"Top Trump officials acknowledged to lawmakers during recent classified briefings that they did not plan for the possibility of Iran closing the strait in response to strikes, according to three sources familiar with the closed-door session."
How is this real life? AYFKM
It’s really hard to accept that the United States, home of the most experienced generals, diplomats and political analysts, has entered into a ill-conceived unlawful war in the Middle East just because of some demented, mentally ill, ignorant and immature man.
He’s so cringe
Oh come on. They’re bombing every US base in the region and tankers in the strait.
Here’s my (frighteningly vulnerable!!) follow up on my reporting that exposed a white nationalist active club.
On the professional and personal costs of this work:
BREAKING: The usually snarky White House account has not responded to Iran’s attacks on social media! Thank you for your attention to this matter!
Still no censure of Tommy Tuberville, Randy Fine, or Andy Ogles, who are openly promoting hate against Muslims while the US is bombing Iran, killing the Ayatollah, and people like Lindsey Graham are calling it a "religious war" DURING RAMADAN.
How do you think this all ends, folks?
Still buying Canadian!! 🇨🇦
How can a civilized society ignore the torture of children?
How can good people let toddlers & babies be incarcerated &deprived of clean drinking water?
If you care, do something.
Start by calling Congress & telling friends about this. 202-224-3121

That's how long Trump has been in office his 2nd term.
But the damage this regime is doing ... that, that in incalculable.

It’s almost like Trump planned all this from the very beginning.
Isn't it disheartening - two major wars cannot end because the two brickheads who started them - cannot find a way to somewhat reasonably "declare victory" not to lose face over their stupid decisions.
Trump claims he has solved infertility nationwide and I double dog dare any WH reporter to ask him to define a salpingiogram.
Go on, try it.
87 year old man baby.
I saw a really funny fake one - but my friend thought it was real. It’s hard to know just how dumb people are.
To the "I didn't vote for this" folks. You voted for a convicted felon. A twice-impeached president. A man found liable for sexual abuse, who tried to overthrow an election. And now gas prices are surging, we're at war, and soldiers are coming home in coffins. This is what you voted for. All of it.
Trump keeps talking like he can just flip a switch and walk away from this war.
Meanwhile, retaliation has already started, with cyberattacks hitting U.S. companies.
This will be long-lasting even after the bombing stops.
Great, Dr. Doom is in charge of AI now. What could possibly go wrong? 🙄

$11 billion spent in just six days of war.
$38 trillion in debt.

Iran's Supreme National Security Council Secretary Ali Larijani to Trump:
It’s the casual, deadly evil of this that absolutely turns my stomach.
I just really don't like men right now very much. I'm having really bad experiences with them at the moment. They can all just fuck right the fuck off.
posts u make when things r definitely going well
Leavitt: "The overall mission in this operation is to ensure that Iran can never again possess a nuclear weapon. That was the real imminent threat that was posed by Iran." (Iran never had a nuclear weapon!)
Two oil tankers have been hit by Iran in the strait of Hormuz.
Somehow I don’t think “unconditional surrender” is in the offing.
