REMINDER: Saudi Arabia does not want the war in Iran to end before there is regime change. The Saudis are paying a top U.S. negotiator, Jared Kushner, tens of millions annually.
Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful.
They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone.
Don't fall for it.
The Dream Team failed. Total shock. We sent two of our most mediocre real estate developers and a fraud. Who couldโve guessed this outcome?
One person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress beforehand, or our allies, or coherently explain to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop this and refuses to act.
Members of the Jan. 6 mob are suing the federal government for tens of millions of dollars in damages.
The lawsuit is claiming that the โindiscriminateโ use of force by police officers repelling the attack caused them physical and emotional injuries.
I mean there it is.
The call is coming from inside the house.
Let's focus on something we ALL agree on:

Because โweโre fuckedโ isnโt a very warfightery press conference.
โโWe gave Amazon a $17.5 BILLION tax break last year.
Meta got $13.7 BILLION.
Citigroup didn't pay a pennyโwe gave them a tax REFUND.
Those tax breaks didn't do anything to create jobs, let alone save them.
We have got to stop with the corporate tax giveaways.
5 minutes before the President announced a halt to attacks on Iranโฆ someone placed a $1.5 BILLION bet on stocks going up and dumped $192 million in oil.
5 minutesโฆ
These trades were 4 to 6 times larger than anything else in the entire market. Whoever did this wasnโt guessing.
Two pilots dead at LaGuardia. A lone controller managing two simultaneous emergencies. The FAA is 3,000 controllers short. We will blame the human. We should fix the system.

A Complete List of the President's Positive Qualities:
It's uncomfortable for many to talk about, especially the mainstream media, but the deep, wide ingrained vein of racism in the United States is one of primary reasons for the rise of both Trump and his fascist enablers we're suffering with now.
Ideally the President of the United States and the stupidest person on the planet should be two different peopleโฆ
NEW: Boasberg blocks subpoenas in Powellโs case. "A mountain of evidence suggests that the Government served these subpoenas on the Board to pressure its Chair into voting for lower interest rates or resigning.โ www.nbcnews.com/business/eco...
The SAVE America Act is a voter suppression scam. It would take away the rights of working people to make their voices heard at the ballot box.
The Senate must reject this bill.

THE KINK OF THE WORLD
Murphy: I have great sympathy for our soldiers and our military leaders they are being given directions by a senile old man who is losing his mind. And so it's no surprise that this war is going horribly
The UK should be at war with this war criminal scum and interning his British apologists.
Jeffries: "Article 1 of the Constitution provides Congress with the sole authority to declare war. Framers made that decision b/c they were concerned about kings plunging their people into unnecessary wars to pillage resources of others for the benefit of a tyrant and his family. Sound familiar?"
Got it. There's plenty of funding to send troops into harmโs way, but not to take care of their health afterwards. This is shameful.
๐ฉ House Oversight just voted 24-19 to SUBPOENA AG Pam Bondi over her half-baked Epstein files release.
Key docs still hidden.
Redactions everywhere.
Powerful names protected.
Enough is enough.
Tell Congress: FORCE Bondi to release EVERY unredacted file NOW. No more cover-ups! ๐ฅ
The Constitution is clear: Congress decides on war. When a president uses military force without authorization and Congress stays silent, they are abandoning their role as a co equal branch of government. War is the most serious power our government has. Shame on the U.S. Senate today.
The only thing Trump and Republicans can offer farmers is more and more government welfare to hang onto their votes, because every one of their policies hurts their ability to conduct business in a market environment. This is especially true of family-owned farms.
They cut Meals on Wheels for seniors, doctors for the VA, and food for American children - but send billions of taxpayer dollars to the Middle East for an unnecessary war of choice.
