Florida gas prices have skyrocketed in response to the conflict in Iran. On Monday, the state average was $3.49, the most expensive daily average since August 2024, according to AAA. The state average is $0.60 more than a week ago, $0.63 more than a month ago and $0.39 more than this time last year.

Just another normal morning where the President of the United States shares completely false claims from a conspiracy theory site. I’ve confirmed with election officials in Maricopa County that this is 100% BS.

Right, JD.

Today the United States wasted another #1B on an illegal war in Iran, money that could have been spent on funding health care or providing SNAP benefits or cancer research or academic scholarships for minorities. I could go on and on but I think you get my point. #endtheiranwarnow

Are we allowed to get the rest of the Epstein files now?

Why do I now feel that Hegseth acts like a kid playing video games in his mom's basement and screaming at every hit on the Call of Duty screen? This is his "manhood" and when the war goes south and Trump blames him, he will join the Incels and blame it all on women.

voters elected trump to make them rich. oh well.

Velshi Banned Book Club: ‘The Man in the High Castle’ by Philip K. Dick “The Man in the High Castle” explores the sort of “what if” question that plagues the imagination of anyone who has ever thought critically about our history books, our involvement in war, our past, and what it all might mean for our present. “It allows you to think ‘what if I'm reading the present wrong? What if we did lose to fascism?’” notes author Jonathan Lethem. “I don’t think it has ever failed to be relevant.”

"The Man in the High Castle" by Philip K. Dick asks what humanity, morality and creativity look like in the face of evil. "He’s asking you to experience a kind of vertigo," says author Jonathan Lethem. "It allows you to think 'what if I'm reading the present wrong?'" #VelshiBannedBookClub #Velshi

Watchdog: Military commanders accused of framing Iran war in religious terms A nonprofit military watchdog says it has received hundreds of complaints from U.S. service members alleging their commanders invoked Christian prophecy and other religious rhetoric to frame the U.S. ...

A military watchdog says it received hundreds of complaints from service members alleging commanders invoked religious rhetoric to frame the U.S. war on Iran. Army Col. Jack Jacobs (Ret.) warns,“To the extent that you turn it into a religious war, you almost guarantee your own defeat.” #Velshi

“He had a feeling” is a crazy reason to start a war

A budget is a moral document.

Image of Donald Trump at a campaign event with a woman raising her hands beside him. The graphic includes text accusing political and religious figures of hypocrisy while children are harmed through abuse, poverty, and war.

Faith used as cover for cruelty while children suffer. Shameful.

#SheShed #Voices4Victory

Fox News using the body of a service member who sacrificed his life for his country to scrub the image of an incoherent narcissist who lied to avoid his own service. Disgraceful.

.Have a peaceful Sunday everyone.

‘I did not vote for this’: Thousands of public comments slam Trump’s ballroom A Post analysis of submitted comments found more than 97 percent were critical of the planned 90,000-square-foot addition. The White House has defended it as necessary.

A small federal agency reviewing Trump's ballroom has received tens of thousands of public comments.

More than 97% oppose the project, per WaPo analysis.

"I did not vote for this," one 3x Trump voter wrote.

The Justice Department has posted online three FBI interviews related to sexual assault allegations against Donald Trump that had been missing from the massive trove of Epstein files released by the Department of Justice.

I’m sure if Biden posted late one Sat night that he wanted the governor of Louisiana to rush a hospital ship to Greenland for a serious medical emergency in their populace at a time when we had no hospital ships available and there was no emergency the media would also ignore it.

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.

Balint to Noem: "You're the secretary of DHS -- for now. And you think you're immune from accountability. But I promise you this: one day he is not gonna be president anymore. And when that day comes, we will still be here. And in hearings like this, we are going to continue to prove your guilt."

Hate to say it, but the Felon has been successful distracting from Epstein.

Even MSNOW is like 99% about Iran.

Not good.

Here's what R Rep. Brian Mast just said on CNN about Markwayne Mullin: "He's a close friend. We used to work out together. He can't do as many pull-ups as me, but..he's still a strong pick."

Boy, thank you, Brian...for that deep and incredibly thorough analysis. I think we can all feel better now.🙄

Of course, Trump has another "position" for Noem.
I think it was LBJ who said, "I'd rather have them on the inside of the tent, pissing out, than on the outside, pissing in. It's a form of control.

You couldn't make this shit up.

Every accusation is a confession. Every last one.

Republicans are masters of projection. Masters of hypocrisy.

James Talarico’s victory in the Texas Democratic Senate primary shows the power of a class-focused political message. His campaign emphasized economic populism and working-class unity rather than traditional Democratic Party messaging or identity politics.

Hopefully, the system doesn't crush him.
