Slotkin: "If Russia is helping to kill US forces, we have crossed a rubicon. We have to take decisive action on that. Instead, we're giving them breaks on oil. They're making a ton of money."
The President is lying to the public:
1) For the past century, the federal government has been responsible for the Potomac Interceptor – not Maryland. The sewage pipe is on federal land.

NEW: ICE has raided dormitories at the Dilley concentration camp to confiscate letters from children per @pabloreports.bsky.social. I have filed a FOIA request for them. @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social: the second we get anything, we will send it to you. 1/ www.muellershewrote.com/p/new-ice-co...
The US is now responsible for the governance of Venezuela. Toppling the regime of a smaller country is always the easy part. The hard part is what comes after. Neo-cons always expect a pro-US nirvana. It rarely works out. But I suppose the oil companies can seize some assets.
So we’re just announcing foreign strikes and kidnappings of foreign leaders on social media now? No Congress. No explanation.
This is madness.
Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation.
I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.
Strange takes on Mayor Zamdani swearing his oath on the Qu’ran. It has nothing to do with church & state. The point of the oath is for the person swearing in to do so upon some text that is sacred TO THEM. Some Presidents swore in w/o any book. John Quincy Adams was sworn on a law book. His choice.
Off to a good start
Solar events have been at a high since activity on the sun’s surface reached a “solar maximum” in October 2024.
Dementia Don with his weekly test results.
Test results summary: He crayoned mostly inside the lines and was able to tell the difference between Stephen Miller and a hyena (on the third try).
Given how often he posts about this, it seems less like reassurance for others and more like he’s trying to convince himself that he passed the cognitive exam.
Canada: Our Prime Minster studied at Oxford and Harvard, was the Governor of both the Banks of England and Canada, and is recognized as one of the sharpest financial minds around.
America: oh yeah? Our guy has to take dementia tests every week.
What does it mean when your doctors keep insisting you redo the cognitive exam
A State Department employee shared with PBS News an image from inside the department. The image includes a piece of paper taped to a mirror with the words, "Colleagues, if you remain: RESIST FASCISM. Remember the oath you vowed to uphold."
DHS wants 72 hours notice before inspections of detention facilities. Kind of defeats the purpose, doesn't it?
Cleanup on Aisle 47, pls.

SBU chief Vasyl Malyuk spoke about Operation Spiderweb, saying 41 Russian strategic planes at 4 airbases were hit—about a third of their missile carriers. The mission took over 1.5 years to prepare and used drones hidden under mobile homes. He called it a historic, legal strike.
Weyakwin wildfire

More than a century after the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921, one of the most horrific episodes of racial violence in U.S. history, the city’s mayor announced a $105 million reparations package on Sunday. It is the first large-scale plan committing funds to address the impact of the atrocity.
Canada welcomes the U.S. Court of International Trade’s decision on the United States’ tariffs.
It confirmed what we’ve always held: that the American tariffs against Canadian goods are unlawful and unjustified.
Yes, Trump’s crypto grifts, well reported in NYT, reveal unprecedented corruption. But they also reveal that the people who can ruin the economy are in effect shorting the US dollar.
Even Tesla owners are joining the club, Jess!
Republican/GOP, The Heritage Foundation, The Federalist Society, etc started in EARNEST in 1980. They were on a methodical mission. They’ve ramped up, deliberatively calculating for 4-1/2 DECADES to get to authoritarianism & Project 2025 to destroy democracy, reverse FDR’s ND & women’s/civil rights.
You have to math to do your taxes, manage your finances, raise your family, make wise purchases.
I really feel sorry for the child she is raising. It is at great risk of being an imbecile.
