There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.

DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate β€” and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.

He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.

The grift continues.

Athletes Keep Letting Trump Make Fools Out of Them Trump’s β€œCollege Sports Roundtable” is Friday. It’s the latest example of how those in sports who deal with him wind up

Out of all the things he could be doing right now, Trump is hosting a College Sports Roundtable at the White House to discuss issues facing college sports.

He’s the chairman.
Ron DeSantis is one of the vice chairs.
Not a single college athlete was invited.

British Columbia is switching their clocks for the last time this Sunday.

There's a lot going on in the world right now, but there is NO reason to not make daylight saving time permanent.

Congress should pass my bill to finally lock the clock.

How much is the war with Iran costing the US? One bipartisan think tank puts the cost of the Iran war at some $891 million a day for the first four days of the attack β€” or $3.7 billion total.

DoD won't say how much Operation Epic Fury might cost, but one bipartisan think tank is putting the price tag at some $891M a day for the first four days of the attackβ€”or $3.7B total.

Good news that the execrable Kristi Noem has been fired, but Trump should really be firing Stephen Miller, the primary engineer of the vile ethnic reengineering agenda and murderously violent civic tensions that are sucking all of them into a bottomless political sinkhole, Trump included.

Americans are dead. Prices are skyrocketing. The Middle East is on fire. Civil war is brewing in Iran.

And for what? A war that will leave the same hardliners in charge? A war that can't actually destroy their nuclear program?

This is incompetence. Plain and simple.

Not gonna share the video of Republican US Senator Tim Sheehy breaking a protesting Marine's hand, but you can find it on @charlotteclymer.bsky.social's timeline.

I'll just say that in a functional country, Sheehy would be expelled by the Senate.

Democratic Senators should publicly push for that.

Here's what I believe: no more business as usual in the Senate. We shouldn't be voting to proceed to normal legislation until Republicans schedule a debate and a vote and on a declaration of war against Iran. Let's see if Trump has the votes to authorize war. I bet he doesn't.

When the media covers war, every other topic fades Trump will do anything to distract from the political damage of the Epstein files

'Subjects that were dominating the news last week are brushed aside. Instead, it’s all war, all the time.'

@sulliview.bsky.social reminds readers not to lose sight of the (many, many) topics that Trump doesn't want you to pay attention to

A thorn in Trump's side his first term were senators at the end of their careers who couldn't be pressured -- McCain, Corker, even Flake.

I think we're about to see a new wave of those folks, and whatever the motive -- true repentance or shameless ass-covering -- they'll help erode his standing
