Axios: Trump says he must be involved in picking Iran's next leader:
Breaking: First picture of new supreme leader of Iran

Trump just put the only senator without a bachelors degree in charge of homeland security

The Republican brand is #corruption and #incompetence

C’mon, people. Look at your Kremlin style guide. The phrase is “special military operation.” Not all of you are getting this right.

Moskowitz: "Let me congratulate the former Homeland Security Secretary on her appointment to be the Shield of Americas, which I'm pretty sure the president came up with when he watched the last Avengers movie"

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.

But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

Agree 💯% With Senator Mark Kelly.......

🤬🤮

Blumenthal: "I have emerged from classified briefings deeply concerned and very fearful that we're on the precipice not only of an escalating conflict that in region, but also putting troops on the ground b/c that is almost inevitably the path the admin has chosen by its current tactical approach"

The government is against the American people‼️

They are torturing and killing people in our concentration camps, and I wish more people were actively bothered by that

Walz: "There are no Somali folks in the Epstein files"

Kristi Noem Misled Congress About Top Aide’s Role in DHS Contracts Testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Noem denied that Corey Lewandowski had any role in approving contracts. But internal DHS records and interviews with current and former agency staffer...

NEW: When asked if top aide Corey Lewandowski has “a role in approving contracts,” DHS Secretary Kristi Noem replied, “No.”

But internal DHS records contradict her testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

A couple things…

The “conflict“ in Iran *IS* a war.
It is a war of choice.
It is warfare without conscious.
It was unprovoked.

And I’m sick and tired of people suggesting & implying the only tragedies herein are that US Service Members have died. The people of Iran are innocents in this conflict!

Leaders aren’t defined only by how they win, they’re also defined by how they handle loss.

After losing the race for the Democratic primary in Texas Senate race, Jasmine Crockett publicly congratulated James Talarico and pledged to support him.

Strong leaders don’t just compete, they unite.👇

Where are the Epstein Files arrests?
Where are the Epstein Files trials?

Trump administration under fire as thousands of Americans are stranded in war zone U.S. officials — and the president himself — have struggled to explain why the government wasn't better prepared for the consequences of Iranian retaliation.

Americans Support Sending Stephen Miller to Iran A new poll shows overwhelming approval of such a deployment.

Send them all! Get rid of the lot of them! open.substack.com/pub/borowitz...

The least qualified and lowest among us sit in our highest offices.

Horrible people. How any of our military can follow their unlawful orders is a question we all need answered.

I still don’t understand how these rooms are constantly filled with reporters who seem to have no self respect.

Maybe it’s the “don’t be the story” part of the job (I’m not a reporter) but I’d be walking out at an absolute minimum.

And Ukrainians are everything MAGAs are not

Zelenskyy is everything the corrupt criminal is not

This needs a forensic audit.

#FollowTheMoney

WTAF?! They broke the arm of a #Veteran former #Marine! I hope he sues the shit out of these senators!

#War #FuckTrump and his cronies!

GFY

Sounds Like You're On A Crusade,
SQUEAKER Johnson ?.......

Our government doesn’t want to support our democratic ally Ukraine against the hostile invasion by our autocratic arch enemy Russia. But they couldn’t wait to join Israel’s unprovoked attack on Iran.

Have they literally lost all their marbles and American values?
