Trump has said the Iran war is almost over at least 60 times. It's been 212 days. 19 service members are dead, 800+ wounded, $43 billion gone. We counted every broken promise with @votevets.org.

The major platforms—Facebook, YouTube, and X—are all refusing to show the trailer for the upcoming documentary that eviscerates the ridiculous pest Elon Musk. So I guess we have to do our part to make sure it is seen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eY_8...

The important question is what happens after the disclosure: who gets recused, who divests, and who keeps overseeing industries tied to their private financial interests.

All these failed Washington, D.C., projects that have cost taxpayers millions, if not billions because of legal shortcuts and shoddy work really shine a light on what kind of “real estate king” Donald Trump was in NY. We already knew he was a nightmare. This is more confirmation

Usually, when I block someone, I don’t have to think about them again. But I got a nice apology email today that Mail summarized: He apologizes for his rude behavior on Bluesky, where he criticized your post about balcony solar panels. He acknowledges he was wrong and the behavior was unwarranted.

The war in Iran has shown that Trump’s inability to perceive reality has become truly dangerous. Iran is a disaster, but Trump’s irrationality could create other, even more perilous situations. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Trump’s Irrationality Is Dangerous

The president’s recent rant is a sign of serious dysfunction in the Oval Office.

Just so everyone knows, this is a tried-and-true mainstream media tactic. For progressives/leftist candidates, every election is a “crucial test” and any loss would serve as proof to the media that the latest left-side moment is at its end. Any win, though, just means it’s time to find a new test.

#ResistanceRoots Major General Smedley Butler was born on this day in 1881 in West Chester, Pa. One of the most decorated figures in U.S. Marine Corps history, he transformed into an anti-war activist and whistleblower. He exposed a plot by wealthy men to overthrow FDR and install a dictator. /1

Brigadier General Smedley Butler in uniform, ca. 1921-1929. Butler’s transformation from a decorated commander into an anti-war activist was not caused by a sudden epiphany. His final year in the military soured his view of institutional power, and his retirement freed him from military censorship. While active in the Marine Corps, he was bound by military discipline and could not publicly criticize the government. Free from the threat of a court-martial, he began using his retirement lectures to unpack the moral rot he had witnessed throughout his 34-year career.
