Alarming — 🇺🇸 Senator @chrismurphyct.bsky.social denied access to military facilities in the Middle East: “Unprecedented. Hegseth is trying to cover up the extent of the damage from a war spiraling out of control. This should be unacceptable to everybody, Republican or Democrat.”

Paxton on leaked audio: "I've never been in a race where I felt less control over the campaign and what issues are going to matter because it's all coming -- you know -- from DC, and I don't control message or what we're doing, and I don't have ability to change anything."

Let's all AGREE that a President suggesting that a foreign adversary taking out 2 American cities is "a small price to pay" is the most fucked up thing a President ever said. 25th Amendment NOW.

How is it not news when the president nods off in public meetings and press conferences dozens of times? If you follow independent media, you see it and know about it. But why hasn’t CBS, NBC or ABC showed a montage of it on their evening news? They simply refuse to ever show it.

"Empire of Grift” by @anneapplebaum.wsocial.eu
Slowly, the Brazilians were learning the same lesson as other American allies around the world: The United States of America is no longer the entity they knew. And American power is no longer deployed solely by trained diplomats and reliable officials, working through state channels. Informal envoys, private companies, online grifters, and hardened ideologues both inside and outside the government matter more. Unlike their predecessors, these people do not talk about spreading democracy, and don’t want to build long-term relationships. They don’t care about America’s reputation. They are deploying the tools of American diplomacy and government for their own purposes, to promote their own business interests or their own ideological goals, because, suddenly, they can.

The scariest thing Trump has said (recently) is that nuking Iran would bring peace to the world, because Iran is a source of war. That is how close we currently are to committing a Holocaust. Look around: does anyone seem to be registering the degree of alarm that this crisis requires?
