Iran-US war latest: Trump vows to ‘bomb the hell’ out of Iran shoreline US president urged the UK, China, France and others to send ships to end the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz

Trump told NBC News that he is not ready to make a deal with Iran, and suggested he might continue bombing Kharg Island – a critical island for Iran’s oil exports – “just for fun.” Trump made his plea as he warned the US will continue “bombing the hell out of the shoreline” of Iran.

How fast does a protein fold? Real-time technique captures the moment Nature - Proteins assume complex 3D shapes even faster than does DNA, which is a simpler molecule.

Scientists say they have made some of the first direct measurements of how long it takes a protein to fold – and the results were surprising

First Amendment violation, Brendan.

I wonder if a class-action lawsuit (with 320 million of us being the injured class) might change your mind.

Do this and ALL of us will see you in court.

SCOOP. From my OUR LAND newsletter: Trump's DOJ is helping to get a convicted FBI informant tied to Russian intelligence out of prison. The lie this guy told the FBI—Joe Biden took a $5m bribe from Burisma—was the main evidence for the GOP impeachment drive. 1/2

Entire families wiped out and towns emptied as Israel’s war on Lebanon intensifies Communities displaced and destroyed while death toll rises faster than during any previous war in Lebanon

Trump keeps calling his war on Iran an “excursion,” like it’s a sightseeing trip. You can almost hear the briefing where someone said “incursion,” and he just ran with the wrong word.

The people paid to advise him are either too afraid to step in or are just fine with him looking like a fool.

“The sooner David Ellison takes over CNN the better” 🤔

Hegseth weakly whines about the media covering a “widening war” instead of peddling pro-regime propaganda — makes it clear Trump ally Ellison buying Warner Bros. Discovery is largely about censoring CNN

Thanks to Trump's war of choice in the Persian Gulf and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, Putin is raking in an extra $150 million A DAY to fund his war in Ukraine. Over the next few weeks, Putin will rake in at least $10 billion.

Does anyone think Putin will help Iran to keep the Strait closed?

Six years ago, police burst into Breonna Taylor’s home in the middle of the night and took a life that should still be here today.

Justice delayed, accountability denied, and her name still carries the weight of a system that failed her.

We remember Breonna Taylor. #SayHerName

I can’t believe we’re doing this again. More ground troops with families being sent into another stupid war in the Middle East by politicians who don’t give a damn about them.

We’ve learned nothing. Absolutely nothing.

Search-and-rescue crews were “flying blind” trying to rescue survivors from deadly tornadoes that hit the Midwest last week.

Why? Because Kristi Noem hadn't approved FEMA’s $200,000 contract with a tornado-tracking tool.

But she had time to spend $220 million on anti-immigrant ads. Priorities.

ICE agents reveal daily arrest quotas and surveillance app in rare court testimony Under oath, officers said they were told to make eight arrests a day and given special tech to help choose ‘targets’

When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.

Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning:

Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime.

And recognized as such by the US Government.

From DoD's Manual for Military Commissions.

Trump Removes Sanctions on Russia to Help Oil Flow Amid Iran Conflict

1. Donald Trump starts a war with Iran, deeply unpopular with the American people, that causes oil prices to spike.

2. Trump allows Russia to sell its oil at those inflated prices, giving Russia far more money for its war with Ukraine.

3. Trump is Russia First.

"We started a war of aggression for no reason & commenced it by accidentally bombing an elementary school & killing over 100 kids."

That simple fact is so horrific that it's just kind of bouncing on the surface of our collective consciousness. We can't absorb its full implications & significance.
