"In short, long after this war is behind us, we may remember it as part of a repudiation of the noble historical effort that we once led to limit the horrors of war. If so, all humanity is the loser."
Nailed it.
Trump is a demagogue who not only targets Democrats with bogus criminal charges, but goes after conservative Republicans like Fed Chair Jerome Powell.
Powell’s “crime”? He didn't bow to Trump.
Today, a judge appropriately blocked the Justice Department from issuing subpoenas.
Trump to Fox: “Nobody has the technology or the weapons that we have...
“We have the Tomahawks.”
Which he said Iran used to bomb its own girls school,
Siri, define hubris:
Trump tells Fox the US doesn’t need Ukraine’s help with drones. “We don’t need their help in drone defence. We know more about drones than anybody. We have the best drones in the world, actually.”
The next six months could be the ultimate in teachable moments, with rapidly rising prices for oil, and rapidly rising temperatures. And what do you know, we have a midterm exam coming up on November 3.

“There’s no way out for Trump now. He owns the disaster that is coming.”
Russian oil revenue soars as prices spike amid US-Iran war, analysis finds flip.it/8N-tn-
When Trump said he would bring on a "New Golden Age," he was talking about his wallet.
Ashokan Reservoir in the Catskill Mountains yesterday.
Look for peace in the year 2073.
NEW: The FAA once said that pieces of space debris “pose a significant risk,” but the Trump administration has backed off a rule that would have required companies like Elon Musk’s SpaceX to remove rocket parts from orbit within 25 years of launch.
Pete Hegseth spent $2 million on Alaskan king crab, $7 million on lobster tail, and $15.1 million on ribeye steak in just one month. — But please, tell me again how the elderly who’ve worked their entire lives to get $800 a month on Social Security are bleeding this country dry.
Trump calls the war with Iran "an excursion that will keep us out of a war."
He's completely detached from reality – mentally unfit to be president.
Republicans go along with the madness because it means temporary money and power to them while our country burns.
Trump is making the repressive Iranian regime richer. It’s now exporting more oil through the Strait of Hormuz than before the war, according to tanker-tracking firm Kpler. (WSJ)
Trump has now conducted 42 boat strikes, killing nearly 160 people.
Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it.
He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner.
This is a danger to us all.
EU Council President Antonio Costa:
"So far, there is only one winner in this war – Russia."
Hegseth reads from the Bible at his update today, reinforcing the impression that the illegal war is a Christian nationalist crusade.
Hegseth on Iran: “Trump has set a very specific mission to accomplish.”
(uh, help Russia?)
Pictures emerging from today’s heavy bombing of Isfahan. Damages to the mirror works, tiles, floors, and carved wooden doors of Safavid palaces of Aali Qapu and Chehelsotoon. Both of these are within the UNESCO Heritage complex of Naqsh-e Jahan Square. These are 16th-17th century bldgs.
Sánchez: “You may have heard that Spain is alone. They’re the same people who said that when we recognized the State of Palestine, and then others followed.
“We are not alone — we are the first. Those who will end up alone are the ones defending the indefensible.”
The national suicide being committed by the Republican-led United States has no historical precedent. Centuries from now (if humanity survives that long), historians will struggle to explain how such a thing was possible.
I think Hegseth is the most embarrassing person in any leadership position anywhere in the world, a 13-year-old boy pretending to be a man. On 60 Minutes:
“The only ones that need to be worried right now are Iranians who think they're going to live.”
Dana Bash • @DanaBashCNN X.com 1/7 I just got off the phone with President Trump where he rated the war with Iran at a 12 or 15 out of 10. He told me, "We're doing very well militarily - better than anybody could have even dreamed."
Sometimes the level of stupidity is too much. It’s like listening to the permanently drunk guy at the end of the bar.
