I keep thinking that if Donald Trump had gone to prison for January 6, as he should have, all those Iranian schoolgirls would be having dinner with their families this evening.

The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled.

A truly extraordinary moment.

We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.

All Hegseth does at his press conferences is make bloodthirsty taunts and recite his holy scripture.

Secretary Of Defense Hegseth Casually Promises Iranians β€˜No Quarter’ – A War Crime The term is defined as refusing to spare surrendering troops and killing them instead, a clear violation of the Geneva Conventions.

Hegseth spent the years before he was made Secretary of Defense defending convicted war criminals on the theory that virtually nothing is a war crime.

Trump chose him to be the civilian head of DoD *so that he would order war crimes committed*.

Everything he's doing is what he was appointed to do.

Yes, It’s Finally Time to Talk About Trump and Treason A lawyer who for a decade opposed discussions of Trump and Treason as premature says the Second Iran War and recent revelations in the Epstein Files make it not just a necessary but urgent topic.

It's time. I've opposed this conversation for a decade, as the legal standard hadn't been met. Now the standard for launching a criminal investigation clearly has beenβ€”and the Democrats *can* and *must* launch their own probe so they are ready (if facts warrant) to impeach Trump for Treason in 2027.

Putin Personally Oversaw Forced Deportation of Ukrainian Children to Russia, UN Report Confirms UN inquiry says Russian leadership, including Putin, directed systematic transfer of Ukrainian children to Russia, qualifying as crimes against humanity.

🚨 UN confirms Putin personally oversaw the systematic forced deportation of Ukrainian children.

A new report classifies the deportation of Ukrainian children as "crimes against humanity," detailing a state-run system of indoctrination and illegal citizenship changes.

In the 1920s, there was an enormous Klan-aligned caucus in the House of Representatives that passed an immigration restriction bill designed to keep out Catholics and Jews because they supposedly posed an existential threat to American civilization. 100 years later, here we are.

A War Still in Search of a Mission Changing your mind about the goals of war after you’ve started one is never a good idea

Michael McFaul: "It is a reflection of our current political environment that Trump has been able to take the United States into a war that few Americans wanted, that he never mentioned on the campaign trail, and that received neither congressional authorization, nor UN or NATO approval."

If the government really is worried about Iranian sleeper cells, then it was probably a mistake to systematically reorient the majority of US counterterror resources toward arresting immigrant grandmothers and five-year-olds in bunny hats

MY Senator! Love both Ossoff & Warnock, two of the very best. Sen. Ossoff is a young & dynamic speaker, with amazing gravitas at the right moments.
Warnock is also a great orator; he is the minister of the same church that had MLK as its minister.
Be sure to throw some support to Ossoff if able.

Ossoff: "The WH put out a video depicting this war as a video game. When service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, & even more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this WH treats war like a game. It's a disgrace. And it speaks to a moral rot."

We are a nation of 349M, yet one man decided to launch our nation into a reckless, illegal war without congressional authorization or counsel or the support of the American people. He didn’t think he had any duty to sell it or serve the people’s interests. This is why despotic rule is so dangerous.

Search-and-rescue crews were β€œflying blind” trying to rescue survivors from deadly tornadoes that hit the Midwest last week.

Why? Because Kristi Noem hadn't approved FEMA’s $200,000 contract with a tornado-tracking tool.

But she had time to spend $220 million on anti-immigrant ads. Priorities.

Historians of the collapse of American global dominance will need to balance a long-term structural shifts that were more or less inevitable with short-term stupidity that made that collapse much faster and more costly than it could have been.
