It’s crystal clear now that Trump has lost control of this war. He badly misjudged Iran’s ability to retaliate. The region is on fire.
1/ I’m going to explain to you in this🧵what I’ve learned - in part from closed door briefings - about the four biggest current crises.
Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner is raising $5 Billion from foreign governments WHILE WORKING AS TRUMP’S ENVOY IN THE MIDDLE EAST ‼️
Staggering corruption. Where are all the Hunter Biden hunters?🤔@MarshaBlackburn @RepOgles @timburchett @SenatorHagerty

On this day in 1835, Missouri enacted a law requiring free Black residents to obtain a license to remain in the state. Those who did not faced fines, imprisonment, and expulsion from Missouri.
The case of Khalil, who was detained last March, sits at the vanguard of a battle of immigrants' due process and civil rights, and the Trump administration's mass detention and deportation policies.
Americans are dying so that Kushner can make money
Mentally competent patients typically have the right to choose their medical care — or refuse it. But there is one notable exception: pregnant patients. That inconsistency is particularly striking in Florida. Read this story by @amyyurkanin.bsky.social 👇
TRUMP: “Drain the swamp!”
REALITY: The Swamp has never been more full. He is the Swampiest Swamp Monster who ever did Swamp.

This is absolutely bonkers and infuriating.
Must-read reporting by ProPublica.
“Like I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die.”
That’s what the President of the United States is saying to the American people.
He won’t be hurt by a retaliatory attack or high gas prices. But you will — and that’s a sacrifice he’s willing to make.
Of course, Kristi Noem deserved to be fired. But rather than spend energy celebrating this Trump setback, let's recognize that the disaster of today’s DHS runs much deeper than the (former) Secretary's incompetence - and keep stepping up the political pressure.
Horrifying. Jesus Lord in heaven.
Ted Lieu to Kristi Noem: “I just showed you a video with ICE officers at a school drop-off location — your refusal to commit to stopping these operations at or near schools & drop-off locations is why you're failing — so I'm going to show you this video that encapsulates why you're failing”
Two days into the war:
- three F-15s shot down
- U.S. embassy in Saudi Arabia in flames
- six U.S. service members confirmed dead; more wounded
- State Department tells Americans to flee the entire Middle East
Hillary Clinton goes off on Republicans after it’s revealed unauthorized images of her were released: I'm done with this. If you guys are doing that, I am done. You can hold me in contempt from now until the cows come home. This is just typical behavior.
Where have the US and Israel hit Iran?
Several of the locations targeted by US and Israeli strikes are near important sites in Iran, including nuclear and oil industry installations.

Why the F is Kushner involved in these high level meetings with Ukraine, Russia, and Iran?

Still no due process. The Trump Administration and Pete Kegseth murdered people.

Remembering the life and legacy of Jesse Jackson. RIP
Today, we mourn the loss of Rev. Jesse Jackson, a titan of the Civil Rights Movement. Jackson’s tireless work and leadership lives on in the millions he inspired to continue his legacy of making our country a more just place for all. Rest in peace.
Linda Davis, a K-8 teacher in Savannah, Georgia, was killed in a car crash by a man fleeing ICE
Local authorities said they were unaware of any ICE operations in the area. "We have a no chase policy," a county chairman said

Trump: “The Democrats refuse to vote for Voter I.D., or Citizenship. The reason is very simple — They want to continue to cheat in Elections. This was not what our Founders desired … There will be Voter I.D. for the Midterm Elections, whether approved by Congress or not!“
The president is overruling science to eliminate measures that protect us from pollution and environmental damage, mainly to benefit multinational corporations that have thrown money at his campaign, ballroom, and family.
It's simple corruption, and it will cost American lives and livelihoods.
Congressmen Jamie Raskin said today that. Trump is mentioned in the totality of the Epstein files 1 million times - not a typo
WATCH — @warnock.senate.gov: “They are seizing ballots, gunning down ordinary citizens, arresting journalists. All the alarm bells 🚨 are blaring. The question is, are we listening?”
WATCH: “This wasn’t a dog whistle.”
Progressive Caucus members @votegloriaj.bsky.social & @justinjpearson.bsky.social react to Trump’s “mask-off” racist Obamas-as-apes post — Gloria wore an “eat racists” pin and said she’ll always speak up and “be on the right side of history”
“Collection of Handwritten Letters from Children in Detention Center” sounds like an exhibit in the Holocaust Museum.
Breaking MS NOW:
Some of the Epstein docs the DOJ invited members of Congress to view are STILL redacted, despite promises otherwise.
Raskin says DOJ's reading room has just four computers. It would take seven years to get through the files in the current conditions established by the DOJ.
In ICE detention camps, “disease and illness are rampant, mold grows on the walls, and detained individuals are denied sufficient food, clean drinking water, proper medical care, and disability accommodations”.
ICE is a scourge of humanity, and also of public health.
there has been a repeated and calculated effort to not only go after Black activists and journalists but also to go to extreme lengths to try to rob them of their dignity and create racialized propaganda. this is vile, vicious stuff and it needs to be called out directly
