Money will be made by Iran, since your deal just allowed them to charge $2 million per ship to pass through—a fee that never existed prior to the war.

Congress is completely useless at this point.

The DOJ told a court yesterday it had released just 1% of the Epstein files so far.
Screenshot of a post on X by Ron Filipkowski (@RonFilip…) stating that Thomas Massie said the DOJ is citing laws that don’t apply to hide key parts of the Epstein files. The post quotes Massie saying: “They’re still trying to protect billionaires, politically connected people, and trying to obscure the involvement of our own intelligence agencies.” Below the text is a video thumbnail showing a man outdoors at night, seen from the side, with bright lighting equipment nearby and a large building in the background.

Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists. Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election. Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot. It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.

Today seems an appropriate time to make my first post here. “In State,” a poem written for this sad day in our nation’s history.
In State
on the occasion of Donald J. Trump’s Second Inauguration
 
America is lying in state today,
laid bare in this consecrated place 
where she fought against her ravaging 
four years ago, where she cried 
and shook through her death throes, 
as we turned away, away,
and, again, away. Here, the fury 
of a jilted man caught the wind, 
as it always does, and poisoned 
our nation’s imagination, 
until we could no longer see
what we know we all saw.
 
America is lying in state today, 
in this sacred place of the people 
where past commanders rested, 
laid out under the guard 
of a flag bowing in gratitude, 
under the watch of a nation in grief.
 
Today, the remains of America 
are laid before us, here in the Rotunda, 
at the feet of a flaccid man beholden 
to the spectacle of pomp without circumstance, 
of a lowered flag ordered to stand 
without consent and without respect, at full mast. 
Together, we mourn our beloved stars 
and stripes, limp and shuddering, sad 
witness to this day’s blustering death rattle.
