The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, has apparently closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States, for the seventh time, won the war that wasn’t a war, so now the United States has to open the Strait of Hormuz that was already open before the not-war began.
The not-war began because Iran had uranium that was totally, completely, beautifully obliterated, so they can’t build the nuclear bomb they weren’t building, which is why the United States had to start the not-war it definitely didn’t start.
Now the United States, which has nuclear weapons, is threatening to use nuclear weapons to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, because nuclear weapons are far too dangerous for countries with nuclear weapons to allow other countries to have.
If the United States saw the United States doing what the United States does in other countries, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.
On Thursday, I voted for the Ukraine Support Act, one of only 18 Republicans who sided with Democrats in the House to advance aid for Ukraine and strengthen sanctions on Russia. The bill passed the House by a vote of 226-195 and provides critical support for Ukraine's recovery and defense while increasing pressure on Russia's financial and energy sectors. Supporting our allies and standing up to authoritarian aggression remains an important American interest.
@RepPeteStauber yes, I remember the whole conversation about the suit and disrespect. But apparently you’re OK with this. I am appalled, mortified, embarrassed, but you aren’t saying anything. Crickets. Just crickets. Time to vote you out.
Ossoff: Last September, the President of Kazakhstan calls Donald Trump and says he wants to grant tungsten mining rights to an American company. And the very next month, Eric and Don Jr. get a stake in the American company pursuing the mining deal.
Six days later, six days after Prince Eric and Prince Don get their stake, Kazakhstan announces this company will get, “The largest known undeveloped tungsten resource in the world.” A few more weeks go by, and then the U.S. government, run by their father, sets aside 1.6 billion of your tax dollars to fund and finance their mining project. In Kazakhstan.
All this while you pay more for gas, for groceries, for health care, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.
I see your profile picture. That’s Johnny Cash. My hero too. Arrested seven times. Smuggled 668 amphetamines across the Mexican border in 1965. Took every drug there was and drank like I did. Cheated on his first wife. Slept with more woman than I ever did. Hit bottom in a cave in Tennessee in 1968 trying to crawl off and die. And then he got up. He got clean. He spent the rest of his life singing for prisoners and addicts and the people the country threw away because he knew he was one of them.
That was the whole point of the Man in Black. He wore it for the poor and the beaten down. He wore it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime. He wore it for the ones who never heard a word of Jesus. He wore it for the addicted and the dying. He wore it as a standing witness that no one is past saving.
You picked his picture. You did not pick his message. Try listening to the words.
@RepPeteStauber Well, they are not issuing pardons for people who have ripped off Minnesotans. Like this guy didi to the folks of Tennessee. Or is it OK because Trump likes him? Walz and Ellison need to cozy up to Trump. Clearly, they don’t understand the game the Republicans play. But you do.
Trump issued a full, unconditional pardon to former Tennessee House Speaker Glen Casada and his former chief of staff, Cade Cothren. They were convicted of fraud, bribery, theft, conspiracy, and sentenced to federal prison. https://t.co/xLad3PTCBx
@RepPeteStauber Fraud??? Wait, you and Trump are against fraud? Or is it only when it’s your friends? Or is Trump going to pardon the folks who perpetrated the Friday in Minnesota? Like this person.

Trump's Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins: "If we have a big screwworm infestation—which we will not, we're on top of it..."
The screwworm has returned to the US after 60 years after Trump and DOGE eliminated a program to contain the flesh-eating parasite.
Ryan Fournier, 30 yr old co-founder of ‘Students for Trump’ was arrested for domestic violence. After being drunk & passed out, he punched his girlfriend 2-3 times with a closed fist when awakened and made threats including “I will kill everyone here.” https://t.co/eBUH1dRSn3
@Ilhan How dare you talk about stopping the war but you’re OK with Ukrainians being murdered daily!! shameful vote against helping Ukraine. Of all things. Shameful vote. You need to be voted out.
@GrageDustin@RepPeteStauber But, oh, her emails! Somali fraud! Tampon Tim!
But crickets when it comes to Trump and his corruption.
Not one word from either one of you about the criminal activity, with Trump violating the Emoluments clause, selling favors/pardons DAILY!
This is so insanely corrupt, I can’t even believe it.
More than half the donors to Trump’s $400 million White House ballroom just won over $50 billion in new federal contracts in six months.
And here’s the part that should make your blood boil.
Sixteen of these 27 donors were facing federal enforcement actions, antitrust reviews, labor cases, securities charges. Many of those cases have been quietly dropped or scaled back since Trump took office. You write a check, your legal problems disappear. That’s not a coincidence.
The White House won’t even release the full donor list. They’re hiding it on purpose, because daylight is the one thing pay-to-play can’t survive. A federal judge already ruled ballroom construction has to stop until Congress authorizes it.
Government is supposed to serve the people, not auction itself off to the highest bidder. When access goes to whoever pays the most, working families always end up paying the price.
We either end the corruption, or the corruption will end us.

Okay enough about Graham Platner…what I really want to know is how the president seemed to be sleep in the middle of the day on camera today from the Oval Office and no one asked him about it?
