Trump seems to be having an amazing run of luck in the stock market over the past several months.

There aren’t adequate words to properly express the depth and scale of trump’s corruption, it’s completely on a scale of its own with no historical equivalent to point to.

The war in Iran has already cost $22.8 billion.

For $22.8 billion, we could:

• Provide Medicaid to 6.8 million kids
• Build 2.6 million public housing units
• Fund Head Start for 1.3 million
• Hire 240,000 teachers
• Cancel $20,000 in student debt for 1 million borrowers

💢 “Black rain” and “nuclear winter” effect reported in Tehran after Israeli strikes on oil facilities

▪️ Israeli strikes on oil depots around Tehran have released massive quantities of toxic hydrocarbons, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen oxides. Mixed with rainwater, these chemicals are causing highly acidic precipitation that can cause skin burns and severe lung damage upon contact, according to Iranian authorities.

▪️ Dense plumes of black smoke from the Shahran and other refineries have blotted out the sun, plunging parts of the city into darkness and creating a "nuclear winter" effect, NYT reported. Authorities warned that these noxious fumes cause acute respiratory distress and eye irritation.

▪️ Oil-saturated rainwater has blanketed the city, leaving rooftops, balconies, and streets covered in a thick, murky black liquid and oily soot. This contamination poses a long-term risk of heavy metals like nickel and vanadium leaching into the soil and local water systems.

▪️ Environmental groups warn the pollution threatens migratory birds crossing the Persian Gulf. The "black rain" and smoke plumes can cause internal organ damage and destroy the insulating properties of bird feathers, leading to hypothermia and death.

The Iranian Red Crescent Society warned of the dangers of the rain, advising residents to protect themselves and to cover exposed food from oily soot particles. Officials said the rain is highly corrosive and could potentially damage civilian structures.

Visa is facing a Biden DOJ lawsuit alleging illegal monopolization of debit card transactions, where it exploits a 60% market share to extract billions in excess revenue from merchants and consumers.

Enter “Trump Accounts.”

anything less than abolishing ice is a cowardly capitulation to fascism

It appears that they took holstered firearm from the victim’s waist *BEFORE* another CBP officer started shooting him.

The video of this incident, apparently caught here

Very much does not suggest that an ICE agent was in danger at all. The car looks to be trying to flee the scene. One agent is grabbing at the door, the other is nearby and shoots into the car

Man spends 44 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit. Finally gets exonerated. ICE immediately arrests him and is trying to deport him back to India, where he hasn't lived since he was 9 months old.

why are we just letting this happen

[Aaron Reichlin-Melnick @ReichlinMelnick]

Those doors they’re smashing down in that video were in an apartment building where they dragged US citizens out of their homes and zip-tied small children together for hours while they broke down every door and rummaged through every apartment, including the citizens’ places.

I've been reporting in East Africa on the impact of President Trump's USAID cuts, and I find that not only are children dying in large numbers but the pace is accelerating as stockpiles run out and people grow weaker. I also obtained an internal Trump administration memo stating that the cost of shutting down USAID is $6.4 billion over two years. That sum could save more than 1 million children's lives; instead, it is being spent to to shut down programs that save lives. Help spread the word. https://t.co/VN9XZIU0b3
