I feel like the one thing most everyone can agree on is that nothing Trump and Hegseth say can be trusted, from casualty figures to claims that Iran is begging for a negotiation, from the prospective timeline of the war to whether either man gives a shit about the Iranian people

“.. A Gulf official said it could have an impact on anything from investment pledges to foreign states or companies, sports sponsorships, contracts with businesses and investors, or sales of holdings.”

“Fools with power are lethal. Pete Hegseth is so much more than a drunk and a religious crackpot. He is a grade-AAA monkey with a gun. These are dangerous days.”

Hegseth: They don't know what they're up against, and if they think they've got it solved for, they're wrong.

First Draft: 🤬 Is This the Worst-Run War in US History? Trump and his administration are improvising a major conflict in the Middle East, as Democrats keep winning in the 2026 redistricting war that is immensely backfiring on the GOP.

“privately, Trump has voiced extreme unease about how the rising American body count “looks,” and few officials close to him believe he has tolerance for a protracted quagmire, sources with knowledge of the matter tell me” - Swin for Zeteo’s First Draft morning newsletter. Have you subscribed yet?

Rep. Keating is in disbelief as DoD official Elbridge Colby plays dumb about a decision to suspend US weapons shipment *that was made by Colby's office*

New on MS NOW:

The war with Iran is costing the U.S. an estimated $1 billion a day, according to two congressional sources with knowledge of the matter.

Based on that estimate, the U.S. has spent at least $5 billion on the war since it began on Feb. 28.

Spain Scolds Germany’s Merz Over Slight During Talks With Trump Spain’s top diplomat accused German Chancellor Friedrich Merz of failing to show sufficient backing for a European Union partner when US President Donald Trump threatened to halt trade with the Iberian nation over its opposition to the war on Iran.

This is Kim Jong Un-level insanity.

Proving yet again one of my basic rules on navigating Trumpism: He will always replace an incompetent person with someone more incompetent.

ICE taking steps to close detention center at Fort Bliss, document shows Preparations to shutter Camp East Montana in El Paso come less than eight months after facility’s opening, according to an internal ICE document.

This ICE detention center is the largest in the country and has become notorious for rampant physical abuse, medical neglect, and death.

We won't let up the pressure until it's shut down for good.

Ryan to Colby: "In his victory speech, Trump said, 'I'm not going to start a war. I'm going to stop wars.' How can we consider that anything but a straight up betrayal? I think you are lying to the American people about it, I think the VP is lying about it, I think the president is lying about it."

NEW: A judge ordered the US government to refund Trump's illegally collected tariffs.

It was theft in broad daylight.

I'm pushing Donald Trump to give the American people their money back.

AOC: “That’s one reason he must be removed from office - if the Epstein files have such a hold on Trump & this admin that they are willing to plunge us & risk world war in order to save themselves politically - that is the definition of someone who cant make objective decisions for the American ppl”

And yet so many Venezuelan-Americans, especially in South FL, vote Republican because they believed Trump was going to topple the Maduro regime. Like so many other groups, they’ve been scammed by the ultimate con man.

YouTube video by news.com.au US Marine protesting war in Iran forcibly removed from Senate

Sen. Tim Sheehy [R, Montana) broke a Marine’s hand while forcibly trying to remove him from the Senate bc the Marine was speaking out against our Military fighting for Israel.

It's worth noting that Sheely received more than $600, 000 from AIPAC.

Can we please stop pushing this silly narrative that "MAGA is upset about the war in Iran"? You say that like it means MAGA won't keep voting for trump or other MAGA candidates. MAGA is a cult, there is no hope for them, stop the pathetic delusional thoughts that they can be saved.

BREAKING:

A federal trade-court judge ordered the Trump administration to start refunding the more than $130 billion it collected in the global tariffs invalidated by the Supreme Court last month

We have to pay billions so Trump can play with new toys for his viewing pleasure. bsky.app/profile/atru...

So we’re just going to forget all about this and never ask Trump, Leavitt or Hegseth about it again after the first day because this is totally normal so who cares.

When you’re running for governor of Florida, that’s pretty much the end of your campaign.

Thank you for the inclusion in this great pack 🙏🦋💙
