While one would like to buy into Rubio’s pearl clutching, it’s worth noting that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has openly admitted to setting aside the rules of engagement—who’s to say he doesn’t have the same attitude toward international law? trib.al/erGMwRo

NEW: The military systems that the U.S. sent to the Iran region in recent weeks ALONE cost us nearly $60 MILLION per day — just a fraction of the cost of this war. That ~$60 million could cover Medicaid for 4 million Americans per day, or SNAP for 9.5 million. From @nationalpriorities.bsky.social:

As primary season kicks off today in North Carolina and Texas, some Democrats claim the party needs to "move to the center" to win in November. Hogwash. Democrats can't repeat the same failed playbook of the last 50 years. It's time for them to grow a spine.

The Failures of “Centrism”

By moving to the so-called “center,” Democrats have failed to fight the forces that led us to Donald Trump: widening ine

It’s hard enough for families to find high-quality, affordable child care — and Donald Trump’s cruel immigration agenda is making it even worse.

JUST IN: Democrats flip a red seat in the Texas Senate. Taylor Rehmet wins against Leigh Wambsganss, a conservative activist who helped lead right-wing efforts to take over TX school boards. With all early vote, and 95% of precincts, in, Dem up 57/43. Trump won this seat by 17% in Tarrant County.

Trump has turned our government into a personal ATM — funneling public money, contracts, and favors to his billionaire friends while we pay the price. Congress must pass @reprashida.govpeeps.us resolution to end their handouts and invest in public needs. @theguardian.com : tinyurl.com/3dbfkany

1 way to keep the Doomsday Clock from advancing further is to vote early & often by attending your local #DFL precinct caucus in 7.5 days, next Tuesday here in #SD51MN and every other district in Minnesota. We have a new #MNleg Senator to endorse & a new Governor. Being a delegate gives you a vote.

The Doomsday Clock now stands at 85 seconds to midnight—the closest it has ever been. When the New START treaty expires next week, there will be nothing stopping a new nuclear arms race. Trump and Putin could agree today to stick with New START limits. We can turn back the clock.

‘Brazen’ political influence of rich laid bare as wealth of billionaires reaches $18.3tn, says Oxfam

Governments opting for oligarchy while brutally repressing protests over austerity and lack of jobs, charity report says The world saw a record number of billionaires created last year, with a collective wealth of $18.3tn (£13.7tn), while global efforts stalled in the fight against poverty and hunger. Oxfam’s annual survey of global inequality has revealed that the number of billionaires surpassed 3,000 for the first time during 2025. Since 2020, their collective wealth grew by 81%, or $8.2tn, which the charity claims would be enough to eradicate global poverty 26 times over. Continue reading...
