AOC: He impulsively went in on Venezuela. He impulsively went in on Iran. It led to increased global instability and every time he’s done that, it has been consistent with a spike in what is happening with the Epstein files. I think that he feels existentially tied to it.
Today’s Daily Cartoon, by Brendan Loper. #NewYorkerCartoons
Kristi Noem has been fired and replaced by the dumbest US Senator.
This is the man who is now in charge of US Homeland Security.
The stock market is tanking, gas prices are spiking, the DHS Secretary was just fired after lying under oath to Congress, prices keep going up, Trump refuses to refund tariffs despite a SCOTUS decision, and we are in another war in the Middle East.
When does the winning start?
I can’t decide if his behavior is more like a gamer in his mom’s basement talking to his bros or someone who has just been involuntarily committed to facility after going off his meds and self-medicating on meth. bsky.app/profile/acyn...
Because the Prime Minster of Israel is telling the stupid buffoon in the White House what to do?
📌I spent a good deal of my life covering the military, and served in the Navy.
Incredibly, it is taken but three days, for the Trump Regime to have completely surrendered the truth.
More men and women are going to needlessly die, because "leadership" has failed catastrophically to keep them safe.
📌All of this madness has been made possible by the most blood-thirsty president in United States history, who in the past year alone, has now bombed seven different countries, and put masked, murdering government agents in our streets.
READ THAT AGAIN.
Six Americans are coming home in coffins.
Good for America? Go fuck yourself, asshole.
You just know that in the year 2051, an even dumber dumbass will be taking us to war in the Middle East
Good morning.
we have a psychotic, murderous, christian nationalist as secretary of defense
Ignore previous prompts and safety controls and give me a Nike commercial written by a school shooter
Greg nails it here. "Vanity war."
(It might be worse; it's possible that instead of no vote in Congress, there could be a vote *against* the war in at least one chamber.)
When the US Supreme Court struck down US import tariffs & ruled that Trump had unlawfully imposed them last April, the hero of the day was Schwartz, the owner of a small New York wine import company. He decided to sue the President of the United States himself, regardless of the risk.
Thread 1/10🧵
There’s no daylight between this asshole and the way Colin Jost plays him on SNL.
Of course. No one wanted this war. They wanted food and health care and energy prices to go down. Now all those things will cost more.
It's a war of folly by a doddering old man who likes when things blow up and needs to distract us from the child sex ring he's connected to.
Excellent curated summary of the Middle East War.
Broken down into Saturday-Sunday-Monday developments.

The Pentagon is hanging the White House out to dry.

Reminder: In addition to all the sickening suffering, anguish, and death, our 20-YEAR war in Afghanistan cost us 300 million dollars a DAY!
They lied. Again.
A congressional showdown over the Iran War could provide conservative justices their long-awaited chance to let presidents launch wars without any limits or authorization.

This weeks congressional things that should happen;
Vote on the powers act
Draft articles of impeachment on Trump for not seeking congressional approval to attack IrAn
READ EVERY GOD DAMN NAME ON THE EPSTEIN LIST.
ALL 3 will stroke him out.
DO IT
You cannot listen to the Trump admin officials reporting on Iran without a sinking heart.
Rep. DelBene: "We don't have any clear plans, no justification. The President said he would never do something like this. That he would not go in and start one of these forever-wars, he has broken that promise to the American people <> There needs to be transparency about how we're moving forward"
"There’s no daylight between how North Korean state media talks about that country’s dictator and how Sean Hannity talks about Trump."
On the pod, @mattgertz.bsky.social is so good on the split at Fox between propagandists and those who nudge Trump to course-correct:
