Over the last 22 years, the USA has spent 10 trillion dollars fighting wars. This is insane.

The GOP just passed a bill most of them vehemently disagree with — and that they know is going to harm their constituents — because they’re afraid of Trump.

Pretty pathetic stuff.

Quite the UNH poll of Maine:

Governor Janet Mills' favorability is 51/41
Senator Susan Collins' is ... 14/57.

Among independents, Collins' favorability is a startling 8/60.

NBC: Mike Lee's attempt to sell off 2 million acres of public land to benefit the wealthy was found to be in violation of the Byrd Rule by the Senate Parliamentarian.

All it means is he has to rewrite it.

HANDS OFF OUR PUBLIC LANDS! Rep. Melanie Stansbury is sounding the alarm: Senate Republicans are trying to sneak a massive public land sell-off into reconciliation. Millions of acres—gone to developers. Even in crisis, we fight back. Call your senators.
Raise hell. 🌲⛰️

Some good news, amongst all the bad. The Senate parliamentarian ruled that the MAGA-GOP attempt to block federal courts from holding the Executive branch accountable via contempt findings can't be included in the budget reconciliation bill:

As major American cities brace for potential terrorist attacks in retaliation against the U.S. air strikes on Iran, it’s reassuring to know that Trump just appointed a 22-year-old former gardener and grocery store assistant to lead U.S. terror prevention. 🥺

Now we have the dumbest president and vp. Palin and Quayle must be chuffed
What an obsequious piece of excrement.

For the record, I’d take ANY president in modernity ahead of the orange festering boil on the ass of America.
Vance: I empathize with Americans who are exhausted after 25 years of foreign entanglements in the Middle East. I understand the concern, but the difference is that back then we had dumb presidents

LA DODGERS just now:

“This morning, ICE agents came to Dodger Stadium and requested permission to access the parking lots. They were denied entry to the grounds by the organization. Tonight’s game will be played as scheduled.”

Right on, Dodgers!
More of this, please.

Fuerza responds to scenes where alleged ICE enforcement is reported. If officers are indeed with ICE, they hit record and spread the word. They also speak directly with those being detained.

They are part of a growing scrappy network of volunteers protecting neighbors from ICE. bit.ly/4lgke5N

Edelweisspiraten (Edelweiss Pirates) were young people who refused the Hitler Youth camps and instead got busy executing sabatoge campaigns to thwart the Third Reich.

They were anti-fascist pranksters whose tactics ratcheted up as the Regime’s oppression grew.

Devastating image. Numbers don't lie & the GOP doesn't want Americans to see these numbers bc their laughable defense is always that the wealth transfer will "trickle down" to the rest of us.

The oldest, most provable econ lie in the R playbook. It has *never* worked.
