Yes, Pete Hegseth is so incompetent that our troops go without necessary medical care, but at least they are called "warriors" now while they go untreated. So it all evens out . . .
Ossoff: The money that they took from you when they slashed Medicaid and defunded hospitals and nursing homes—They’re taking that money to buy corrupt, taxpayer-funded political ads on national television to try to promote the failed and broken president…
Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.
Jimmy Carter lost because underhanded Ronald Reagan told Iran that if they held the American hostages until after the presidential election (to make Carter look bad) Reagan would secretly sell arms to Iran. Reagan then used the money from Iran to illegally fund the Contras, a Nicaraguan rebel group.
Imagine if a woman president crashed the economy and started a war with no end in sight, and her biggest, seemingly ONLY concern was building a ballroom and redecorating the White House.
In Stalin's Russia the rule was “Don’t ever be the first to stop applauding!"
In Trump's cabinet, the rule is to wear the oversized, wrong-sized shoes Trump picked out for you.

So, in launching a huge bombing campaign on Iran they apparently didn't plan for:
- Who takes over;
- Interceptor shortages from sustained drone retaliation;
- How to defend US bases in the region;
- Threats to ships in the Strait of Hormuz; and
- How to evacuate Americans with airspace closed.
ICE agents would be disqualified from working in California law enforcement and inside the public school system under a new bill introduced in the Legislature this week.
Mockler: As much as the Trump admin tries to act like it's different from prior Republican administrations, they're doing the same thing. They cut taxes for the richest, they cut benefits for the poorest, and then they go to war for either regime change or for oil.
Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.
The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.
They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.
Wanna fix fraud and abuse?
Fix that.
We live in socialism for the wealthy with harsh austerity for everyone else.
Privatise the profits, socialise the losses.
The only solution is a working class revolution.
Eat the rich asap obvsly 💪

Odd, how the “worst of the worst” are never committing crimes or lounging in drug dens, but are instead taking their kids to school or showing up for immigration hearings. It’s *almost* as if the Trump administration perpetually lies about EVERYTHING.
Healthcare for seniors is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse.
Food for hungry kids is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse.
A $45 military parade for a draft dodging felon *is* waste, fraud, and abuse.
Paying the National Guard to attack US citizens *is* waste, fraud, and abuse.
Pence: "To have POTUS in Saudi Arabia questioning America's global war on terror & describing is as nation building & interventionist I thought was a disservice to generations of Americans who wore the uniform..particularly giving that speech in Saudi Arabia where 15 of the 19 hijackers hailed from"
Whether it's Obama wearing a tan suit or Donald Trump tanking the economy, alienating America's allies, sending innocent people to torture camps, destroying the free press, and causing millions of deaths worldwide by ending USAID, both sides have brought great shame to our country.
The Thursday episode of the podcast is here. We talked about more evidence that Donald is using the trade war to manipulate Wall Street. Plus, a bunch of good news including Donald's failing poll numbers and unpopularity with every demographic and on every issue.

They are snatching people off the street and sending them away to brutal prisons in foreign lands with zero due process - and they won't even bring them back when they realize a mistake was made.
That's frightening stuff for any American who actually loves their country.
#StopTrumpsTerror
bring us your poor, your tired, and your huddled masses so we can stuff them in an unmarked van and ship them to a slave labor camp in an undisclosed location
Looks like tomorrow will bring votes on a Republican plan to fund tax cuts for the rich by slashing Medicaid.
So this is a great time to contact your Member of Congress.
Sadism isn't swagger. It isn't American. It isn't honorable. And contrary to what a whole lot of fatherless boys believe, it sure AF isn't manly.
It's sadism.
Anyone surprised that DOJ wants to dismiss its suit against Musk’s SpaceX? Special treatment for Adams and Musk is no surprise plus DOJ won’t be pursuing civil rights claims on behalf of immigrants, or almost anyone, going forward so this was totally predictable.
