Salt water laced with cancer-causing chemicals, a byproduct of oil and gas drilling, keeps shooting out of the ground in Oklahoma.
Experts say it means even more wastewater is spreading underground, poisoning the state’s water supply.

Belgium MP Paul Magnette: “Not one of our soldiers, not one of our weapons, should go for Trump’s war in Iran. We must say no to Trump, like Spain did”

In 2024, Donald Trump campaigned on two big promises: (1) he'd bring down gas prices; and (2) he'd not start any new wars.
In 2026, Donald Trump will cause gas prices to spike astronomically by starting a new war.
He's smart—and trustworthy—like that.

Another day of interest on the tariffs Trump collected and refuses to give back. American consumers paid the tariffs, American taxpayers pay the interest on Trump holding onto the money as long as possible. Every day the bill goes up.

Vietnam War - 17 years/58,220 U.S. KIA;
Iraq War - 7 years/4,826 U.S. KIA;
Afghanistan War - 20 years/2,459 U.S. KIA.
So much for the United States' vastly overwhelming military superiority.

That was also true in Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan.

AOC: The Pentagon has not passed an audit, and they are out here trying to kick people with disabilities off of Medicaid. It is corruption that is stealing from the public coffers — and that is the actual waste, fraud, and abuse.

AOC: They wanted to issue this statement as though we’re just going after these 30-year-old men on Medicaid playing video games in their basement, right? This was the narrative that we heard.
First of all, I think everyone should have healthcare in America, regardless of who you are

Screenshot of an X post by “No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen” claiming Costco is demanding that Trump reimburse them for tariffs so they can refund customers. Below are two images side by side: the Costco Wholesale logo and a photo of Donald Trump looking at a phone while reporters hold microphones near him.
This is what all big companies should be doing.

HE CHEATED.
I question the intelligence of anyone saying this is false and voter suppression.
He's Putin's Puppet, and corrupt Russia has infiltrated our government on every level, and in both parties. The sooner we admit this problem, the sooner we can start fixing it. Until then, we are f****d.

TAPPER: You know that if you vote against an additional $50 billion of funding for operations in Iran, that vote will be cast as you voting against the troops.
CHRIS MURPHY: Come on. The American people do not want this war. If you support the troops, you should be voting against this war.

Chris Murphy: "I think it's likely the United States that carried out this attack on this school. I think it's unforgivable under any circumstances, but the fact this was one of our first targeting decisions speaks to the incompetence of our leadership at the Dept of Defense."

I don't guess it occurred to Ms. Bruce - brilliant journalist that she no doubt is - to follow that up with, say, "Then why haven't they DONE it already?" Maybe Iran was just waiting around for a magical can of Popeye's Spinach that'll suddenly give it the power to kick ass all over the Middle East?

Republican/Conservative subversion from Reagan to Orange Julius. Getting away with crushing the underprivileged by making middling white men think they too can be one of them.

Clinton had us debt-free by 2010. Bush blew it. Obama fixed it. Trump crashed it. Biden fixed it. Trump crashed it again — 92,000 jobs gone last month. Want a good economy? Elect Democrats.

The Ellisons’ new Paramount/Warner Bros mega-media monopoly would never pass muster if America still had antitrust enforcers.
So who can stop this? State attorneys general. Here's how. ⬇️

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:
Tax cuts for the rich
...don’t trickle down
Boosting military spending
...doesn’t bring peace
Slashing regulations
...doesn’t create jobs
Folks, we’ve seen this all before.

This is *nothing* dignified about wearing a cheap baseball cap that promotes yourself to the otherwise solemn ceremony to receive the bodies of the troops you had killed to distract from your bad economy and rampant pedophilia.
