Did #bbclaurak ask the Israeli president (who was also on the program this morning) how on earth he justifies killing tens of thousands of Palestinians?

Of course she didn't.

Kuenssberg: it's impossible to report freely and fairly from inside Iran.

What's your excuse for not doing so in the UK, Laura?

It’s now almost 2 months since Nigel Farage was scheduled to appear on #bbclaurak as part of her Leaders Interview but pulled out due to being “under the weather”

He’s currently in America supporting a foreign president over his own country

The people who told us austerity was crucial, Brexit would be brilliant, Boris Johnson’s amazing and Liz Truss is an economic genius, are now insisting the country should join an illegal war

Stephen Fry: “I’m deeply worried by the darkening shadow that’s going over the world, a shadow that we have to call fascism”

Laura Kuenssberg: “You would use that word?”

Stephen Fry: “Oh absolutely. It’s a cult of power; and power only speaks to power”

How Russia Emerged as an Early Winner of the Iran War The war in Iran has shaken global markets and caused geopolitical blowback, but Russia could benefit in the short term.

“Putin and his advisors have likely determined that war in #Iran serves Russia’s interests in the short term: higher energy prices, global distraction from a #Ukraine war that Putin is not ready to settle, and America at risk of entrapment in another Middle Eastern quagmire,” Robert Person says.

Why is trump doing this? It’s a handy way of invalidating mail-in ballots for mid-terms.

Even with Russia helping Iran target Americans, the Trump administration approach to Ukraine is Russia deserves to get something for its aggression, and the goal of U.S. pressure is to get Ukraine to bow down to Putin.

WELKER: Why is Trump helping Russia in this moment?

WALTZ:I wouldn't characterize it that way

WELKER: How else would you describe easing oil sanctions?

WALTZ: It's common sense to allow oil sitting on ships to go to India

WELKER: Russia will be getting that money as it wages its war in Ukraine

It looks like the war on Iran is going about as poorly as the regime’s previous wars against Chicago, Minnesota and Los Angeles.

Our troops are dying this isn’t a video game. The White House is posting so-called “hype” videos that mix real footage from the war in Iran with clips from movies and video games like Call of Duty. It’s an absolute disgrace.

GOP Rep Tony Gonzales Ends Re-Election Bid Amid Probe Into Alleged Affair With Ex-Staffer The embattled lawmaker is under a House Ethics Committee investigation for alleged sexual misconduct with a former member of his staff, who committed suicide last year.

BREAKING: Trump was just asked if Americans should be worried about retaliatory attacks at home: “I guess… Like I said, some people will die.”

Like clockwork.

Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"

Investigators now say the U.S. likely bombed a girls’ school in Iran, killing over 160 people, mostly children. If confirmed, it would rank among the worst civilian massacres of America’s Middle East wars.

“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed...This is not a way of life...it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.”

-Dwight Eisenhower 1953

President Trump's Pardons: An Embarrassment of Riches At least the specter of corruption in previous presidential administrations (Clinton’s pardon of Marc Rich or Biden’s pardon of his son) appeared to be an exception to the rule. Today, however, the ev...

That is insane: "Biden’s pardons eliminated roughly $680,000 in financial penalties owed to victims or the government. In contrast, Trump’s second-term pardons have forgiven criminal debts of more than $1.5 billion." www.cato.org/blog/embarra...

DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.

He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.

The grift continues.

Psaki: "While Kristi Noem certainly deserved to lose her job, the man Trump has tapped to replace her hardly seems, in my view, up to a wartime appointment. In fact, he seems pretty confused about whether or not this is a war."

I propose a new law:

Anyone who expresses support for an offensive war shall immediately be drafted to fight in it. No exceptions and no exemptions for any reason, including disability or service as a government official in any office. Presidents and congressmen shall fight in any war they start.

Politico has confirmed two things from CENTCOM.

1. Trump has no plan for how to end this war (that actually might be the plan).

2. Even if we started scaling back today, the military won't be able to withdraw from Iran until September 2026.

Note: No clear objective has been declared.

Now!!
