The Trump administration took your money illegally.

They won’t give it back.

Inside the Pentagon, there was deepening concern Sunday that the Iran conflict could spiral out of control. β€œThe mood here is intense and paranoid,” one person said.

There is anxiety among senior leaders that the fighting will extend for weeks, further stressing limited U.S. air defense stockpiles.

Jeffries: "We're seeing the beginning of an all-out war in the Middle East at the same time Trump & his administration & Republicans have cut more than a trillion dollars from Medicaid, ripped away food in terms of nutritional assistance, & they're spending our taxpayer dollars to start another war"

For Trump, a military conflict with Iran would distract from:

-Epstein files
-His deadly deportation agenda
-Losing on tariffs at SCOTUS
-Tanking polls
-His devastating (and unpopular) budget bill
-Millions of people protesting his authoritarianism

When he's cornered, he lashes out. Be warned.

Paramount should enjoy its growing news monopoly while they have it because when Democrats win back power we are going to break up these anti-democratic information conglomerates. All of them.

β€œgood stewards of the American people’s tax money” - coming from this guy and this administration is pretty rich. Where do I begin with the level of fraud and historic corruption coming from him and his boss?

Good speech but the staged audience and forced clapping reads inauthentic. Just talk to us. Simply. Lose the rest of it.

All of us nerds are weeping tonight. RIP Robert Carradine. He led the iconic Revenge of the Nerds franchise but also much more. Grew up watching many of his films. He was only 71.

Turns Out There Was Voter Fraud in Georgiaβ€”by Elon Musk The state board of elections found Musk’s PAC sent prefilled ballot applications.

The story that Elon Musk committed voter fraud has gotten next to no coverage -- one of those things you can't make come up on a Google search.

But I think it's time for Dems to go on offensive abt right wing coddling of this immigrant interfering in our elections.

Loverboy’s Paul Dean turns 80 today.

Of β€œWorking for the Weekend,” he said: β€œ.. unlike us part time musicians, .. our fans are still .. working their butts off, waiting for that 5 o’clock .. And then there they are, every time we come into town .. ready to rock. It’s definitely a Call to Action.”

I don't think you go to a play to forget, or to a movie to be distracted. I think life generally is a distraction and that going to a movies is a way to get back, not go away. Tom Noonan

Oh no! I just found out that one of my favorite character actors died: Tom Noonan always brought such humanity to every role he played. A towering, unforgettable figure, he also gave us one of my most-used quotations on why film isn't really escapism. RIP
