BREAKING: The U.S. military is striking new targets in Iran after attempted attacks on commercial shipping and American troops. Trump warns that if Iran retaliates, “the biggest attack” is waiting in the wings. A president who promised to end wars is now advertising the sequel.
The Trump Tax on American families — As Republicans shrug 🤷🏼
Republicans have long faced a problem with voters over high gasoline prices—but the economic pain from near-record diesel fuel prices is hitting at the worst possible time for them. The rise in the cost of fuel used for trucking, agriculture & winter heating is even worse than the jump in gasoline.

BREAKING: A U.S. Postal Service official has filed a whistleblower report alleging the agency is pushing ahead with a “secretive, rushed” effort to implement Trump’s order giving the federal government more control over mail voting, despite a court order blocking the plan.
Trump's message to Americans worried about data centers in their backyard: fall in line, or you're "backwards and poor." Making the case for something means respecting the people you're trying to convince. That's what leadership looks like. Trump is incapable of it. (Link below)
So I wonder if the new DOJ hiring rules that now accept bestiality, embezzlement, and prostitution were changed so they could hire certain specific people that they want? Like they found someone willing to follow illegal orders or make up evidence, but these pesky rules made them unacceptable?

"It’s not new that Americans are seen by others as an unserious people. But the willingness to twice elect a man so buffoonish, depraved and hateful to our highest office provokes the belief that Americans...cannot be trusted any longer to do the right thing." open.substack.com/pub/america/...
