Now they’re heading back to South Africa because it’s not the land of milk and honey Trump promised.

This is underreported story. But it’s important.
Acts of domestic terrorism are predictably spiking in the aftermath of our attack on Iran - and Trump and Patel gutted the FBI counterterrorism team, leaving the country intentionally exposed.
Republicans blamed Hillary for 4 dead in Benghazi. They blamed Biden for 13 dead in Afghanistan.
Trump’s war has already left 13 U.S. troops dead in just three weeks. Where’s the GOP outrage now?
Donald Trump attended one dignified transfer in a campaign merch hat, turned the photo into a fundraising email & then skipped the next one entirely.

Daily Beast: AZ US Atty Timothy Courchaine admits illegal detention claims have skyrocketed 10,000% and “We’ve been losing almost all of these”, says he has been pulling criminal prosecutors off of major cases to work on illegal detentions, defense attorneys say they’re winning 95% of habeas cases.
ZAKARIA: Trump compared you to PT Barnum. It seems he still has some resentment toward Ukraine and you personally
ZELENSKYY: I don't know, Fareed. I'm looking just to the facts. What American bases need now are interceptors. It's our technology.
Zelenskyy: "Putin never wanted to stop the war. America has to make big pressure on Putin or he will not negotiate. Of course the situation in Iran gives him more money, and the process of taking off the sanctions also is helpful for him. It gives him more assurance that he can continue the war."
Jeffries: "In terms of Republicans, what's clear is that from the very beginning of the Trump presidency, these extremists have functioned like wholly owned subsidiaries of the Trump cartel, continuing to be nothing more than reckless rubber stamps for Trump's extreme agenda"
Rep. Rich McCormick says the US needs to "control Iran's exports for a time until they prove they can actually be good stewards of their own wealth"

Schiff: "We are now giving Russia $140 million a day by releasing them from these sanctions when Russia is providing intelligence to Iran to better attack and kill American troops. It is rewarding Russia and punishing Ukraine."
If there was a mandatory draft for billionaires and their families any time we went to war, there would be no wars.
WELKER: Would you consider voting for more funding for the military during this conflict?
SCHIFF: No. The military has all the funding it needs for this conflict. This $11 billion we've spent just within the first few days -- that's money that could've gone into new hospitals and schools.
Buttigieg: "We lived through a war that was sold to us on false pretenses when I was younger. This war has not been sold on any pretense. The president just went ahead and did it."
Buttigieg: "Trump's political operation was raising money off images at a dignified transfer. Any politician who does that has no business leading American troops into war.

If we made the green energy transition this war would be unthinkable and these authoritarians wouldn’t be in power — not in the US, not in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia, not in Russia. Hydrocarbons are killing our freedom and just plain killing us.
Even the conservative Wall Street Journal understands the havoc wealth inequality is wreaking on our economy and society.
