Last week, the president threatened to end a civilization. Now, he's attacking the Pope and posting an image of himself as Jesus. Not American. Not Christian. Not presidential.

Why were the President and Secretary of State at a UFC fight tonight—while two real estate bros and the VP were trying to negotiate ending a war? And we’re wondering why it failed…?

BREAKING: Trump announces plan to allow corporations to dump coal ash – which is TWICE as radioactive as *nuclear fuel* – into our drinking water! Yes, you read that right. Trump’s EPA is proposing to weaken rules for the safe disposal of super-mega-toxic ash produced by burning coal that contains hazardous heavy metals and contaminates groundwater. “The Trump administration proposed easing standards for monitoring and protecting groundwater near some coal ash sites, and rolling back rules that require the cleanup of entire coal properties rather than just the sites where ash was dumped. The revisions would also make it easier to reuse coal ash for other purposes,” reports the Associated Press. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin said the proposal reflects the agency’s “commitment to restoring American energy dominance, strengthening cooperative federalism, and accommodating unique circumstances at certain (coal) facilities.” The rules were strengthened by – you guessed it – the Biden administration a few years ago, and now Trump is trying to gut them on behalf of his cronies in Big Coal. It is shocking to see just how eagerly the Trump administration is gutting all the regulations that keep us safe. “The Trump administration just took a sledgehammer to the health protections in place for toxic coal pollution,” said Lisa Evans, senior counsel at environmental group Earthjustice. “This is yet another handout to the coal power industry at the expense of our health, water, and wallets.” He is more than willing to make us drink poison and develop terrible cancers, all so his donors can save a little bit of money on cleaning up the toxic byproducts of their carbon pollution. There is nothing sacred to these nihilistic scumbags, no respect for anything but their own bottom lines. Trump is willing to burn everything to the ground just so he can be king of the ashes – with not a care in the world for the millions of people who will suffer and die because of his decisions.

Things that do not help Americans: -New ballroom. -New arch. -War in Iran. -Campaigning for Viktor Orban. -Renaming the Kennedy Center. -Renaming the Dept of Defense. -UFC fight on the white house lawn. -Pardoning every MAGA criminal. -Deluge of gold in the oval office. -"Winning" the FIFA peace prize. -Useless cabinet meetings of slaves. -Rage posting every minute. -Fighting Bruce Springsteen. -Melania Movie.

Yes, it is incredibly concerning that the Trump sons are backing a drone company that's aiming to sell to Gulf states that now need more protection given that their father started a war with Iran. apnews.com/article/trump-…

"I could take out Iran in one day. I could take out... in one hour": This is 25th Amendment stuff. Notice he always uses the word "I". This is how dictators talk. In Trump's delusion, he has separated himself from the country. It's how Hitler talked. 😳👇

Remember: The election was not rigged, and Fox News had to pay a $787.5 million settlement for lying and saying it was.

The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world. Most of all, it’s a testament to the resilience and determination of the Hungarian people – and a reminder to all of us to keep striving for fairness, equality and the rule of law.

Congress lets 68,000 Americans die each year because they can’t access or afford healthcare. But Republicans never seem to care about those American lives because health insurance and pharmaceutical companies cut them campaign checks.

We’ve been doing this same thing for 15 months. On tariffs, Panama Canal, Greenland, Canada, Nobel Prize, law firms, media companies, state govts, on and on. Trump makes crazy threats & ultimatums. Causes chaos. Backs down. Causes more chaos. Pointing that out isn’t provoking him into doing worse - he will do worse on his own. “We can’t criticize Trump right now over this fiasco or he might do crazy things” is a ridiculous position that fails to understand what Trump is all about.

Trump 🤝 war profiteering The golden age of corruption

9 years ago. @HillaryClinton warned us: “This is not someone who should ever have the nuclear codes – because it’s not hard to imagine Donald Trump leading us into a war just because somebody got under his very thin skin.”

Last year, Donald Trump Jr was named to the board of GrabAGun, an online firearms retailer. That means he's making money from a company selling guns, while his father (the president) rolls back gun regulations. That's awfully convenient. smokinggun.org/new-video-exam…

He raped a 12 year old girl repeatedly for years. He sexually abused a child. Trump chose him to be his “spiritual advisor”. He was found guilty and only served 6 months. He destroyed that child’s life. She will never be the same. 6 months is an atrocity.

So he’ll stop bombing Iran in order to reopen the Strait of Hormuz… …which was open before he started bombing Iran. Got it.

"A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again" Trump is talking like dictators of the past.

Donald Trump created an international disaster over absolutely NOTHING and then entered into a negotiation in which he gave up EVERYTHING. This guy is a massive loser elected by 77 million lost and misguided Americans. America is weak under Trump.

The world is on edge today because of this fucking moron. He’s a felon, a rapist, a pedophile now threatening to wipe out a civilization. A special “FUCK YOU” to his enablers and the 77 million who looked at this ignoramus and said, “Yep, that’s our guy.”

Twenty-six generals and admirals in fourteen months. No misconduct cited for a single one. A former Fox News weekend host who never held a senior military command has removed the Joint Chiefs Chairman, the Army Chief of Staff, the commander of Army Transformation and Training, the Chief of Chaplains, and at least 22 other senior officers from the most powerful military on earth. He blocked four Army officers from promotion to brigadier general, two Black men and two women, by unilaterally striking their names from a list of 36. When Army Secretary Dan Driscoll refused to remove them, Hegseth did it himself. No hearing. No review board. No Senate consultation. The names were struck because the man who reads the list decided they should not be on it. The pattern is not random. It is architectural. Every removal serves the same function: shortening the distance between a presidential decision and its execution. The officers who remain are the ones who did not resist. The officers who resisted are gone. The replacement for the Army Chief of Staff is Vice Chief General Christopher LaNeve, who served as Hegseth’s personal military aide. The man who carried the briefcase now signs the orders. The chain of command has been rebuilt so that every link answers directly to the man who removed the previous link. General Randy George was the commander of the United States Army’s ground forces. That title matters now in a way it did not matter six weeks ago. Before February 28, ground forces in Iran were a theoretical exercise discussed in war colleges and think tanks. After five weeks of air strikes, with the IRGC publishing bridge target lists across four allied nations, with the President saying the military has “not even started” destroying what remains, with MEUs staged in the Gulf and the 82nd Airborne deploying and JSOC operators at forward bases in four countries, the ground option is no longer theoretical. It is a logistics package. And the man whose job was to assess whether that package should be opened was told to retire the same day the President posted “much more to follow.” Lieutenant General Hodne ran the command that trains every soldier who would execute a ground operation. Major General Green led the chaplain corps that would minister to every soldier who dies in one. George decided whether the operation should happen. Hodne prepared the soldiers to carry it out. Green prepared them to live with it. All three were removed on the same afternoon. Congress has not held a hearing. No subpoenas issued. The legal authority for a Defence Secretary to unilaterally override promotion lists and force immediate retirement of Senate-confirmed officers during wartime has not been tested because nobody with the authority to question it has chosen to. The IRGC has said attacks will “intensify from next week.” The Ford carrier is heading back. The CNN intelligence assessment confirms half of Iran’s launchers and thousands of drones remain. The President has named the next targets: power plants, desalination, oil wells, Kharg Island. And every general who might have said “this crosses a line” is already gone. Twenty-six officers. Zero misconduct findings. One question that every general still serving is asking behind closed doors: who is left to say no? And what happens when the answer is nobody? open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

This is an absolutely rotten, evil thing to say. “Stone Age” implies targeting civilians—the innocent men, women, and children he is supposedly trying to liberate from a brutal, oppressive regime. That would be a war crime.
