Trump’s War now providing a massive influx of cash for Iran’s ally Russia so they can continue to bomb civilians in Ukraine while we ask Ukraine for help against Iranian drones. Trump’s foreign policy in a nutshell.

Helluva way for the president to refer to dead soldiers — soldiers killed in a war he started.

Renee Good was also shot at point-blank range through her side window by an ICE agent who was in no danger

Alex Pretti wasn’t in a car, but he too was shot at point-blank range by an ICE agent who was in no danger

It seems every time ICE kills someone they lie to cover up shooting innocent people

🧵Feels like shouting into the void, but it is essential to note that the Trump/Rubio gutting of the State Department and blowtorching of US diplomatic capacity and credibility is an accelerant to this spiraling war and will seriously undercut US/allied efforts to pick up the pieces after. 1/

Kristi Noem Misled Congress About Corey Lewandowski’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...

Kristi Noem personally approved all DHS contracts over a certain threshold.

But before the contracts reached her, they had to be approved by political appointees. Lewandowski was typically the last to OK a contract before Noem, DHS officials said.

Yes they do

This is no different from Putin saying MH17 was shot down by Ukraine or Assad saying rebels gassed themselves.

Betting on who's the next suicide, rather than reaching out to help. It tells you all you need to know about these people.

A little bit obsessed with all the nut clusters currently ‘ashamed to be British’ because Starmer didn’t sign us up to this shit show.

Dubai is such an amazing and safe community that it even inspires all its residents to express just how safe it is in *exactly* the same wording. Or should I say safe wording. Because it is, very safe. Totally unrelated, here's someone showing how to make a fool of yourself on social media.

The Ellisons’ new Paramount/Warner Bros mega-media monopoly would never pass muster if America still had antitrust enforcers.

So who can stop this? State attorneys general. Here's how. ⬇️

UK must stockpile food in readiness for climate shocks or war, expert warns Prof Tim Lang says country produces far less food than it needs to feed population and is particularly vulnerable

The UK relies heavily on imports of food. Recent events have shown, in an increasingly volatile world, you can't always count on ships being able to move about.

Some countries are stockpiling food to prepare for climate shocks, the UK should too, says Prof Lang:

BREAKING: Judge rules Kari Lake's appointment was ILLEGAL for many months & a bunch of her actions are void

We & great partners win again!

H/t to my @democracydefendersfund.org colleagues plus AFSCME, AFGE, Emery Celli, Democracy Forward & more. Wow, just wow.

This is the second time today that Trump has intimated the battle is already over. This morning he talked of Iran’s “surrender” to its neighbors. Meanwhile, he’s also talking about expanding the attack.

Karoline Leavitt told us the US State Department was helping Americans stranded in the Middle East.

She lied.

One Texas woman in Dubai called the State Department hotline, was scolded for being scared and then hung up on.

This administration is *full* of incompetent, rude people.

"Some people without brains do an awful lot of talking, don't they?"

Ladies and gentlemen, this is the President of the United States. Happy 250 years of independence. 🤦‍♂️

Trump multiple times just today has said the country is at war. War can only be declared by Congress, and Iran posed no imminent threat. What Trump is doing there is a textbook illegal war and impeachable offense — if we still had a Congress.

Here’s an idea, instead of trying to nationalize elections while lying about what’s in this bill, why don’t you govern responsibly and try to win elections that way? bsky.app/profile/atru...
