CIA agents successfully executed a plan for regime change in Iran in 1953 โ€“ but Trump hasnโ€™t revealed any signs of a plan A covert US campaign in the mid-20th century helped steer Iran toward the intense anti-American sentiment that has distinguished its government policy for decades.

The last time the U.S. helped overthrow Iranโ€™s was with a covert CIA operation in 1953. Carefully planned, coordinated and strategic.

Whereโ€™s Trumpโ€™s plan?

Is This the Year Texas Goes Blue? The signs are familiar: an unpopular Republican president, well-funded Democrats and anecdotes of disaffected G.O.P. and independent voters.

No Democrat has won a statewide election in Texas since 1994. In fact, only one major statewide race has even been close this century โ€” when Beto Oโ€™Rourke came within three points of knocking out Senator Ted Cruz in 2018.

The U.S. media goes to war on Iran The U.S. media is predictably spreading government propaganda and ignoring Israelโ€™s role as it cheers on the war against Iran and pushes for regime change.

Opinion: The SAVE Act would disenfranchise incarcerated residents For D.C. residents in prison, voting is one of the last connections we have to our communities.

Two bills making their way through Congress "would functionally eliminate the ability of incarcerated D.C. residents to participate in the democratic process โ€” despite the 2020 law that explicitly grants them that right," Robert Barton of More Than Our Crimes writes in this opinion piece:

House Democrats introduce alternative war powers resolution The gambit shows an interest from many Democrats to rebuff Trump โ€” but protect the homeland. Half a dozen moderate House Democrats have introduced their own war powers resolution as the chamber barrels towards a floor vote later this week on a bipartisan measure to curb President Donald Trumpโ€™s use of force in Iran. Itโ€™s a sign of how some Democrats are struggling to reconcile their opposition to the Trump administrationโ€™s military action with a desire to appear hawkish on national security โ€” even in a largely symbolic capacity. The new proposed resolution from the six lawmakers would call for an end to military operations in Iran within 30 days unless Congress provides authorization for use of military force or a declaration of war. In contrast, the resolution that is being forced for consideration Thursday from Reps. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) and Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) would require the immediate withdrawal of troops from Iran. The co-sponsors of the alternative resolution are Democratic Reps. Josh Gottheimer of New Jersey, Greg Landsman of Ohio, Henry Cuellar of Texas and Jared Golden of Maine, alongside Reps. Jim Costa and Jimmy Panetta of California. The Massie-Khanna resolution has little chance of becoming law, even if it makes it through the House โ€” which is no guarantee. Still, thereโ€™s pressure on Democrats to take a unified stance in support of the bipartisan proposal and against the Trump administrationโ€™s actions, with Democratic leadership and ranking members of key committees urging a โ€œyesโ€ vote to rein in the president. Asked about the new war powers resolution from members of his caucus, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries during a Tuesday news conference said he had not yet seen the legislative text. โ€œOur focus is on the resolution that will be on the floor this week,โ€ the New York Democrat said. Jeffries also said House Democrats will discuss the matter Wednesday afternoon, following an all-member House briefing scheduled for Tuesday evening with Trump administration officials on the unfolding situation in Iran. โ€œWeโ€™ll continue to make the strongest possible case,โ€ Jeffries said. โ€œThere is going to be very strong Democratic support for the War Powers Resolution across the ideological spectrum.โ€ Bipartisan members of the Problem Solvers Caucus, of which Gottheimer is a co-chair, have discussed the matter during their own meetings in recent days. Many have shared concerns that the Massie-Khanna resolution is overly broad and would hamstring the administration regarding key national security efforts, according to three people with direct knowledge of the matter.

Could the press please, finally, learn this lesson:

Everything these people said about Afghanistan, Iraq, the Middle East, starting new warsโ€”all of itโ€”was false. Not because they meant the opposite, but because they're post-truth and say whatever they think gets them an advantage in the moment.
