Dubai is being targeted continuously. It goes far beyond US assets.

Meanwhile, Trump called NBC and said he thinks Iranian leadership has been eliminated. Yet the only source behind this information is Israel. Confirmations needed.

Trump's War The costs could be catastrophic

โ€œDonald J. Trump โ€” has released the dogs of war on one of the most dangerous countries in the world, and done it without the consent of Congress or our allies, or even a clear explanation to the American people.โ€

US and Israel launch a major attack on Iran. Trump urges Iranians to 'take over' The U.S. and Israel have launched a major attack on Iran. President Donald Trump called on the Iranian public to โ€œseize control of your destinyโ€ and rise up against the Islamic leadership.

Why are the US and Israel attacking Iran? What we know so far The attacks come amid negotiations between the US and Iran over the latterโ€™s nuclear and ballistic missiles programmes, after weeks of mounting threats from Trump โ€“ and eight months after the US and Israel waged a 12-day war against Iran.

BREAKING: Dario Amodei and Anthropic refuse to contribute to increased surveillance of citizens.
Every American company should look at Anthropic as a model. Stop caving to Trump. Trump is out of office in under three years and Americans will remember for a lifetime.

I remember when this exact type of denial went on near the end of Nixonโ€™s and Reaganโ€™s second terms. Maybe itโ€™s a positive sign for change to come during the midterm elections. Maybe this โ€œcrookโ€ will do time.

Familiar progression for Trump punishing the naughty children: BREAKING: Trumpโ€™s DOJ has decided to stop pursuing their case against the 6 Democratics who urged members of the military not to comply with unlawful order (2/24/26 Krassenstein). Behavioral conditioning to create a zombie following.

After we send in our doctors, we will sent in our troops to protect them. Then we will send in more troops to maintain law and order. Then we will try to use ethnic cleansing to send away โ€œimmigrantsโ€ once we decide who fits the category. Good luck at doing that.

How can MAGA live with themselves now that Alysa Liu won two gold medals for the USA in figure skating? She is one of 5 children born to a Chinese immigrant single dad. She has said athletes should NOT just stick to sports but should use their platform to champion human rights.

All 50 states must fight voting restrictions in whatever form they are presented. The first agenda item for a Democratic majority Congress is to establish full voting rights and representation for all citizens of US and Puerto Rico, even by overriding a Trump veto if necessary.๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ท
