1 month into the Iran war, Donald Trump said it would be over "in about two weeks." That was 182 days ago. That's why we partnered with VoteVets to build a calendar of every single time Trump said the war would be ending. Go to AboutTwoWeeks.com and see for yourself.

New: Trump called crypto "thin air." Last year, he reported $1.4 billion in income from it. Buyers of his crypto? They're an estimated $4.7 billion underwater. I made an 8-bit game out of it— 📈 Play as Trump: you cannot lose money. 📉 Play as an investor: you cannot win.

A short thread on “legitimate concerns”. The phrase is used repeatedly by UK government ministers. The Home Secretary is at it again this week. But only ever - as far as I can tell - in one context: people’s response to the arrival of asylum seekers. Please read whole 🧵before responding - thanks

Donald gives McDonald’s $10. McDonald’s gives him a hamburger. McDonald’s buys nothing from Donald. That’s a $10 trade deficit, not a $10 loss, because the stupid motherfucker received a hamburger. We’re being governed by a man who cannot understand lunch.

I think it's worth noting that nothing is being done now. Johnson has kept congress home for most of the year over the Epstien files. The two year average is 284 stand alone bills passed. This congress has passed 38....they hold all 3 branches. These are not serious people.

Oh, honey . . . If God really listens to your prayers about deaths from gun violence, He would have answered the one *before* the latest death(s), beseeching Him to allow no more deaths, not the one after He ignored that prayer and allowed one more death to occur.

If prayer is really the goal, pray literally anywhere else. If proximity is essential, maybe it’s not prayer you’re after. Maybe it’s harassment and intimidation.

Trump has gutted the FBI’s election protection task force, DHS election teams, ODNI cells, and the EAC. If he’s so concerned about the security of our elections… …why is he systematically dismantling the tools to protect them? 🤔

This is a prime example of why right-wing populism slides so easily into antisemitism. You need a populist framing of "the people" versus "the elites," but you can't frame the elites in strictly economic terms, or else you end up with leftism. Hence you need another way to define "elites."

Reminder: Trump was president during the election he says was rigged, and when Dems were in charge he won — which means either they really suck at rigging elections or he is full of shit. (Hint: it’s the latter)

I’m not sure why we still have a monarch. It seems like a medieval anachronism to me; a demonstration of inherited status and the the pinnacle of an entrenched aristocracy. And I’m really not sure why our monarch has gone to the US to stand next to another man with too much power, land and money.

Just wanted to remind folks, especially the GOP and the FDD, that Barack Obama’s 2015 nuclear deal didn’t give Iran control of the Strait of Hormuz or allow it to keep 60% enriched uranium. It sent $1.7 billion to Iran versus the tens of billions Iran will now make from tolls. 🤷🏽‍♂️

OK, the BBC wasn't accused of using AI to generate fake comments by Trump, as he claims here. The issue was the way they edited his remarks on Jan. 6. He said all those words as laid out in the documentary, but the way they were spliced together made it seem like a continuous section of the speech.

Operation Ajax: In 1953, Iran had a democratically elected PM, Mohammad Mossadegh. His real offense was daring to take control of Iran’s oil so the wealth would benefit the Iranian people instead of foreign corporations. The Shah was installed as a Western backed dictator who ruled for decades.
