U.S. cities step up security measures amid Iran tensions FBI director Kash Patel instructed federal counterterrorism and intelligence to "mobilize all assisting security assets needed."

The “big picture” here, to use Axios lingo, is that for a year team Trump has destroyed important counter-terror tools and diverted counter-terror personnel to immigration enforcement.
And that Patel, Noem, & Gabbard have no qualifications and are riotously incompetent.

Losing the War on Truth Iran and what to make of it

Trump seems lost as to which lie he wants to tell. We are in a war on truth; but truth can win – if it finds friends.

Russian Businessman Found Dead After Being Named in Epstein Files Umar Dzhabrailov had relationships with Ghislaine Maxwell and Sean “Diddy” Combs.

After being found in the Epstein files, this Russian politician came down with a sudden case of the blues and Epstein’ed himself with a Luger pistol. These new American oligarchs need to pay attention as they may be Epstein’ed, too.

Trump took away Iran's ability to make nukes, and then after that Iran refused to give that ability away. As clear as mud.

Historian Timothy Snyder, on the pedophile führer's diabolical reason for attacking Iran. It has nothing to do with what most people think and everything to do with abolishing American democracy and rigging the 2026 midterm elections. 😳👇

if donald is supposedly eliminating evil ppl. who’s going to do it for us ?

Not true. we’re not dropping the epstein/donald files

billions wasted and blown up but Americans can’t get healthcare or lower grocery prices.

😕

that makes a lot of sense. barron should be in the front lines in the watr that donald started. no one wants another war. it never solves anything. billionaires are the ones who profit from it. Our soldiers die for a futile war and innocent civilians are always caught in the middle

The Northern Lights in Canada are really the most beautiful thing in nature to see in the world.

i agree but i haven’t forgot what she is

i feel so safe 🙄

What's more shocking than ICE's plan to cram as many 8,500 humans into massive, soul-crushing warehouses?

Seeing the actual DHS floor plan that echoes slavery ships and history's worst gulags with no rec space but a gun range for guards
