I don’t think a 21X increase in the cost to get a tanker out of the Persian Gulf with lower total exports than before the war is an achievement. And I think it’s odd that so much of the press has been covering it as if we should see this as positive, with “Better Than You Think”-style “explainers.”

Yup, it’s a very shady offer. Just Security explained his $5K offer "potentially has violated multiple federal criminal statutes that criminalize buying or coercing votes. He has done so, moreover, in his unofficial, political capacity, and thus cannot claim immunity under Trump v. US"

A sitting president who casually mentions we should just let a foreign power obliterate two
American cities filled with millions of people all because he doesn't like how they tend to vote.

Something unprecedented happened during my visit to the Gulf. For the first time in 20 years in Congress, I was denied entry to U.S. military facilities and even meetings with military leaders. An order from Hegseth - that applies to both parties - to hide the cost of the war.

The corrupt gangsters running this government violate the law daily and use government funds for partisan politics to bribe voters in violation of the law. Trump has been emboldened by a rogue Supreme Court which has given him immunity and taken a blowtorch to the Constitution.

1. Lake Mead is down to about a quarter full — the lowest that’s ever been recorded. The white line is where the water used to be. When it gets this low, cities and farms lean harder on groundwater, and in a lot of places we’re already pumping that out faster than it refills.

Black text on a white that says the following:

The allegations in the Cornell sexual assault case are deeply disturbing and gut-wrenching. Cornell University has failed this survivor.

I fully support Governor Hochul's decision to name Attorney General James as special prosecutor in this case and look forward to the complete and extensive investigation that is to come. 

Accountability and justice cannot simply be values, they must also be delivered.

Regardless of the merits of data centers, this is not an appropriate use of public lands, because it monopolizes the land for a single private entity rather than keeping the land as multi-use, defeating the whole idea of public lands. Let Valar purchase its own land if it needs space.
