Pentagon Destroys Trump’s Main Defense on Iran Strikes It turns out President Trump’s rationale for striking Iran isn’t true.

“Iran was not planning to attack U.S. military personnel or bases in the Persian Gulf unless Israel struck first, sources in the Pentagon told Congress Sunday.”

Trump Says U.S. Service Member Deaths In Iran Attack Is ‘Great Deal For The World’: Report

He is vile.

“We expect casualties with something like this,” Trump said. “We have three, but we expect casualties, but in the end it’s going to be a great deal for the world.”

So much for his “board of peace”

Trump’s ICE Is Quietly Stockpiling Weaponry—and It Should Alarm Us All In addition to staffing up at a furious rate, ICE and CPB are acquiring a vast cache of weapons from private contractors, new data reveals. This will not end well—or anytime soon.

It is more than alarming that ICE is arming up like it’s the military to be his domestic brown shirts squad.

A 65 year old legally blind and disabled woman says she has unintentionally lost 28 pounds because she can’t afford enough food under the Trump administration.

“Like the previous caller said, the end is coming near, and it couldn’t be any more true than for me.”

Heartbreaking

911 calls capture kids burning with fever, struggling to breathe at ICE detention center EMS crews were called to the Dilley Immigration Processing Center in Texas at least 11 times since September for children in medical distress, records show.

Nooooo!
How the hell is this happening?!

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.

WARNING:
“When (not if) the deal closes, Paramount will control 25% of the entire media market, and half of the cable TV market. It will put CBS and CNN under one roof. And that roof sits atop a house owned by the Trump-friendly Ellison family.”

If you want to depose a first lady with direct ties to Jeffrey Epstein, look no further than Melania.

Trump, seeking executive power over elections, is urged to declare emergency Activists who say they are in coordination with the White House are circulating a draft executive order that would unlock extraordinary presidential power over voting.

This is big. The GOP plot to steal the elections.

WE ARE NOT FREE

Good way to start a day. 😊

If another country suspects that Americans have drugs on their boat are they allowed to blow it up and kill everyone too, or are only we allowed to do that?

Per WIRED - a White House staffer has been ID’ed as running a big Twitter account that called the Obama apes video a “masterpiece” (and his wife works for Karoline Leavitt)

30 years.

This video should be on every network.

This is both an act of war *and* a war crime, as it is similar to cutting off water or destroying power plants. It's designed to kill civilians.

Trump didn’t “lift” anyone off food stamps—he kicked them off. He’s forcing millions to go hungry.

By the way, you can work full time and STILL qualify for SNAP. My family needed SNAP growing up—it’s not charity, it’s an investment.

Fund SNAP. Reverse the cuts.

We should require the same paperwork and identification to buy a gun as they are suggesting for the Save Act.

2/2 …the dignity of normal times

To truly understand the disturbing scope of the gaudy gold opulence thrown at the Oval Office walls, you have to compare with the dignity of previous presidents (below)

“When the event concluded, Speaker Johnson told an interviewer what was really at stake during the nearly two-hour speech: "If we lost the midterms — heaven forbid, if we lost the majority in the House — it would be the end of the Trump presidency in a real effect." — From @democracydocket.com
