I DO NOT like it when capitalists are like “but under communism people will have to do jobs they don’t want to do” as if all the people currently working 80 hours a week at three different fast food restaurants are doing it for the love of the game.

I can’t wrap my head around an economy where nursing homes cost enough to bankrupt families, yet the aides caring for our grandparents still rely on food banks. Or where daycare can consume an entire parent’s paycheck, while the people providing that care still can’t earn a living wage and need a second job. Something about that math just doesn’t add up.

@krassenstein I would see it more as Trump not getting what he wanted rather than us losing. Feel that the military did what they were told. Their actions were exemplary.
Trump failed them by starting a war with no objectives or exit strategy. So they were basically told to just drop bombs.

the age of 65, it’s all about getting. From 65 on, it’s about casting away. There are exceptions that prove the rule. Donald Trump is one. He really thinks he’s going to take it with him.

NEWS: Brazil has BLOCKED a U.S. delegation from entering the country after concluding the officials planned to question the integrity of Brazil's electronic voting system ahead of October's presidential election.

Brazilian authorities denied visas to two senior State Department officials after learning they intended to meet with election authorities and discuss alleged "concerns" about the country's voting system, claims Brazilian officials say are not backed by evidence.

The planned trip also reportedly included a meeting with Flávio Bolsonaro, the son of jailed former President Jair Bolsonaro, who has echoed debunked claims about election fraud while challenging President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.

The mainstream media just sat there last night while Trump lied about past elections and ended his speech by pulling out a Trump 2028 hat.

They didn't boo him.
They didn't rebuke him.
They didn't walk out.
They sat there and ate their dinner.

Integrity never entered the room.

Federal officials acknowledged in court filings that they froze billions of dollars in energy funding for states based solely on whether those states supported Donald Trump in the 2024 election.

If that’s an accurate description of what happened, it raises a fundamental question: Should taxpayer-funded federal programs be distributed based on political loyalty, or should every state be treated equally regardless of how its residents voted?

This dinner is a disgrace. Trump’s rambling, unhinged speech is full of hate and spite. Just spewing nastiness at his usual targets. Let’s not sanitize how truly ugly it was. This would be a great moment for members of the press to get up and walk out.

[MoveOn @MoveOn]

Funding Trump's war mongering and helping him suppress millions of voters is a red line. Period. https://t.co/dh66beOejn

2018, 2020: “Caravans are invading our southern border!”

2024: “Haitians are eating the dogs. They’re eating the cats!”

2026: “The communists want to blow up Mount Rushmore.”

Every Trump election cycle has a new boogie man to keep the MAGA stupids very very afraid.

Fuck this…

The Pentagon has removed four U.S. service members who were killed in Jordan from its official casualty list, saying their deaths occurred after President Trump declared a cease-fire in April.

MAGA: We can’t have a Muslim mayor because of 9/11.

Also MAGA: We’re totally fine with Trump signing a deal that lets the nation that funded 9/11 enrich uranium.

[Lynn Henning @Lynn_Henning]

Also delivered 15 of the 19 hijackers on 9/11. Also carved-up a Washington Post columnist who MBS didn't like. But, neither did the WH care for him, so, between the murder and the $2 billion deposit to Kushner, the Saudis will get their bomb. And, then we hear: "Iran must never be allowed to have a nuclear bomb." Correct: Which is what the JCPOA was guarding against, with an open Strait of Hormuz. And, correct: Neither Saudi Arabia, nor Iran, should have a nuclear warhead. But, ah, some countries have found favor with this WH.
