Trial by jury - flawed but still an essential option if we want justice to be preserved.

Reporter seeking freedom of speech in the US arrested for exercising freedom of speech in the US

"This is the most blasé admission of a war crime by a US president in history.

Trump has just disclosed, without prompting, that the US Military committed a war crime - literally just to brag & make his Republican audience laugh about unnecessarily killing 100+ Iranians instead of capturing them."

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics. It’s the root of all evil in Washington.

Confirming what we all knew; Trump lies and Trump‘s regime kills children.

Y’all.

So he’s surrendering without accomplishing any of his stated objectives while declaring victory. Exactly what we said would happen.

‘A very dangerous person’: alarm as Pete Hegseth revels in carnage of Iran war Critics say brash, bombastic Fox News host out of his depth to guide US military through murky new Middle East conflict Brash and bellicose, he sounded more like a cartoon bully than a sombre statesman. “Death and destruction from the sky all day long,” Pete Hegseth, wearing a red, white and and blue tie and pocket square, bragged to reporters at the Pentagon near Washington. “This was never meant to be a fair fight, and it is not a fair fight. We are punching them while they’re down, which is exactly how it should be.” Hegseth, 45, a former Fox News TV host who now commands the world’s most powerful military, has this week become the face of Donald Trump’s war in Iran. That has set off for alarm bells for critics who warn that the Secretary of Defense – pointedly rebranded “Secretary of War” – has rapidly transformed the Pentagon into the staging ground for an ideological and religious crusade.

The most fun you're likely to have of the internet this morning!

Pete Hegseth Blew Billions on Fruit Basket Stands, Chairs, and Crab The Defense Department went on a $93 billion spending spree in 2025.

Kristi Noem spent 220 million on her self-promotion ad and Hegseth said, "Hold my fruit basket."

I dip in to GB News and Talk because it's important to see what they are saying and getting away with.

My impression is that both are pushing the boundaries of "acceptable discourse" well beyond the limits.

Stuff like this has become normal, and it's frightening.

A lovely @nationaltrust.org.uk story - when the Aristos are allowed to stay on in their former stately pads but still threaten to shoot the public. “F*cking peasants! F*cking National Trust!”

Truly unbelievable stuff. Just up there shamelessly lying his ass off

Somali Americans hounded by ICE and rightwing ‘influencers’ on edge in Ohio: ‘I’m scared to go outside’ ICE launched ‘Operation Buckeye’ and ‘influencers’ claimed Somalis are running fraudulent businesses after Trump repeatedly used racist language against group in December

ICE agents have been turning up in cars around Somali-owned businesses and schools that teach children from immigrant backgrounds. Rightwing so-called “influencers”, including leaders at Turning Point USA, have followed suit.

📌In the hour before the stock market closed, Trump told CBS News that “the war is very complete, pretty much.”
The market surged on the news.

📌In the hour after after the market closed, he said not so fast, could be longer.

📌He just made himself and his billionaire buddies A LOT of money.

This was such a good job by the NYT's Shawn McCreesh.

He asked a very pointed and direct question to Trump about the school bombing, leading the president to corner himself (was he claiming the US sold Iran Tomahawks???) before admitting he doesn't "know enough" and will abide by the final report.

GOP Congressman Says ‘Muslims Don’t Belong In American Society’ Rep. Andy Ogles of Tennessee also called it “a lie” that diverse groups of people can respectfully engage with each other.

Later, at Mar-a-Lago...

Farage misses out on Trump meeting as their relationship cools British populist politician aimed to reinforce his view about the UK’s Chagos Islands deal in conversation with US president

Nigel Farage made a huge thing about going to the US, about his relationship with Trump. About Chagos.

But he didn’t meet Trump. He was shut out.

Meanwhile he’s furiously backpedaling on his Iran position because of the polls.

The weasel has no power.

We now go live to Nigel Farage in the car park at Mar-a-Lago...

“I didn’t vote for THIS,” say the manosphere podcasters who simply had no way of knowing that Trump would lie about being a populist to get into office and then govern like a autocratic lunatic once in power, other than the fact that he did it for 4 entire years before that.

Trump's illegal war may well be "intended to provoke a terrorist attack inside the United States. This would provide Donald Trump with a pretext to try to cancel or 'federalize' the coming Congressional elections", says Timothy Snyder, the author of On Tyranny and American historian…👇

Thoughts?! 🤔

As a seventh US service member has tragically died in Trump’s illegal war against Iran

I’m wondering when this story-considering all the classified intel Trump has given Putin over the years (both intentionally and due to his administration’s incompetence)-is finally going to gain some traction

How many Americans will die for these cosplay Crusaders?
