BREAKING: ABC News, citing sources: The United States is facing difficulty evacuating its personnel from facilities under bombardment in Iraq
I don’t think unconditional surrender is imminent.
The president is handing out oversized clown shoes to his cabinet — and watching to see who refuses to wear them.
It's Solzhenitsyn's Stalin story come to life: the first person to stop applauding ended up in the gulag. The lesson then, as now — never be the first to stop clapping.
Trump is a titanic fuck up.
Oh just a repercussion of his war that we will pay for.
The US is a lawless gangster nation run by criminal idiots of world historic proportions -
Trump’s pronouncement Steve witcoff - a real estate grifter lackey and his moronic son in law - told him Iran was going to attack him
Is the dumbest reason
In earth history for starting a world war
"He told a colleague, who refused to help him upload the data because of legal concerns, that he expected to receive a presidential pardon if his actions were deemed to be illegal..."

Some folks treated me like a naive child for believing we had the money to cancel a portion of student loan debt
VP of the European Commission Kaja Kallas is clear:
"There is a fundamental reorientation across the Atlantic. These trends point to a new world order, characterized by competition and coercive power politics."
She warned against powers that want to divide the world into spheres of influence.
Seems like it was a bad idea to put a sociopathic megalomaniac in charge of the most powerful military in human history
Another hush money payment.
(🧵) BREAKING NEWS THREAD: Those of you who've been reading PROOF OF DEVILRY—the exhaustive exposé of the Trump-Epstein Scandal—are cheering today.
Congressional questioning confirms my reporting that one way Epstein helped interfere in the 2016 election was illegal in-kind campaign contributions.
Yes.
ICE agents don't get to carve out a First Amendment exception for themselves.
Trump says he doesn't care about Iranian democracy. Of course, he doesn't care about American democracy either.
“'The administration thoughtlessly terminated people with crisis experience, and now they’re left without depth in the bench in the middle of a wide scale and broadening crisis,' said a former official with more than a decade experience in evacuation operations..."

It's just what Trump does.
Iranians Say Trump’s Intervention Brought Destruction, Not Liberation

I still think about this one often.
Look at this photo carefully.
Mikaeil Mirdoraghi. Third grade.
Waving goodbye to his mother before school.
She, and he, thought he'd be coming home.
That school is now rubble.
Mikaeil is gone.
Absolutely heartbreaking.
His name should be remembered.
F*ck the demons who killed him.
If Trump has totally destroyed their navy and all their missile capabilities, as he says, then why can’t ships move through the Strait of Hormuz?
WATCH — @jamestalarico.bsky.social : “Every dollar we spend bombing people in the Middle East is one we’re not spending here at home. We’re always told we don’t have enough money for schools or healthcare or for veterans, but there’s always enough to bomb people on the other side of the world.”
Congress:
Term limit -12 years
(doesn’t need to be consecutive)
Presidents/SCOTUS:

No PAC funding
No Stock trading

It's looking increasingly like these guys thought that if they could wreak more death and destruction than the other side then they would be respected as strong powerful men and they would "win" and that would make them big important heroes. Very possibly they had no rationale deeper than that.
Nothing to see here—just the Trump administration officials who'd oversee an invocation of the Insurrection Act and subsequent martial law declarations moving into military-base housing.
Miller, Bondi, Rubio, Hegseth, the Secretary of the Army and Secretary of the Navy...
Pay no attention to this.
Definitely don't be worried about this unless we get news that the president is secretly constructing a massive bunker under the White House that he could live in long-term and govern America from while literally "covering up" this gambit with a ballroom no one anywhere asked for
Netanyahu has tried for years to get a US president to go along with his desire for a war with Iran. He finally found one. Then he used chemical weapons on Lebanon. This man is committing war crimes and igniting hatred that will start more killings and destruction everywhere.
