Did you see how Apple, Amazon Walmart and other big companies are refunding the billions of dollars they got back from the federal tariff settlement to their customers, who ultimately bore the cost of higher prices? Yea, me neither.

Did army stuff. Then federal stuff. Now do mountain, coffee, fire, EMS stuff “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights…” What would John Brown do?
Hegseth's actions make a lot more sense when you realize that the War on Terror-era military, for all its other faults, accurately clocked him as an unsatisfactory officer, and he's trying to remake the military into one that wouldn't do that.

Great thread and superb investigation by Wyden’s team.
Senator Ron Wyden@wyden.senate.gov · yesterdayOne more interesting point: this spring I sat down with Sharyn Alfonsi of 60 Minutes for an extensive interview about my Epstein investigation. Subsequently, CBS pulled the segment and fired the reporter. The MAGA buyout of media has unquestionably aided the Trump administration’s cover up here.
So sad for this young lady and child! She lost her spouse for #TrumpsUnnecessayWar Repost #Blues #TrumpsWar
Not sure why my comment offended him. It was intended to support him but I get it. Once you’ve been through a Bluesky feeding frenzy, blocking can be reflexive. One thing that disappoints me about this forum is that there is no way to clear up misunderstandings once the nuclear option is invoked.
Personally, I’m here for all the validation I get. /S

No charges ever filed. Word of caution to all of those demanding accountability after the mid-terms: it’s mostly the same party that failed to hold him accountable last time. Manage your expectations.
Katie Phang@katiephang.bsky.social · 2d agoA BIG disclosure in a lawsuit brought by Trump against Capital One reveals the bank closed more than 300 of Trump’s accounts in 2021 after a months-long anti-money laundering review by professionals with decades of law enforcement experience.

The whole point of the Bill of Rights is to protect the only true minority - the individual. It limits the governments power to harm the individual. The whole constitution is designed to limit the governments power.

Shipwreck@shipwreck75.bsky.social · 2d agoA senior officer in US Central Command’s (CENTCOM) intelligence branch emailed a broad group of military analysts seeking “new creative and unconventional ways to pressure and punish Iran.” A second source indicated a similar request went out the prior week.
Claude suggests: Bureaucracy bomb: Require Iran to file all oil exports through the German Finanzamt. IKEA sanctions: Ship them 10 million BILLY shelves — without the little Allen keys. ...1/2
People need to be shouting this from the rooftops. Don’t let this festering ass-boil rewrite history.
Dr. Lucky Tran@luckytran.com · 3d agoI worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

A month after Air Force Major Jason Watson was arrested on the Capitol steps calling for Trump and Vance’s impeachment, D.C. prosecutors have declined to pursue the criminal charge against him. He still faces action from the Air Force. Stay critical. Stay informed.
Epstein files aren't worth seeing or discussing, but Fauci's personal diary...? THERE's our new distraction. I'd listen to this remarkable woman.
The FBI should have ended it long before Access Hollywood. There must be a reckoning and IDGAF if it means going after people like Comey or even democratic presidents if they helped steer government away from taking him down.

"A concentration camp, in its most basic definition, is a place where a targeted civilian population, not necessarily accused of a crime, is detained and at least some of their basic rights are suspended," writes @jwashing.bsky.social. "That’s precisely what’s happening in the United States today."
