Buttigieg: That is almost word for word what they told us when we were sold the war in Iraq. They said if we don't go in and invade Iraq. They said if we donāt fight them there, weāll end up fighting them here. And that war in Iraq made America weaker. This war in Iran makes America weaker. Six months ago you didn't have to get up in the morning and worry about the strait of hormuz.
Trump sent a 19-year-old American girl to die for israel in the Middle East.
Meanwhile his 20 year old son is making tens of millions from insider trading.
Where is the revolution?
The intensity of this wildfire season is calling attention to the fact that the Trump administration closed all nine regional offices of the U.S. Forest Service, and shut down 57 of its 77 research facilities.
BREAKING: Leaked Andrew Tate texts are looking VERY bad for the Trump adminā¦
Texts from Andrew Tate reveal that a Trump admin official directly intervened on the Tate brothers behalf in early 2025 to stall the sex trafficking investigation.
āI had word from The Trump admin that theyre on top of things,ā wrote Andrew Tate via text.
Tateās former lawyer, Paul Ingrassia, is now a Trump admin official, and is the one who requested the Tate brothers devices be returned to them.
You may remember Paul Ingrassia from his leaked texts last year in which he said he āhas a Nazi streakā and uses old slurs.
āØJD Vance still follows the Tate brothers on Twitter. Barron is friends him them. All of this happened after Andrew admitted to being a pimp on camera.
This is the Republican Party now. Iām a young dude who loves America, and hates seeing it hijacked by these hateful , abusive, degenerates.
I donāt know how you argue that Saudi Arabia can have a nuclear program, but Iran canāt. The majority of the 9/11 hijackers were from Saudi Arabia. This is insane to me.
Princeton taught Hegseth to talk slick, the bottle taught him belligerence, his ChristoFascist pastor gave him a bastardized religiosity. Fox News gave him a lack of consequence & humility. Iran will teach him he is incompetent. U.S.A. should teach him he is not above the law.
@DOWResponse@SecWar Why should we believe this cheating, woman abusing drunk about anything? He screams of incompetence when we are losing a war against Iran and soldiers are dying.
Hold on Venezuela was a war but Iran is just a conflict? This math ain't mathing.
*my sincere apologies to the people and families suffering from losses and injuries. Your sacrifice does matter.
Trump offers sales pitch for his war:
"Afghanistan War: 20 years, 2,000 DEAD.
Iraq War: 9 years, 4,600 DEAD.
Vietnam War: 19 years and 5 months, 58,220 DEAD.
Korean War: 3 years and 1 month, 36,574 DEAD.
Venezuela War: 1 day, 0 DEAD.
Iran Military Conflict: 4 months, 18 DEAD."
Trump claimed his tariffs would bring about a golden age of American manufacturing.
Yet since his re-election, we've lost 75,000 manufacturing jobs. Over the same period, Biden had created 625,000.
Hi @tedcruz, if you actually watch the clip rather than just blindly amplifying rightwing misinformation and clickbait, youāll see @AOC is referring to the Senate *filibuster* whose modern usage is indeed a product of the Jim Crow era. You should learn some basic history.
To our American friends, this is a map of forests in North America.
347 million hectares of wilderness in highly remote areas cannot be contained by āproper forest managementā.
These are enormous, mostly uninhabited areas that are prone to lightning strikes causing wildfires.
Climate change.
Canadaās boreal forest is far north.
Most parts of it only reach 64F (18C) averages in the heat of the summer.
Its density and climate also means it gets very little evaporation compared to its rainfall, and is subject to frost 9 months of the year, and heavy fog the rest of the time.
This kept this biome very humid, kept soil damp, and left most of the low level foliage coated in dew all day long.
Some parts of the forest even had thick levels of permafrost beneath the topsoil that on rare hot days would seep water back into the ecosystem.
Just as many wildfires started by lightning strike in previous decades as now.
The difference is they struggled to catch and spread in this damp environment.
Now extreme dry weather, record breaking heat, northern thaw, erode that protective moisture barrier, leaving the boreal forest vulnerable especially in the more southern parts.
Boreal forests previously went through this process naturally when an over density caused a drier environment youād get high-intensity crown fires that were cyclical. Every 50-200 years depending on region.
Now we get them annually.
Boreal forest fires are much more severe than others too. The long history of cyclical burns means the soil contains charcoal, the thick multi-layer foliage adds fodder and causes the fire to spread quickly, and pine, spruce, and aspens are all some of the trees with both the most density and the best for wood burning.
It results in towering forest fires of immense heat and rapid spread.
These forests are denser than anything else in North America or Europe, and the current fire in Ontario alone, is the same square mileage as the entire state of Delaware.
From the time it ignited, to covering that size, took less than 20 hours.
While some in the US still think climate change is a hoax, we are all going to deal with the consequences of it, as weāve turned the largest forest in the world into a tinder box, and fires in less than 0.01% of it drowns the entire continent in smoke.
