"If your kid was in the armed services and you watched Pete Hegseth doing his WAR! shtick, what would you think? If it was me, I’d be sick to my stomach seeing that my child’s life was in the hands of a man with low character and lower intelligence."

OMFG!

We’re trapped inside this never-ending algorithmic scroll where our dopamine-fuelled lust for the endless new is Trump’s literal foreign policy. In three months, we’ve careered around the world in his wake from Venezuela to Greenland to Iran. Next stop Cuba.
Latest from @carolecadwalla.bsky.social:
"This means Trump and Republicans will be unable to fix the November midterms harder than they are already trying to fix them via gerrymandering, ICE intimidation, and other kinds of election f*ckery. They’ll have to face their deep unpopularity head on."
Hell yes from @lebassett.bsky.social!
A scandalous read from @noahshachtman.bsky.social in @vanityfair.com.
Rubio's BFF is an accused foreign agent and money launderer. His trial is about to start — and yes, Rubio is on the witness list.

Trump's got about 39% support right now. How is that possible?
two things:
1. fascism has a constituency
2. partisanship is powerful
I talk about both at some length here. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/why-isnt-t...
Dear Latino & Hispanic voters,
The Republican Party believes that masked federal thugs lawlessly roaming our streets, racially profiling brown & black people, and terrorizing immigrants & citizens is just a “little hiccup.” I thought you should know.

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)
🚨BREAKING: Democrats filed a lawsuit Tuesday demanding President Donald Trump’s administration unveil their plans, if any, for deploying federal officers or troops on election day. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Because declaring war would mean you have to do your damn job, Mr. Johnson!

Everything’s fine.
The US Secretary of Homeland Security just oversees the federal agencies dealing with border security, immigration enforcement and services, transportation security, cyber‑security, disaster response, and protection of critical infrastructure.
Nothing important, obvs.
Another excellent piece by @paulwaldman.bsky.social in @atrupar.com’s PN.
“He has no national security experience, no law enforcement experience, and no experience in immigration or any of the other issues the department deals with.
On the other hand, he did run his family’s plumbing business.”
Another edition to the collection!

Pentagon today: the war is just getting started!
Their commander in chief, less than an hour later: "the war is very complete"
What an honor to receive @hrc.org’s 2026 Ally for Equality award at HRC South Florida’s annual dinner.
Silence is not civility. Silence is complicity. As an ally, we must be louder because progress has never come from silence.
These times demand the courage to stand up & fight back for equality.

If Iran does anything that stops the flow of Oil within the Strait of Hormuz, they will be hit by the United States of America TWENTY TIMES HARDER than they have been hit thus far. Additionally, we will take out easily destroyable targets that will make it virtually impossible for Iran to ever be built back, as a Nation, again — Death, Fire, and Fury will reign upon them — But I hope, and pray, that it does not happen! This is a gift from the United States of America to China, and all of those Nations that heavily use the Hormuz Strait. Hopefully, it is a gesture that will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP
Trump is completely flailing. He didn't anticipate the economic blowback and now he's trying to undo the past 10 days and contain the damage.
The bottom line is Trump sacrificed 8 American lives (& counting) and more than 1,000 Iranian lives (& counting) for nothing. He hurt the US & global economies, destabilized the Middle East, & will pull out with the same Iranian regime in power. There's no silver lining.
A senseless, criminal waste
Those who have tamped down concerns about the SAVE Act’s chance of passage in the Senate are wrong. Keep your eyes on the prize. The potential for a blowout in 2026 is top of mind for Trump, and there are only a few ways to avoid it.

Spot on:
"One day it’s regime change, one day not; one day Trump doesn’t care about Iran’s future, the next day he will have a say in choosing the country’s next leader; one day he’s open to negotiations, the next day he is demanding “unconditional surrender.”
Via Thomas Friedman
oh my goodness -- watch Mike Johnson, Scalise, Emmer, and McClain clap like seals for Trump for nearly two minutes straight. None of them want to be the first to stop!
Heartbroken to hear a seventh service member has lost their life as a result of this war in Iran.
Grateful for their brave service to our country and thinking of their family and loved ones.
May his memory be a blessing.
Are we allowed to get the rest of the Epstein files now?
Trump’s decision to go to war in Iran was powerfully influenced by his military success in Venezuela in early January. A US president who came to office promising to end wars was clearly intoxicated by what he called a “stunning, effective and powerful display” of military might. He was also openly
With #Trump's unauthorized war in #Iran costing around $2 billion per day, Congress will soon face a choice, writes @bfinucane.bsky.social (@crisisgroup.org). Use its leverage to force an exit, or vote to legalize it by funding it?
