Chris Murphy: "I think it's likely the United States that carried out this attack on this school. I think it's unforgivable under any circumstances, but the fact this was one of our first targeting decisions speaks to the incompetence of our leadership at the Dept of Defense."
Might I suggest that the U.S. Congress publicly debate, deliberate, and vote on going to war beforehand.
You know, as required by the U.S. Constitution.
Worth watching the whole clip, but purely in propaganda terms it seems to me, admittedly just an amateur observer when it comes to war fighting, that it may be useful to send the message to the 91+ million Iranian civilians that we are not trying to kill them.
The Republicans seem to be prepping an argument that any domestic terror attacks in the aftermath of their Iran attacks will be the fault of Democrats for shutting down DHS funding, so I'd like to remind everyone of this appointment:
Obscene abdication of the constitutional order.
This entire Hegseth speech is a confession to war crimes and crimes against the Constitution
we have a psychotic, murderous, christian nationalist as secretary of defense
Our wars are about destroying nations!
"No stupid rules of engagement" means no Geneva Conventions or other international humanitarian laws, which the U.S. signed and supported for more than a century.
Hegseth and Trump are pro-war crimes.
A new low, even for this regime.
The gap between how cool he thinks he sounds and how he actually sounds would take light eight centuries to traverse.
I don't understand this coordinated response of Dems going, "Trump owes us an explanation for attacking Iran!"
Do they expect his failure to provide one will produce a politically advantageous gotcha? Come on. Just say the war is stupid, wasteful and it should cease. Stop being weak and terrible.
Pretty impressive opsec. Those drapes go almost all the way to the ceiling.
Susie Wiles is wearing an Apple Watch during a highly classified meeting on Iran.
Unreal.
In answer to some queries: this is not a joke, Melania Trump actually is presiding over a UN Security Council meeting Monday, and apparently they scheduled that knowing they were going to launch an illegal war on Saturday morning
Trump points at Democrats and says, "these people are crazy. I'm telling you. They're crazy." (Note that Pete Hegseth and the rest of the cabinet are standing and cheering.)
Meher Baba was the best thing to ever happen to Myrtle Beach.
Breaking MS NOW:
Agents with the FBI's elite evidence response team were delayed in reaching the scene of a mass shooting at Brown U. in December because there was no FBI plane available.
Kash Patel was in south Florida at the time with one of the FBI's two available jets.
who is the monchichi with the nostrils taking selfies?
And so, for jackasses like me, the steady, relentless demonstration of how wrong we were about the Court’s commitment to constitutional order has been jarring.
What problem is Trump's new global 10% tariff meant to solve?
If it's about leverage, ask: How much leverage do you get from a tariff that disappears in 150 days?
If it's onshoring: Who builds new factories based on tariff that disappear before the factory is built?
It's a tax. That's all it is.
👀The federal judges in West Virginia, where ICE has been pulling over and detaining people on the freeway, are literally screaming about ICE's tactics.
"It is an assault on the constitutional order," Judge Goodwin says. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

This is not normal.
Stephen Colbert blasted Brendan Carr after FCC scrutiny led CBS to pull an interview with Texas State Rep James Talarico. Instead, 'The Late Show' posted it to YouTube.
“You’re not even a lawyer,” Pam Bondi yells at Jamie Raskin, who graduated from Harvard Law School, has written several books about the legal system, and has taught constitutional law for more than 25 years.

This DOJ hearing is insane. AG Bondi is rationalizing not pursuing the arrest of rich pedophiles because the stock market is doing well for the rich pedophiles she's protecting.
one of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things
I would like to die.
