What Was the 2015 Iran Nuclear Deal?

What Was the 2015 Iran Nuclear Deal?

Trump has ridiculed Obama and the agreement, which he withdrew from during his first term. His critics say he could have avoided a war had he left it in place.

He would LOVE to get an Iran deal NEARLY AS GOOD as that one! IDIOT!

The world's largest iceberg, A23a, has completely collapsed while drifting in the Southern Ocean, according to the press service of the Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute (AARI).

Trump pardons allies who boost his crypto coin.

Trump invests in corporations that he's supposed to be regulating.

Trump cuts deals with autocrats to advance his family's real estate business.

The list goes on.

We must not become numb to this corruption.

🚨🚨BREAKING: In a huge victory for Democrats that will greatly increase their odds of winning back the House in November, Virginia voters have APPROVED the redistricting referendum.

Horrible! This is fascism!

The president is currently trying to steal 10 BILLION DOLLARS from the American people and it’s not the main news story in the country… not even close

For the record, for anyone who’s forgotten, it’s sheer madness for a president to contradict himself nearly every day. It’s profoundly wrong that we can’t trust the veracity of a single thing that he says.

Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet.
This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.

ICYMI — new HUNGARY 🇭🇺 PM Magyar says Netanyahu will be arrested if he goes to Hungary

The Iranian government’s depiction of LEGO Kash Patel is lit.

Effective 2025 federal tax rates paid by these corporations:

Alphabet: 8.01%
AT&T: 4.6%
Meta: 3.57%
General Motors: 3.09%
Amazon: 1.37%
Exxon Mobil: 1.31%
Disney: -1.57%
CVS Health: -3.88%

Income tax rate paid by the typical American: 14.5%

This is what a rigged system looks like.

I am in Barcelona today to help unite progressive parties from around the world in a defense of democracy and a war against corruption. A first of its kind event. Necessary to beat back the forces of fascism.

Ossoff: I don’t know who placed those trades, but I’ll tell you this: the SEC better find out. And if they won’t, when you elect this new majority in Congress and you give us gavels and subpoenas, we will.

Today, President Barack Obama and I read to a group of toddlers at Learning Through Play Pre-K Center in the South Bronx. 

In between singing wheels on the bus, we discussed our administration’s vision for this City — one where New York’s Cutest have the strongest start possible.

We are living in a timeline so dumb it's exhausting.

We still can't find anyone to tell us how much has been spent on the war. DOD won't tell us. The president won't tell us. His budget director won't tell us. They know the number, but they don't want the American people to know it. bsky.app/profile/atru...
