Here’s the news from Iran – Donald Trump is making America lose wars again | Simon Tisdall Humiliating failure now looms, as symbolically damaging to US global standing and national self-esteem as Afghanistan or Iraq, says Guardian foreign affairs commentator Simon Tisdall

‘Failing, flailing Trump’ is now a danger to the whole world.

Brilliant piece, Simon Tisdall, who excoriates Trump and Netanyahu for blatant war crimes and vast incompetence, which is making not just the Middle East, but the whole world more unstable.

This is a case where multiple ex-SDNY U.S. Attorneys suspected that Trump's White House tried to kill the case.

It began when @preetbharara.bsky.social charged Turkish-Iranian gold trader Reza Zarrab with spearheading the scheme.

Rudy Giuliani repped Zarrab and tried to execute a prisoner swap.

Syrian Kurds warned their Iranian counterparts not to align with the U.S., saying Washington will eventually betray them and citing their own experience as proof.

This is what we all said would happen after Trump betrayed our allies across the world. They will not trust us ever again.

These far-right conspiracists are pushing Trump to take control of voting Election deniers are lobbying the president to declare a national emergency.

Guess who's pushing Trump to declare a national emergency & assume control of the 2026 elections? A bunch of far-right conspiracy theorists & election deniers. They failed to convince Trump in 2020 to seize voting machines. Might they succeed this time?

Listening to Ezra Klein (that’s on me) and hearing again how Anthropic is raising Claude to be virtuous like some guy is raising his infant son to be virtuous. Absurd yes but not just on LLM side — as if parenting is anything but a daily lesson in how little is in your control

Trump’s “Warflation” Has Just Begun If he were trying to increase prices on purpose, would he be doing anything differently?

If he were trying to increase prices on purpose, would he be doing anything differently?

If Trump intended to start a war abroad to distract from problems at home he has instead made his domestic problems much worse. Trump’s “warflation” has just begun.

Sometimes you have to start a war, to prevent a war, that's already a war, that's technically not even a war....

It's a dairy free war-like alternative.

Trump Says 'I Guess' Americans Should Worry About Iran Retaliating on U.S. Soil: 'Like I Said, Some People Will Die' In an interview with 'Time,' President Donald Trump acknowledged the possibility that Iran retaliates with attacks on U.S. soil, saying, 'We think about it all the time. We plan for it'

Remember when the spineless maga weasels in Congress said it wasn't a war: "Like I said, some people will die," the president added. "When you go to war, some people will die."

What Does Russia Have on Trump? Americans Deserve an Answer As Russia reportedly shares intelligence with Iran that could endanger American forces, the White House chooses to ease pressure on Moscow instead of confronting it.

Ukraine offers to help defend the West from Iranian drones.

Russia helps Iran track American forces.

And the White House eases sanctions on Russian oil.

Explain that to the families of U.S. troops. My latest:
