Anthony Blinken says Israel tried to pressure Obama to bomb Iran, warning they’d do it with or without the U.S. Obama refused. Trump caved to the same tactic. Also worth noting: Obama’s name doesn’t appear in the Epstein tapes.
Voting to give Trump’s military more money makes Congress like those parents who buy guns for their clearly disturbed teen.
But I’m sure someone who doesn’t read the daily briefs can trust his gut to just bomb freely all over the globe with no unintended consequences.
Trump keeps acting like predecessors didn’t do things because they lacked spine when the actual reason is they had brains.
Instagram is filled with airport nightmares. It’s just one self inflicted wound after another.
All of our living presidents who still have a sense of decency gathered to honor Rev. Jesse Jackson.
Respect recognizes respect.
Not nearly enough consideration of the threat atmosphere when it comes to survivors telling their stories.
Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"
Ben Stiller is calling out the White House after it used a clip from Tropic Thunder in a video promoting the Iran war.
“We never gave you permission and have no interest in being part of your propaganda machine. War is not a movie,” Stiller wrote.
We can throw another $500,000,000,000 at the Pentagon this year and spend $1,000,000,000/day on a wholly useless war, but we can't afford to hire doctors and nurses to take care of our veterans? The United States is such an irresponsible, messed up country right now.
Americans stranded in the Middle East say the State Department hotline Marco Rubio told them to call plays a recorded message warning: “Please do not rely on the U.S. government for assisted departure or evacuation at this time.”
The Dow is now WAY below 50,000. Release all the Epstein files, Pam.
They claim to have been planning this for months, to allegedly keep Americans safe, but had no plan to evacuate any Americans from the region because it happened too quickly.
Weird.
Seems like the media should at least express some curiosity about this.

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.
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

Susie Wiles is wearing an Apple Watch during a highly classified meeting on Iran.
Unreal.
Sometimes the timeline does the work.
How many scenarios for what could happen after an Iranian decapitation attack did Trump ignore because they were prepared under Biden or they were downers or they had too many words and not enough pictures?
What hope is there of Republicans applying the lessons of US/Middle East history if Democrats won't either?
This is so deeply corrupt

Struck a deal to contain Iran's nuclear program forever.
Didn't go to war in Iran.
DID IT ALL IN A TAN SUIT.

Now you know why we are where we are today. Last year, he said we destroyed Iran's nuclear capabilities. That was another lie.
A PSA from Thomas Massie:
But they said he was “The peace president.” 🥴
The FBI being on high alert for terrorist actions is important right now.
Too bad they fired and gutted their counterterrorism capacity
So the administration is purging anyone who reported to Mark Milley while employing those that partied with Jeffrey Epstein.
