#ICYMI

We’re currently spending $75 billion to arrest Latinos.going to work and not a single dime to to arrest anyone in the Epstein Files.

Let’s treat the billionaires named in the Epstein files the same way ICE treats random pain the street - lock them up in a tiny cage until we get it all sorted out.

Random Saturday thoughts…

Let the warning ride forth once more - Tyranny is at our door.

We are in midst of an epidemic crisis, let the warning go forth!

Bill Nye and hundreds of Planetary Society members are heading to DC on Monday to protest the White House's proposal to slash NASA's science budget in half.

These cuts were announced as the Artemis astronauts were on their way to the Moon:

One side obsession from my research into the 1920s is the extensive network of ELECTRIC trains that used to connect cities and towns across the central Midwest called the Interurban. We had this more than a hundred years ago. The things we had and the things we lost.

France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces.

Equals 10 nuclear reactors
Reduces heat island, shades cars

The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight.

Why aren't we doing this?

Idahoans United for Women and Families are confident they will get the ballot initiative on the November 2026 ballot.

BERNIE: “The time is long overdue for members of Congress to listen to the American people and end US military aid to the extremist Netanyahu government.”

The Firewall Holds: Communities, Courts, and States Reject The Regime While Raskin Officially Demands Trump’s Medical Records The resistance is winning. Here's proof

The firewall is holding. Raskin just demanded Trump prove he’s fit or resign, Colorado crushed ICE in court, Boise turned a flag ban into a city-wide rainbow defiance, and Trump’s $10B Epstein lawsuit got thrown out. The resistance is winning.

Meanwhile, we are now paying more for groceries, more for gas, more for housing, more for health insurance-if we can even afford it at all-and billions to fund an illegal war against Iran

We must vote out EVERY MAGA REPUBLICAN so we can restore fiscal sanity to America

Schoolhouse Rock never prepared us for this shit.

Can Iran charge fees for ships to transit the Strait of Hormuz? Iran wants to charge fees for ships to pass through the Strait of Hormuz as part of its proposals to end the war with Israel and the United States after blocking most traffic through the crucial energ...

There have been reports ​of at least one payment of $2 million having been made for a vessel to traverse the Strait, but Reuters was unable to confirm that.

$2M per ship. That's not going to help bring down the cost of oil by much. It's an international strait. We should never agree to tolls.

What Comes From the Failure to Confront Insanity Trump’s religious zealotry advocating war crimes is the inevitable result

The lunatic in chief must be disposed of. If only we had a functional Congress... open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

Trump just gave Iran $60 billion a year in Strait of Hormuz tolls and no nuclear inspections.

I have absolutely no respect for war criminals, murders, child sex abusers, liars, fraudsters, and those who take an oath of office and fail to uphold

Tired of the stupidity, the corruption, the incompetence, the lack of morals, the brutal secret police, and the wasting of our tax dollars

Dwarf Planet Eris is 'Almost Perfect' Pluto Twin The distant dwarf planet Eris could be an 'almost perfect' twin of pluto, scientists say. The two small worlds are nearly identical in size.

We need to send a spacecraft to go photograph and document Eris and its moon. It would take around 25 years to make the journey. It would be even more amazing to land on it. In 2055...that should be an accomplishment.

All I can say about the Iran negotiations is~ Nobody rewrites history better than an abusive man

Trump was elected to wipe the trauma of the first black president from American history, a task which included scrapping the nuclear deal that had the US in a much better strategic position than before this needless, unconstitutional war of choice against Iran

Pete Buttigieg Last Night 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻...

Hard Reality, Straight Up.
Trump Lost.
America Lost.
Israel Lost.
Iran Won

… & Won Big.

We’ve been doing this same thing for 15 months. On tariffs, Panama Canal, Greenland, Canada, Nobel Prize, law firms, media companies, state govts, on & on. Trump makes crazy threats & ultimatums. Causes chaos. Backs down. Causes more chaos. Pointing that out isn’t provoking him into doing worse …

Yesterday was one of those days when a lot of normal people remembered our president is super erratic and unhinged

What a f*cking waste of lives and money. 😠

Convicted Felon Donald Trump’s cowardice is in a dead heat with his atrocious negotiation skills.

The US is in a significantly worse position today than when this illegal war was launched by Trump on February 28th.

He blinked. Plain and simple.

In the end, Trump will have: - stolen years of our lives - poisoned our families, communities - destroyed our institutions - turned Americans against Americans - humiliated us on the world stage - weakened our alliances, while our enemies celebrate - and taken a 250-year democracy & treated it like his personal property And that’s why you Never hand power to a malignant narcissist — Hold him & his enablers accountable.

Good morning, Northwest Georgia!

It’s Election Day. This is your moment to be heard — for your family and your future.

I’ve spent 40 years in uniform. I know what’s at stake, and I’ll always fight to protect our kids from another forever war.

Get up. Get in line. Go vote. #GA14

Is Vance's support of Orban, Russia's most important asset in Europe, really in America's national interest?
