"If I did not hit them 1st then they would have hit our allies 1st" so Trump admits America was not under immediate threat from Iran?

Doesn't sound like America 1st to me

Trump went from saying the war with Iran won't end until we have "unconditional surrender" and it could be months to instantly claiming "it's all over" in the last hour before the stock market closed.

That is market manipulation.

The silence is deafening from most “pro-life” conservatives about Trump bombing an elementary school.

Trump just claimed the Tomahawk missile that destroyed an Iranian girls’ school, killing 160 children, “could have been anyone’s.”

Question: Has someone in our government been illegally selling them to Iran, or is he lying?

Either option is bad. One is a lie, the other is treason.

They think we’re stupid.
We’ve seen the gas prices because we’ve paid them along with all the extra money we paid in tariffs.

Trump has another problem.
GAS.

Grammarly turned me into an AI editor against my will and I hate it The company tells Platformer it will let experts opt out of the controversial feature — but how different is it than what every other AI company is doing?

"Grammarly curated a list of real people, gave its models free rein to hallucinate plausible-sounding advice on their behalf, and put it all behind a subscription. That's a deliberate choice to monetize the identities of real people without involving them, and it sucks." @caseynewton.bsky.social

Is Hegseth finally going to admit he bombed the elementary school, take responsibility and apologize, or is this another Neanderthal session of chest-beating trash-talking bullshit?

Several people who cast a single mistaken ballot were sent to prison for years. A Georgia Republican official who voted illegally nine times? Just a $5,000 fine. Apparently “election integrity” is a lot more forgiving when the offender has the right party affiliation.

The paid grifters, partisan hacks, and bots are out in force—misleading people about the Constitution and the law—to defend Trump’s unconstitutional war.

Installed in the middle of the night.

No ceremony. No recognition.

5 years late.

The Republican majority continues to disgrace the brave law enforcement officers who put their lives on the line to defend our democracy on January 6, 2021.

In Scathing Ruling, Judge Says 3 Trump Prosecutors Are in Unlawful Roles

An absurd situation. Gift link.

FYI, Chief Judge Brann is a conservative Republican. Don’t be confused by his being nominated by Obama, that’s a Pa. quirk, he was picked by Toomey.

Remember Tiffany Henyard? The embattled Mayor of a Chicago suburb that pretty much defrauded the city? She lost re-election in 2025 and moved out of the state shortly thereafter.

She landed in Georgia, became a Republican, and is now running for Fulton County Commissioner!

Alexander Butterfield, the Nixon aide who disclosed Watergate tapes, dies at 99 The recordings exposed President Richard Nixon's role in the cover-up that followed the 1972 burglary at Democratic Party headquarters at the Watergate building – and hastened his resignation.

We desperately need an Alexander Butterfield today to bring down *another* corrupt Republican president.

This presser is fucking insane.

Trump threatened to target Iranian electricity production and “hit them so hard that nobody can ever rebuild in that location”

That’s not a thing. Even if we nuked them.

He also said we’re bombing Iran to help China. Batshit crazy.

The US and Israel made a martyr out of an 86 year old man with prostate cancer on deaths door and destroyed the momentum of the opposition inside Iran, lost global standing, failed to protect its bases in the region, endangered all allies; in no way was this a victory.

Schlossberg: If this becomes the new normal and the president is able to trademark America’s birthday and issue his own currency while weakening the dollar, having gold skyrocket, and increasing prices on every commodity and input cost in our economy, we’re getting screwed and he’s getting rich.

Just walked by a colleague's classroom after my class finished and he was talking about Elvis, getting blank stares and so he had to ask "Does anyone know who Elvis Presley is?"

It's rough out here on these teaching streets.

Last week, a trial began to determine whether Elon Musk misled Twitter shareholders over his 2022 purchase of the co.

On X, he's been posting his contempt for the trial and praise from followers that "he lost billions of his own money so they internet could stay free."

(Twitter was alway free.)

Musk's tweets/retweets about the trial have been an issue for the judge in this case. In court this morning, Justice Breyer raised the issue that these kinds of posts could bias the jury if they inadvertently came across them. Today he asked jurors if they had seen any publicity related to the case.
