Trump on gas prices: "if they rise, they rise"

Trump on gas prices: "if they rise, they rise"

β€œIf they rise, they rise.” β€” Donald Trump on YOUR gas prices spiking to the highest of either of his terms. He’s not worried. Are you? #TrumpsGasProblem

Just a reminder that Muslims have been on this continent since the first arrival of non-Indigenous people. They were among the first generation of Americans, and have been here ever since.

Belgium MP Paul Magnette: β€œNot 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”

Every new disgusting revelation from the Epstein files is yet another reason for holding Bondi accountable for this heinous coverup.
Bondi must be impeached, convicted, disbarred, & imprisoned.

Every single member of Congress that hasn't spoken up and acted is complicit in the murder and destruction of every single country we are going to war with and they should be put on trial too. Disgusting. #USA #America #Congress

Trump’s β€˜roaring’ economy meets a rough start to 2026: What the latest numbers show President Donald Trump promised that 2026 would be a bumper year for economic growth. Instead it's kicked off with job losses, rising gasoline prices and more uncertainty about America’s future.

If at any time you believed Trump when he said this would be the new golden age for America, then bought be a fool. Just like any common con man what he was selling was fool's gold.

Last year Trump slashed funds for healthcare & food programs. Now he's spending $1 BILLION PER DAY on his war of choice in Iran.

While millions here at home can't afford their basic needs, Trump is spending billions on a regime change war that's making us less safe.

The breakdown in this about the Paramount Warner Brothers deal and why it is a near deathblow to free speech is excellent. "The Larry Ellison MAGA media takeover."

Thank you for writing about what so many who were concerned about the Netflix deal destroying the movie business failed to understand. The Paramount Warner Brothers deal is a dystopian nightmare for Hollywood in general, not just the movie theatres.

We’ve got to keep the Epstein victims and survivors centered while we pursue transparency and accountability.

Their stories must be told.

The Kurds would be fools to trust Trump after what Trump did to them the last time he was in office. Like, seriously?

No one should cooperate with America. You have our support to seriously refuse to cooperate with these psychopaths. The vast majority of our country is being held hostage.

In fact, if your govt is considering regime change, please start here.

If 25% of US citizens want the war, it would appear that the 25% overrides the wishes of the 75%. Maybe the mid-terms will even that out πŸ€”. I agree that the UK and Europe should stop massaging his ego and applauding his crap decision making.

And yes, knowing that troops are being sent into battle sans Rules of Engagement is a big stressor for me. It honestly makes me sick to my stomach knowing that is happening. Knowing America has become this.

As many are noting, historically in the recent past and overall in world military and diplomatic history, external attacks and assassinations have a bad track record in toppling regimes, particularly without sustained commitment to military occupation. Instead they tend to strengthen the state. πŸ—ƒοΈ

Congress used to have a Constitutional role in authorizing the use of force by the United States. Congress debated and declared wars, acted to authorize the president to use force short of needing a declaration. Congress even had a role if just by dint of high level briefings. Apparently, no more.πŸ—ƒοΈ

The multinational Iran Nuclear Deal, Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), was working by almost every account and the US withdrew in May 2018, it has all been getting worse in US-Iran relations since then. Though there is a longer history at work... Accurate on the recent history for sureπŸ—ƒοΈ πŸ‘‡

Netflix Lost Warner. Maybe That’s a Good Thing.

Whelp, Americans get fucked over by the MAGA oligarchs again, and of course, the @nytimes.com is spinning it as a good thing. The worse thing to happen to the media landscape is handing yet another outlet to David Ellison.😑
