This is despicable, along with a lack of respect for, not only the military, but to these service members and their grieving families 😡

On Thursday, the U.S. Department of War lowered the total number of American servicemembers officially killed during the Iran War from 18 to 14, removing the four servicemembers killed during the most recent round of hostilities in the Middle East; 1st Lt. Tyler James Feehan, 25, Sgt. Angel S. Rampersad, 28, and Pvt. Isabella Gonzales, 19, who were killed last week by an Iranian ballistic missile attack in Jordan, and Sgt. Michael Emmanuel Swinton, 30, who died as a result of a controlled demolition of an Iranian one-way attack drone in Iraq. Three military officials told The New York Times that one reason behind the change was that their deaths occurred after President Trump declared a ceasefire with Iran in April.

Donald Trump is breaking all of his promises, and he thinks you're too stupid to notice.

The United Nations has just voted 153-1 on a resolution ensuring the safety and security of humanitarian workers and UN personnel across the globe.

The only country voting against? The United States 🇺🇸.

@allenanalysis Another shameful day for the Senate, giving Trump more power to wage wars while Americans struggle with inflation, poverty and broken healthcare. Priorities completely upside down.

[Wandering @Wander626]

@MeidasTouch Is there a more perfect metaphor for Trump’s presidency than literally tearing down the White House?

Just remember, he’s not a King, he just wants to build a $250 million dollar gilded ballroom while Americans struggle to make ends meet

BREAKING: Donald Trump stomps his boot on the world's suffering populations as his administration prepares to incinerate a staggering $9.7 million worth of contraceptives funded by USAID — even though they would prevent disease and save lives.

This is just meaningless cruelty...

"This decision to destroy ready-to-use commodities is appalling and extremely wasteful,” said Marie-Evelyne Petrus-Barry, Africa regional director of the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF).

“These life-saving medical supplies were destined to countries where access to reproductive care is already limited, and in some cases, part of a broader humanitarian response, such as in the [Congo]," she added.

The stockpile of birth control pills, shots, implants, and IUDs were stored in a Belgian warehouse and the American government is now wasting over $160,000 to burn the entire lot at a medical waste disposal facility in France.

The IPPF has estimated that 77% of the supplies are earmarked for Congo, Kenya, Mali, Tanzania, and Zambia. They stated that the supples are being "needlessly and egregiously” destroyed and much of the stockpile will not expire until 2027, with some of it lasting until 2029.

Tanzania alone will lose 28% of its annual need for injectable contraceptives and implants.

The Reproductive Health Supplies Coalition estimates that the destruction will result in 362,000 unintended pregnancies, 161,000 unplanned births, and an unknown number of unsafe abortion procedures.

The MAGA State Department told The Hill that a "preliminary decision" has been made to destroy the "abortifacient" products — a blatant effort to pander to radical anti-abortion Evangelicals. They claimed that no HIV medicine or condoms would be incinerated, but given this administration's profound penchant for lying the statement should be doubted.

In fact, The New York Times has reported that none of the supplies that were registered for storage in the warehouse fit the description provided by the Trump administration. Under U.S. law USAID is unable to purchase abortion-inducing products.

This is MAGA in a nutshell. Pointless suffering and cruelty engineered to please the absolute worst segments of the American electorate. These so-called "Christians" are an absolute disgrace.

Please retweet and ❤️ to demand that the contraceptives be saved!

This can’t be repeated enough:

Masked soldiers are disappearing people off our city streets and it’s not some post-apocalyptic, dystopian novel.

It’s actual America, 2025.

Trump on Joe Biden, who recently announced a cancer diagnosis: "If you feel sorry for him, don't feel so sorry, because he's vicious ... I really don't feel sorry for him."

[Ann Walker @coachw65]

Hmmmm... he campaigned on helping working people, but now that he’s in charge, many of his actions lead to payoffs to the rich guys who invested in his campaign. #TrumpisaNationalDisgrace
