Trump’s retribution could impact our intelligence & security.
Host: Just days before a major US operation in Iran, Kash Patel fired a dozen agents from a counterintelligence unit tracking Iranian threats. All had ties to the probe of Trump’s alleged retention of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago.

This is why we are in Iran. This is why he attacked Venezuela. This is why he is threatening Cuba.

All of his foolishness is a distraction. Release the Epstein Files!

Trump has repeatedly said Republicans would β€œnever lose a race. For 50 years, we won’t lose a race.” The fact that he would try to unilaterally (and unconstitutionally) put policies in place which he has explicitly stated would benefit his party is a clear sign to all Americans (including judges) that any EO including such a policy is not about election integrity at all but instead about election manipulation.
His last attempt to take over elections in 2025 failed when a federal judge said, β€œOur Constitution entrusts Congress and the Statesβ€”not the Presidentβ€”with the authority to regulate federal elections,” and β€œ[N]o statutory delegation of authority to the Executive Branch permits the President to short-circuit Congress’s deliberative process by executive order.”
No judge is going to side with him on this. Elections carried on without presidential intervention during the Civil War, both world wars, and all of the more recent military action in the Middle East. Even in 2020 when we were under a real national emergency of COVID, states still carried out elections unimpeded.
And on top of that, any attempt by Trump or the executive branch to rewrite election administration and voting laws (for more than 10,000 election jurisdictions across the country) in response to alleged foreign interference would be unprecedented, illegal, and a clear attempt to create chaos and prevent American citizens from exercising their constitutional right to vote.

Folks are terrified yam tits will "cancel the elections". And while he IS actively doing everything in his power to do that, he simply has no way to accomplish it. He can declare all the wars he wants, but we had elections through the Civil War, the Revolution, 2 World Wars, Vietnam, Korea, etc.

Americans are stranded right now because the administration launched military strikes WITHOUT a civilian evacuation plan in place first. Rubio confirmed it live. No plan before the bombs. No exit after. Just Americans left to figure it out.

Hillary Clinton: This institutional failure is designed to protect 1 political party & one public official, rather than to seek truth & justice for the victims & survivors.

All they do is bullshit, create chaos, & start wars.

This is the answer, friends.

Build your community networks if you haven't already.

Make sure to keep an eye for the people who are struggling but afraid or embarrassed to ask for help.

Community is how we survive this.

How Putin is feeding Iran the blueprint for its most devastating attacks

Tehran has launched more than 1,000 Shahed 136 drones at targets ranging from a landmark Dubai hotel to Britain’s RAF Akrotiri base in Cyprus

Photo caption: According to one estimate, Iran has amassed a stockpile of as many as 80,000 drones ready to use against targets across the Persian Gulf (Photo: Morteza Nikoubazl/NurPhoto/Getty)

Iran is using technical and tactical feedback provided by the Kremlin from the Ukraine war to maximise the strike rate of the drones it is using to cause havoc across the Middle East in response to US-led bombing raids.

Iran has launched more than 1,000 Shahed 136 drones at targets ranging from a landmark Dubai hotel and housing in Qatar to Britain’s RAF Akrotiri base in Cyprus as Tehran seeks to widen the conflict by striking at multiple targets in US-allied Gulf states and beyond.

‼️ Iran’s bombardment of its Gulf neighbours has copied a technique developed by Russia of combining the use of hundreds of Shahed drones with a smaller number of ballistic missiles to maximise aerial damage.
