The truth is this war has been a failure of historic proportions. They don’t want Americans to know that. But we will never stop covering it honestly and with the critical lens that something this serious deserves.

Brendan Carr is threatening the media to cover the war the way the Trump regime wants. It’s one of the most anti-American messages ever posted by a government official.

The biggest thing that is giving me hope right now is that pretty much everyone with a functioning brain can see that the emperor is naked.

He’s even losing some of his previously hardcore MAGA supporters, surprisingly.

The GOP is absolutely panicking about the midterms, and they should be.

Everyone knows our offensive capabilities are unrivaled. No surprises there.

One thing that worries me is that we’ve failed to learn the lessons from Ukraine.

Warfare has changed, and we’re behind the eight ball. We should have been pouring money into counter-drone technology.

Iran may be activating sleeper cells outside the country, alert says The U.S. has intercepted encrypted communications believed to have originated in Iran that may serve as “an operational trigger” for “sleeper assets."

“The U.S. has intercepted encrypted communications believed to have originated in Iran that may serve as "an operational trigger" for "sleeper assets" according to alert sent to law enforcement agencies.”

I was called an alarmist when I mentioned sleeper cells. 🤷‍♂️

He’s going to declare victory and leave.

This is why the US engaging in a regime change operation is almost always a bad idea, but particularly under this administration.

Taking his ball and going home now will create another insurgency in the Middle East.

Completely undeterred by facts. Pretty impressive, really.

We’ve known we bombed the school for over a week. The military confirmed it today, and they’re still arguing

“Not Ready for Prime Time.” A Federal Tool to Check Voter Citizenship Keeps Making Mistakes. The Department of Homeland Security pushed out the revamped tool while it was still adding data. That led to widespread misidentification, particularly for citizens born outside the U.S.

A federal tool to identify noncitizens on voter rolls keeps making mistakes.

“This is not ready for prime time,” a county clerk in Missouri said. “And I’m not going to risk the security and the constitutional rights of my voters for bad data.”

everything totally fucking sucks right now.

the president is a demented fascist. he’s wasting billions of dollars on an illegal war. masked and armed government thugs have invaded the streets of our cities. gas is unaffordable. food is unaffordable. Congress is useless. the press is useless. Republicans are trying to fuck with our system of free and fair elections.

ugh.

but at least we can take schadenfreudian pleasure in the fact that Marco Rubio’s feet are killing him.

why is Liddle Marco hobbling around in pain? because Dear Leader is making him wear shoes that don’t fit, and he’s too chickenshit to take them off.

I wish I were making this up.

get a load of this clownfuckery: Mad King Donny is making his flunkies wear the exact same shitty shoes as he does, and they're too afraid to say no. I mock the shit out of all of it, in a tremendous post like few thought possible. 'sir!' they say, 'how do you words?' link is here: bit.ly/4deDUG7

U.S. at Fault in Strike on School in Iran, Preliminary Inquiry Says

Since Trump began his war with Iran, gas prices have soared all across the country.

This is not a red state or blue state issue. Costs are going up for millions of Americans.

Graphic of Rep. McClellan’s 100% score on the 2025 LCV Scorecard and a 100% lifetime score.

I’m proud to earn a 100% score on the @lcv.org’s 2025 #LCVScorecard and a 100% lifetime score.

As Congressional Republicans roll back clean energy progress and environmental protections, I keep fighting for our children, our economy and our communities to build a cleaner, healthier future.

Pentagon bars press photographers over ‘unflattering’ Hegseth photos Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s staff took issue with photos taken in a rare briefing last week and decided to shut out press photographers from two subsequent news conferences.

The Defense Department has barred press photographers from briefings on the Iran war after they published photos of Pete Hegseth that his staff deemed "unflattering," according to two people familiar with the decision who spoke on the condition of anonymity out of fear of retaliation.

Trump's rushing to Kentucky today. He’s not there to honor the soldier from KY lost in his foolish war, nor address Kentuckians concerns on affordability. He’s there to help primary a Republican who pushed for the Epstein Files’ release.

This presser is fucking insane.

Trump threatened to target Iranian electricity production and “hit them so hard that nobody can ever rebuild in that location”

That’s not a thing. Even if we nuked them.

He also said we’re bombing Iran to help China. Batshit crazy.

Tweet from @RepOgles: "Muslims don't belong in American society. Pluralism is a lie."

Disgusting is not a strong enough word to describe how absolutely vile this is.

This rhetoric is un-American and has no place in this country.

What do they all have in common?

They've all spoken out about Ticketmaster ripping off fans.

But Trump just gave Ticketmaster the equivalent of a corporate pardon.

It's a betrayal of every fan in America.

GOP group targets Black voters with mailer comparing Virginia redistricting to Jim Crow The Virginia Legislative Black Caucus endorsed the redistricting effort Monday and condemned the imagery in the mailer.

NEW: A GOP-tied group targeted Black Virginians with manipulative mailers on the state’s redistricting special election, claiming “Just like Jim Crow, [Democrats] want to silence your voice.”

While it provided no detailed information on the measure, it did depict Ku Klux Klan imagery.
