Bio soon. Had to bolt from X. This feels better already and I found enough of my favourites to maintain my outrageous screen time.

What would I ask? "What was your analysis of the Houthi Bombing in October? What counsel would you give POTUS regarding next actions?"
"What should the US strategy be in Syria ?" " How would you counter Chinese aggression on the south China Sea ?"
"How would you assure civilian oversight of DOD"

1. This is what it’s really about. Farage, Truss and co have no convictions of their own. They are mere channels for the demands of capital. Here they are, supporting a climate science-denying lobby group funded by oil and oligarchs. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I'm sorry but the Dems are ridiculously bad at their Hegspeth questions. IMO, if you want to prove someone is incompetent, you ask them the hardest strategic questions they will have to know to succeed at the job

If you want to understand why healthcare pricing is horrific, the first thing to know is that our system puts 100% of the credit risk for deductibles, copays and co-insurance on hospitals and doctors. That's insane.

Rep. Mark Alford: "It's gonna mean cuts to the 24 percent of the discretionary spending that we have. And it's also going to mean looking long term at the front end of some programs like Social Security and Medicare ... we can move the retirement age back a little bit."

I don't care that Biden pardoned his son to protect him.
I care that he's done literally nothing else with the awesome power of the presidency to pardon thousands in prison, to cancel student debt in full & force Trump to revive it, & to commute the death penalty www.qasimrashid.com/p/the-real-i...

The Real Issue with Biden's Pardon Is One Corporate Media Won't Address
Corporate Media has turned Biden's pardon into a circus, while wholly ignoring where they should actually hold him accountable—and we are all worse off for it

I don't have much expertise to offer on Syria not already written, so I'll just affirm that I hope the people of Syria are protected, their humanity held sacred, the war criminals they've suffered through held accountable, and their future based on meaningful self-determination and justice. ❤️✊🏽

Since 2012, Putin's puppet Assad was there to make sure 3 pipelines never got finished, projects that would have brought cheap Saudi and Qatari gas into the European market.
All the brutality Russians inflicted on the people of Syria was to ensure Russian EU gas monopoly

Can you imagine if there had been as much interest in incarcerating Donald Trump as there is (rightfully) in apprehending the Manhattan assassin?

Some days it feels like 2025 is going to be a race to see which collapses first: the relationship between Donald Trump and Elon Musk or the American economy.
All Americans of good faith are praying it’s the former, which I guess means about half of us.

I honestly can’t believe we’re even still talking about Biden pardoning Hunter when Trump is planning to demolish public education, hand Ukraine to Putin, screw the health of the literal planet we live on, deploy troops on US soil, and … oh yeah … pardon all the J6 domestic terrorists.

I’d like to see more major-media reports on how the involvement of Elon Musk with a) the Presidential Transition, b) the House Republican Conference, c) the Senate Republican Conference, and d) lobbyists is already unlike anything America has ever seen with a non-government adviser. 100% horrifying.
