As a Medicare beneficiary I recd a (inaccurate, mis-capitalized, self-aggrandizing, unwanted) msg fr current president w $90 payment (MY tax dollars?) Better to give than curse, so chose to donate to local comm. health clinic. NOT asking for praise; asking might you do same? Idea www.freeclinics.com

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

The Pentagon has again quietly raised the number of U.S. casualties during operations related to the Iran war. The military now is reporting that 21 U.S. service members have been killed, up from 18, and 865 have been wounded, up by 98 since August.

Trump's big news is China acquired the publicly available voter file? Bro, DOGE employees took off with our Social Security info on thumb drives.

I’m in a mind-crushing spiral of temptation to try to explain what is so ver wrong. Thus appreciate thorough and clear pieces like this www.publicnotice.co/p/trump-algae

The Costs of the Iran War: Thousands of Lives and Billions of Dollars www.nytimes.com/2026/06/19/u...

Trump is cheering on a bad deal to end a war with Iran he should have NEVER started. American servicemembers killed and injured. Thousands of civilians killed. Billions of taxpayer dollars lit on fire. All for a worse deal than what Obama negotiated without dropping a single bomb.

In the now all-too-common category of things that are completely unsurprising and yet utterly shocking, Republicans have completely memory-holed the killings of the Hortmans and shootings of the Hoffmans in Minnesota. As far as they’re concerned it just never happened.

But I was told we needed to tone down the rhetoric

We can't keep looking away from his emotional and cognitive issues. The attack on the Pope was the beginning of a full night of melting down. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

How the fuck is the president and Secretary of State at a UFC fight in Miami while war negotiations affecting the world economy are falling apart. And I know that MFer isn’t going to try to play golf tomorrow too.

It's a total shower of a government, led by a man without any capacity to control himself, and with nobody around willing to intervene and - if necessary - unseat him via the 25th amendment. There is no longer any other rational, objective way of looking at the crisis in Washington.

This is the deranged rambling of a man who has completely lost his grip on reality. He is bragging about mass death while claiming "smarter minds" are in charge. He is unfit to lead and a danger to every living person on this planet. The 25th Amendment exists for this exact moment.

The only statement they should make it not to go. Insane to turn up and honor this man who hates you and will use this as yet another occasion to berate and humiliate you and your employers and the First Amendment as a whole.

“Desalination facilities are oftentimes necessary for the survival of the civilian population and intentional destruction of those types of facilities is a war crime,” said Niku Jafarnia, a researcher at Human Rights Watch.

Widen your gaze and look upon Lebanon. Nearly a million people have been displaced by Israel in the past 3 weeks. They've been told not to return. That's ethnic cleansing. The last time Israel occupied Southern Lebanon, Hezbollah was born. What horrors will be unleashed now?

"Since March 2, Israeli airstrikes have killed at least 31 health professionals and wounded 51 others, the Lebanese health ministry said on Saturday. Israel has carried out at least 37 attacks against emergency medical workers, the ministry said." www.nytimes.com/2026/03/14/w...

The data economy has made us dumber in ways that also make us vulnerable to authoritarian takover. We are have become both cynical and gullible in the sense we think we are too jaded be fooled and as a result are tricked more easily www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

It is wild how many people legitimately don’t get that a 15 second video is not a meaningful source of information. The move from text to video in terms of how information is communicated has really been a boom for propaganda and general nonsense.

A handful of Republicans could end all of this. And there are quite a few who hate this war, masked terrorists in our cities, flouting of Congress, corruption, etc. But unless they prove otherwise they’re all cowards.

Trump’s war will easily cost more than it would have cost to extend the ACA tax credits. Republicans are telling the American people—there is always money for war, always money for billionaire tax breaks. Just never any money for health care or families here at home.

"The Peace President."

We are a country whose Constitution, according to the Supreme Court, gives our own presidents immunity for crimes committed while in office, but we will prosecute presidents of other countries for alleged crimes and invade them to execute arrest warrants.

The Epstein Files Transparency Act is a law, passed by Congress on November 19 with an overwhelming vote. Complying with it was not optional. The Department of Justice did not comply. I want to make sure this is very clear.

Trump’s attack on Venezuela and kidnapping of Maduro is wildly illegal, immoral and irresponsible.

Jack Smith's deposition must be bigger news "There is no historical analog for what..Trump did..[H]e was free to say he thought he won..He was even free to say falsely that he won..But..he was not free to..violate federal law and use knowingly false statements..to target lawful government function"

If this were your dad, you’d be texting the siblings: “We need to talk.”

Everyone (esp media) pay attention. In 2021 almost every Republican attacked the Biden administration and State dept for being too slow in approving Afghanistan special visas as Afghanistan fell. Now they are attacking Biden for doing what they asked him to do.

A Republican state lawmaker from Arizona called for me to be hanged in September. Now, Trump is saying Democratic members of Congress should be hanged. This is not a joke. These calls for political violence are completely unacceptable and they must stop now.

Montage of 19 clips of Trump insulting, berating, demeaning and attacking female reporters over the past few months. Part 1.

Alex Padilla lays it plain.

A comparison of last year vs this year's Walmart Thanksgiving promotion that he keeps rambling on about as he fights to deny Americans SNAP benefits. ⤵️
