The strait has been a particular source of frustration. Before the U.S. went to war, Trump told his team that Iran’s government would likely capitulate before closing the strait, and that even if Tehran tried, the U.S. military could handle it, The Wall Street Journal has reported. Some of the president’s advisers were caught off guard that tanker traffic would grind to a halt so quickly after the bombing began, according to a person in contact with the White House. Trump has since marveled at the ease with which the strait was closed. A guy with a drone can shut it down, Trump has said to people, expressing belated irritation that the key waterway was so vulnerable. He has publicly oscillated between demanding support from allies to help open it and insisting that the U.S. doesn’t need or want military assistance.

These two ¶¶ more than 35 ¶¶ into an adventure in sanewashing would be the entire story if reporters cared about accountability for Trump.

Trump was warned abt Strait.
He ignored those warnings.
Now he confesses he was wrong.

The richest 10% of Americans own roughly 87% of stocks.

The richest 1% alone own roughly half of all stocks.

It's worth pointing out once again that the stock market is not the economy.

My law firm intervened to protect voters in those cases.

Fluoride in drinking water has no effect on IQ or brain function, a long-term study shows.

The new research is the first to measure community water fluoridation exposure during childhood and any potential impact on cognition up to age 80.

The results contradict RFK Jr. statements.

Do Americans know that their Vice President was in Hungary campaigning for a Putin ally to be reelected, instead of in DC during a war in which Putin is helping Iran target Americans?

Einstein Visa? Or Epstein Visa?

It’s illegal for ICE to be at the polls to intimidate voters. Period.

A harebrained psychopath has control of the nuclear codes.

It has to stop.

Our country, our democracy, can't take another 33 months of what we've gone through over the last 15.

We must stop it.

Crazy to think it would only take like 10 Republicans to flip to impeach Trump. And yet they are too cowardly even though this war is unpopular with 75% of the country. 🇺🇸

Never vote Republican again. Ever.

Why does the American tax system favor the wealthy? And how did it get this way? I chatted with Jon Stewart about this back in 2012. Sadly it's only gotten worse since then. We must keep up the fight to fix the system.

I was thinking the same thing!

Listened to an interview with Josh Owens, a former contributor to Alex Jones’ Infowars. His assignment was to film someone dressed as a member of ISIS easily crossing the Mexico border. Problem? Border Patrol stopped them. So they filmed at a river not on the border. And got over a million views.

Just wait until these eyesore monstrosities want to come to your neighborhood. Goodbye trees. Expect to hear a constant, electrical humming, warmer temperatures and higher energy bills. Fight like hell to keep data centers out of your area.

In Minnesota, we stand tall with our neighbors in the face of hatred.

Former TIME editor Richard Stengel: “He is repeating every foreign and domestic policy mistake the US has made over the last 5 decades, but he’s doing it with a gracelessness, cluelessness, and corruption that has no precedent.”

Christian nationalists are panicking because religious progressives are thriving (RNS) — Christian nationalists' preferred framing of American politics as 'secular left vs. Christian' is false.

The message of Jesus is in direct opposition to White Christian nationalism.

I'm happy to see that Christian ministers are standing up, and getting the attention for their work for peace and justice.

The U.S. just lifted sanctions on Russian cargo ships and multiple high-profile narcotics figures.

Dozens of names were removed from the Specially Designated Nationals list—including vessels tied to major Russian leasing operations and individuals linked to Mexican and Colombian drug networks.

The US Military must realize the orders from the WH & Pentagon are illegal. They are talking international war crimes and crimes against humanity.
When will you refuse to follow these orders?
Put down your arms and stop this madness.

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.👇

Oligarchy (noun):

A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

Republicans want to gut federal health spending again.

First, they gutted Medicaid and other crucial programs to pay for tax cuts for the super-rich and corporations.

Now, they want more healthcare cuts so they can bankroll Trump’s war on Iran.

Priorities.
