Career staff at the CFTC were investigating suspiciously timed trades surrounding Trump’s announcement that the U.S. would not bomb Iranian power plants.
Then a senior adviser to Trump’s CFTC commissioner told them to back off.
Could this administration get any more corrupt?

Did you know everyone can call their school or education dept & ask to clear up food tabs. Balance fees are a few dollars upward to 100's. Also you can put funds in for future food needs. Even non-famous, working people can help. Our job as adults in the room is is to protect the children & planet.

No midterm election was ever canceled since the Constitution was ratified — not during World Wars I or II, or even the Civil War. Widespread absentee voting was implemented during the Civil War to ensure Union soldiers could vote while at the front lines. vote411.org @lwv.org @lwvva.bsky.social

Just heard a R spokes person say it is “not possible” to provide “adequate health care” to all Americans. “It’s too expensive.”
And then blame the ACA for making it more expensive. Never mind that Rs sabotaged it from day one.
And with no alternative solution.

My son was 1 when world leaders pledged to keep global warming below 1.5C in an attempt to avoid irreversible climate collapse.
When he was 10 the planet spent a whole year above 1.5C.
By the time he’s 14, 1.5C will likely be crossed forever.
The greatest betrayal in the history of our species.

This whole removal of airplanes from England …
Remembering my US history it strikes me as ironic that we struck at the British army through “asymmetrical attacks”.
Now, we have taken the role of the British with the “best military”, and Iran is using the same tactics we did.
