It’s crystal clear now that Trump has lost control of this war. He badly misjudged Iran’s ability to retaliate. The region is on fire.

1/ I’m going to explain to you in this🧵what I’ve learned - in part from closed door briefings - about the four biggest current crises.

In cases you were wondering . . . this is a photo that annoyed Pete Hegseth so much because he thought it was "unflattering" so he got the photographer barred. I encourage all of you to use it as often as possible.

20 White House cabinet members have directed at least $30 million to benefit Trump - CREW | Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington The $30 million comes in the form of political contributions, property visits, stock holdings and donations to White Hou

Trump has raked in at least $30 million…from his own cabinet.

20 members have funneled millions right into Trump’s pockets through political donations, visits to his properties, stock holdings in his companies, and other donations.

The grift never ends.

A year ago we were supposed to be getting $2,000 rebate checks, DOGE was going to find $2 trillion in waste to balance the budget, we were going to pay no income taxes because tariffs would pay for everything, gas and home electric bills would be cut in half, and no new wars.

Eric Trump and Donald Trump, Jr. are acquiring a drone company that is seeking to meet Pentagon demand after Trump banned the use of Chinese drones.

We’re barely a week into Trump’s war and already his family has found a way to cash in.

Everything is for sale.

So all Trump did to day was use Iran's closure of Hormuz as an excuse to reward Russia, which is helping Iran wiht targeting, and give his buddies a chance to cash in on their insider knowledge?

Anything I'm missing?

CBS obtained video of the DHS killing of an unarmed man in Texas that DHS concealed for nearly a year, which clearly contradicts claims that he violently rammed anyone. He is shot with his brake lights on, car not moving or barely moving. Another DHS crime.

While the McDonald’s CEO gets roasted for his awkward burger taste test...

McDonald’s is among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.

And McDonald's CEO recently raked in $18.2M — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.

That should leave a bad taste in your mouth.

MAGA's Election Interference Flip Trump is weaponizing foreign threats after gutting the infrastructure that fought them.

After 4 years vilifying disinformation researchers for having the temerity to study information threats to democracy, Trump is suddenly raising the banner of “foreign election interference” to attempt to justify his unlawful actions at home & abroad.

Trump is VERY clearly looking for claims of foreign interference to serve as a basis to declare a national emergency and usurp control of the election. This is how he's going to try and do it. Trump is nothing if not self-interested; he's doing this to help himself and consolidate his grip on power.

The lies these shameless, dishonest assholes told us about how voting for Donald Trump would be voting for no new wars.

Well, we are now in a new war with Iran—just to distract from Trump's pedophilia.

Iran state TV reports more than 200 people killed
By SARAH EL DEEB
Iran’s Red Crescent says Israeli-U.S. airstrikes across Iran have killed 201 people and injured 747, according to comments on Iranian state TV.

The spokesperson for the Red Crescent said the strikes have hit 24 of Iran’s 31 provinces. The spokesperson said relief operations are ongoing, and that 220 teams were deployed to different sites to respond to the strikes.

Every American should ask themselves, regardless of their opinions on Iran's government, if they would think it acceptable for another country to do this to us because of *our* government.

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1.5 trillion.

Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.

Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits.

The military industrial complex is cheering today.

The threat of detention warehouses harkens back to one of our most shameful periods as a nation, when warehouses were used for Japanese American incarceration in the 1940s, which caused immense suffering and generational trauma. It was wrong then and it is wrong now.
