Trump brags that the war has made oil companies rich. Proving my theory that Trump actually wants Republicans to lose the midterms. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Trump: "When you say the last 7 months you've produced more oil, more everything, you've made more money than you have ever made. You know why? What happened 7 months ago? The war. Now, when I say it, they said, 'Oooooh, that's so terrible.' We're making an absolute fortune."

The families of the US service members killed in the Middle East will be happy to hear that the Trump Crime Family is making money off of their children's deaths.

Trump laments animals being fried to death on solar panels, gushes once again about Jon Husted's ass (but disses Ken Paxton's), and brags about "making an absolute fortune" off the Iran War during an uninhibited even by his standards rally in Lubbock Supercut:

Trump is BIG MAD about Obama saying the White House now looks like Saddam opened a Cheesecake Factory: "He's not a smart guy. He's not smart at all ... for you to say it's a Cheesecake Factory, that just shows why you were a lousy president"

It is genuinely weird that Trump has spent his whole life surrounded by extraordinary wealth and still has the absolute trashiest, tackiest taste imaginable.

The long-serving strongman leader of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, has conceded defeat in an election that pitted him and his right-wing party against a diverse student-led opposition movement that spent two years protesting his government.

🚨 BREAKING: Lula is projected to WIN reelection as president of Brazil, defeating Flávio Bolsonaro, son of former President Jair Bolsonaro and an ally of Donald Trump. The projection comes just ONE DAY after Reuters exposed a Trump administration effort to help return the Bolsonaro family to power.

There it is. Elon Musk admits it. “That loophole was closed last week.” In a deranged post on X, Musk openly acknowledges that SpaceX recently restricted Ukraine’s ability to use Starlink.

"Right now, we’re living in Trump’s world, in Vance’s world, in Hegseth’s world. .. This is what a world without empathy looks like. It’s a world of constant othering, of constant rage .. But nothing flourishes in that world." This is very well articulated A fascinating read:

New in PN: In defense of empathy "Being aware of other people’s feelings, sensitive to them, and able to put yourself in another person’s shoes is pretty much essential for humans to function as a community. But the current conservative project has zero room for that sort of thing."

i really do think that a successful impeachment and removal of hegseth is a live possibility if dems win the senate. he is a genuine disaster.

Man, Hegseth's Department of War is even more buffoonish than everything else. Kinda amazed how the US military didn't just have some basic war plans they could activate. Their lack of preparedness is astonishing. meidasnews.com/news/so-much...

Total respect for NBC's Monica Alba, who asked Trump exactly the question he needs to answer. By refusing to answer, and attacking her, he has effectively told the world that no, sexual abuse allegations do no mean a thing to him. Imagine if she wasn't there. We'd be the poorer for it.

😳 WOMAN REPORTER: Do sexual abuse allegations mean nothing to you, sir? TRUMP: Wait. Wait! Wait wait wait. Slow down. Who are you with? REPORTER: NBC, sir. But they are very serious sex abuse allegations TRUMP: Quiet! Isn't she a fresh person? You're a horrible little reporter, aren't you?

It’s a clear conflict of interest for the Trump Administration to have their own lawyers represent immigrant children against their own deportation machine. We have two demands for Secretary Kennedy: (1) Drop this absurd plan (2) Restore independent legal counsel Now.

The tragedy of Biden's presidency is not its lack of success, but how little its success was recognized. The claim Democrats don't have a policy program is false. Finishing the projects Biden began, working with Bernie Sanders and others, should be central to the project of the next president.

The NYPD just released surveillance video of the ICE shooting (which occurred off camera). Two men in civilian clothes run up to a car with guns drawn. One second later, one man begins smashing the butt of his gun into the driver’s side window. The driver appears to panic and hit the gas.
