We don’t have the budget, ships, or crews to sit in the Strait of Hormuz forever playing “guardian angel” for global oil traffic. Keeping a permanent carrier group there costs billions, burns through readiness, and ties down forces we need elsewhere.

Well, I've been gone for quite a while off this platform. I think it's time to reengage over here.

We should be asking the same question that MAGA and real Republicans we're asking just prior to the 2024 election. Are you better off than you were 14 months ago?

Jeremy Scahill says the White House is selling a story it wants to be true: that Iran is folding. In reality, Iran is setting terms, building alliances, and waiting Trump out. The result looks less like leverage and more like a trap.

MARCO RUBIO: These people are lunatics. They are insane STEPHANOPOULOS: You call then 'lunatics,' but Trump just posted that 'we're in discussions with a new and more reasonable regime'

BREAKING: After ProPublica published letters written by children at the Dilley concentration camp, ICE officers raided the dormitories and confiscated the children's letters. I'm suing ICE to get them back. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/breaking-i...

I mean there it is.

NBC: Under intl law, hitting civilian infrastructure is prohibited. Why is POTUS threatening war crimes? LEAVITT: POTUS has made it quite clear to the Iranian regime their best move is to make a deal or else N: Which objectives would destroying a desalination plant help? LEAVITT: Haley, go ahead

Newsom: The New Testament and Old Testament have one dominant thing in common—Matthew, Isaiah, Luke, Proverbs, go down the list—it’s about food, about serving those who are hungry. It’s not a suggestion; it’s core and essential to what it means to align with God’s will.

The president had a MRI but won't say why. He had bruises on his hands but wouldn't say why. He just had an 'annual medical' even though he already had his annual medical. He got shot in the ear but has never released the medical records relating to it. How is any of this ok?

“Very, very unfair and even worse than Bad Bunny at the Super Bowl. Your favorite president was snubbed for someone who’s not even American.” www.reuters.com/world/venezu...

Good morning all

Good morning all

SEN: @ossoff.bsky.social: “WHO’S GETTING FIRED AT THE VA?” COLLINS: 🤷🏼‍♂️

They’re assaulting the mothers and fathers of US soldiers. Roving gangs of masked men grab human beings off the street. They send them without due process to prisons in countries they’re not even from where they are then sold into slavery. Make it stop!!!

Between 1999 and 2023, heat deaths in the United States more than doubled. It’s a deadly climate crisis. Please take care. www.nytimes.com/2024/09/07/o...

Hard pass.

We don’t know what the real name of the Director of White House Personnel is, we don’t know what country he came from, he refuses to turn in background check forms, and nobody will ask the president or press secretary about it.

WATCH this! And then tell the Republicans in Congress that when they're burning down this house, there's people still inside. #DontKillOurMedicaid

Ted Cruz is doing the most Ted Cruziest thing imaginable - posting a bunch of clips from a debate that he lost.

I don't know about you...but I'm disturbed by the amount of hell NOT being raised by leadership about masked individuals jumping out of unmarked vans, refusing to identify themselves...and just shoving people into a Goddamn vehicle and whisking them away.

"THE END OF OUR CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC AS WE KNOW IT COULD BE HAPPENING NOW"

@jd-vance-1.bsky.social idiocy has entered the conversation

Just a few days ago, Speaker Mike Johnson, the puritanical pixie twit, refused to rule out arresting Governor Newsom. He added that Newsom should be “tarred and feathered,” a form of torture popularized by vigilantes. He is a reckless hypocrite.

"Veterans know the layoffs aren’t about saving money. They’re about weakening the institution and ultimately privatizing and gutting VA disability funding, as spelled out in Project 2025." share.google/pz6mLWSzZIYC...

ICYMI — ICE DIRECTOR: “These are real people with real families you’re hurting.” He says this not about immigrants… but about ICE agents. A record-setting lack of self-awareness.

Tesla Takedown in Boston.

Crockett: It is time for Republicans to start calling him out and start questioning his mental acuity, and whether or not he is equipped to serve mentally. We know when it comes down to his criminality, he is not qualified to serve, but this is just absolutely deplorable.

Jordan Peterson was humiliated when he left his safe space, the same thing happened to Charlie Kirk. The more these people are challenged, the more they are exposed. This is why they rarely venture out of the right-wing bubble.

In other words, he promised repeatedly during the campaign he had a secret plan to end the war in 24 hours and he was just bullshitting everyone because he doesn’t have the first clue what to do, he gave away all negotiating leverage months ago, and his special envoy is a dope.

Am I the only person that's been 86'd from a bar when I was younger.

Just say it.

AOC: Tom Homan said he was going to refer me to DOJ because I’m using my free speech rights in order to advise people of their constitutional protections… to that I say: Come for me… Do I look like I care? There’s nothing illegal about it and if they want to make it illegal, they can come take me.

We should rename today after the convicted felon and make it a holiday, obviously it would continue to have the same meaning, fools day

It looks like that other platform has crashed

The founder of Signal releases a response to SignalGate: “There are so many great reasons to be on Signal. Now including the opportunity for the vice president of the United States of America to randomly add you to a group chat for coordination of sensitive military operations.”

I saw this over on the other platform and had to steal it because it literally made me laugh
