As a rule thumb, always expect Trump to make the worst possible decision with the worst possible outcomes and you will never go wrong in your predictions.

And so the United States goes to war with Iran without so much as a by your leave to the American people.
No statement, other than on social media; no notice to Congress; no serious deliberation.
This is the stuff of autocrats. Disgraceful.

⚠️ Warning: The Trump administration is circulating footage from 2020 to make the situation in L.A. appear more chaotic than it is. This is an intentional effort to manufacture a larger crisis. Stay alert. Pay attention. The propaganda machine is in overdrive.

WATCH: Elephants at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park react to Monday's 5.2 magnitude earthquake that shook San Diego County. The elephants formed an "alert circle" meant to protect the young and the entire herd from any threats, according to the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance.

In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.

Remember: nearly every single one of these "cuts" by the White House is actually money that was budgeted by Congress for every university, organization, etc. This funding was part of ongoing operations and planning. The federal government is essentially breaking contracts with every "cut."

🚨BREAKING: It seems very clear that the Administration decided not to abide by the court's order. The question now is what will the judge do. Does he proceed with contempt or something short of that to defuse.
Upping the stakes is the fact that the AG and her senior staff signed this notice.

A small handful of plutocrats and right wing propagandists who can afford “nice things,” are doing everything in their power to create a future in which such nice things (like children who don’t die of curable diseases) will be available only to them.

I am so tired of stories like this one which report the outrage but MAKE NO EFFORT AT ALL to identify the person who ordered it. In particular is this anticipatory compliance or was there an order from a higher-up (If latter, go interview them please).

I find it baffling that Musk‘s eugenicist world view is almost completely missing from the coverage of his political actions. Why does he hate USAID & is willing to cause deaths? Because he only views certain people worthy of life and dignity. It’s not a mystery. It’s out there for all of us to see.
