Schiff: "The president -- 'I'm going out to play golf.' One thing that is so shocking to me is that they're appealing to the Supreme Court for the right to cut off food from people. Who does that? Who works so hard to cut food from people who need it right now? The cruelty is part of the policy."

The Napkin and the Noose
How Laffer’s curve, Piketty’s math, and Trump’s Mar-a-Lago feasts turned America into a banquet for billionaires and a breadline for everyone else.

I would like to know how we can identify the specific persons at CNN who researched, wrote, edited, and approved this and hang it around their necks for the rest of their professional lives.
Last year, CNN ran a “fact check” of Kamala HQ that claimed we were lying for saying Trump’s plan is Project 2025.
Now Trump is outright admitting it’s his plan.
Legacy media failed the country.

I spent some time with @billmckibben.bsky.social talking about solar energy and walked away with a feeling that I almost had forgotten about: hope.

I am pretty sickened by the media coverage from all networks on Charlie Kirk. Melissa Hortman and her husband and dog were assassinated in June. No where the coverage like this. It’s the Republican CEO’s of these networks. I know that it’s just so disappointing and disgusting.

The real issue isn’t left vs right.
It’s not white vs black.
It’s not citizen vs immigrant.
It’s not gay vs straight.
The real issue is that a lot of powerful people have a vested interest — and a lot of money invested — in dividing us, and it’s working.

These are all people who wanted to kill their enemies before Charlie Kirk was shot, are more vocal about it now, and will keep lusting for it long after Charlie Kirk has been buried. Today’s biggest event could have been a dog farting and they would have reacted by wanting you dead.

Charlie Kirk’s assassination was horrific.
That doesn’t change the fact that the vast majority of gun (and political) violence has been perpetuated by right wingers.
You don’t get to change the narrative at will.

By the way, the US striking Iran’s nuclear facilities and infrastructure gives Russia the green light to strike Ukraine’s nuclear facilities & infrastructure. This is another reason it’s forbidden under international law. Trump is escalating danger everywhere.

Doug Collins says VA workers who don’t love vets should “find another job.” Funny, I don’t recall veterans asking for a 15% staff cut, closed crisis lines, or to be rerouted to private care. We asked for care, not corporate models. Don’t dress austerity in patriotism.

🚨 So, Trump, the most incompetent insane president in history, just bombed Iran without Congressional approval.
