Gen. Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs, warned Trump striking Iran could prompt it to close the Strait of Hormuz with mines, drones & missiles. Trump acknowledged the risk but assumed Tehran would capitulate and the military could handle it if it didn’t. (WSJ)

Trump Knew the Risk of Iran Blocking the Strait of Hormuz. He Still Went to War. The president told his White House team that Tehran would likely capitulate before closing the strait, the world’s most vital shipping lane.

"Left unanswered were such questions as how to evacuate U.S. citizens in an escalating conflict—or ensure the next Iranian leader was friendly with Washington, U.S. officials said." Gift link 🎁 www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

Anti-ICE protesters accused of being part of antifa found guilty of support for terrorism in Texas Case was seen as major test of the first amendment and whether the US could use broad anti-terrorism statute to prosecute leftwing protesters

This verdict is appalling — especially the conviction of Daniel Sanchez-Estrada merely for transporting constitutionally protected zines, similar to the pamphlets that prompted the press freedom clause.

The implications extend far beyond so-called "Antifa."

Much love to our Senate Democrats for voting down the Republican motion to fully fund DHS and ICE with no additional oversight.

Please read and share. The “grassroots” support for the SAVE America Act is a lie. The campaign pushing this bill is being run by Cleta Mitchell and Scott Presler, two of the most notorious election deniers in the country.

Yes. This is transparently the plan. It is a destructive and unconstitutional plan. And it can be stopped. It can even be turned into an electoral issue that hurts Trump. But only if we face this now.

Trump’s attack on Iran and the plot against your vote Donald Trump is planning to use his attack on Iran to justify a power grab over voting in the 2026 midterms.

Trump is setting the stage to claim extraordinary powers to take over the 2026 elections — from banning mail-in voting to imposing new obstacles to voter registration. All of this will be justified on the grounds of national security. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...

President Trump is killing civilians at sea. This is illegal and immoral.

This is Nathan Cavanaugh, another DOGE staffer explaining how he flagged grants at NEH for "DEI" which would be reviewed for termination. 404 Media has reviewed hours of this footage and we'll have more soon.

"This appears to be the first administration to take such widespread advantage of taxpayer-funded military housing to accommodate political appointees who do not have a direct connection to the military..."

Absolutely, flabbergastingly insane.

After watching this shit show in Iran can we now agree that maybe having academics isn’t a bad thing?

Media must cover — not cover up — Trump’s unfitness The president benefits from the failure to focus on his broken brain

I wrote this back in October. It's media malpractice not to write prominently about the mental unfitness of Donald Trump.
Biden was old in 2024. Trump is old and out of his mind in 2026.

When this FAKATA war began, I posted that land war was not feasible with Iran because we have no way to amass forces and move them into the interior of Iran.

Any accumulation of troops would get relentlessly attacked, and that’s assuming that any Gulf nations would even allow us to use their land

This is our country. Donald Trump doesn't own America. He doesn't own the White House. Everything he does relies on our money.

We depend on Congress to represent our interests. They are failing us by allowing him to exploit our money for his personal interests. He & his party of sycophants must go.

BREAKING: As many as 150 U.S. troops have been wounded in the war with Iran, according to sources familiar—far higher than the Pentagon’s publicly disclosed figure of just 8 seriously wounded troops. The true toll of this war is already far worse than the public has been told. (Reuters)

DOJ is Hiding Trove of Documents About Trump’s 13-Year-Old Accuser Why can’t we see the all the files in the 3501.045 sequence?

🚨🚨 Dozens of documents detailing FBI interviews with an Epstein victim who accused Donald Trump of sexually abusing her as a 13-year-old are being kept under wraps.

A DHS spokesperson told WIRED on Monday, “Any allegation that DHS adopted a policy making Privacy Threshold Analyses exempt from the Freedom of Information Act is FALSE.” Internal emails show otherwise. On December 3, the DHS Privacy Office announced a "major change" that required all future PTAs to carry a disclaimer marking them exempt from public release. The disclaimer reads in full: “This is a draft document that is pre-decisional, deliberative, and is designated For Official Use Only. It is subject to the deliberative process privilege and attorney client privilege. It is not to be released, shared, or distributed outside of authorized channels without prior consultation and approval from the Department of Homeland Security Privacy Office. Unauthorized disclosure may result in administrative, civil, or criminal penalties.”

DHS's press office straight up lied about this. But they didn't know I had receipts.

DHS Ousts CBP Privacy Officers Who Questioned ‘Illegal’ Orders Department of Homeland Security leaders removed top privacy officers who objected to mislabeling government records to block their public release, WIRED has learned.
