Politico: Iran reportedly moves to shut Strait of Hormuz after US attacks. The channel, which separates Iran and Oman, is a vital gateway for petroleum shipments from Persian Gulf countries.

This should bring gas prices down.

Trump’s 79th birthday was met with one of the largest mass protests in U.S. history. At one rally, a 102-year-old Holocaust survivor warned: “Trump is trying to imitate Hitler."

The United States never has enough money to keep people alive at home but always has enough money to kill people overseas.

Trump has been dying to bomb something because it makes him feel powerful. His first term there were adults in the room to talk him out of it, now only sycophants. He doesn't want to avoid wars, he wants to "win" them, and then have something to brag about.
Trump said you can measure a presidency by the wars you avoid, and for once he was right. Saturday's Iran bombing was the exclamation point on his abject failure

Trump is copying dictators from Mussolini to Putin in seeking glory through pointless war. My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/dona...
A mad king’s pointless war is where Donald Trump was always heading
There is no legal or moral justification for Donald Trump's bomb strike on Iran, just the ego of an increasingly delusional president.

The travel ban has been lifted for the Tate brothers. They’re leaving Romania and headed to Florida thanks to Donald Trump.

They were arrested in 2022 and charged with human trafficking, sexual intercourse with a minor, money laundering and starting an organized crime group.

Beyond DISGUSTING.

Sadism isn't swagger. It isn't American. It isn't honorable. And contrary to what a whole lot of fatherless boys believe, it sure AF isn't manly.
It's sadism.

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame.

The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight.

It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

DOGE recommended firing workers at:

-FDA, which oversees Neuralink

-FAA, which oversees SpaceX

-USAID, which probed Starlink

-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.

"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

When I was growing up, there were ashtrays everywhere. Every house, every business, the doctor's office, not outside, inside on every table. A battered metal bowl, coated in toxic resin, overflowing with spit stained damp butts and foul ash, stinking of cancer.

That's what RFK Jr reminds me of.

"Personally I prefer Donald Trump to Joe Biden," says Cardinal Gerhard Mueller. "Better a good Protestant than a bad Catholic."

From the former head of the Vatican's Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (the Inquisition) that is ... new.

Ideology indeed trumps (ahem) faith.
cardinale Muller: «Trump aiuterà la Chiesa perché rappresenta i valori del diritto naturale: inviolabilità della vita, importanza del matrimonio, libertà religiosa».
Questo prelato era prefetto del Dicastero per la Dottrina della Fede (2012-2017). Non ha idea di quello che sta succedendo qui.

I'm starting to understand why Trump likes this guy.
SCOOP: RFK Jr. secretly recorded his second wife during their bitter divorce fight and in one conversation acknowledged he was "polygamous" and blamed her for that. One recording might have violated state law—in a messy saga that ended with her suicide.

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last.

Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.
