Learned today that the Challenger crew cabin survived the initial breakup largely intact - and that 3 emergency air packs were activated - changes everything. They weren't lost instantly; they fought for each other through those agonizing final moments.

Blatant corruption in plain sight. “Not only is this another heinously corrupt act by the most corrupt administration in history, it’s clearly a violation of the law that prohibits interference by executive branch officials in IRS audits.”

Does it actually matter if the US military pulls out of Europe anymore? Putting aside the chaotic way the Trump administration is handling the withdrawal from Germany, is there a strategic reason to stay while they’re actively undermining longtime allies?

​It feels like Trump decided the path to immortality is to fail so colossally that it becomes folklore. ​Legacy of incompetence? Secured. Now it’s just a question of how much more damage he does before the end. Hopefully the situation doesn't deteriorate further. Though I’m not exactly optimistic

A doctor friend thinks Trump suffers from porphyria, a genetic disorder characterized by confusion, agitation, and paranoia. King George III had the same thing and they treated him with leeches and arsenic, which today is known as the GOP healthcare plan.

Trump: “Total victory. I’m a genius.” ​Also Trump: “NATO must send ships to the Strait of Hormuz NOW or the alliance is dead!” ​Imagine winning a war so hard you have to threaten "useless" allies to help you find the exit while the war you "won" is still being fought.

14 days into a war and the Pentagon is a ghost town. ​Hegseth fired the Joint Chiefs, the Navy & Air Force heads, and the DIA, replacing career strategists with loyalists. ​A Fox News host gutted the military while Jim Mattis warned of "catastrophe."

Is the Hormuz Strait becoming Trump’s "Bay of Pigs"? ​Pushing ships into IRGC drone fire while ignoring Naval warnings is classic "Groupthink." ​The irony: Trump claims a "win" despite high oil prices, but it actually fuels a US gas crisis while Russia and China cash in. Strategic chaos.

Old cartoon gets new life. ​Ron Cobb’s 1975 critique of the military-industrial complex hits just as hard in 2026. ​The perspective shift here is everything: those on the ground looking up at the billion-dollar shadows and seeing a systemic failure, not a show of force.

New Update: $PUSA is officially coming to Nasdaq. The Trump brothers are merging their golf company with drone-maker Powerus to chase a $1.1B Pentagon fund created by their father. The President starts the war, bans the competition, and the sons sell the weapons. Corruption in the making.

Eric & Don Jr. are turning the Iran war into a family business. Trump starts war. Trump bans foreign drone rivals (DJI). Sons merge their golf co with Powerus to sell 10k drones/mo to the Pentagon. Their own bank brokers the deal. The ultimate conflict of interest.

Reminder that Lisa Simpson was born in 2018 (the character is canonically 8 years old in present day). She has only known the Trump era. Bart (always 10) was born in 2016, his baby photos taken with an iPhone 7. Homer, 39, graduated high school around 2005. He's a millennial.

Poetic irony: Trump’s tariffs were just deemed illegal. Now, corporations must be lining up to sue for refunds. This guts the regime's primary strategy - the tariffs weren't just a "tax," they were the revenue source and the leverage they planned to use against the world. Back to square one.

European leaders don't trust Trump and his regime after the tumble with Greenland. Treaties are being treated like property deeds and allies like adversaries. By trying to "buy" a sovereign territory through economic threats, the U.S. hasn't gained Greenland - it’s only managed to isolate itself.

Why are the Epstein files still critical? Because it's about holding power accountable, ensuring justice for survivors, and preventing future abuse. The vast majority of documents are still locked away, despite legal mandates. Don't let the conversation die. Demand full transparency. #EpsteinFiles
