Shocking news that the Nobel Committee does not award Peace Prize to an orange toddler who commits war crimes and murders people in international waters.

Every day, the news out of this White House and Hegseth convinces me that, to them, The Terminator was an inspirational blueprint for the future they seem hellbent on bringing down on us. No boundaries on AI and autonomous drones. What could go wrong?

How steeply have we fallen as a leader of the free world when our highest court ignores the rights of individuals in favor of the despotic desires of a dictator who has trampled the rights of immigrants and citizens alike. Have we reached the bottom yet?

The ineptitude, if not outright corruption, throughout this administration from the Executive down to the USPS is damn scary. This is the inherent danger when a corrupt criminal is serving as the titular head of government who appoints cronies in every branch and agency. #ImpeachNow

It's just astounding to me. trump has spent billions on a needless war with Iran - with no end in sight. And, to date, has spent just shy of $4 billion pointlessly because of his and the GOP's anti-green ideology. Constant waste and an absent Congress with the GOP just kissing his ass.

The AP reports "U.S. Central Command said in a social media post that U.S. forces intercepted “unprovoked Iranian attacks” and responded with self-defense strikes." Pro tip: if you start a war and continue acts of war in blockading a nation's ships, you forfeit the right to call these "unprovoked."
