"Before the 2024 election, a cadre of MAGA loyalists met over brunch to plot ways for Trump to use the military domestically."
Cool cool cool.
Even if the war ends next week, the instability it created will continue to disrupt an economy that was already headed for trouble before it began. trib.al/4qpEi4R
Trump's picture is missing the American flag, draped caskets, and the billions of taxpayer dollars to fund the war and inflationary economic costs.
They made them take down the videos because they would cause "reputational damage" to people like this young man, Nathan Cavanuagh, so definitely don't post this all over the internet with the name Nathan Cavanaugh attached, or this guy might suffer reputational damage. This guy, Nathan Cavanaugh.
Yup, best thing here is for Trump to take the L and take our troops out of harm's way. If he continues his madness by murdering innocent people for oil, Congress needs to lobby his cabinet to 25th him
The United States created this chaos with their illegal war crimes against Iran
It is Israel that has displaced 700k Lebanese
Weird you are obfuscating Israel here
“I broke it now you fix it.”
Other counties should clean the mess I created and help solve a problem every expert anticipated except my minions.
He alone can fix it lol
This won't stop until Democrats start pushing back by telling Pentagon officials and senior military leaders that war crimes committed during this administration will be prosecuted during the next administration.
There's a hauntingly beautiful irony in these morons thinking that carefully crafted American hegemony was actually weak and woke, and they would be the ones who would do Power and Dominance properly, and immediately bringing everything crashing down
Your friendly reminder from Kevin Walling that every Democrat in the House voted for National Voter ID included in the Freedom to Vote Act. Not one Republican voted for it. The SAVE Act isn’t about Voter ID, it’s a voter suppression bill to help rig the midterms for Republicans.
WSJ: The likelihood of Iran closing the strait was discussed, Gen Caine predicted it, and Trump decided “Tehran would likely capitulate before closing the strait — and even if Iran tried, the U.S. military could handle it.”

JFC.
Impeach and remove this lawless man, you fools.
This still doesn’t really explain exactly what is happening — raising further questions about the repeated use of “Trump administration” and “administration,” as opposed to “paid to the federal government.”

When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.
Proud to see that the JUSTICE FOR HIND RAJAB ACT has been introduced by Welch and Van Hollen in the Senate as well as by Jacobs and Castro in the House.
It demands a full federal accounting and investigation, to be reported to Congress, on the murder of innocent civilians in Gaza by the Israelis.
And as a fun related legal fact, the failure of a commander to punish war crimes by his subordinates is also a war crime under the doctrine of command responsibility.

NEW: Senate Democrats have filed legislation that would prevent the U.S. from attacking Cuba without congressional approval as they seek to force a vote on President Trump's stated goal of a "takeover" of the Caribbean country
The part in blue is a story I am following closely. Trump officials seem to classify David Ellison as an ally, who will alter CNN's coverage to make it more "friendly."

What happens if he complies? What happens if he doesn't? Both are huge for Obanization.

Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning:
Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime.
And recognized as such by the US Government.
From DoD's Manual for Military Commissions.
Oh my god, a dark money group is paying people to attack Tim Onion. But they call me a "CEO of a major media company."
Do not pay influencers to attack Tim Onion and his untold millions (or billions?) of dollars to attack Tim Onion without mentioning the GREAT deal you can on an Onion membership.
HOLY SHIT.
A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election.
Thank you to the people who declined the money and went forward with this. So who's behind this?
"Moderate Democrats" Aren't Moderate Anymore
According to recent polls, "moderate" Democratic voters support Medicare for All, taxing the rich, & taking on the broligarchy. Will the Democratic leadership wake up or keep listening to corporate donors?
