5000 vehicles per day during rush hour. That’s it. Only 5000.

youtube.com/watch?v=D_iT... Donald Trump promised to protect American farmers with tariffs but instead of protection, it resulted in higher fertilizer costs and lower grain prices, severely impacting farm finances. .

Shouldn’t Trump bring Saudi Arabia and Iran to the table for a peace agreement instead of closing the skies over the Gulf?

TRUMP ON RUSSIA AND UKRAINE: "There is this tremendous hatred between Putin and Zelenskyy. I've seen a lot of hatred in my life, but I think this is about top scale." Putin hates us because we refuse to die quietly. Zelenskyy hates Putin for trying to murder us all and erase our state.

The big grift

So… why not Putin?

I would ask why you think Iran is more fragile than, say the Islamic State or the Taliban.

After 30+ years, thousands of lives and trillions of wasted dollars, most Americans know this much. Stay the hell out of the Middle East. Watching the most delusional and incompetent administration in our lifetimes try to convince us otherwise, would be comical if it wasn’t dangerous.
