sure gas is headed to $8/gallon but at least cornell got rid of their gender studies classes. or at least i think they did, i haven’t checked and if im being honest i wouldnt really know if they had or hadnt because it doesnt affect me but it makes $8/gallon gas all worth it

Takes the air right out of the whole “Obama flew 1.7B to Iran on pallets” bullshit narrative

Angry@angrystaffer.bsky.social

We’re about to pay Iran $6 billion to re-open the thing that was open before the war. Art of the deal, baby.

I wanna point out something serious. The admin has been complaining about Iran winning the information war. This same administration shut down Voice of America, and other information operations the US govt does. It’s a self goal. Actions have consequences

This is what happens when 77 million people take leave of their senses and put a manifestly unqualified, unfit, mentally ill narcissistic man-child in charge of the country and the world's most powerful. military. This is what happens when the media 'bothsides' election coverage.

The ancient scrolls tell us that, in the Before Time, a president's admission that his administration had not considered the obvious likelihood of the war widening when they first attacked Iran would lead to immediate congressional hearings.

Trump: "All of the sudden the war starts, and they start shooting at Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, Oman. Everybody was shocked, including us."

Standalone bills for one agency or one act to be voted on literally is the definition of a “clean bill”. Kernen is a MAGA chud

SCHIFF: I don't want to hold up the rest of what DHS does, so I've fully supported vote after vote to fund TSA KERNEN: That's a carve out. It's not a clean bill, which has been business as usual SCHIFF: Well, business as usual right now is people getting killed in the streets. So I'm not for that

Eric Trump and Donald Trump, Jr. are acquiring a drone company that is seeking to meet Pentagon demand after Trump banned the use of Chinese drones. We’re just weeks into Trump’s war and already his family has found a way to cash in. Everything is for sale.

Jeffrey Epstein's December 20, 2016 email to Bill Gates: "come to visit the island. new administration people visiting." What was the upcoming administration in December2016? Oh!

The amount we’d have to be lectured about this if it were members of the GOP would be nauseating. But it happens to democrats so 🤷‍♂️, page six news. Trump literally said he won’t watch the video, hopes he never sees it, and figured Ilhan Omar probably sprayed herself. The media fails consistently.

Two Democratic members of Congress attacked in three days. Maxwell Frost was assaulted on Saturday, Ilan Omar tonight.

FOX: Interim U.S. Attorney for the state of New Jersey, Alina Habba has resigned. Attorney General Pam Bondi says she accepted the resignation after a court's decision disqualifying Habba from serving.

I’ve been told we should be calling our senators. You should call your senator Chuck and tell him about this, see if there’s something he can do

Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.gov

What Trump said is a fucking outrage. It’s against democracy. If Donald Trump has his way on this, our democracy is over.

An FBI Director saying “see you in Valhalla” about Charlie Kirk isn’t just cringe, it’s ignorant. Valhalla is sacred myth twisted by white supremacists as extremist code. The nation’s top cop should know better than to echo the language of the very groups the FBI is supposed to stop.

It’s so surreal seeing prominent right-wing figures—an influential presidential advisor, the last campaign’s biggest donor, etc.—call for violence, the GOP president lie and stoke violence, every Dem officeholder condemn it, and mainstream media treat those as the same, or the Dem reaction as worse.

Will Stancil@whstancil.bsky.social

These are calls for mass political violence, against all Democrats. They openly call for the bombing of "Democrat" cities and for the jailing or killing of Democratic politicians. They are from some of the most influential voices in right-wing politics. Will anyone say anything?

Joel Sciabarrasi reposted

Wild. The political murders of legislators in Minnesota were “killings.” The shooting of Kirk which cause is unknown is an “assassination.” They bend the knee without even being asked.

They can never put themselves in anyone else’s shoes. They only see humanity when it’s something that happens to them.

Elad Nehorai@eladn.bsky.social

They have never, ever expressed anything close to this level of pain and sympathy for school shooting victims.

Joel Sciabarrasi reposted

Judging by the shamefully opportunistic & politicizing rhetoric of some rightwingers on Twitter, & their cynical use of Charlie Kirk’s horrific murder for political point scoring, it’s almost as if Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman wasn’t murdered by a Trump-voting MAGA maniac just 12 weeks ago.

Joe needs to touch grass. Dude can never fathom what anyone outside of Wall Street could ever do that’s worth any value whatsoever

WATCH: “What about the rich? Do they get shot? It’s like they’re making Wall Streeters walk out onto the ice in the East River… class warfare… eat the rich.” @cnbc.com hosts Joe Kernen & jim cramer hilariously struggle to process Zohran’s win — made inevitable by the greed they exalt.

I wonder how many people realize that America is now literally at war *solely* because Trump hates black people Obama signed the Iran Nuclear Deal; Iran stopped enrichment; Trump ended the Deal to spite Obama; he was told enrichment would restart; it did This is *Trump’s* war

Could have just kept in the Iran nuclear deal that kneecapped Irans nuclear capabilities, but hey, how about being a complete and utter dumbass, and thumping your chest to get the US into another war in the Middle East? That’s also an option

Axios@axios.com

NEW: A senior Israeli official told Axios that B-2 stealth bombers were used for the U.S. strike on Iran's nuclear facilities.

This shouldn’t be that hard, they do it all the damn time

Radley Balko@radleybalko.bsky.social

Really need journalists to push back on this bullshit. When they say this, just ask them point blank: "Are you saying that because one Latino man committed a murder, another Latino man deserves a life sentence? Do you think all Latino men interchangeable?"

Immediately resign. You’re in public service, if you feel you can’t use your voice then you’re not advocating for your constituents. Resign yesterday

im sorry to be so divisive and partisan but i dont think the government should be inventing a criminal history out of thin air to justify sending someone to a concentration camp in a foreign country

I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.

Tells you everything 💯

When Andrew Tate was charged with rape and human trafficking, Trump intervened to fly him back to the US. When a working-class father of a disabled 5-year-old child was wrongfully deported and charged with NO crime, Trump refuses to lift a finger.

But the whole Signal chat thing? No leaks there? This administration is such an epic clown show
