This Is Not How Democracies Go to War. Itโ€™s How Dictators Do. Donald Trump has said almost nothing to justify going to war against Iran. The real reason may be something he dare not speak of.

The Peace President who craves a Nobel Peace Prize, JUST ATTACKED IRAN. Just Trumpy, not Congress as the law requires. He told Hegcrap to attack Iran and our complicit military folded.

All it takes to debunk the theory that thousands of kids were pushed into gender-affirming surgeries is to talk to literally any trans person who has tried to get gender-affirming care of ANY kind. It's extremely difficult.

Watch this.

19 minutes and $12 to get meds at a public Chinese hospital. Without insurance.

As we slash Medicaid to start unnecessary wars and cut taxes for the rich. ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ

Trump's comments about the UK go to show why you should NEVER try to pander to him. He is a narcissistic psychopath who will expect more and more each time you placate him.

How cringe giving him that fake 2nd state tour looks now. As we all said it would.

Text on image discussing the Dublin Agreement and its implications before and after Brexit. It explains how the agreement allowed the UK to return asylum seekers to other EU countries where they first claimed asylum and notes the changes in policy following Brexit, emphasizing the lack of automatic rights to return individuals. The text concludes with a warning about misconceptions regarding stopping boat crossings.

Trump administration drops effort against law firms after judges find president's orders unconstitutional Numerous judges have ruled against Trump's executive orders targeting certain law firms.

This flew under the radar, but Trump's DOJ has abandoned its legal assault on the law firms that courageously refused to bend the knee to him.

This should serve as a reminder for the firms that sucked up to Trump: appeasing a tyrant will get you nowhere.

The Supreme Court on Monday seemed to lean towards loosening a federal law that bars drug users from owning guns.

Screenshot of an X post by Ron Filipkowski saying, โ€œWe used to have a Congress. Now we have a Netanyahu.โ€ The post quotes Aaron Rupar referencing comments by House Speaker Mike Johnson defending Trumpโ€™s actions toward Iran as defensive. Below is a CNN still showing Mike Johnson speaking to reporters indoors with another man behind him. A banner reads โ€œLAWMAKERS REACT TO BRIEFING ON IRAN WAR.โ€

This painting was dismissed for years. Now a Dutch museum has confirmed it's a genuine Rembrandt Experts used high-tech scans and compared pigments and paint layers with other Rembrandt works.

A painting that was once rejected as a work by Rembrandt van Rijn has now been acknowledged as a work by the Dutch master, thanks to two years of scrutiny in the city where the then-27-year-old artist painted it in 1633, a museum announced Monday.

North Carolina primary could set up Roy Cooper vs Michael Whatley in pivotal Senate race North Carolinaโ€™s U.S. Senate primary will set up a high-stakes race in the fall that could decide control of the chamber.

North Carolina's primary will be the official starting gun for one of the country's most closely watched U.S. Senate campaigns, likely pitting former Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper against former Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Whatley. https://to.pbs.org/3N1eFfZ
