Congrats on “opening” a strait that was open six weeks ago, and all it cost was at least 13 dead service members, thousands of dead Iranian civilians, tens of billions in taxpayer dollars, our loss in global standing, and the Iranian regime’s increase in power. Phenomenal work.

Accountability brings consequences.

And consequences are the only language corruption understands.

Money and political power do not outrank the Constitution.

They just need a wake up call and it’s coming at the midterms.👇

What Was Actually in the Mueller Report There is an enormous amount of misinformation circulating about former Special Counsel Bob Mueller’s investigation into Russian attempts to influence the 2016 U.S.

7 years ago, we learned about Bob Mueller’s conclusions. Today, there are a lot of posts on social media claiming it was a farce, or worse, a fraud. But those posts are disinformation. Here is the actual information, with links for those who want to do a deep dive.

It’s hard for most Americans to find a progressive church – Baptist News Global I hear from progressive Christians all the time who tell me they cannot find a congregation where they fit in and feel comfortable.

@ryanburge.bsky.social claims there is a growing (and accurate) perception “that there’s only one way to be a white Christian in the United States: the conservative way.”

I'm sorry, if you're going to make a big show about how you've got a Department of WAR helmed by a Secretary of WAR and staffed by WARfighters, it's totally inane to then claim that your massive bombing of a foreign country constitutes something other than a war.

When we talk about Baby Boomers not getting off the stage: In 1997, the US president was born in 1946.

In 2007, the US president was born in 1946.

In 2017, the US president was born in 1946.

And next year in 2027? The US president will have been born in 1946.

Trump is pushing a border wall in my backyard. Plans for a hundreds of miles of border wall in remote West Texas are now moving forward.

I've started receiving this newsletter that attempts to offer balanced coverage of current events. This is a good write-up about the absurdity of a border wall through Big Bend. www.readtangle.com/trump-border...

A reminder - before Trump, MAGA, Musk and Fox rewrote history - that this is what the entire country agreed had happened five years ago today:

Trump’s Argentina bailout enriches one well-connected US billionaire A $20 billion US rescue package is a gift for a hedge fund manager with ties to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.

Last week, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced a $20 billion package to rescue the Argentinian economy.

Too bad that it's basically a gift for one hedge fund manager with ties to Bessent himself.

Character — The First Thing to Go and the Last Thing That Matters I have learned you can tell a lot about a country by what it rewards.

Before you give someone power in your life — or your country — ask one thing: Do they have the character to be trusted, and does it align with your values?

It’s not politics. Its personal.

25% tax on Apple products while singling out the CEO by name for retribution, 50% tax on European goods, expulsion of foreign students, bill passed with most debt in history, while hosting a dinner for people who gave you $300+ million. All in the last 24 hours.

The Golden Age.

They blame pollution but cut the EPA and clean air and water regulations. They blame poor nutrition but cut SNAP and programs to bring local produce to schools. They blame increased screen time while destroying public infrastructure that connects people. All while they take millions off healthcare.

"Targeting Krebs is ... about leveraging the power of the state against a someone who had the temerity to insist that the truth was true. Calling for an investigation of Krebs is flatly authoritarian, perhaps more so than any other example of Trump going after his enemies."

Opinion | Musk Said No One Has Died Since Aid Was Cut. That Isn’t True. (Gift Article) A journey through the front lines of global poverty shows that when the world’s richest men slash aid for the world’s poorest children, the result is sickness, starvation and death.

Disheartening and frustrating. We should be better. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

The Unbearable Normality of Creeping Authoritarianism The U.S. government is under attack from within, the Constitution isn't really in effect, but if you don't follow politics and aren't directly targeted, you might not notice
