Pres Trump told me tonight the US had identified possible candidates to take over Iran, but they were killed in the initial attack.

"The attack was so successful it knocked out most of the candidates," Trump told me. "It's not going to be anybody that we were thinking of because they are all dead. Second or third place is dead."

The WH is making no effort at all to convince the American people how or why military action in Iran will keep them safe or improve their circumstances. They're not even trying to sell this, because nobody cares about anything beyond cashing in and keeping Trump happy.

Ban the fucking polymarkets. Betting on death. Betting on war while Incentivizing death and war. Shaping foreign/domestic policy by rewarding the rich people already in the know and encouraging them to make decisions that destroy the world while padding their pockets. Burn it down.

If the anti-interventionists caved, it was long before the US launched this attack. Project 2025 is hardly Buchananism, and it’s been the guidebook all along. I think Vance knew what he was getting into, and if he didn’t, he wasn’t reading his administrations own roadmap.

Three Americans dead and Trump’s UN Ambassador waves it off with some bullshit jingoism. From the people who wailed about Benghazi for a decade. Absolute soulless ghouls.

Transpose this 1970 campaign speech by antisemitic white supremacist Asa Carter into the voice of JD Vance or Elon Musk or Matt Walsh and tell me if you could tell the difference.

The National States Rights Party, a domestic terrorist organization headed up by admirers of Hitler who wanted to kill all American Jews and deport all non-whites. This is their 1963 convention. The keynote speaker was Asa Carter, the author of George Wallace's "Segregation forever" speech.

They went to war with Iran (which nobody in America was asking for) so they could conjure an excuse to allow ICE to keep murdering Americans and teargassing schools here at home with impunity (which nobody in America was asking for).

“Massive” war launched by a man with no plan. Again. Donald Trump is repeating George W. Bush's catastrophic mistakes.

"Trump has no plan for Iran. Just blow shit up, kill some people, and hope for the best. It is the war of a Mad King."

Now that Khameini’s death is confirmed, will the regime collapse?

I would bet against it.

Khameini was v old, and both he/his lieutenants had been planning for the succession for some time. He had also delegated much of the gov work to others before the strikes in case he was killed/incommunicado

They've monetized and incentivized committing crimes against humanity.

It's a scandal on par with Pete Rose betting on baseball, if Pete Rose were undersecretary of defense, and baseball was murdering civilians with bombs.

7/9. And now Trump uses the Iranian electoral operations that were on his side and which he has enabled as a reason to attack Iran. Absurd.

6/9. Trump and allies rewarded the Iranians and the Russians and the Chinese by punishing the US researchers who discovered all this and abolishing the agencies that tracked it.

Roderich Kiesewetter, Fraktion CDU/CSU, zum Angriff auf Iran Roderich Kiesewetter, Fraktion CDU/CSU, zum Angriff auf Iran

Bemerkenswertes Interview mit Kiesewetter. Er sagt letztlich, Militärschläge seien im Interesse Deutschlands und im Interesse der Iraner*innen. Das Regime im Iran habe bei den Verhandlungen nicht eingelenkt und müsse nun die Konsequenzen tragen. Ich halte fest: Das Völkerrecht gilt nicht mehr.

Judge blocks Trump admin from rescinding health grants to Democratic-led states The ruling temporarily blocks the Trump Administration from cutting $600 million in public health grants that had already been allocated to four Democratic-led states.

Unbelievable that we still talk about withholding HIV funding as a form of political maneuvering rather than an act of social murder, as if the 80’s + 90’s never happened and we didn’t lose an entire generation to this already.
