“President Trump's decision to bomb Iran is indefensible. This was not about preempting an imminent threat—it was a strategically misguided power play, with no discernible endgame,” Cato Institute’s Jon Hoffman says.

The Daily Show reminded us in the montage below how Netanyahu has LIED about the "imminent" threat of Iran obtaining nuclear weapons since 1995. Netanyahu has for years wanted US to bomb Iran. Netanyahu simply found in Trump a moron willing to sacrifice Americans for his cause:

Over half of Americans say health care, a weeklong vacation, and a new car are unaffordable; nearly half have at least some debt, a new ABC News/WaPo/Ipsos poll finds.

As Trump ramps up his warmongering with Iran, his own son-in-law Jared Kushner — who is leading negotiations with Iran — stands to profit from lucrative contracts with its regional rivals.

The Trump family's insatiable greed endangers us all.

In Rep. Tony Gonzales, Republicans have a sexual predator in their midst who relentlessly pursued a married staffer which ultimately resulted in her suicide, and they refuse to do anything about it because they need his vote.

That is the 2026 Republican Party.

They won't start with banning birth control. First they'll lie about it. Then dictate who can prescribe it, use it, fund it, in what forms, and for how long. Suddenly, your doctor won't call you back. I know this is what they'll do because it's what they're doing to transgender healthcare right now.

The Supreme Court's tariff decision means the government may have to pay corporations $175 BILLION in refunds.

Corporations raised prices and passed those costs off to you.

Your family likely paid $1,700 in tariff fees last year.

And corporations are getting the refund.

Scam.

On Prince Andrew being arrested Trump says “I think it’s a shame, I think it’s sad, I think it’s so bad for the Royal Family.” He always sympathizes with the criminals. Wonder why?

UK blocking Trump from using RAF bases for strikes on Iran The disagreement over the use of British sites is behind the US president’s withdrawal of support for the Chagos Islands deal, The Times understands

"The Times understands that the UK is yet to give permission for the US to use the bases in the event that Trump orders a strike on Iran, owing to concerns that it would be a breach of international law."

This is a BIG deal given the US-UK military relationship.

This is what I’ve been talking about for weeks now.

There’s still a potential (read: very very small) for an off-ramp, but they aren’t sending all this hardware into the region for nothing.

Trump family business files for trademark rights on any airports using the president's name The Trump family company wants to trademark the use of the president’s name on any airports but says it doesn’t plan on charging a fee — at least for a proposed renaming of one near his Florida home.

Donald Trump has spent a lifetime slapping his name on failing casinos and steaks. Now he wants our public airports.

What’s next — Trump‑branded Border Patrol uniforms? Trump‑branded Supreme Court robes?

The presidency is a public trust, not a licensing opportunity.

LEFT: Someone who appears in the Epstein files over a million times. Epstein called him his "best friend."

RIGHT: Someone never mentioned in the Epstein files—even once. And she never met him.

So guess which one is being hauled before our corrupt, cover-upping Congress to testify about Epstein.

Trump's Caribbean Surge Nears $3 Billion Price Tag So Far The operations around Venezuela that eventually led to the capture of its president pulled in nearly a fifth of the US Navy’s surface fleet at a cost of more than $20 million a day.

Bloomberg says we've spent $3B on Trump's invasion of Venezuela.

Which is 6X more than the cancer, Alzheimer, diabetes, and heart disease cures they've cut to pay for it.

US ambassador to NATO: America is 'not leaving' Europe His comments are part of a more conciliatory tone American officials are taking during the Munich Security Conference.

No one in Europe believes anything the Trumpist Americans say anymore. We might pretend we do. But that's stalling for time whilst we get our shit together and 'decouple'. But we don't and cannot trust America. It's over.

They're not stopping at your birth certificate. SAVE 2.0 would END online voter registration in, KILL mail-in registration, and STOP voter registration drives.

It's a full-scale attack on your right to vote.

It only took them 12 months to build massive concentration camps all over the USA. You’d think there would be more uproar, but no. No one cares unless it’s in their backyard.

Black farmers are getting shut out by the Trump administration.

John Boyd, president of the National Black Farmers Association, says the WH told him, they are “moving away from DEI and small farm issues, and they were focusing on large-scale white farms… because they produce the most food.”

Toddler hospitalized with respiratory failure was returned to ICE detention without prescribed medication, lawsuit says The 18-month-old was sent back to a South Texas facility after days in intensive care with severe respiratory distress, according to a federal lawsuit.

NEW: A baby held in immigration detention became so sick, she had to be rushed to a hospital in severe respiratory distress.

“She was at the brink of dying,” a lawyer told me.

But the girl didn’t go home after her 10-day hospital stay; instead, ICE put her and her mother back in lock up at Dilley.

Analysis: The Epstein storm could topple a world leader — but it’s not Trump | CNN Politics British Prime Minister Keir Starmer was never mixed up with Jeffrey Epstein but is in grave peril of losing his job because of him.

The Epstein storm could topple a world leader (i.e. UK’s 🇬🇧 PM) — but it’s not Trump

WHY?

Because Republicans protect pedophiles
