Reckless is the only way to describe Donald Trump's war with Iran.

He’s a wrecking ball president.

Anyone who believes that Iran was not or has not been prepared to replace the ayatollah for a long time now, or can't bounce back from this in a few months is gonna be really disappointed. If the goal was in fact regime change, this was the absolute dead-last dumbest & most dangerous way to do it.

Radiohead is demanding that the Trump administration take down a pro-ICE promotional video featuring a version of its song “Let Down” without permission.

Full statement from the band:

One Merger After Another: Trump Cronies Take Over CNN CBS was the test case. Now CNN is next. A wave of corporate media mergers is reshaping who controls what Americans see, hear, and believe.

Paramount elbowed out Netflix to buy WB Discovery after a months-long bidding war. When (not if) the deal closes, Paramount will control 25% of the entire media market, and half of the cable TV market, putting CBS and CNN under one roof— which sits atop a house owned by the pro-Trump Ellison family.

Follow the money. And IIRC, Epstein accused his friend Trump of laundering money for the Russians when he bought the estate Epstein wanted in Florida.

Eric Swalwell that reads, “Don’t threaten us with a good time,” quote-tweeting a FactPost clip of Speaker Mike Johnson saying, “If we lose the majority, it would be the end of the Trump presidency.” The embedded image shows Johnson speaking on Newsmax with a “Breaking News” banner and “State of the Union” chyron visible.

A really good time!

Oh cool. The justice department is investigating itself. I’m sure this will be really thorough.

Seized Art, Eavesdropping Guards: Parents Describe a Clampdown at Dilley Detention Center as Kids Shared Their Stories Detainees told ProPublica that art supplies have been removed in room searches, immigrants have lost access to Gmail and staff hover within earshot during video calls.

Trump can never fire Pam Bondi because she has as much dirt on Trump as Epstein did.

Zohran says Elaina will be released

There was a time when I thought George Bush was as bad as it could get.

I was wrong.

“It’s no longer a political calculus. It’s a moral and legal and Constitutional obligation of Congress to [impeach]. It would be a violation of the oath of office for a member of Congress not to push for impeachment when it is possible.”

Today, former Sec. of State, Hillary Clinton, will testify before House Oversight as a part of that committee's investigation into Jeffrey Epstein. Bill Clinton testifies tomorrow.

Both she & her husband insisted that their testimony be provided in a public hearing, but Rep. James Comer refused.

Republicans on the cable shows this morning

-- Suddenly talking again about need to "take" Greenland
-- Hyping importance of "strangling" Cuban government
-- Encouraging Trump to "topple" Iranian regime

The Trump movement is totally out of control. This will not end well.

🇺🇸 🏒 Captain hilary knight : “The joke was distasteful & unfortunate— Now I have to sit in front of you and explain someone else's behavior. It's not my responsibility… It’s a great teaching point to really shine light on how women should be championed for their amazing feats.”

“I think we all have the same values. And that’s to treat people as we would want to be treated.” Thank you Holly Neaton for joining me after the SOTU on @ms.now.

BREAKING MS NOW:

@lawofruby reports DOJ directed reviewers to flag FBI interview memos before it produced the latest Epstein files.

That follows MS NOW reporting that DOJ appears to have withheld memos on three interviews with a woman who accused Epstein and Trump of assault.

Democracy Docket laid down a marker on the big take away from Trump's SOTU. Let's see what legacy media produces.

This may be the best SOTU response in...ever? Nailing all the right points: affordability, ICE abuses, corruption, Epstein.

Not sure it matters, but Spanberger is providing Dems a good template for assailing Trump and offering alternative values and policies.

That was exhausting for all of us.

Some say that republicans should be grateful that women are seeking equality instead of revenge. But if I’m being honest, I’m kinda leaning toward revenge at this point.

Truly a mystery

Another win for the U.S. Women’s Hockey team.

ROGAN: “It’s overwhelming me. Too much fucking madness. We’re about to go to war with Iran. What are these files? How far does this go? What is happening?”

Wait til joe rogan finds out he helped get Trump elected 🤷🏼

Reading people. Body language. Knowing how to connect with people totally unlike you and with different backgrounds and beliefs. Defusing tense situations. Gaining trust. High endurance, pain tolerance, and work ethic. Reaction time. Prioritizing order of execution. Anticipating people’s needs. Tons

Classless.
