The amount of people defending the duration of the USS Lincoln on the other site is just ridiculous. You ask those who claim to have been onboard the previous record-breaking deployments (Another Iran crisis many many years ago) how long they went between port calls and none will answer you.

Vance just admitted we are paying Iran $300 BILLION in reparations. After losing the First World War, Germany paid US$5 billion (22 billion gold marks) in contemporary currency. Adjusted for inflation, that was still only around $90-95 billion in today's dollars.

CBS: The Iranians are saying they're gonna have access to a $300 billion reconstruction fund. True or false? JD VANCE: That's the sort of things they could have access to so long as they honor their end of the obligation

MSNOW's equipment gave up after many hours of livestreaming the scaffolding coming up. The tarps are almost done, it's obvious they don't want the removal to be seen, maybe to protect whoever will remove the letters.

WOW - Trump crashes out & cuts his interview w/ Welker short as she presses him on his lack of evidence for claiming elections are rigged "You're either crooked or you're stupid. I've had enough. Thank you darling," he tells her" "I traveled all the way to Wisconsin for this interview," she pleads

Trump is... copy-pasting old posts ?

Trump posted his Iran "Documents of Surrender" fantasy on May 18. Then again May 26. Then again just now. Verbatim. Three times. Surely the third time's a charm.

He messed up and, like a big baby, expects someone else to clean up his mess.

The strait was open. He starts a war. The strait closes. The world economy gets fucked. He doesn’t know what he’s doing, he gets bored, he declares victory, and he tells the rest of the world to open the strait, to clean up his mess. He’s such a prick. He’s such a destructive prick.

Any other government would expect his resignation by morning. Of course here we only have a consideration doing the act...

Four-byline alert: 🚨 “.. A broker for Pete Hegseth, the US defence secretary, attempted to make a big investment in major defence companies in the weeks leading up to the US-Israeli attack on Iran, according to three people familiar with the matter.” www.ft.com/content/744e...

Let's presume this ridiculous lie is true. It would only make his failure to prepare for it that much more inexcusable.

Trump: "I knew the Strait would be a weapon. I predicted it a long time ago. I predicted all of this stuff. I predicted Osama bin Laden would knock out the World Trade Center. I wrote it in a book."

Last time they did that they lost in court really really fast.

Q: Can you talk about the legal authority under which the federal govt pauses legally obligated funds, such as Medicaid? JD VANCE: Congress appropriates the money. We're the ones who actually make sure it actually goes to the people it ought to go to

That autistic lady with a brain injury just gave one heck of a testimony. Every ICE agent already have a ticket to hell. They'll redeem it one day but it'll b hard to redeem themselves...

-23C/-9.4F They're out there because of one man's death. Same man's death is about to start a shutdown in DC.

This is Minneapolis. Literally every corner along Lake St. packed with people holding candles, many singing, honoring a person who by all accounts was an absolute gem of a human, whose life was tragically stolen by a fascist, paramilitary occupation force.

Healthcare: Save 2.1 Trillion a year and get full population coverage. These numbers are known. These numbers have been calculated to apply to the American healthcare system. Saving enough to send all the redundant insurance workers home with 2+ years of severance.

If there's one empirical insight I'd want everyone to understand about American politics, it's this: America's problems are solved problems. Just not here. What would change if the US simply matched the average of 31 peer democracies? Not Denmark or Norway. Just the middle of the pack. 🧵

Let me get this right. Within a few days we have a guy wishing on air to kill homeless people, he apologizes and never was suspended. Then we have Kimmel with pretty mild comments that gets suspended because ABC/Disney caved in to pressure from an FCC guy ? #doublestandard #jimmykimmel

When the AQI for a station in the middle of farmland 150km south of Quebec City has almost the same value as the stations in the city, it's obvious the forest fires' smoke has reached us...

So let me get this right. The early US markets are rallying because Trump announced then delayed tariffs on Europe ? They didn't even have a day of trading to drop from the tariff announcement... It's just... so manipulative.
