RFK Jr: "A Democratic senator claimed it's mathematically impossible to have a drug drop by 600%. I said, 'Well, if the drug was $100 and it raises to $600, that would be a 600% rise. If it drops from $600 to $100, that's a 600% savings.'"
Trump: "Right"
Pre-war: Strait of Hormuz open
W/war: Strait of Hormuz closed to US/allied vessels
During ceasefire: US naval blockade of the Strait
During blockade: US/allied ships still won’t go through due to pre-existing Iranian closure further up the Strait
The math doesn’t add up.
@sentdefender On 5/1/2003, 6 wks after the invasion of Iraq, Pres. Bush made his "Mission Accomplished" speech on the deck of the USS Abraham Lincoln, announcing the end of "major combat operations".
The war went on for ~9 years. US casualties: 4,500.
The Lincoln is now in the Arabian Sea.
Lindsey Graham on Trump in 2016:
“He's a kook. I think he's crazy. I think he's unfit for office...He's not a conservative Republican. He's an opportunist.”
Former ICE agent: I am duty bound to report the legally required training program at the ICE Academy as deficient, defective, and broken. On my first day training new cadets, I received secretive orders to teach them to violate the Constitution by entering homes without a judicial warrant. I watched ICE cut 240 hours of vital classes that teach our legal system, firearms training, the use of force, lawful arrests, proper detention, and the limits of officers' authority.
Trump: I'm a big crypto person. I'm the one that probably helped crypto more than anybody

For much of the 20th century, Hollywood sidelined or restricted dark-skinned actresses, frequently using white actresses in blackface or "brownface" to portray people of color. So, spare me your complaints about one of the greatest actresses of our time playing Helen of Troy.
One of my former research assistants was killed by ICE in Minneapolis today😢
Alex was the kindest, sweetest human and a ICU nurse with a bright future ahead of him
May his soul rest in peace and this senseless carnage stop💔
Dear @USAttyEssayli: This new video of Minneapolis killing contradicts your post that victim approached with a gun. I’m giving you the benefit of the doubt and assuming you didn’t see the video. You must correct your post. If you don’t, then you’re a liar.
