Early intel assessment says Iran's nuclear program was only set back 'a few months' President Trump has said U.S. strikes on Iran obliterated the country's nuclear program. An early intelligence assessment finds the strikes may only have set it back "a few months."

When I tell people it's obvious Trump is trying to create a fascist dictatorship, they grow quiet and uncomfortable. They don't argue with me because they know it's true. Even so, they hate hearing it. Because it makes them feel helpless. But we're not helpless. Get active now, while you can.

We Better Pray That No Unexpected Crisis Hits While Trump Is President It’s a world exploding with crises waiting to happen. Donald Trump has made us less prepared for every one of them.

Very timely warning from @djrothkopf.bsky.social that the "lobotomization" of US government’s national security brain and nervous system leaves America far more exposed and in danger when - not if - the next national security crisis hits, which is now btw. newrepublic.com/article/1968...

The anti-vaxx movement was based on a proven lie- the bribery of Andrew Wakefield. Read β€œAutism’s False Prophet.” And fire RoFiKeJr now.

What happens when Trump acts on things he never campaigned for? From hinting at U.S. involvement in the Iran-Israel conflict to storming out of the G7, we’re unpacking the political fallout.

Join us on Coffee with the Contrarians at 9:15am ET with special guests Ilan Goldenberg and Ben Wikler.

Like Nazi-ally Lindbergh, today's "America Firsters" claim to be peaceniks. They are actually pro-dictatorship and pro-international disorder. That is evinced in the incoherent/contradictory responses of Trump and his cronies to the events in the Middle East.

The contrasting images of a DC ghost town/military parade and 1800 American cities and towns with well-attended protests is going to drive Trump batty.

Freedom means not arresting labor leaders for advocating for workers, or Senators for doing their jobs.

House Republicans Turn On One Another Over Bill That Would Help New Moms GOP Rep. Anna Paulina Luna worked with Democrats to bypass party leaders and force a vote on her bill to let new parents vote by proxy.

A stunning defeat for House GOP leaders + the Freedom Caucus a bit ago.

They failed to kill a bipartisan bill to help new moms in Congress. Now the House has to vote on it within 2 legislative days.

Mike Johnson just canceled all votes for the rest of the week. www.huffpost.com/entry/anna-p...

The Real Cost Of DOGE: Musk’s Government Cuts Creating Massive New Expenses Imagine you had pretty much unlimited power over the government and wanted to save taxpayers’ money. You could: Carefully study government operations to understand what works and what doesn’t…

Wrote a bit about how DOGE is running around saying it's "saving" taxpayers all kinds of money through made up numbers and lies... when the reality is that it's likely to cost taxpayers a ton.

"This is the United States government, at the highest levels, reveling in its abuse of immigrants, flexing its willingness to dispense humiliation and apply violence, and sending a clear message it will defy our country’s laws and judges when it pleases."
