Support for the Iran war is at an abysmal 38%, per G. Elliott Morris's average of polls. That's the lowest initial support for a war in memory. Also, CNN finds 59% don't trust Trump to make right decisions with force in Iran. There's no rally-around-flag effect. 4/

At Largest ICE Detention Camp, Staff Bet on Detainee Suicides, AP Reports Camp East Montana has received several 911 calls in the span of five months about immigrants trying to harm themselves.

Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.

Someone please tell me how striking a school is combatting Iranian terror? Who is going to answer for the murder of these children?

Quick reminder: Epstein.

I didn’t set out to be a politician. I set out to raise my family here and build a life in Montana.

But when you watch families fight to stay afloat while politicians get rich, something has to change.

I’m running because this state belongs to the people who live here. Not the billionaires. Not the PACs.

Together, we are Montana strong. And it’s time to send leadership to DC that will work for us.

The Trump DOJ FINALLY releases missing files directly alleging sexual abuse of a minor by Trump that DOJ claims were “offline” but then suddenly came online after Pamela Jo was subpoenaed by House Oversight.

I review the allegations, including specific details about Trump.

WATCH — @mehdirhasan.bsky.social to @chrislhayes.bsky.social: “It’s a moral abomination and tactically stupid… Trump doesn’t give a damn about Iranian lives. Have we learned nothing from Iraq or Afghanistan? All we seem to have learned is from Gaza is 🇮🇱 can bomb hospitals & schools with impunity.”

Question: why would anyone come to the World Cup here?

@fifa that “peace prize” isn’t aging too great huh 🏆

There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective.

He’s not protecting others; he’s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.

President Trump's Pardons: An Embarrassment of Riches At least the specter of corruption in previous presidential administrations (Clinton’s pardon of Marc Rich or Biden’s pardon of his son) appeared to be an exception to the rule. Today, however, the ev...

Trump’s second term pardons have forgiven criminal debts of $1.5 billion. “Allies protected, donors rewarded, DOJ undermined, and election norms threatened. Corruption looks less like an exception and more like the rule.”

Donald J. Trump C @realDonaldTrump Iran, which is being beat to HELL, has apologized and surrendered to its Middle East neighbors, and promised that it will not shoot at them anymore. This promise was only made because of the relentless U.S. and Israeli attack. They were looking to take over and rule the Middle East. It is the first time that Iran has ever lost, in thousands of years, to surrounding Middle Eastern Countries. They have said, "Thank you President Trump." I have said, "You're welcome!" Iran is no longer the "Bully of the Middle East," they are, instead, "THE LOSER OF THE MIDDLE EAST," and will be for many decades until they surrender or, more likely, completely collapse! Today Iran will be hit very hard! Under serious consideration for complete destruction and certain death, because of Iran's bad behavior, are areas and groups of people that were not considered for targeting up until this moment in time. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

The Trump administration has released a proposal to overhaul the rules that govern federal layoffs a move that would make it easier to carry out sweeping arbitrary terminations across agencies.

I’m so tired of bad people getting away with doing bad things.

Can I say something without everyone getting mad

This is so frightening to me that we are allowing this with our military!!! I lived around the military many years and worked for the Army for 3 years in Germany. I had no idea if anyone had any kind of belief system, never knew their politics, it was never discussed. Horrifying!

Eyeing Voting Rights, Liberals Aim to Secure Wisconsin’s Supreme Court through 2030 - Bolts After flipping the court in 2023, Wisconsin liberals now hope to expand their majority on a body that could be a critical backstop for voting rights during the next presidential election.

NEW: Believe it or not, it’s that time of year: the Wisconsin Supreme Court election is next month.

Liberals have a huge opportunity: if they win, they can lock down the majority of this court thru 2030.

That means they’d have it in the next presidential race, a big democracy guardrail.

Maybe this is just me, but I kind of think massive military operations, in which we're demanding unconditional surrender as the outcome, probably should be authorized by Congress.
