Trump Lays Out His ‘Worst Case’ Scenario in Iran Who will lead Iran once the war is over? “Most of the people we had in mind are dead,” says President Trump.

When asked on Tuesday who he would like to rule Iran, President Trump responded: “Most of the people we had in mind are dead.”

“Now we have another group,” he continued. “They may be dead also, based on reports. So I guess you have a third wave coming. Pretty soon we’re not going to know anybody.”

Trump Parties With Millionaires as American Troops Die Millionaires, Republican Party elites and big-spending donors were at Mar-a-Lago to party while Trump’s war raged across at least 10 countries.

As Americans were being sent to war and possible death or injury, Tsar a Lago courtiers were partying, drinking champagne, showing off their fillers. What a despicable bunch of out of touch shitbags. Seriously, fuck these people!

Ossoff: "The president owes Americans a real explanation. 2am posts on Truth Social just aren't good enough when you're sending Americans into combat. He was dancing at his beach club the same night he ordered air crews to launch into combat & hours before our service members endured missile salvos"

I hate how accurate this tweet is.

The CDC (Kennedy) gave $1.6m to fund an unethical Hep B trial in Guinea-Bissau. WHO/scientists denounced it.

Enter @standupforscience.bsky.social. They briefed congress on this study. It is now cancelled.

Science activism is essential right now.

"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."

-Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

The chairman of the Board of Peace bombed the Gandhi hospital. Process that.

The Supreme Court of the United States of America gave Donald Trump complete immunity. Permission for him to be above the law, above the Constitution. To end our democracy and to wage wars, as our dictator.

They protect and support this accused pedophile. accused of raping a 13-year-old child.

Sunday thought: Trump’s Real Reason for War Friends,

What's the real reason for this war in Iran? Trump and Netanyahu are using the same authoritarian playbook. A big part of that playbook is using war to blot out your failures and any criticism you are facing at home.

Some thoughts...

I put a post out early this morning after the war started & made a sarcastic joke that Trump would probably be putting out $2 million/plate dinners while he manages the war on Iraq.

Turns out it's NOT A JOKE. Trump is having a fundraiser at Mar-A-Lago tonight.

Let. that. fucking. sink. in.

🚨 ISRAEL REIMPOSES TOTAL SIEGE ON GAZA Israel has closed all crossings into Gaza, including Rafah, “until further notice.” COGAT says humanitarian staff rotations are postponed, meaning no aid personnel can enter or leave. Israel falsely claimed: “The substantial quantities of food that have entered since the beginning of the ceasefire amount to four times the nutritional needs of the population… Therefore, the existing stock is expected to suffice for an extended period.” UN says less than 170 of the daily 600 trucks have been entering Gaza drive the ceasefire began.

COGAT @cogatonline 📢📢📢The IDF and the U.S. Army have launched a broad, joint operation aimed at fundamentally targeting the Iranian terrorist regime and removing long-term existential threats to the State of Israel. Accordingly, several necessary security adjustments have been implemented, including the closure of the crossings into the Gaza Strip, among them the Rafah Crossing, until further notice. The rotation of humanitarian personnel is postponed at this stage. It should be emphasized that the closure of the crossings will have no impact on the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip.* The substantial quantities of food that have entered since the beginning of the ceasefire amount to four times the nutritional needs of the population, according to the UN methodology. Therefore, the existing stock is expected to suffice for an extended period. COGAT will continue to maintain continuous contact with the international community and will provide updates on any developments.

❓NBC News to Iran’s FM: “Sir, how can attacking U.S. military bases abroad be justified?” 💬 FM Araghchi: Because they are attacking us. These US military installations, facilities, bases are being used to attack us. We are under attack. Why don’t you, you know, recognize this this fact? We are under an attack from you. This is obvious. This is a very simple fact. I hope that, I am sure that people would understand that we are not the one who attacked Americans. We are defending ourselves.
