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

Bravo @iciradiocanada.bsky.social de pas nous montrer le résultat immédiatement que ça prenne le commentateur pour nous dire le chiffre du vote de la CAQ.
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...
It was always an option. Holy F so many of these guys quit because of this, it won't fix the problem overnight. www.ms.now/news/trump-t...

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
-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. 🧵

What a photograph. “Nearly two dozen arrested as faith leaders protested outside a federal immigration facility near Chicago…” Arrested large amounts of peaceful clergy face first on pavement is a pretty good sign you’re not the good guys in the story. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...
