Without oil, there’s no electricity to pump water much less treat it. How are 10 million people suddenly expected to forage for water — or wood to boil it? Or food — which can no longer be refrigerated? The humanitarian disaster is here and Donald Trump caused it. This is insane.

Brown people are bad except when they do essential jobs that most Americans won't do. Once the crops are harvested they'll ship these guys back to wherever again, and they'll be lucky if "wherever" is somewhere they've been before, have connections to, and where they speak a familiar language.

I have not see any really substantive analysis that support's Lee's claim: the SAVE Act will target women, who lean Democratic, but especially married women who have changed their names, who lean Republican. But it is telling that this is clearly the motive. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-save-a...

It is important to pay absolutely no attention to anything the president says about the war. He's a liar and he's delusional at the same time. (Hegseth and the rest are just parroting him so you can't pay attention to them either.) Just roll your eyes and move on. Look to other sources.

FCC to journalists: cover the Iran war the way the president prefers or lose your broadcast license.
Brendan Carr tweet: Broadcasters that are running hoaxes and news distortions - also known as the fake news - have a chance now to correct course before their license renewals come up.  

The law is clear.  Broadcasters must operate in the public interest, and they will lose their licenses if they do not. 

And frankly, changing course is in their own business interests since trust in legacy media has now fallen to an all time low of just 9% and are ratings disasters.

The American people have subsidized broadcasters to the tune of billions of dollars by providing free access to the nation’s airwaves. 

It is very important to bring trust back into media, which has earned itself the label of fake news.

When a political candidate is able to win a landslide election victory after in the face of hoaxes and distortions, there is something very wrong.  It means the public has lost faith and confidence in the media.  And we can’t allow that to happen.

Time for change!

Trump "Truth":

Yet again, an intentionally misleading headline by the Fake News Media about the five tanker planes that were supposedly struck down at an Airport in Saudi Arabia, and of no further use. In actuality, the Base was hit a few days ago, but the planes were not “struck” or “destroyed.” Four of the five had virtually no damage, and are already back in service. One had slightly more damage, but will be in the air shortly. None were destroyed, or close to that, as the Fake News said in headlines. The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (in particular), and other Lowlife “Papers” and Media actually want us to lose the War. Their terrible reporting is the exact opposite of the actual facts! They are truly sick and demented people that have no idea the damage they cause the United States of America. Fortunately, as proven by our Great and Conclusive Election Win in 2024, the People of our Country understand what is happening far better than the Fake News Media! President DONALD J. TRUMP

For a reality TV president, the accidental and horrific bombing of an Iranian elementary school is an inevitable "encounter with the Real"
bloom.bg
The US May Have to Answer for the Iranian School Bombing
In the early hours of the Iran war, as Israel and the US began dropping their awe-inspiring ordnance, one barrage of American Tomahawk missiles apparently struck an elementary school, killing about 175 people, most of them young girls. An investigation is ongoing. But this accident could prove to be the worst tragedy committed by American forces in many years. What matters now, aside from ensuring that nothing like it happens again, is how the US, and above all President Donald Trump, responds.
