Carney needs strong, credible, skeptical advisers at his side. More important, he needs to learn that you can never trust a liar.

The unifying feature of Trump administration foreign and security "policy" is a failure to understand anything at all about strategy, like even at a conceptual level
"The dumb, politically correct wars of the past were the opposite of what we're doing here. They had vague objectives with restrictive, minimalist rules of engagement. No more." โ Hegseth yesterday.
This is the regime Trump has been coddling in its efforts to take over another country.
Trump is surrendering our leadership in science, innovation, and economic and military might
"Over the last year, the Trump administration has sent one discouraging message after another to young people aspiring to a scientific career in the US..."

I just wrote a @Leadnowca.bsky.social letter: Email Senators: Vote YES to lowering the voting age. Write one here: actionnetwork.org/letters/bill...
True. But we also need to make sure that DC elite opinion does not end up framing this as a substantive change and that Trump somehow "learned" or "softened his tone". Same shit. Different figurehead. But a win is a win.
Kristi Noem got fired, and Jay Bhattachrya got promoted recently.
This suggests that Trump and Republicans are pivoting away from immigration and pivoting towards MAHA for the midterms.
I truly do think all of the "Noem out, Mullin in" posts and stories are failing American democracy right now!
Trump is announcing his nominee.
That's it.
If the Senate majority wants to confirm him, they're a part of thisโeven after knowing what they know now.
And that matters come November.
Last year when I was checking into a hotel, the desk person was wearing Meta glasses. I kindly asked them to take them off. They were annoyed. I said, โI do not consent to you looking at my credit card and ID with Meta glasses on.โ My instincts were correct: www.bbc.com/news/article...

So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.
That's roughly $1 billion per day.
$41,666,667 per hour.
$11,574 per second.
People do not want this.
They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.
Oh all of a sudden the bullshit demand that has been a litmus test for Israel advocates for some reason doesn't count?
Like Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
To think of it, the people who don't want more immigrants coming to their countries should really be the biggest advocates for addressing climate change. But nope. They just want to let people die where they are.

Jamie Raskin is On Fire
Confronts Kristi Noem about her luxury jets with a bedroom with multiple flat screen tvs and a kitchen, that she now claims are for deportations
And her special government employee Corey Lewandowski firing a coast guard pilot because her favorite blankie was left on a plane
Thought that reposting this might help make sense of the present moment. A reality TV president trying to manufacture a reality TV war - at home and abroad.
Spanish PM Sรกnchez responds to Trump:
"Spain is against this disaster... Govts are here to improve people's lives... It is absolutely unacceptable that those leaders who are unable to fulfill that mission use the smoke of war to hide their failure, and in the process, fill the pockets of a few."
"We're not going to be complicit in something that's bad for the world," Pedro Sanchez said.

Ok. You've all convinced me. I'm in.
I'm running for Senate against billionaire Pete Ricketts In Nebraska.
This race represents the foundational battle taking place in America right now:
The Billionaire Class vs. The Working Class
Who's with me?

What just happened in Dallas County is one of the most blatant voter suppression operations I've ever seenโand it happened in a *primary*.
In March. Imagine November.
I broke it down here:

Israeli map showing all of southern Lebanon in red with yellow arrows pointing to north of the Litani river
The IDF just ordered the *entirety of south Lebanon* to be forcibly displaced.
They are emptying the land of its population, creating a massive crisis, and will now proceed to further annihilate large parts of Lebanon.
The very nation state of Lebanon is being destroyed.
It'd be great if we'd not invent new forms of animal cruelty. Or at least, you know, not diffuse cruelty around the globe.
A fully viable alternative would be to reduce meat consumption, and/or invest in lab-grown mest and other kinds of non-animal proteins.
BREAKING: Roy Cooper is officially our Senate nominee in North Carolina.
This makes NC our best Senate pickup opportunity in 2026.

Israel struck a hotel in Hazmieh, where most of my family lives (everyoneโs okay)
No idea about casualties yet.
They also killed at least 6 ppl in Aramoun and Saadiyat.
None of these 3 are โHezbollah strongholdsโ as media outlets like to call them
