Trump vies for Bush’s crown for worst foreign policy decision in history The US president upended half a century of US foreign policy in an eight-minute video with another attempt at Middle Eastern regime change

Without doubt getting shades of Bush in 2003. I also do not think that the current decision is all about taking the spotlight off the Epstein files. That is some of it for sure but the Neocons want control of this region. This is an over determined nightmare.

A world on edge as Trump bombs Iran and triggers war in the Middle East. There was no need for this | Simon Tisdall We cannot know where this foolish, reckless attack will end – but new hatreds will be seeded, terrorist vendettas sown and, ultimately, little will be achieved, says Guardian foreign affairs commentat...

β€œOnce again, blatant lies & exaggerated claims are being propagated to justify the attack…international law & public opinion were ignored. Democratic consent is lacking. And once again, there are few defined goals by which to gauge success, & no long-term plan.”

The U.S. Senate must be clear: no war with Iran.

Today’s military strikes on Iran β€” carried out by the United States and Israel β€” mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war.

Supreme Court strikes down most of Trump's tariffs in a major blow to the president The decision does not affect all of Trump's tariffs but invalidates those implemented using an emergency law.

John Roberts believes that Trump should be able to do whatever he wants, unless it impacts big business.

But hey, I'll take the win. Fuck Trump and fuck the tariffs.

The government must now protect protest rights and make sure counter-terror laws are not misused.

Amnesty will continue working to ensure the Government respects both the spirit and the letter of today’s ruling.

Orwell wrote in 1984: The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

To which we add, in case it was not crystal clear: Not asking a question does not mean there isn't an answer. It likely means the answer is one that you do not want.

Trump just backed off on using military force to take Greenland. What does it mean? | CNN Politics President Donald Trump’s quest for control of Greenland took a significant turn on Wednesday, when he backed off on using d military force β€” an option he and This team had previously reserved.

Trump has backed off from using force in Greenland, β€œat least for now.” Still, the β€œclash is hardly over. Trump insulted or threatened many of those world leaders on Wednesday, and his tariffs and other forms of leverage still loom large.”

While Trump threatens to invoke the Insurrection Act against protesters in Minneapolis, "Minnesota state and local leaders have called for federal immigration agents to leave the city, arguing they’re exacerbating tensions on the ground."

The right to protest is a Constitutionally protected right.
