The guy who bailed out his Wall Street donors as they threw 10 million families out of their homes is now chiding “the left” for making materialist arguments about improving people’s economic situation rather than telling morality stories. Truly unreal.

Diesel fuels the trucks that deliver your food.
And the farm equipment that maintains and harvests the crops.
And the trains that deliver freight throughout the country.
If you don't get how bad this is, you will.
At more than $216 per barrel, US diesel futures are now at their highest level in history.
We just busted through the prior record set at the height of the 2022 crisis.

You realize, Mr, secretary, you just admitted to a war crime.
While we’re in a war with Iran, you openly admitted to attacking defenseless civilian ships after our military was attacked. You are authorized under the laws of war and American military law to attack their military targets, not their civilian targets.
This will not end well for you personally, or for our country at large. There will be a response from Iran, and the war will continue to spiral out of your control

We had to bomb Iran because the sanctions weren’t working… now we have to sanction Iran because the bombs aren’t working.
- all the really smart war bros

I like that the voice of the centrist dem party is a guy lying on his death bed
James Carville attacking Hasan Piker once again :
"This is either gonna be Hassan Piker's party or it's gonna be the party of congressional candidates that we have. He's some guy that's got a podcast and he's out there campaigning with El-Sayed. Hasan Piker is a raving antisemite. He and I, somebody ain't gonna be in this party. The long term prognosis of me and Hasan Piker being in the same tent politically is about nil."

If someone made this exact same statement -- but replaced "Muslim" with "Jew" -- their career would not only be instantly and permanently destroyed, but their families, banks, communities and employers would be relentlessly hounded until they were denounced, disowned and banned.

This is the perfect example of how money influences policy. Probably over 80% of registered Democrats don’t want to send more aid to Israel but the rank-and-file in Congress express “alarm” when they’re asked to do what their constituents want

instructive that the dc warmonger class thinks that *this* is a historic tragedy for the united states but financing a genocide for three years is nothing to get too bothered about
This is a jaw-dropping, horrific surrender document complete with hundreds of billions in reparations. It is the predictable result of incompetent negotiation and the foolhardy strategic catastrophe of starting and pursuing this disastrous war. The U.S. will not soon recover from this, the biggest national security blunder in decades.

There is something surreal about our government-appointed “experts” speaking about the threat to freedom of navigation. The U.S. attacks boats off the coast of Venezuela and imposes a blockade on both Venezuela and Cuba. NATO countries are currently engaged in a campaign of piracy and attacks on Russian ships. Iranian tankers have been hijacked for years.
International law is essentially a set of agreements based on mutual constraints, where predictability depends on reciprocity. You cannot exempt yourself from the rules and then expect compliance from the other side. The West has for years acted like rogue states, and they that sow the wind shall reap the whirlwind.

BREAKING: Drop Site’s Jeremy Scahill reports that in Hamas’s new proposal, it reinserted language Israel and U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff had removed — committing to hand over governance of Gaza to an independent Palestinian technical committee.
“Why is it that Israel insists on Hamas staying in power?” Ryan Grim asks in the video below.

Some of y'all are tired of Biden/Harris being criticized and challenged.
I'm tired of images of people abroad being burned alive with U.S. support.
We are not the same.

never ceases to amaze me how often we are asked to treat US politicians like delicate children who need to be shielded from any difficulty rather than some of the most powerful and consequential people on the planet

Israel waits until an AI-identified target is at home with his family before striking, killing everyone in the building (with no effort to check whether the AI was even correct). Any country sending arms to Israel at this point is a similarly rogue nation.

A Guardian investigation finds evidence Israeli snipers have been deliberately targeting children. Among their findings:

There may be no better way for Joe Biden to affirm the attack that he's weak and feckless than by not just doing nothing in response to a foreign country killing his own citizens, but by giving that country billions of taxpayer dollars more in weapons & aid

They bombed a hospital, no response. So they bombed them all.
They gunned down starving people at aid convoys, no response. So they bombed an international NGO.
They killed 40,000+ Palestinians, no response. So now they kill foreign citizens.
Absolute, depraved impunity.
