Trump and Kegsbreath are total losers. As is our nation with this administration.
Angry@angrystaffer.bsky.social · yesterdayCool, cool. We’re basically out of ATACMS and PrSM, and we used half our *global* TLAM supply… all for the Strait of Hormuz to still be closed?
I 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.
RFK Jr and wife had a soiree at their Hollywood mansion during COVID and required proof of COVID vaccination with RSVP. Watch what they do, not what they say. –Rachel Maddow
Around eight million books were destroyed in Kharkiv yesterday. Many Ukrainians are responding by buying books from the affected publishers and from KnyhoLand, the bookstore chain that also used the warehouse. I bought these today.
Max Miller released audio recordings of conversations he has with his ex wife. In one of them, she accuses him of clandestinely recording their conversations. “I have never recorded our conversations” he says, while recording their conversation. This is domestic violence. Ask me how I know.
The points Miller makes in his video are common from abusers. He recorded her. He calls her crazy. He says she was nice to him. He says she never went to a doctor. Anyone who is a survivor of DV has heard all of it.

His few operating brain cells fired off: a) he can't rule out it was Iran, b) he thinks it was Minnesota, c) it was Minnesota.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 5d agoQ: Can you rule out that Iran is behind the water attacks? TRUMP: I don't think so. I think that Minnesota is behind it. You know who is behind it? Minnesota. Because they're grossly incompetent. I don't think there was an Iranian cyberattack. I think Minnesota ought to get its act together.
Ronald Reagan ignored the AIDS crisis—and his “dear friend” from Hollywood, Rock Hudson, who asked for help. Dr. Fauci jumped in and helped. Guess which guy the homophobic ghouls in the Republican Party revere today.
American citizens of Japanese ancestry were rounded up and put in concentration camps at the start of WWII. They lost their freedoms and property. But Dozing Donnie had it worse, I guess.
Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 5d agoAt the start of the Civil War, there were 4 million people who were enslaved in the US. Families were separated so some members could be sold to plantations in other parts of the country, including children.

Steve Rattner@steverattner.bsky.social · last wk.Trump promised to bring down rates. Before the Iran War, markets expected rate cuts of up to 0.75 points this year. The inflationary war flipped the calculus: now they're pricing in two rate HIKES by mid-2027. My @morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social Chart
