Americans overwhelmingly oppose the U.S. entering into war with Iran. The U.S. government should work to deescalate the crisis, prevent a full blown war, and not escalate tensions that put our national security at risk.

I’ve spent a good chunk of my career relying on American science and engineering to keep me alive. Yesterday, RFK Jr. testified at the U.S. Senate Finance Committee. It was sad to see him try to destroy the life’s work of so many American scientists. He shouldn’t be in this job.

Sen. Raphael Warnock: "For the first time, we're seeing deaths of children from measles. We're seeing that under your watch. You are a hazard to the health of the American people. I think you ought to resign and if you don't resign the president...should fire you."

Warnock: Clearly you have an agenda. It is a threat to the public health of the American people. It's clear that you are carrying out your extremist beliefs.

RFK JR: We’re the sickest people on earth. How am I a threat?

Warnock: I think that you ought to resign.

I'll never stop shaking my head and snickering every time I hear that RFK Jr. the heroin addict, who eats random roadkill, is MAHA, make America healthy again. We truly do live in the Age of Ignorance and Dumbfuckery.

The US brought in nearly $30 Billion in tariffs in July, triple the amount collected in previous years

That's not good news

Tariffs are taxes on Americans

That $30B was collected from you and me when we bought food, clothes, electronics...

It is galling for this puritanical pixie, who has the secular power to (1) prevent deaths in floods by making sure the National Weather Service is funded; and (2) help now by making sure FEMA is funded, to pretend that all we have as a nation to respond to disasters is the free placebo of prayer.
Mike Johnson on Texas floods: "In a moment like this, we feel just as helpless as everyone else does ... all we know to do at this moment is pray."

There is no fucking "invasion" and even a Trump judge says so.

These dumb fascists are beyond parody.
Stephen Miller says they are “actively looking at” suspending the writ of habeas corpus, which is only allowed when the US has been invaded or during an insurrection, which would not allow people to challenge their incarceration in court if they are arrested and detained.

I don't understand how some folks are unable to see that the illegal disappearing of people is a class issue. The wealthy and well-connected get due process. The rest of us don't. This is part of the oligarchy, not a distraction from it.
