Same guys who are going to put screws in iPhones for Nutlick are going to squeeze the oil out of soybeans and corn. But it won’t be Trumps or Nutlicks kids or grandkids doing that work.

Find a doctor who will think about what he/she prescribes. There are cheaper alternatives to Eliquis.

Biden brought home multiples of 20 hostages but knew he couldn’t end the war. Trump is blowing smoke on everything else, except his desire to ethnically cleanse Gaza so Kushner and Witkoff can build condos. The war isn’t close to over and Hamas isn’t close to disarming or giving up control of Gaza.

The regime gets more deranged every day. A rightwing conspiracy theorist assassinated a Democratic lawmaker - which the attorney general presents as an example of leftwing political violence in order to justify an authoritarian crackdown on the opposition…

We’re in incredibly dangerous territory.

Bondi: "We've been living through a horrific cycle of political violence in this country ... night after night antifa wrecks havoc on the streets of our cities. In Minnesota, a gunman murdered a state lawmaker and her husband."

bsky.app/profile/sluc... This seems dispositive to me, & also just as a matter of fundamental separation of powers concerns, a federal regulation that *did* allow POTUS to fund the military for *years* against Congress’ wishes can’t be legit. Must be unconstitutional for the Constitution to survive

Highlights in **’s

transferred: Provided, That such authority to transfer may not be used unless for higher priority items, based on unforeseen military requirements, than those for which originally appropriated *and in no case where the item for which funds are requested has been denied by the Congress:*
Provided further,
That the
Secretary of Defense shall notify the Congress promptly of all transfers made pursuant to this authority or any other authority

She “saved” nothing. She got what she was entitled to. Stop using the right wing media’s and oligarchs’ framing.

Israel will remove barriers so West Bank Palestinians can come in and bomb pizzerias and supermarkets again.

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

Body-camera video appears to contradict the government’s claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed.
