Sen. Smith: "Trump said that gas prices are, 'Not very high' and 'we're having some fake inflation because of the fuel'…Do you think the gas prices going up 20% is 'fake inflation?'"

Warsh: "The gas prices…when they move in the wrong direction, the American people are hurting by it."

The United States is destroying itself | Rebecca Solnit The daily news can’t adequately convey the administration’s sabotaging of our government, economy, alliances and environment

Today is the 251st anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.

Remind you of anyone?

The fact that the Pope saying some basic Christian stuff is considered a political attack against Trump and MAGA clearly shows the anti-Christian nature of the regime.

BREAKING: The U.S. bishops’ Committee on Doctrine just issued a formal statement defending Pope Leo XIV's teaching authority on just war doctrine — less than twelve hours after JD Vance told a Turning Point USA crowd the pope should “be careful” talking theology.

This is a serious escalation.

They both can't be true

They both can't be true

Trump "said again that the US will be blockading the strait of Hormuz, in what would be a major escalation in the war, but acknowledged that it may 'take a little while' to do so...then claimed that it won’t 'take long' to 'clean out' the strait"
Which is it FFS?

Another emotional moment. The ex-military Carawagon ("Tactical Command Post aka "Commanders Caravan") left my ownership today. It was my first military Land Rover, and it has taken me to (and provided accommodation at) many interesting events.

Donald Trump is the war’s biggest loser There is a reason he wants an exit from Iran

"NOT ALL wars have a winner. But every war has at least one loser and if—a big if—the ceasefire marks the end of the war in Iran, the biggest loser will be Donald Trump."

This is key to political understanding: austerity causes a rise in support for the far right.
BTW, austerity is *not over*, unless you accept the meaningless official definition. A meaningful definition is "a decline in public services caused by a shortfall in funding". catherinedevries.eu/NHS.pdf

Analysis Finds That Google's AI Overviews Are Providing Misinformation at a Scale Possibly Unprecedented in the History of Human Civilization A new analysis commissioned by The New York Times suggests that Google's AI Overviews are wrong an astonishing percentage of the time.

"On top of suggesting that the AI is pulling facts out of thin air, ungrounded responses make it difficult for users to verify the AI’s claims."

Trump said he "exceeded his objectives" in Iran. One wonders what those objectives could have been given that before the war, the Strait of Hormuz was freely open, but thanks to Trump's dealmaking prowess, ships must now pay a tool to Iran to be allowed safe transit.

Heck of a job there, Donny.
