JUST IN: A federal judge has barred Gov DeSantis from designating CAIR as a terrorist organization and punish those who associate with the group.

β€œOnce again, Florida chooses political posturing over the First Amendment,” Judge Walker writes.

You have to be really stupid to think Iran was going to attack the United States. Israel attacked Iran knowing Trump would follow.

Live updates: Trump says U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran could take four to five weeks Six American service members have been killed. Trump doesn’t rule out ground troops to Iran if β€˜necessary.’

U.S. and Israeli strikes have killed 555 people in Iran, according to the Iranian Red Crescent society.

The deadliest attack appears to be the strike on a school where over 150 people β€” many children β€” were killed, according to Iran’s mission to the U.N.

Donald Trump is the greatest threat to our free speech rights

You can’t honor the First Amendment alongside Donald Trump, he has spent his presidency making clear that he does not believe in it. www.mediamatters.org/donald-trump...

What can you even say? These people deserve their inevitable humiliation and the nation deserves journalists with more self-respect.

Iran was never going to attack the US. Unfortunately we live in a country with millions of the dumbest people on the planet who believe otherwise.

From Iran to Venezuela to New York, Trump wants to control the world's oil Forget Saudi Arabia. Trump is making America the world's most dominant petrostate.

This is a war almost 40 years in the making.

Trump said in *1987* that the US should attack "horrible, horrible" Iran, "and take over some of their oil." In the years since, Trump talked about seizing oil from Venezuela, Iraq, Syria, Kuwait, and Libya.

The Google Trends data doesn't lie: Americans have a lot of questions about the strikes in Iran. Rising searches include "why is Trump fighting Iran," "Trump addresses nation" and "did Trump get congressional approval to strike Iran?"

There’s a pretty robust case to make that the Iran Hostage crisis of 1979, the revolution itself, and the policies of the Iranian government towards the US
since, was all blowback from the CIA’s decision to overthrow Mossadegh in 1953. www.cnn.com/2013/08/19/p...

First, it’s a mistake to say that Trump got America into war on Saturday. What he did was respond to a war that Iran has been waging against the United States since 1979.

We are At War now, according to President Bush, and I take him at his word. He also says this War might last for "a very long time."
Generals and military scholars will tell you that eight or 10 years is actually not such a long time in the span of human history - which is no doubt true - but history also tells us that 10 years of martial law and a wartime economy are going to feel like a Lifetime to people who are in their twenties today. The poor bastards of what will forever be known as Generation Z are doomed to be the first generation of Americans who will grow up with a lower standard of living than their parents enjoyed.
That is extremely heavy news, and it will take a while for it to sink in. The 22 babies born in New York City while the World Trade Center burned will never know what they missed. The last half of the 20th century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what's coming now. The party's over, folks.

In case you’re just waking up, the U.S. has teamed up with Israel overnight to start an illegal war of regime change, apparently on a presidential whim with no involvement of Congress, and they are already committing horrific atrocities.
