In first, CIA acknowledges 1953 coup it backed to overthrow leader of Iran was undemocratic While other American officials have made similar remarks in the past, the acknowledgment by the CIA in a podcast about the agency’s history comes as much of its official history of the coup still rema...

I wonder what percentage of Americans knows that the CIA helped overthrow a democracy in Iran in 1953, installing a brutal dictator who tortured and murdered people. Republicans keep citing the 1979 Islamic Revolution as if that was the start of U.S.-Iran hostilities. Go back 26 years earlier.

Bellingcat: New video footage shows US Tomahawk missile hitting an IRGC facility in Minab, Iran, on Feb 28, showing for the first time that the US struck the area. The footage released by Mehr News, and geolocated by Bellingcat, also shows smoke already rising from the vicinity of the girls’ school.

Lindsey is particularly blood thirsty for wars he won't be fighting or sending his kids to fight. It's all just a fun game of talking tough by a small man.

So much moss! #iseemoss

that the Trump administration is trying to shut down a leading AI company because it’s unwilling to develop autonomous murder systems is terrifying, and should be of grave concern to everyone in the world

Fox showed footage of Biden looking at his watch 10 million times for months, but airs old footage of Trump rather than show him wearing a campaign hat he’s currently selling for $55 at the dignified transfer.

JD Vance blatantly lied about being on a pro-peace ticket while saying Kamala Harris would start WWIII and war with Iran.

It was the most dishonest campaign in the history of modern politics.

President Trump Says Asking About Russia Helping Iran Target US Troops Is “Stupid.”

This is nonsense.

Cancellation of Army exercise fuels speculation about Mideast troop deployments — The Washington Post The abrupt cancellation of a training event has put a spotlight on the 82nd Airborne Division, which specializes in ground combat and other fraught missions.

Here we go:

CNN: Approval for President Trump's East Wing ballroom project – from a government commission that oversees planning for federal buildings and land in the nation's capital – is delayed after it received over 32,000 comments from the public overwhelmingly opposing the construction.

YAY! GO ALL OF US WHO COMMENTED!

Nice job using the process to put the brakes on!

YouTube video by Senator Elizabeth Warren I just left a classified briefing with the Trump Admin about the war in Iran.

I was worried before, but I’m more worried now.

Remember this when Donald Trump tells you we can’t afford health care.

CYPRUS UPDATE:

* "Shahed-type" drone, not "Shahed"
* Confirmed fired from Lebanon, not Iran

The video of a United States Senator joining the violent removal of U.S. marine from a hearing and hideously breaking his arm in a door is an example of what has been unleashed in this country. They’re tapping in to get in on the violence.
And then he bragged about it on X later.

This is a really interesting thread.

I don't think that the SAVE act includes anything about points 4 or 5? I think he's just throwing in some anti-trans stuff into his post for the fun of it?

So now the total number of countries attacked by Trump is 8. 9 if you count his sending US military into US cities.

That gave us the GFC. Today, it's this crap.

Wow

Seems like the media should at least express some curiosity about this.

Christ. What an absolute Pandora’s box Trump has opened.
