This is really stupid, but the president has repeatedly claimed that Iran’s military capabilities were totally destroyed, so I feel obligated to rhetorically ask what the US is shooting at and retaliating to if Iran has no military anymore?
Why does anyone indulges such transparent lies at all?

The congressional switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. Put it in your cell phone. Use it. If you're not calling at least once a week, you're not doing your part.

You should ask yourself why all of the people who are screeching about election fraud on social media are always unwilling to repeat these claims under oath.
Let me help you: it’s because they know they’re full of shit. The entire purpose is to keep people angry.

The reason given for this is that she didn't report a decade-old conviction for smoking weed when she came back through customs earlier this year. This was in California, where she lived and where weed is legal. That is all it takes for them to take you; they do not need reasons, merely excuses.

CORRECTION: The war is not costing the US tens of billions of dollars.
That’s just the price tag of missiles fired & hardware smashed.
The actual cost to the US is *hundreds* of billions, and very possibly *thousands* of billions.
Justin Wolfers has crunched the numbers.

A great deal of the ocean's biodiversity is concentrated in coral reefs. Scientists warn that at 1.5C of global warming, up to 90% of coral reefs could be lost.
Ninety percent! And 1.5C is not lingering in the distance – it’s extremely close.
