I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.
I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.
1/ Here's what I can share:
5/ And on the Strait of Hormuz, they had NO PLAN. I can't go into more detail about how Iran gums up the Strait, but suffice it say, right now, they don't know how to get it safely back open.
Which is unforgiveable, because this part of the disaster was 100% foreseeable.
Murphy's post-briefing thread is .. not heartening.
Democrats win GOP seat in New Hampshire, notching 10th straight special election flip
Since the start of Trump's second term, Republicans have flipped zero Democratic seats.

Not great when the only people in the free world who believe and trust Vladimir Putin’s word on critical things despite all evidence to the contrary are currently running the government of the United States.
Zelensky to Trump in August: We have developed amazing, inexpensive drone interceptors that shoot down Iranian Shaheds that we can provide you in case you are ever in another conflict with Iran.
Trump: No we’re good. We’re the US - you have nothing we need. You have no cards.
Who would have guessed that the legal system in America was so fragile that a single crazy president could ignore the whole thing, from the Constitution right down to state laws?
Why does the Supreme Court and Congress let this demented moron act like the dictator of a banana republic?
When Trump said this strike was "done by Iran," he was lying, just as he lied about keeping America out of wars.
He & Sec. Hegseth are responsible for the killing of these 175 people, most of them children. They must be held accountable.

NEW: A federal judge ruled the DOJ’s replacement of Alina Habba, the former interim U.S. Attorney for New Jersey, with three separate attorneys was unlawful.
The ruling marks the latest blow in Trump's effort to bypass Senate confirmation to install loyalists in top U.S. attorney offices.
Honestly I need historians to be the plaintiffs in every case I cover because if they make it to discovery you just KNOW those primary sources are going public.
Exhibit A: The American Historical Association uploading video depos of the DOGE bros to YouTube.

CNN airs compilation of JD Vance on the campaign trail saying he would keep the U.S. out of war in the Middle East. "We're going to stop sending our young people to far away lands. We are not the policemen of the world. Our interests are very much in not going to war with Iran."
Same vibe.
More ICE human rights violations.
People, including children and the elderly, were held for weeks in Colorado ICE hold rooms, without beds, in clear violation of ICE regulations.
And it gets worse…

This is a Constitutional crisis, and it’s a family emergency.
We’re wondering what happened to our nation, and to people we once loved and respected; to our parents, grandparents, siblings, neighbors, and best friends...

The difference between the spike in global oil prices now versus 2022 is that this time the US president single-handedly caused it to happen overnight with a policy while accepting no responsibility, while the US president in 2022 was blamed for it even though he didn’t cause it.
This is an excellent point by Murphy
You want to support the troops?
Then don’t give Donald Trump the money he needs to send them to die in an illegal war that he started to cover up his connection to Epstein
He said, “Grab them by the p**sy. You can do anything,” and we shrugged and gave him the nuclear codes. That should have been the end of it.
oh people don’t want to be out in the streets? the streets that are being bombed? those streets?
🤣🤣
🚨BREAKING: President Donald Trump declared Sunday that he will not sign any other legislation until Congress passes the SAVE America Act, dramatically escalating his campaign to force the voter suppression bill through the Senate. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Hmm. Seems bad.
BREAKING: Footage that has just confirmed that TRUMP LIED and it was a US Tomahawk missile that hit the girls’ in southern Iran killing 180 people, most of which were children.
The fact that Trump has blatantly lied about this should have every single American questioning why he lied to us all.
Let’s clear this up now: Trump wore that stupid-ass white ball-cap because he’s the same man who called fallen troops “suckers” and “losers.” He does photo ops, not sorrow.
Let's take it up another level. Donald Trump does not give a F*ck about our troops or their family members.
Sooooo when’s the next “Board of Peace” meeting?
Healey: He offered comments that are detached from the reality of most Americans. I mean, most Americans right now are not out celebrating the Dow. They’re trying to figure out how to pay for housing…
Who can stop the US-Iran war?
China.
My article about how they could displace America as the trusted ally of peace in the world in a matter of weeks. Not joking.

The Kennedy Center may never recover if Trump demolishes it
Congress ordered it be a living memorial to a slain president
Trump is defying that order — & it’s blatantly illegal
We’re in court to stop it

Subpoena all of it. And him, too. The FBI found this witness credible enough to interview her four times. Enough with this cover up.
