it's insane that my country's current position is that, if we don't like the leader of a sovereign nation, not only do we get to kill them we get to pick their successor
Russia is providing intelligence support to Iran to target US forces in the Middle East. I thought Vlad was your friend Donald?
AND the orange nutjob is talking about going after Cuba next, to topple their government. He’s already making them suffer via deprivation, so it’s not surprising.
Old enough to remember (because it was on Tuesday) when people were saying it would take weeks of war for oil to hit $100.
Trump’s declaration that he expects UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER from Iran does not seem to be calming markets
So road trips are out
And like, buying stuff
"An unelected son-in-law carrying out the will of an autocrat is typical in a kleptocracy. The unusual part is that Kushner is not working for the country for which his father-in-law is president."

Trump’s “I guess” answer about possible Iranian reprisals on U.S. soil and the White House’s action-movie montage are pieces of the same puzzle:
These guys want to have some fun with the war, without being bothered by killjoys with concerns about consequences.

Almost there…
TIME asked Trump if Americans should be concerned about attacks at home. "I guess," the president said.
BREAKING:
The Justice Department just posted online three FBI interviews that had been missing from the massive trove of Epstein files initially released.
They're related to unsubstantiated sexual assault allegations against Donald Trump.

"Trump Says 'I Guess' Americans Should Worry About Iran Retaliating on U.S. Soil: 'Like I Said, Some People Will Die'
Quite the headline from People.com

First poll I've seen on support for impeaching Trump over his handling of the Epstein files www.dataforprogress.org/blog/2026/2/...
Quite an opening paragraph.
BLITZER: Trump has said there was an 'imminent threat' from Iran. What's your understanding of that?
STUTZMAN: The imminent threat is they were going to continue to build - rebuild - their nuclear program
WOLF: But Trump said the nuclear facilities were 'obliterated.' So why the need to attack?
there are so many well-paying gigs available right now for saboteurs and whistleblowers
I don't know how United Nations, World Bank or G20 events go ahead properly in the US now
It's not safe for global participants to travel to the US, and in any case, State Dept just froze visa processing for 75 countries

These barbarians are destroying everything that makes society work. Kids can't go to school, patients can't go to the hospital. We are, in effect, paying them to wreck the basic infrastructure of the country
“Scrambling” to undo your own, Constitutional authority 🤡

oh, the pentagon runs the FBI now?
ive seen more articles this week about how the phrase “abolish ice” could hurt dems in the midterms than ive seen articles about how paramilitary death squads terrorizing cities will hurt republicans in the midterms
Amazing how quickly the pretext for invading a city just falls away. The circular justification in Minneapolis is now “we are punishing the city for resisting our punishment.
watching the USA collapse in real time is wild.
ICE's "presence is terrifying medical staff and raising concerns about patient care, according to five nurses at HCMC hospital in Minneapolis who asked to remain anonymous for fear of losing their jobs."

At this point it’s going to be surprising if many countries send their World Cup or Olympic teams here, let alone if any fans actually travel here to see it.
Breaking WaPo:
The FBI executed a search warrant this morning at a Post reporter's home as part of an investigation into a government contractor accused of illegally retaining classified materials.
It's highly unusual and aggressive for law enforcement to conduct a search on a reporter's home.
New: I got body camera footage from a case in which a cop used Flock to wrongfully accuse an innocent woman of stealing a package: "Nothing gets in or out of the town without us knowing about it"

goin' great for operation chucklefuck
Jacob Frey told ICE agents to get the fuck out of Minneapolis, a hugely popular viral moment, and the media has been browbeating him over it ever since. Trump flipped a guy off and told him fuck you and it’s barely acknowledged.
