Be kind to animals and each other. Speak up for those without a voice. Share what you have/what you know. Be a gift to others. Be a light in this world. Love.

[Cory Booker @CoryBooker]

There are good people all across our nation.

Despite a media ecosystem and social media algorithms that so often amplify hate, outrage, division, and cruelty, there are countless acts of kindness happening every single day.

Be the reason someone believes in the goodness of people.

Lift up the quiet acts of compassion, the daring deeds of generosity, and the humble heroism of ordinary people helping one another.

And above all, be kind.

Trump's Billion-Dollar Temper Tantrum Empties America's Arsenal — Then the Faux-Strongman Gets Told to Sit Down by His Own Generals

Donald Trump has once again proven that the only thing emptier than his strategic thinking is the U.S. munitions stockpile he just finished torching.

After nearly two weeks of consecutive nighttime strikes on Iran — burning through billions in precision weapons that take years and fortunes to replace — the self-proclaimed master dealmaker has been forced to hit the pause button. Not because of some brilliant diplomatic breakthrough, but because the cupboard is bare.

After Trump had spent the week publicly threatening exactly that kind of infrastructure assault, the kind that leaves civilians without electricity, water, or food and opens the door to war-crimes accusations, advisers had to walk him back from the ledge he cheerfully climbed onto.

This is not strategy. This is a man who treats a high-end military as a personal fireworks display, then acts surprised when the warehouse is empty. Precision munitions are not Amazon Prime packages. They are finite, expensive, and already strained by years of global commitments. Trump's impulsive escalation accelerated the depletion, then his own team had to apply the brakes before the United States found itself staring at Iran with a half-empty magazine and no coherent end state.

The pattern is familiar: loud threats, rapid expenditure, sudden hesitation, and zero accountability. America's adversaries watch a president who can neither finish what he starts nor calculate the cost of starting it. Allies watch a superpower whose commander-in-chief requires remedial briefings on inventory and basic proportionality. Taxpayers watch billions vanish into the night sky over Iran so Trump can look tough on television — only for the tough-guy act to stall when the generals point out the math.

Incompetence is far too timid a diagnosis. What we are witnessing is strategic illiteracy elevated to performance art. This is not leadership. This is an eighty-year-old, dementia-addled carnival barker waving the nuclear codes like a prop badge, turning the gravest instruments of national power into just another episode of his never-ending reality show.

TRUMP WILL HATE THIS

[Adam Kinzinger (Slava Ukraini) 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @AdamKinzinger]

Also, the cost of the munitions we have almost unlimited numbers of are in the tens of thousands of dollars, vs the million dollars per top line shot.

Usually we destroy air defense then use the cheap stuff. Trump isn’t doing this

This was actually @reesejgorman, a journalist for NOTUS.

I think he needs to discuss why he didn’t report this, and why he went along with “constituent.”

Looks sketchy

[Bill Madden @maddenifico]

Imagine the sheer, historic insanity of an American president handing nuclear capabilities to the very kingdom that produced 15 of the 19 September 11 hijackers and the mastermind himself, Osama bin Laden.

That is the surreal reality we are watching unfold. Mohammed bin Salman — the bone-saw butcher of Jamal Khashoggi — has clearly sized up the current occupant of the White House and concluded, correctly, that for the first time in modern history Saudi Arabia is dealing with an American leader whose personal enrichment outweighs every strategic, moral, and national-security consideration.

The result has been a pure bonanza for Riyadh: access, protection, technology, and leverage that no previous president would have dreamed of granting.

What used to be a carefully managed, eyes-wide-open relationship with a problematic ally has been reduced to a transactional free-for-all in which American blood, American graves, and American principles are just more chips on the table.

Today we opened Colorado’s newest medical school!

A Despicable Betrayal of the Dead

Four American soldiers died for this country last weekend. Their bodies were flown home. Their families stood on the tarmac at Dover and watched the flag-draped cases come off the plane. And then the fascist authoritarian Trump regime wiped their names off the official list of the war dead like they were a clerical inconvenience.

1st Lt. Tyler James Feehan.
Sgt. Angel S. Rampersad.
Pvt. Isabella Gonzales.
Sgt. Michael Emmanuel Swinton.

One day the Pentagon's public casualty count said 18 Americans had been killed in the Iran war. The next day it said 14. The four most recent deaths — three in a missile attack in Jordan, one in Iraq — were simply deleted. Military sources told The New York Times the order came because the deaths happened after Trump's April "cease-fire." The Pentagon's official line was the pathetic excuse of "temporary data disruptions."

This is not a mistake. This is a calculated insult. These men and women put on the uniform, followed orders, and paid with their lives. The government they served responded by erasing them from the public record the moment their deaths became politically inconvenient. That is not leadership. That is cowardice dressed up as administration.

There is no honorable way to explain this. You do not get to decide that a soldier's death "doesn't count" because it happened after a speech. You do not get to scrub their names while their remains are still being received with ceremony. You do not get to treat the ultimate sacrifice as a data point that can be adjusted for better optics.

This is the purest form of disrespect: not an open sneer, but a quiet bureaucratic deletion that pretends the dead never existed on the official ledger. Every family who has lost a child in this war just received the same message — your grief is real, but Trump's version of the truth is more important.

That is not how a serious country treats its dead. It is how an authoritarian regime treats them when it has something to hide.
