We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

If we were still a democracy the GOP would not be proceeding with a budget that will hurt virtually every American except a handful of the richest and most powerful. But they don’t work for the voters. They work for their donors.

For nearly 60 days, no food, fuel, medicine or other items has entered the Gaza Strip, blocked by Israel.
Aid groups are running out of food to distribute. Markets are nearly bare.
Palestinian families are left struggling to feed their children.

The Agriculture Department has axed two programs that gave schools and food banks money to buy food from nearby farms and ranchers. Roughly $660 million that schools and child care facilities were counting on to purchase food has been canceled.
This will hurt both kids and small, local farmers.

Trump, Vance, and Musk speak to Polish and Ukrainian leaders the way Russian officials do, because Trump is a crime boss who works for Russia
Musk told the Polish FM, a long-standing conservative ally of the US, "be quiet small man".
What I find so fascinating about Trump, Vance and Musk's verbal abuse of Ukrainians & Polish officials etc, is: can you imagine them speaking like this to a Russian or Chinese official?
