The war on Iran is unfolding alongside a wave of mass layoffs in the US. These are not separate crises. They are two sides of the same offensive by the ruling class against the working class.
Even my teenager thinks it's one of the best things on tv.
You don’t get to thank veterans for their service and then gut the VA.
Donald Trump’s reckless DOGE cuts have eliminated tens of thousands of VA jobs where about a third of those workers are veterans themselves.
Oh, can't forget those "Love Is..." books, too!
Add in the Erma Bombeck books, toss in a handful of history tomes, and you'll be taking me right back to the bookshelves of my childhood.
Add in CNN's Have I Got News for You, Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, and swap in Seth Meyers for Fallon, and you'll have a solid lineup! 👏
This is a power grab. If you’re not speaking out everyday, you WILL lose your right to vote.
Shout out to everyone who said we already survived Trump's first term, how bad could a second one be?
Oil up by $12 a barrel in less than 12 hours.
Gas prices skyrocketing.
Almost 100,000 jobs lost last month.
Another war in the Middle East.
Are we great again yet?
We can throw another $500,000,000,000 at the Pentagon this year and spend $1,000,000,000/day on a wholly useless war, but we can't afford to hire doctors and nurses to take care of our veterans? The United States is such an irresponsible, messed up country right now.
Can’t wait for the Benghazi 2.0 hearings to happen over abandoning US Officials and Diplomats across the Middle East because a child rapist and money launderer is being blackmailed to start a war on behalf of Benjamin Netanyahu.
Bones is my comfort show. Did two complete rewatches last year. Wanted something similar and got an online recommendation of Castle, which I'd never seen. Gotta say, it doesn't disappoint (though I'm just a bit into S7 now, & I hear this is where it went downhill).
Samesies. Love my EV, and have only the tiniest bit of guilt whenever I let my husband know that charging my car overnight cost less than $10. 🤷♀️
DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.
He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.
The grift continues.
And this is all he had to replace Noem.
Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs
All of our living presidents who still have a sense of decency gathered to honor Rev. Jesse Jackson.
Respect recognizes respect.
It’s almost like we didn’t think this through.
This heartbreaking story is just one out of millions of Americans starving because Washington Republicans kicked millions off SNAP in order to pay for more tax breaks for billionaires. I’ll keep fighting to reverse these cuts so Americans can stop worrying about where their next meal will come from.
Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"

Today's abysmal jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy.
What's required is investment in working people — and better wages.
When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs.
Remember this.
You know, State Department procedure is to help people leave _before_ hostilities begin. Trump/Rubio must have deliberately countermanded procedures, intentionally leaving Americans stranded. IOW it wasn't merely their incompetence but rather an actual decision.
Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:
The lack of media coverage about the bombing of the girls elementary schools is shocking.
The U.S. war on Iran is now estimated to cost $1 billion per day. Meanwhile Americans are told there’s no money for healthcare, hospitals, or basic social programs.
