Pete is lost in terms of modern war. I use the example of this outgunned Ukrainian army officer who successfully terrorized a Russian unit for weeks because she "did the math." At the time, someone commented, "yeah, in combat, 'I did the math' beats 'I can do 100 pushups' every time."

Ukrainian female soldier: Okay, I said the idea is this: There is enough time to empty one full can of 32 grenades and be gone by the time the return mortar fire reaches us. I did the math.

Sen. Susan Collins helped steer millions in federal defense contracts to Navatek, whose CEO illegally funneled thousands of dollars to her campaign. The FBI sought to launch a probe and was eyeing Collins and other lawmakers. Then Trump gutted the unit in charge. THREAD 🧵

#Denmark built so much wind that some blustery hours the turbines out-produce what the whole country is using. When that happens, the extra power doesn’t sit idle. It moves through Denmark’s links into the wider European network and heads to neighbors like Germany, Norway, Sweden. #ActOnClimate

So the Trump administration’s two goals in peace talks with Iran are: 1. A commitment by Iran not to develop a nuke (This was part of the Obama deal that Trump canceled) 2. Opening the Strait of Hormuz. (Was open before war.)

Thanks to Trump's Big, Beautiful Bill, big corporations paid $65 BILLION LESS in federal taxes last year. For reference, $65 BILLION could pay for over 2 years of ACA tax credit extensions. They literally cut healthcare to give mega-corps like Amazon & Meta a tax cut.

As of this afternoon, ICE has purchased 11 warehouses for conversion into detention camps. 11 sales have been canceled. ICE has spent $1.04 billion on warehouse acquisitions. It will cost the government an estimated $7.57 billion to operate all 11 warehouses per year.

Interactive map titled "ICE Facilities of Interest" showing bubble indicators across the United States. Bubbles are sized by number of beds (500 to 15,000) and color-coded by status: Green (Sale Canceled), Yellow (Prospective Site), Red (Bought by ICE), and Orange (Conversion in Progress). Concentrations of large red and orange bubbles appear in Utah, Texas, and along the Northeast corridor, while yellow prospective sites are clustered in the South and Midwest.

Remember how Trump said ICE targets “violent criminals?” Trump’s own DOJ now reports that ONLY 2.5% of the people ICE arrested in Chicago have any criminal history. That means 97.5% have ZERO criminal record. They were targeted because they were of Latino ethnicity. This is what fascism looks like
