And MAGA bot accounts go silent after Zelenskyy bombs a Russian bot farm. Elon is BIG MAD! Plus, a rare "good" billionaire steps up, and Trump ads using our tax dollars ordered stopped by a judge.

Probably not a coincidence that Trump is banning multiple media outlets from the White House at the same time that we have confirmation that the White House has been lying about military casualties in this illegal war in Iran.

Republican economic policies damage the economy. Democratic policies, taxing the wealthy and supporting the rest, grow the economy for everyone. We have been watching this truth for 50 years, and the voters STILL do not get it. Remarkable. Educated, informed voters are the lifeblood of Democracy.

Seems to me like Trump is desperately begging Iran to sign a replica of the Obama JCPOA he tore up. All for the low low price of thousands dead, global instability, high energy prices, and a toll on ships through the once-free strait of Hormuz.
