An IMPORTANT message from Liz Oyer, former DOJ Pardon Attorney:

She says that Pam Bondi announced a new rule that would stop state bar associations from investigating misconduct by DOJ lawyers.

The Trump Administration is considering asking Congress for new emergency spending for the Iran War.

Hell no. This is our chance to draw a line in the sand and use our power to stop this war before it kills more Americans and sends the Middle East into more chaos.

just asked Karoline Leavitt why Pete Hegseth complained about American casualties making front page news.

Leavitt then denied that he ever did.

β€œWe’re not showing you that because the Israeli government doesn’t allow us β€” or want us β€” to show where that may have come from.”

A major American news network just admitted on air that a foreign government is controlling what you see.

Damn CNN can never show you this : Tucker Carlson plays a deeply disturbing video of an Israeli Rabbi openly plotting to shoot a missile into the Dome of the Rock in the Al-Aqsa and blame it on Iran

This perfectly exposes the calculated deception and false flag tactics used by Israel...

Thomas Massie:

β€œSome told us this war was about nuclear weapons. But six months ago, we were assured our last strike on Iran decimated their nuclear program.”

β€œIsrael forced our hand and dragged us into this war. Again!”

AOC: This is about actual crimes happening in front of us. This is about shredding the Constitution and plunging us into war. This is about taking crypto money and money laundering… So if you’re asking me if I’d support impeachment, I do

β€œNobody wants this war. They know what it’s actually about. This is a war being pushed by Benjamin Netanyahu. He’s been trying to make this war happen for almost 30 years. This war is also being pushed because Donald Trump is in the Epstein Files”

Former Marine Sgt. Brian McGuinness stood up in Congress to say what millions of Americans are thinking: We don’t want to fight a war with Iran for Israel.
Security dragged him out and broke his arm. Veterans are speaking out. The American people don’t want this war.

It’s not just that the Administration isn’t answering questions about Iran.

They’re lying.

This Ukrainian tech is interesting in light of the US using $4 million missiles to shoot down $20,000 drones, Hegseth braggadocio notwithstanding, and US ammunition depletion reported. From Trump's blathering it sounds like his handlers told him everything's fine ammo-wise.

Minab school bombing: how the worst mass casualty event of the Iran war unfolded – a visual guide A strike on Shajareh Tayyebeh school during the US-Israeli bombing campaign killed up to 168 people. The Guardian has pieced together the incident and its aftermath using verified footage and images f...

Gen. Caine accuses the Iranians of being "indiscriminate" in their attacks and hitting "innocent civilian targets." He and Hegseth didn't mention the U.S.-Israeli killing of 170 people in the bombing of an Iranian girls school, but a reporter did. "We're investigated that," they said.

I am back in D.C. to hear from cruel Kristi Noem on why she is complicit in the chaos happening at DHS, vote on a War Powers Resolution to rein Donald Trump in, and vote against a DHS funding bill that does nothing to address the reckless actions we’re seeing from ICE.

The work continues.

They responded by breaking his arm. Freedom of speech… until you say you don’t want to fight for Israel.

ICE brutally tackled U.S. Marine veteranβ€”now he has filed excessive force lawsuit.

Head hit the ground so hard it left him with concussion.

"You’re not talking shit anymore are you?" agent mocked.

The assault bruised him to the point that it hurt to breatheβ€”was diagnosed with chest contusions.

His name is Jared Polis, he's betrayed the United States and he's a Democrat. Secure voting is the foundation of our democracy, and he's going to the dark side.

Huge slap in the face to democracy. Democratic Colorado governor, @colorado.gov, just publicly signaled clemency to Tina peters, convicted of election interference. If election crimes have no consequences, why would the next denier stop?

Le Monde investigates the bombing of a girls' school in Minab that claimed more than 180 dead. There was no ambiguity that this was a school when it was attacked, they write. This was a clear war crime that reminds of Hegseth's statement that there would be no "stupid roles of engagement."

NOEM: I would disagree with the judge

CROCKETT: A law degree

Joe Neguse and Kristi Noem, split screen.

Joe Neguse and Kristi Noem, split screen.

Neguse is walking Noem through her false testimony yesterday that her $220M propaganda campaign was competitively bid.

He's reading right from no-bid justification. 4 companies were given the bid.

Neguse: Where is it HQed?
Noem: I don't know.
Neguse: We don't know either. We tried to find it.
