US Congressman Thomas Massie “We should end all US military aid to Israel.”
HELL YEAH!
Glad to see the Australian government on board. Massive milestone today with Bowen acknowledging EV growth is already offsetting the oil crisis. Increasing reserves while demand falls makes no sense.
Now for a solar carport mandate!

President Trump admits himself that gas prices will be higher – all because of the war he started with Iran.
Most Americans are living paycheck to paycheck. They cannot handle a price increase at the gas pump.
We must end the war in Iran and focus on bringing down costs.

In light of the oligarchic times we are in, and the growing rush to privatize our public education system through federal vouchers, this article by David Larabee is especially prescient. @jenniferberkshire.bsky.social @carolburris.bsky.social

Minnesota is mourning the loss of Sergeant First Class Nicole M. Amor of White Bear Lake who was killed in Kuwait on Sunday.
She answered the call to serve and gave her life in service to our state and nation. Minnesotans are wrapping our arms around her loved ones.
WATCH — @senpeterwelch walks through a no-bid $143,000,000 contract that went to @KristiNoem’s spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin’s husband’s company that had just been formed.
She should be impeached for this outrageous scandal alone.
Yet it’s barely a blip in this corrupt regime.
