@DrALJONES Given the way the GOP folded and got in line behind everything he's done, all of em. Given the way 1/3 to 1/2 of Dems get along with voting to fund ICE and Israeli genocide youve got a pretty good answer there too.

@raph thanks Obama and USA taxpayers for the help to Israel to build and expand to the scale Israel could never do on its own.

Starmer's go-to excuse: 'I was in the dark'. Don't believe it."Starmer has followed a trajectory of career-enhancing ignorance."This week, Starmer said he didn't know Mandelson had failed security vetting for the post of US ambassador.Note: In 2017, Starmer joined the oligarchs' Trilateral Commission without telling his then leader, Corbyn. Notably, Mandelson was also invited.https://www.jonathan-cook.net/blog/ Re TriComhttps://independentaustralia.net/politics/politics-display/an-excess-of-democracy-how-corporations-killed-the-campus,15165#UKPol #USPol #Starmer #Mandelson #news #TriCom .

Report: "We need technical experts negotiating with Iran, not real estate dealers.""The 2015 [Obama] deal was negotiated by technical experts & physicists who understood how nuclear weapons are made. Under [that] agreement, Iran could not build a bomb."“Under what circumstances would you put a couple of real estate dealers & nepo babies in charge of these negotiations?”~Bill Foster, PhD physics, Harvardhttps://aje.news/zo0udq?update=4500967 #USPol #EUPol #IranWar #news #IranNuclearDeal .

@Lazarou He sounds pretty on-edge.

Congress quietly reauthorized a surveillance program that spies on Americans no roll call, no accountability, just a voice vote at midnight. The Senate rubber-stamped the extension until April 30, buying themselves less than two weeks before they have to do this all over again.https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/senate-extends-controversial-surveillance-program-used-by-u-s-spy-agencies https://bsky.app/profile/altnps.bsky.social/post/3mjplq5n46s2r-From resistance team of US Natl Park Svc500+ char posts not resentUnaffiliated w/ AltNPS-#AltNPS #Coup #Activism #NationalParkService #FederalGovernment #USpol #Trump

LEGO: "What Shall We Do with Drunken Hegseth?" Early in the Morning!Hegseth "used a Fake BIBLE verse from the movie Pulp Fiction during a Pentagon Christian worship service."https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uc_2gyVhIr4 Thanks for the heads-up, David Bainbridge! @davebainbridge #USPol #Hegseth #EUPol #Iran #News #palestine .

@Walrus Yes, agree. However, afaik, the previous charge was "burglary". This time it's "criminal damage". There's a pile of different charges.

@Ertain food for life

This guy is fucking insane. #USPol https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/apr/16/pete-hegseth-iran-energy-infrastructure

I actually watched the video of this Kegsbreath presser. Motherfucker needs to go. #USpol “Pete Hegseth didn’t just miss a detail or fumble a citation. He stood at the Pentagon, in a room that should carry the full, unbearable weight of human consequence, and delivered a prayer built on a lie, a line lifted straight out of Pulp Fiction, written by Quentin Tarantino, performed by Samuel L. Jackson, and passed it off as the word of God.” - Michael Jochum https://substack.com/home/post/p-194411946

"The pope has shown the world how to stand up to Trump""Clearly, Leo rejects appeasement as an antidote to coercion & hate":Jesus "does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war... 'Even though you make many prayers, I will not listen: Your hands are full of blood.’”Unlike sychophantic leaders who stroked Trump’s ego, Leo resisted.Like every bully, Trump takes keen pleasure in satisfying his narcissistic hunger for dominance.https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2026/4/16/the-pope-has-shown-the-world-how-to-stand-up-to-trump#USPol #IranWar #EUPol #Pope .

@jalefkowit he probably wasted the scrotum.

The last straw: MAGA bailing on Trump out of anger and 'self preservation'https://www.alternet.org/maga-trump-anger/#MAGA #TrumpIsDone #USPol

@carrideen Jeb's great legacy. His one gift to the world

@Twelvebarblues What I think is that every country has a problem that has no solution. Those in office only care about themselves.We experiencing same here in Nigeria.

American politicians are writing checks with their mouths that their asses will not be able to cash."Tell the Pope to be careful", ffsThese prep school wannabes act like Mafia bosses, and they are getting people killed #usPol

@liztai There are other news sources, too, ya know.
