If only Donald Trump could focus on being a real president to the entire population of the United States that would be a big step up. He doesn't have it in him.

โ€˜Dark, like our futureโ€™: Iranians describe scenes of catastrophe after Tehranโ€™s oil depots bombed Residents report terror of smoke-filled city, from potentially toxic rain, air and water to food scarcity and difficulty of escape

โ€œThe situation is so frightening itโ€™s hard to describe. Smoke has covered the entire city. I have severe shortness of breath and burning in my eyes and throat, and many others feel the same. But people still have to go outside because they have no choice."

Airstrikes on oil depots in Tehran have left the city covered in thick black smoke. Authorities have issued warnings about toxic air and acid rain. Residents describe burning eyes, breathing problems and shortages of masks and fuel as the fires continue to burn. At least 6 people were killed.

June 2025: Theyโ€™re gone. History.

March 2026: If we didnโ€™t bomb them RIGHT NOW theyโ€™ll have a nuke in TWO WEEKS.

The"obliteration" was fiction. Or Iran produced nuclear fascilities faster than Dollar Generals pop up in the middle of nowhere.

There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.

Trump calls his war in Iran a war that he has already won.

Meanwhile, his MAGA defenders in Congress claim it is not a war.

You know the adage โ€œone step forward, two steps back?โ€

Donald Trump is our two steps back.

Make no mistake.

We will go forward again.

Keep the hope.

The "Tan Suit" was a national scandal. The "Coffee Cup Salute" was an insult to the uniform. But a baseball cap at a Dignified Transfer? That's just "Saturday" for the MAGA movement.

He wears the same hat to the dignified transfer of fallen soldiers that died under his watch as he does to go golfing at his country club. Zero respect for our military.

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:

Tax cuts for the rich
...donโ€™t trickle down

Boosting military spending
...doesnโ€™t bring peace

Slashing regulations
...doesnโ€™t create jobs

Folks, weโ€™ve seen this all before.

It was DonaldTrump who escalated this conflict with Iran and now insults one of our closest allies for sending an aircraft carrier in reponse to a drone strike on their own base. Publicly attacking the UK in the middle of a crisis isn't a flex it makes the our president look reckless and unhinged.

Estefany Rodriguez Florez, a Colombian reporter for Nashville Noticias critical of ICE, was detained by ICE during a traffic stop.

Her attorney say agents never showed a warrant.

She has a valid work permit, application for asylum and seeks legal status through her U.S. citizen husband.

The Associated Press reports that evidence suggests the deadly bombing at a girls elementary school in Minab was caused by a U.S. airstrike. Over 165 people were killed and most of them were children. Satellite images show most of the school reduced to rubble.

Jacobs: The Trump administration doesnโ€™t give a shit about the Iranian peopleโ€ฆ They are literally deporting people back to Iran who fled the brutal Iranian regime.

He doesnโ€™t care about human rights anywhere โ€” not here in the United States, not in Iran, not anywhere else.

New satellite images from several key military bases in the Arabian Peninsula suggest Iran is seeking to degrade air defenses by destroying US-made radars that detect incoming missiles and drones.

The radar system for an American THAAD missile battery in Jordan was struck and apparently destroyed.

If itโ€™s true that the United States bombed an elementary school and killed scores of children it is an unfathomable crime. I have never been more disgusted to be an American.
