2. Steal oil
3. Justify emergency powers
4. Justify use of the AEA for deportation/internment
5. Help the drug lord he just pardoned

I’m not watching the speech tonight.
I don’t want to hear that child rapist lie about the economy-we know the truth.
I don’t want to hear him as he justifies dragging us into war, killing innocent people.
I don’t want to hear him defend ICE.
He stole our healthcare.
I do not want to hear him.

"Under any president, of any political party, these series of shifting narratives would scream coverup, law-breaking, and corruption. While I can’t tell you for sure who is guilty of what, I can tell you there’s no way they’ll be able to run away from it now."
The boat-strike lies are piling up. We're at 25, and counting.
The Trump administration's story about the boat strikes keeps shifting dramatically, exposing the seriousness of the coverup underway.

Taylor: "I would say to those prosecutors at the DOJ, you guys need to stop. You need to take a break. Because every time you try to bring one of these revenge prosecutions back and it's not accepted, you are creating a paper trail that you might be doing this for illegitimate purposes."

Rob Reiner: I'm going to make a coming of age drama, a fantasy adventure story, a romantic comedy, a psychological horror and then a courtroom drama.

Us: Across your entire career?

Reiner: In a 6 year period.

Us: That sounds-

Reiner: -Each one will be arguably the best movie in that genre.

Just want to share with my American friends how the Australians respond to a shooting tragedy. Action, rather than thoughts and prayers.

Some of the best movies ever made were by Rob Reiner. They made us laugh and think: The Princess Bride, When Harry Met Sally, A Few Good Men. And he was a force on screen as well in All in the Family and so many films.

What a tragic loss. Words fail with news like this.

@maddow.bsky.social this is where we've arrived: the U.S. is a Contested Authoritarian White Anti-Christian Nationalism regime. Our society is xenophobic, isolationist, and racist with an economy and media commanded by the regime. Trust, decency, and morality supplanted by loyalty to the dictator.

Watch this. Then remember that the president doesn’t care. He cares that his old ass gets richer in the hand full of years he may have left.

And his sick rich friends. The most corrupt evil man to ever serve as president is ignoring real evil
💔 A European Parliament interpreter could not hold back tears during the speech of 11-year-old Roman Oleksiv from Lviv.

The boy survived a missile strike on Vinnytsia on July 14, 2022, which killed his mother - it was the last time he saw her alive.

Immigrants ‘plucked out of line’ at citizenship ceremony at Faneuil Hall “the cradle of liberty”.

If you ever claimed you want immigrants to do it the right way, this should outrage you. On the other hand, If you think this was okay, you need to come to terms with your white nationalist views.

In a post on X tonight, the State Department says it “renamed the former Institute of Peace to reflect the greatest dealmaker in our nation's history.”

Senator Kelly is correct.

Plus a Public Service Announcement:

KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1.

The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal:
"orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

In case you’re wondering why Pete Hegseth is freaking out about a congressional video reminding the military not to participate in illegal orders:
To put a finer point on this whole thing: "Two people with direct knowledge of the operation" — presumably uniformed military leaders — are accusing the U.S. Secretary of Defense of personally ordering specific war crimes. That's a historic accusation.
Textbook war crime/extrajudicial killing

"Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck. The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack ... ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions."

“Trump says”. I’m so fucking tired of Trump says. He’s a criminal, a pedophile and a bloviating liar who should be locked away and expunged from the annals of American history.

What do these corporations have in common?

Netflix
Ford
Tesla
T-Mobile
Duke Energy
DISH Network
Metlife
Dominion Energy
United States Steel

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

This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

If inflation comes up at the dinner table, don’t forget to draw attention to a deeper structural driver of high prices: corporate power.

Much of the food industry is dominated by a few corporate giants with the power to keep prices high because they face little competition.

Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed.

Getting big money out of politics.

Strengthening unions and fighting for higher wages.

Medicare for all, paid family leave, universal childcare...

This is the progressive populist agenda we need in America.
