Gen. Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs, warned Trump striking Iran could prompt it to close the Strait of Hormuz with mines, drones & missiles. Trump acknowledged the risk but assumed Tehran would capitulate and the military could handle it if it didn’t. (WSJ)

Not the brightest bulbs
And lied about it
The world is on fire right now because of him, but he's not going to let that ruin his weekend
Young people are dying overseas while the man who sent them there is working on his golf swing. For some leaders, war is tragedy. For Trump, it’s just background noise between tee times.
Thou shalt not cry over gas prices if you voted for this.
ICYMI — Trump lied.
(From @bluegeorgia.bsky.social )
Breaking News: New video adds to evidence that a U.S. missile likely hit an Iranian school where 175 people, many of them children, were reportedly killed.
Wow -- as first spotted by @BadFoxGraphics on X, Fox & Friends this morning used *old footage of a previous dignified transfer* to mislead their audience about the fact that Trump wore a baseball cap during the one yesterday
Reporter: Did the US bomb an elementary school and kill 175 people? Trump: Based on what I’ve seen, it was done by Iran. Reporter: Is that true Mr. Hegseth? Hegseth: We’re investigating. Trump: It was done by Iran. They are very inaccurate with their munitions.
this is unspeakable
There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.
Russia has provided Iran with information that could help Tehran strike American warships, aircraft and other assets in the region, according to two officials familiar with U.S. intelligence on the matter.

There have been some very bad developments today.
The lack of media coverage about the bombing of the girls elementary schools is shocking.
Look, it's just purely a coincidence that Donald Trump started a war just days before the release of FBI 302s of interviews of a victims claiming he raped her when she was 13 years old.
My prediction for The Shield of Americas is that it's a way for Trump to continue to pay Noem so she keeps her mouth shut
Moskowitz: "Let me congratulate the former Homeland Security Secretary on her appointment to be the Shield of Americas, which I'm pretty sure the president came up with when he watched the last Avengers movie"
Americans are struggling, but the President and his family are raking in billions of dollars.
Heartbroken families grieve over the 171 children killed in Minab by Israeli/ US airstrikes as tens of thousands filled the streets in mourning. 💔😢
CNN put together a montage of the regime's incoherent talking points about Trump's war on Iran
Rubio Today: It’s false to say I said the U.S. had to attack because Israel was going to attack. That’s not what I said.
Rubio Yesterday: We knew Israel was going to strike Iran, and that would trigger attacks on U.S. forces. If we didn’t act first, Americans would suffer higher casualties.
Correct
Mike Luckovich, Atlanta Journal Constitution
The glibness. The indifference. The carelessness. The utter lack of planning for a war against a country of 90M. The sickness of a man who acts on whim that will kill thousands not hundreds. The horror of a regime that enables this sickness. The broken body politic that votes in such malignancy.
Brandon Straka: I’m at the Pentagon this morning for a briefing with @SecWar @PeteHegseth on the Iran strikes. Session starts in 10 minutes.
Here's a Jan. 6 rioter posing with a press pass before Pete Hegseth's press conference, just to give you a sense of the type of "journalists" who were in the Pentagon briefing room this morning.
who made this
Benjamin Netanyahu’s son, Yair, lives in a luxury condo in Miami, Florida. The Israeli government spends $684K on his security, while three US service members were killed and five seriously wounded in Iranian attacks during the US Israeli war on Iran.
Trump returned to the WH and admired new statues installed in the Rose Garden, but won’t answer a reporter’s question about the three U.S. troops who died in combat.
Reporter: “What’s your message to the families of the service members who were killed?”
Trump: walks away.
Priorities noted.
