The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled.
A truly extraordinary moment.
We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.
Act like it.

Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.
"All these costs were completely voluntary. No one was asking for this war. There was no immediate threat...Just to put these numbers in perspective, DOGE managed to trim...$19 billion from the federal budget. The Iran war has already swamped those savings." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

Outdated intelligence data may have led to a U.S. airstrike hitting a girls’ school in southern Iran following the start of the military operation against the Middle Eastern country, killing around 175 people, according to multiple outlets.

No shit.
Here in our state, people really do stand up for one another.
Whether it’s neighbors, friends, or the local officials of Kankakee County, they’ve stepped up to help each other out.
Proud to see in these moments that we are truly one Illinois.
Crocuses.
State of the art portable entertainment system spotted in Antwerp.
This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat
We must get big money out of politics. It’s the root of all evil in Washington.

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.
I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.
1/ Here's what I can share:
No brainer
The whole lot of them are amoral, self-dealing cretins
I wonder what percentage of Americans knows that the CIA helped overthrow a democracy in Iran in 1953, installing a brutal dictator who tortured and murdered people. Republicans keep citing the 1979 Islamic Revolution as if that was the start of U.S.-Iran hostilities. Go back 26 years earlier.
Trump says he won’t sign any other bills until the SAVE Act is passed, which requires voters to show proof of citizenship with expensive documents like passports.
Reminder: noncitizen voting is already illegal and incredibly rare. This is about voter suppression, plain and simple.
love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region
So far the war on Iran has cost $9.4 billion.
That's $1 billion per day.
$41,666,667 per hour.
$11,574 per second.
Thousands of lives lost.
People don't want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.
the president has no idea what he has set in motion. none.

Bad Feminist is this month’s selection for Dua Lipa’s book club. It’s really neat given that the book is nearly 12. A tween! The number of randos who have written me asking me to connect them to Dua Lipa is so alarming. I don’t know her!
The Ellisons’ new Paramount/Warner Bros mega-media monopoly would never pass muster if America still had antitrust enforcers.

They've now killed four people -- three U.S. citizens and a Mexican national. They've shot several more.
They've lied about all of them. They haven't shaded the truth. They haven't "misled" us. They've brazenly, knowingly lied while in possession of the evidence disproving their lies.
