I expected the cuts would be bad but I'm honestly stunned and sickened seeing how many great journalists the Washington Post just lost. People who nailed huge investigations, documented war zones, exposed horrific crimes, dropped all at once for failures they did not cause.

I'm probably naΓ―ve, but I hope everyone who has ever had military family members is praying that Congress steps in and puts road blocks on further expansion of this ill-advised attack.

I prefer non-lethal distractions from the tRUMPSTEIN Files like renaming the Gulf of Mexico, making Canada the 51st state & buying Greenland. Sure it was hugely offensive to longtime friends & allies, but at least no one died.

Trump 2.0:

-Bombed Iran (twice), Venezuela, and Yemen
-Allowed Israel to repeatedly violate a ceasefire and kill civilians
-Ripped healthcare and SNAP away from millions
-Deployed masked ICE agents to terrorize American cities

The "Peace President."

Three United States service people have been killed (so far).

The death count for the Epstein Coverup keeps growing.

This is Benjamin Netanyahu's son Yair. While working class American service people are dying in the gratuitous war his father and Donald Trump started, Yair is poolside in Miami chilling.

No word on where Donald Trump's children were, just that they were 100% *not* wearing a uniform.

Will Iranians Rise Up? Here Are the Odds. Iranians despised the Ayatollah. That doesn’t mean they’ll side with the United States.

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.

We mustn’t let this war do so.

Community members, public officials push back against ICE expansion into metro Detroit - WDET 101.9 FM The Southfield office and planned detention center in Romulus come as the Trump administration massively increases the budget for ICE.

β€œCut the utilities, condemn the building, demo it, take it under eminent domain, whatever you can do. Make it impossible for them to use our neighborhood for a concentration camp,” he said.

β€œThis will not be solved by a harshly worded letter or resolution. We need action.”

U.S. cities step up security measures amid Iran tensions FBI director Kash Patel instructed federal counterterrorism and intelligence to "mobilize all assisting security assets needed."

The β€œbig picture” here, to use Axios lingo, is that for a year team Trump has destroyed important counter-terror tools and diverted counter-terror personnel to immigration enforcement.
And that Patel, Noem, & Gabbard have no qualifications and are riotously incompetent.
