B@stards are threatening ICE detainees with the WRAP. If you haven't read about it, the WRAP is a tool of torture.

-βMeasles outbreaks are the cost of doing businessβ Ralph Abraham out as his Dumbass Deputy
-Venomous podcaster Vinay Prasad out at FDA.
Yet human cassowary and denim enthusiast RFK Jr. remains.
The same day WaPo reports that Russia has provided Iran with intelligence on locations of US ships, aircraft, personnel and assets in the Middle East, Trumpβs Treasury Secretary announces the administration is removing Russian oil sanctions.
every techbro is the dumbest guy in the frat tripped into a canyon, landed on a billion dollars and decided it made them a generational intellect
Every single time a new outlet feels compelled to interview an unremarkable billionaire they should pause and ask themselves if there isn't an under-represented artist, scientist, activist, engineer, or academic actually doing useful/interesting things that's more deserving of your readership's time
you'll notice there's absolutely no depth of bad judgement that's disqualifying for treating these guys like hybrid philosopher geniuses provided they still retain the immense wealth they backed into ass first
something underappreciated about Trump is that nobody loves falling asleep in boring, interminable meetings more than him
"The Supreme Court ought to be ashamed of itself!" -- Trump is now working himself up into a frothing rage
Is that Condoleezza Rice shaking his hand at the end?
Trump: "A lot of our people were walking around without legs"
The killing of Iranian children during an illegal war is an impeachable offense (not to mention a grave crime) and Congress should really act like it.
15 Republicans in the Senate could end this nightmare before it somehow gets even worse.
If we survive this, I really hope parents take a long look at how they are teaching empathy to their children. It's so obvious that that is the missing ingredient in huge chunks of the population, amplified by social media algorithms and cultural rewards for reactions rather than thoughtfulness.
NEW: Sen. Peter Welch (D-VT) & Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) launch review of $220 million taxpayer-funded Dept of Homeland Security ad campaign w/ Kristi Noem
Senators seek records about "circumstances surrounding the awarding of this lucrative, no-bid contract..."
Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:
Pakistan faces the severe and first direct economic impact of the #Iran-Israel war as the government decided to hike the #petrol price by Rs55 taking the per-liter rate up to Rs321.17. This will leave the people in dire straits given the already weak economic conditions facing the country.

Pakistan deployed 100% Chinese air defense systems to Saudi Arabia: LY-80 medium-range system & FM-90 short-range system. youtu.be/VW5YN_M3lRY
There have been some very bad developments today.
Indonesia suspends its participation in Board of Peace
βIndonesian FM Sugiono said the decision to suspend participation was taken because of the latest military escalation in the region, which has directly affected the foreign policy priorities of countries involved in the initiativeβ
We could be lowering the cost of health care, but instead Trump is spending BILLIONS on his reckless war with Iran.
Trump is blowing YOUR taxpayer dollars on war & causing gas prices to spike while he's at it.
1. no, New England private school is not different
2. can we circle back to "out on the water working every day" when he claims 100% disability from the VA? and didn't take a salary from the campaign (his wife did) because that would risk those benefits?
Buttigieg: Youβve got money from the Middle East going into the Trump family crypto fund while you have Americans going to the Middle East for Donald Trumpβs war.
Graves: Thereβs been reporting that some troops have been told that this is about starting Armageddon.
Warner: I donβt know whether thatβs coming from the White House or just from specific military commanders.
Young Republicans repeatedly getting busted for group chats filled with violent racism, anti-Semitism, & misogyny. The latest involves the Miami GOP Sec. & the Pres. of Turning Point USA FIU.
Iβve got the horrid details & thoughts on why the GOPβs future is in the gutter.
youtu.be/3_JK6Mr8Gg0?...
What kind of dumb shit take is this?!
"Asked whether Americans should be worried about retaliatory attacks at home, Trump acknowledges the possibility. 'I guess,' he says."
Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say βSend meβ wherever we have a chance to make an impact.
How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.
