So, will Republicans next create a law to prevent citizens from supporting regulated capitalism? Seriously, wtf is the matter with these people?

Yeah... If UGA is going to hire men to coach women's tennis, could they at least find some with the balls to put their team front and center and not facilitate Trump's bullshit misogyny?

Ossoff: "How does American politics really work? It's coin operated. Money goes in, favors come out. It's been running on secret money, corporate money, billionaire money ... all of this gave rise to a depraved president who exploits this rot to empower and enrich himself"

This is the message we should be hearing from all Dems. It's long past time that we got big money out of politics. Citizens United is an abomination that has created a government that is unresponsive to average Americans. If we do not fix this, we will never have gov't of, by and for the people.

Iran declares Strait of Hormuz completely open to commercial traffic during Israel-Lebanon ceasefire

CNBC is reporting that Iran has declared the Strait of Hormuz "completely open to commercial traffic during Israel-Lebanon ceasefire."

I never heard of a merger actually fulfilling the promises made to ensure approval of the deal. Such promises are not even aspirational. Promoters of merger will say/do whatever they think will juice the share price the most and feather the nests of executives now and in the future.

Absolutely. That will require we elect a new generation of Democrats/Independents who are ready to seriously restrict money in politics and close the door on big donors who fund both parties. Add accountability and institutional change, such as SCOTUS term limits and electoral college elimination.

Yeah, seriously? As others have implied, it would make more sense to just imagine there's no Trump/Vance or GOP. Just women and men of good will, who actually cared about -- and looked out for -- the interests of everyday people, and who promoted peace and justice. You know...true Americans.

Trump provided the answer to your question at his Easter event on Monday. Melania is a "movie star."

I think Trump's referring to a movie he saw some years ago. The public hasn't seen it yet, because it's part of the Epstein film archive.

Who will be Melania's Cory L. to take advantage of the onboard bedroom?

Agreed. Hegseth's statements are appalling. Unfortunately, this is a view characteristic of many religious groups whether it's stated explicitly, or tacitly implied. "My group/religion is superior to yours. We worship the one true god. God prefers my football team to yours." It's all truly absurd.

Yeah...if you're part of the president's inner circle of family, friends and allies who are no doubt trading on inside information.

Yep... Congress is taking a vacation from reality that shows no sign of ending.

Could someone please try to convince Trump that Venezuela needs him more than we do?

I mean... He's so good at language. It would be a shame to deprive Venezuelans of his perfect Spanish.

1 crew member rescued after US fighter jet shot down in Iran, AP sources say A U.S. and Israeli official say one crew member was rescued Friday after an American aircraft was shot down in Iran.

Thankfully, one crew member has been rescued.

Didn't Trump say all of Iran's anti-aircraft capability was destroyed? Presidents don't lie about such serious things, right? How'd they get their assessment wrong?

Oh... what's that? President Trump lies about everything, even during times of war.

Yep, with the orange one, every lackey is but a whim away from firing. I'm amazed that supposedly smart people either don't understand this or are in existential denial.

Trump's dying. He's gonna try to burn it all down before he goes. If he can't have it all, then nobody else can either.

Trump thinks $5 is a good deal for a Sharpie? What a moron.

For sure, the Stooges wouldn't be seen in the same room with those losers! 🙂

Trump sounds pessimistic on prospects for peace in Iran.

I sense another insider trading scheme in the offing.

Yeah, seriously, why should I care?

Yes, excellent piece that goes a long way in explaining how false/misleading narratives get ginned up into "political common knowledge" among Washington/MSM pundits. Interesting how over and over again, this is targeted at strong women, who unlike their male counterparts are expected to be perfect.

Judges Grow Angry Over Trump Administration Violating Their Orders

I'm sorry. DoJ officials don't get to excuse their failure to comply with court orders by claiming they're overworked. The Trump admin created the chaos that's generating their workload, so dial back the chaos and follow the damn law. At this point, failure to comply should lead to jail time.

Remarkable story. Thanks, Eddie!

Iran may be able to make bombs in a week, Steve Witkoff says | The Jerusalem Post The US envoy left out that Iran currently has no access to its material, no machines to enrich it, and no weapons program to use it for any operational purpose.

Steve Witkoff (Feb 22): Iran could be close to enriching uranium for bomb-making material

But according to White House (June 25), "Iran’s Nuclear Facilities Have Been Obliterated — and Suggestions Otherwise are Fake News."

Funny this isn't bigger news in MSM.

Yes, this. 👇👇👇

Ghislaine Maxwell fights release of more Epstein documents, calling disclosure law unconstitutional Lawyers for imprisoned British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell are fighting the requested release of 90,000 pages related to Jeffrey Epstein, saying a law used to force the recent public release of millio...

Now we know the nature of the deal Ghislaine Maxwell made with Trump, brokered by Todd Blanche. It appears she agreed to challenge the law requiring release of the Trump-Epstein files to halt the release of the most incriminating files. This could drag on for years.

We don't.

That's because US-domiciled investors know that Trump's policies have shifted the drivers of economic growth to other countries that have figured out they can no longer simply ride the coattails of the US economy and are taking direct control of their own economic and political fates.
