The military draft comment from Leavitt feels like a trial balloon.
If there's enough outcry, Trump denies it and Leavitt falls on her sword for "misspeaking."
If there's not, Trump and Hegseth bring it up casually and slowly push. For example, Trump may "joke" about it as a next step.

It is reported that Iran selected Mojtaba Khamenei in part because Trump said in an interview that he was "unacceptable" to Trump.
So Trump has ensured the person running Iran is *more* theocratic and hates the US for killing his wife and father. Well done, Donald!

What an honor to receive @hrc.org’s 2026 Ally for Equality award at HRC South Florida’s annual dinner.
Silence is not civility. Silence is complicity. As an ally, we must be louder because progress has never come from silence.
These times demand the courage to stand up & fight back for equality.
Trump: “Short term oil prices, which will drop rapidly when the destruction of the Iran nuclear threat is over, is a very small price to pay for U.S.A., and World, Safety and Peace. ONLY FOOLS WOULD THINK DIFFERENTLY!President DJT”

So Lindsey went to Israel several times to coach Bibi in how to talk Trump into this war.

🚨 New airstrikes hit Tehran’s oil infrastructure. Reports say Israeli strikes targeted fuel storage and energy facilities, one of the most significant hits on Iran’s oil infrastructure since the war began.

The Kennedy Center may never recover if Trump demolishes it
Congress ordered it be a living memorial to a slain president
Trump is defying that order — & it’s blatantly illegal
We’re in court to stop it

A lot of us have been saying the people in the Trump administration act like this war is a video game.
The White House troll account confirmed it. 👀
The killing of Iranian children during an illegal war is an impeachable offense (not to mention a grave crime) and Congress should really act like it.
15 Republicans in the Senate could end this nightmare before it somehow gets even worse.
Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say “Send me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact.
How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.

“Like I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die.”
That’s what the President of the United States is saying to the American people.
He won’t be hurt by a retaliatory attack or high gas prices. But you will — and that’s a sacrifice he’s willing to make.
