In first, CIA acknowledges 1953 coup it backed to overthrow leader of Iran was undemocratic While other American officials have made similar remarks in the past, the acknowledgment by the CIA in a podcast about the agency’s history comes as much of its official history of the coup still rema...

I wonder what percentage of Americans knows that the CIA helped overthrow a democracy in Iran in 1953, installing a brutal dictator who tortured and murdered people. Republicans keep citing the 1979 Islamic Revolution as if that was the start of U.S.-Iran hostilities. Go back 26 years earlier.

The CIA-backed coup against Prime Minister Mosaddegh which installed the Shah is also key for understanding why some Iranians invaded the U.S. embassy in 1979 (tragically taking the employees hostage). Many believed the prior coup was planned in the embassy and feared another would happen.

the most important state election of early 2026 is right around the corner… though you’d never know it by the attention it’s receiving.

here’s hoping this bolts article helps jumpstart a little more chat!

Still of President Trump at yesterday's dignified transfer ceremony as seen on Fox & Friends.

Incredible catch here.

Fox used footage from December 17, 2025, where Trump was not dressed in garish campaign swag.

Singing through the bloody mist
We’ll take our stand for this land
And the stranger in our midst

This make you uncomfortable? Good! Because this isn’t history, it’s reality and what ICE has normalized.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

They’re both spineless. I’m one of their many disappointed, disillusioned constituents. Kaine is taking the hits and the spineless positions to cover for Warner who’s running for re-election.

As one of his repeatedly disappointed constituents, we’ll see. I wish he was retiring instead of running for his umpteenth term

Spine check, Kaine. Do you have one?

Kaine deserves strong primary competition the next time he’s up, but I pray he’ll do the honorable thing and retire.

I am not a defamation or torts scholar, but boy do I have a good title for your next law review article:

Agreed 100% with @charlesgaba.com on this: the argument by Democratic Senators that they're "voting to confirm Trump nominees who are gonna get confirmed no matter what anyway" is utterly absurd, terminally naive, laughable, etc. bluevirginia.us/2026/01/sund...

I mentioned the Senators in my own state as well. Guess you chose to ignore. My concern is for the leadership of the party across the nation.
