It takes SIXTEEN paragraphs for the New York Times to mention why the administration wanted to destroy nearly $10 million in contraception:
It's because they claim the stockpile of IUDs, birth control pills, and hormonal implants are “abortifacient birth control.”

Honestly: these people are pissing away our wealth, pissing away our power, and using what wealth they don't piss away to line their own pockets.
Relative to what they're earning, tribunals might be the kindest option.
One point of maintaining a diplomatic corps — and not shredding it to give a billionaire’s 23-year-old acolytes some jollies — is having people able to say who “the right Iranian officials” are on the payroll, a call away.
(*nods, shrugs*)
Well, let’s not have a cow. It’s not as if there’s, like, a global energy shortage taking shape.
Never let yourself feel imposter syndrome again. You — yes, you — could handle U.S. diplomacy better than these fools.
These people are going to retroactively justify Obama's Nobel Peace Prize by leaving us, _and_ the world, worse off than if they'd just shut up and stuck with the JCPOA.
Pete Hegseth, everybody: somehow of even lower moral character than the "we're not _technically_ a gambling firm" people.
My "We don't allow bets on assassinations and murder" ad campaign has people asking a lot of questions already answered by the ad campaign
New: The White House is signaling that reopening the Strait of Hormuz is not a must-have to end the Iran War, potentially setting the stage for Iran to continue to flex its strategic position over one of the world's busiest oil shipping channels for the foreseeable future
I mean I just can't even find words. The US defense secretary helping plan a massive, destabilizing surprise war - a war the US has immediately LOST - and then using his insider knowledge to make stock bets so he can personally get rich? Hard to think of worse corruption, anywhere, ever.

Karoline Leavitt said reopening the Strait of Hormuz was not a "core objective" of winning the Iran War for President Trump.

“.. A broker for Pete Hegseth, the US defence secretary, attempted to make a big investment in major defence companies in the weeks leading up to the US-Israeli attack on Iran, according to three people familiar with the matter.”

Can they transfer us to the right department. 🤡
The mere existence of this sentence in the chyron is evidence of a staggering level of incompetence, stupidity and failure. You talk to the people who control the army and state power ministries. They seem to be playing games going on something they heard from a guy who said who knows a guy.

About 7.5 GW of wind power capacity is stuck in limbo because Trump's gov't won't produce the routine paperwork.
Sure, because he's willing to impoverish Americans after emptying the Treasury to enrich himself, his family and friends.
Of course, he never did the reading and seems unaware of what historically comes next.
Right, this is the other thing. After twice using negotiations as a ruse before targeted assassinations, Trump et al. have taught “the right people” that taking our calls might lead to them meeting a Reaper.
Nice job, amateurs! Gold star, you dummies.
Administration officials assess that forcing the waterway back open would mean extending the military mission
