Also, if you're a reporter or researcher working on Trump accountability, please LMK if I can help!

Anyways, we're now at a week of reporting that the Trump administration didn't have a plan for the Hormuz Strait, which they've responded to by threatening broadcast licenses, and now the President's out there saying "not my job."

Or as everyone who wrote those stories can say: Confirmation.

Diplomatic staff at the American consulate in Erbil were also forced to shelter-in-place when the facility came under attack from Iran before they were ultimately flown out of the country by the British Royal Air Force due to constraints on the U.S. military, which would normally carry out such a mission, according to the officials.

Amid discussions on TODAY's call to evacuate, this story from Wednesday did not get enough attention.

The Trump administration will somehow make $10 billion off the TikTok deal The unusually large fee comes after the president brokered the sale of the company's US operations to investors allied with his administration.

Lead investors in US TikTok include Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison, private equity firm Silver Lake, and Emirati artificial intelligence investment company MGX

“The government has already spent $47 million repairing and maintaining the aging ship, which is only valued at $10 million, federal prosecutors said in a court filing. And it will most likely need to spend another $5 million over the next few months to cover insurance and crew, among other costs.”

It’s crystal clear now that Trump has lost control of this war. He badly misjudged Iran’s ability to retaliate. The region is on fire.

1/ I’m going to explain to you in this🧵what I’ve learned - in part from closed door briefings - about the four biggest current crises.

Brendan Carr is threatening the media to cover the war the way the Trump regime wants. It’s one of the most anti-American messages ever posted by a government official.

Tim Dillon: "I believe they want World War III. I think the Epstein documents, it started to expose things that could not see the light of day. I think this economy is in much deeper trouble than people think. And I think this is the plan."

His whole life, Trump has always had someone else around to bail him out of the messes he creates: his father, Allen Weisselberg, the "adults in the room" in his first term. Now all those protectors are gone and he is openly begging for someone to save him from his own folly.

Exactly this. 🎯

"The Trump Administration invoked emergency powers to allow a company to restart an oil pipeline off the California coast that state officials have kept offline since it ruptured in 2015 and caused one of the worst spills in the state’s history..."

Which bar will cut Jeanine off first? The ABA or Joe's Pub?

Wow. If I contribute, I get "private national security briefings". Is that what Epstein called it?

"I ASSUMED the US Military had an active plan to open the Strait." How can people who are paid to understand geopolitics be so bafflingly naive?

Trump posted this to Truth Social where he brazenly admits his puppet-master role over censorship & firing decisions at the FCC, CNN, CBS, Comcast & Disney, among others.

So much for Bari Weiss and David Ellison's claims to be independent, free press champions.

TRUMP: “Drain the swamp!”

REALITY: The Swamp has never been more full. He is the Swampiest Swamp Monster who ever did Swamp.

Epstein revelations were trending. Then Trump ordered strikes on Iran. The data tells the story:

📉 Epstein searches down 95%
📈 Iran war searches up 1,200%

War dominates the conversation. Don’t fall for the distraction.

A $37K Hermes bag auctioned at Mar-a-Lago. Meanwhile, Trump's Iran was is burning $1.43 Bn of YOUR money every signal day-unauthorized by Congress, no end in sight. Gas prices spiking. Groceries still crushing you. Let them eat Hermes! 🙄

The only risk in playing Russian Roulette is that you pull the trigger when a bullet's in the chamber. Otherwise it's perfectly safe.

The University of Florida was recently informed by the Florida Federation of College Republicans (FFCR) that it has disbanded the local chapter of College Republicans (the Local CR). This request is based on the FFCR’s findings that some Local CR members engaged in a pattern of conduct that violated its rules and values, including a recent antisemitic gesture. The FFCR also requested that the university deactivate the Local CR as a registered student organization while it looks to reorganize and pursue reinstatement under new student leadership. The University of Florida has emphatically supported its Jewish community and remains committed to preventing and addressing antisemitism and other forms of discrimination and harassment that are threatening and disruptive to our students and to the teaching, research and expressive activities of the campus community. The university also supports the rights of organizations, such as the FFCR, to take decisive action in addressing conduct that is antithetical to its principles. In compliance with its policies, the University of Florida is in the process of deactivating the Local CR as a registered student organization. When the FFCR is ready, the university will also assist it with reactivating the Local CR under new student leadership.

Many Countries, especially those who are affected by Iran’s attempted closure of the Hormuz Strait, will be sending War Ships, in conjunction with the United States of America, to keep the Strait open and safe. We have already destroyed 100% of Iran’s Military capability, but it’s easy for them to send a drone or two, drop a mine, or deliver a close range missile somewhere along, or in, this Waterway, no matter how badly defeated they are. Hopefully China, France, Japan, South Korea, the UK, and others, that are affected by this artificial constraint, will send Ships to the area so that the Hormuz Strait will no longer be a threat by a Nation that has been totally decapitated. In the meantime, the United States will be bombing the hell out of the shoreline, and continually shooting Iranian Boats and Ships out of the water. One way or the other, we will soon get the Hormuz Strait OPEN, SAFE, and FREE! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Days after declaring total victory and boasting that no other military could match the US, Trump is now begging other countries — including China — to send warships to stop his Iran war from spiraling into catastrophe.

A galactic humiliation.

They're supposed to be tech geniuses and they think "taking videos off YouTube" will work.

The crime is not just the killing of people who surrender. The crime is telling the enemy that if they surrender, they will be killed. Because when the enemy hears that they cannot surrender peaceably, the war changes from a strategic conflict to a blood-soaked deathmatch.
