US military says three of its troops killed in first Iran operation casualties Three U.S. service members have been killed and another five have been seriously wounded, in the first casualties of the unfolding U.S. operations against Iran, the U.S. military said on Sunday.

Reports indicate at least 100 children have already been killed in strikes on schools. That is unconscionable.

Three U.S. service members are dead as a result of this entirely preventable war of choice.

The blood of these service members, these children, and every civilian rests in Trump’s hands.

Let me be clear: we don’t even have the entirety of the Epstein files yet and they already lay bare the longest and most heinous betrayal of Americans in the history of our country.

Back in 2003, in making the case for war in Iraq, the Bush administration emphasized facts that turned out to be wrong. "The Trump administration, in neglecting to make the case for war against Iran, has put itself in a position where it can’t be proved wrongβ€”but it also can’t be proved right."πŸ‘‡

"The differences and similarities between 2026 and 2003 are eerie. Then as now, American intervention was ostensibly, but not really, about weapons of mass destruction β€” Iraq turned out not to have them, and Iran doesn’t have them now"

Just in the last year... Trump attacked Iran, Venezuela, Nigeria, Somalia, Yemen, Syria, and Iraq. And then murdered people in the Caribbean and the Pacific in boat strikes.

Add on top of that, destroying USAID, pulling out of WHO, etc... and this administration has/is killing millions of people.

Just saying, but when people are trying to do everything they can to prevent you from voting, that’s when you absolutely need to vote.

Ready to make this the biggest midterm turnout in history?

Here’s a thought for James Comer.

There IS a First Lady who has had a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. And it’s not Hillary Clinton.

It might be worthwhile for Comer to subpoena the First Lady who actually knows Epstein.

You know, just to see what she knows.

The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M to detain 4k people. Of those- only 30 were accused of violent crimes.

$9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst".

Netflix drops out of bidding after WBD deems Paramount’s takeover bid β€˜superior’ | CNN Business Netflix said Thursday afternoon that it has β€œdeclined to raise its offer for Warner Bros.” after the Warner Bros. Discovery board determined that Paramount has submitted a β€œsuperior” offer.

There goes CNN into the clutches of Bari Weiss and Scott Jennings: state media for the authoritarians. This is fucked.

Netflix Backs Out of Bid for Warner Bros., Paving Way for an Ellison Takeover

The richest man owns X.

The second and third richest men control Google.

The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.

And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

See the problem here?
