Speaking to Lawrence O'Donnell, former USAID assistant administrator Dr. Atul Gawande just called bullshit on Elon Musk's claim that he is responsible for ZERO deaths due to DOGE gutting USAID. Gawande claimed the number of deaths Musk is responsible for is likely hundreds of thousands, mostly children.

[Livin the dream @MarkWes36656231]

@Acyn Sure he did. Which is why inflation is now higher than when Biden left. Gas is now higher than when Biden left. Health Care premiums are higher. Housing is higher. And Trump has created nothing. The only thing benefitting from Trump is Trump and his billionaire friends.

[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.

By David Abbruzzes:

This Australian's reply to Trump's rant about “NATO not being there for America” is perfect.
"Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.
You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.
Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.
Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.
And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again.
And you're calling Greenland poorly run?
Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.
'NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.
And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.
So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your f----- mouth."

Very well stated.

Brianna Keilar: When you were Ohio Secretary of State and you could vote using a utility bill, bank statement or government check, that was a fair, safe and secure election.

Jon Husted: And we had fraud.

Keilar: There were 29 cases... that went through the full process.

HE REALLY IS LOSING IT!

In an interview with FOX Business Donald Trump said he want to Vietnam and served a couple of days there. Actually Trump received five deferments, including one for bone spurs.

But now he is telling everyone he was there?

Your thoughts?

Hey - Blondie! Americans are gong to tune into the Super Bowl no matter who or what the halftime show it. We want to watch the game. But there are 500 million Spanish-speaking people worldwide who don't care about the game but tuned in to see Bad Bunny.

Business is business & the NFL is all about business.

I’d say there about 40% of the way there. 50% is actually not voting for him. 100% is realizing the Democrats had your best interest in mind the entire time.
