BREAKING: As many as 150 U.S. troops have been wounded in the war with Iran, according to sources familiarβ€”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)

Chris Murphy: "I think it's likely the United States that carried out this attack on this school. I think it's unforgivable under any circumstances, but the fact this was one of our first targeting decisions speaks to the incompetence of our leadership at the Dept of Defense."

As I keep saying…
Watch for the kind of attack that Israel purposely didn’t see coming despite clear intelligence from their own people who DID see it coming.

A federal judge in DC rules that Kari Lake was not lawfully appointed and that actions she took as the claimed head of USAGM "shall have no force or effect," including last August's RIFs at the Voice of America.

Many videos depict missile attacks on major metropolitan centers in the Middle East but are AI generated.

Russia is providing Iran intelligence to target U.S. forces, officials say The targeting information has included the locations of American warships and aircraft in the Middle East, the officials said.

This is interesting. But it is more interesting that Trump is rewarding Moscow for doing this by helping Russia sell oil, repeating Russian propaganda points, and senselessly burning through weapon stocks.

It's the middle of the night in Chicago. Reporters and electeds are trying to figure out why a US citizen was detained by CBP, why her phone was inside an ICE detention center tonight, and where she is now.

Also unclear what happened to the other five people she was detained with at O'Hare airport.

CBS obtained video of the DHS killing of an unarmed man in Texas that DHS concealed for nearly a year, which clearly contradicts claims that he violently rammed anyone. He is shot with his brake lights on, car not moving or barely moving. Another DHS crime.

This is an ASTONISHING level of corruption.

DHS handed a $143 MILLION no-bid contract to a company that was 8 days old, with no headquarters, no website, no prior federal work, and an address linked to a residence of a political operative.

While Ukraine fights a war for survival, its president is mocked instead of supported.

Leadership under fire looks different from politics at a distance.

A picture of the John Fetterman and the 17 Senate republicans who were running for reelection before this vote who voted against the Iran War Powers Resolution, outing them for the monsters that they are.

Rand Paul is also there because it is interesting that he voted against it

Why would you ever vote for someone who defends the bombing of an ELEMENTARY SCHOOL?

Kristi Noem wasn't fired because her DHS murders people, not because ICE is terrorizing communities and not because she has been deporting any and everyone even Americans, no way, donald loves how she's doing that... she was fired because she contradicted donald about spending 220 million on ad.
