Fmr. Navy Commander Jason Knapp: “We seem to be claiming victory and yet then going right back into the same battle space to reassert those same battles all over again.” Trump keeps declaring Iran’s military “destroyed,” even as the U.S. launches new strikes. Declaring victory doesn’t make it true.
"'There's God. And then there's Trump.' ... I don't even know what I'm watching with these psychos." -- Ben Meiselas on the unhinged behavior of MAGA Republicans
Tennessee Brando on Trump voters waking up: "I'm glad they're speaking out, but I can't give them a full pass. If you got duped the first go around in 2016, that's one thing ... but if you lived through Jan 6th and you still hung with him ... then, I mean, you're the reason we're here."
AOC on Trump’s reported plan to use $1.7 billion in IRS funds to compensate January 6 insurrectionists and pardoned fraudsters: “He’s using the entire government as a slush fund… one of the most unpatriotic and un-American acts I’ve seen in my entire life.”
Ben Meiselas unloads on the Trump administration: “They put the worst possible people in every position. Linda McMahon opposes public education, and EPA officials want to dismantle the United States Environmental Protection Agency. They appoint people who want to destroy the agencies they lead.”
Disturbing new video posted by Israeli Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir shows him taunting detained pro-Palestinian flotilla activists being held in horrifying conditions. In the footage, Ben-Gvir can be seen shouting at the handcuffed activists while appearing to gloat over their detention.
C-SPAN caller regrets drinking Donald Trump's Kool-Aid: "He put us in a war. All he wants right now is for a clean face — he wants the Strait of Hormuz open. Guess what? Before he went there, it was open, and the gas prices were beautiful. Everything this man touches..when are people gonna wake up?"
Trump has dispatched Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry to Nuuk with an ultimatum to Greenland: give up your sovereignty by Trump’s birthday—or else. The Trump regime calls it a “negotiation” for a permanent U.S. military presence. Greenland and Denmark see it as a direct threat to their sovereignty.
MeidasTouch: Trump made 3,700 stock trades in the first quarter of this year. What do you make of this? Tuberville: I do the same thing. That’s how this country runs. I get sick and tired of hearing Republicans and Democrats say we need to stop all this trading.

Trump promised to lower costs on Day One. Instead, CNN's latest polling shows Americans cutting groceries, skipping medical treatment, and taking on second jobs just to get by. This is Trump's economy.
Über den Umgang von Trump mit diesem Krieg und den "Allierten". Sehenswerte drei Minuten mit @michaelsteele.bsky.social . Das ist übrigens keine Parteinahme. Sondern der vernünftige, mit moralischem Kompass versehene Blick auf die Dinge, der sich der Normalisierung des Faschismus verweigert:

I asked the minister why pharmacies in Thornbury and Yate aren’t getting more referrals from GPs - and getting paid for their work.
Moscow stands to gain from higher energy prices and the diversion of air-defences to the Middle East. EU Foreign Ministers were clear that Ukraine remains Europe’s top security priority. Attention for Ukraine will not be allowed to fizzle out. Extract from my press conference ↓

Trump is golfing again today at another Trump property. These trips add up costing taxpayers millions. Why doesn’t the GOP cut these trips instead of food assistance for poor children?

❓ Why is the VIN Community important? a. Your spouse might not want to hear about that gnarly cat bite abscess. b. Your friends still think you play with puppies all day. c. Doctors need support, too. d. All of the above. If you answered "d", give yourself a click and a cookie.
A food bank CEO said fuel costs went from $14,000 to $24,000 a month. That extra $10,000? It was going to feed people. Now it feeds a gas tank. This is the economy they’re bragging about. Tell me again who’s winning.
Gross incompetence in hiring for important jobs. Chief hostage negotiators usually require decades of experience in the FBI and go thru extensive training. What an insult to hire someone so unqualified to manage hostage rescues.
There was a time many thought Phillip had potential. The CNN went through their first MAGA move with Chris Licht and it became clear Phillip was your average careerism extremist and willing to do the 'group think' thing. Playing low to Jennings indicated far worse and limited skill and talent.
