Don't Forget Gaza and the Palestinians Israel is using the illegal war on Iran to continue to kill and starve Gaza, steal more Palestinian land, and restrict movement in the West Bank. Don't look away.

"Kristi Noem’s new position will not be without opportunity to further both her grift & her awfulness. She will also conveniently be placed beyond the purview and oversight of Congress. Donald needs to retain folks that have already proven their craven venality."

Another American Killed in Trump’s War Is Identified β€œSadly, there will likely be more before it ends. That’s the way it is,” Trump said earlier about the rising death toll.

Our hearts are with the family & friends of Sgt. Benjamin Pennington, 26, lost March 8 in an Iranian attack at Prince Sultan AB. Those killed & wounded in Trump's War in Iran aren't just numbers. We remember who they were and all they gave to our nation.

Stop calling it immigration enforcement DHS is carrying out violent crackdowns in our communities

This victory in Portland isn't isolated. It’s connected to a disturbing pattern of abuse we’ve seen across the country. DHS’s strategy is the same: use "law enforcement" as an excuse to terrorize communities and sow chaos.

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:

Tax cuts for the rich
...don’t trickle down

Boosting military spending
...doesn’t bring peace

Slashing regulations
...doesn’t create jobs

Folks, we’ve seen this all before.

Trump's DOJ deleted 65,527 pages from the Epstein files, covering up the truth. Info on Epstein’s death, call logs, photos with Lutnick - all gone. And Trump thinks MAGA will stand by and cheer on another needless war.

Surgeon generals usually represent the very best of the medical community. Means isn’t even a part of it, by her own choosing.

First Draft: Israel First, America Second Trump’s madman war with Iran has led to Democrats finally coalescing around a new anti-war, Israel-critical stance, while Republicans flounder with no idea what they’re supposed to say.

"On Monday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio made the subtext the text: The US launched its already devastating war on Iran for… the sake of Israel."

Read @premthakker.bsky.social, especially on the Dems' surprisingly strong response, in today's Zeteo 'First Draft' morning newsletter.

Pete Hegseth is a dangerous as anyone we may fear in Iran. He is an extremist in every sense of the word. I’ve met a few like him, Greg Kelly comes to mind. Former drunks & rapey frat bros who find Jesus when the booze goes away and think toxic violence is part of the gospel.πŸ–•πŸ»

Boots on the Ground in Iran Means Regime Change. Full stop. By Major General (Ret.) Paul D. Eaton

Talk of ground troops in Iran isn't a tactical shift. It's regime change. Maj Gen (Ret.) Paul D. Eaton warns we are sleepwalking into Iraq 2.0. Occupation costs American lives, and Congress must stop dodging its constitutional duty.

By Killing Khamenei, the West Created a Martyr – and Mainstream Media Is Ignoring the Muslim Backlash Ali Khamenei was not Saddam Hussein or Muammar Gaddafi. Killing him will have religious reverberations throughout the Muslim world for years to come.

"By killing [Khamenei], the US and Israel didn’t just strike Iran’s government. They struck a spiritual leader with transnational religious authority – and created exactly the kind of martyr that galvanizes movements for generations." - fascinating and important piece by Iran scholar Narges Bajoghli

Meiselas: Trump is a parody in the most extreme sense of the boogeymen MAGA created to go after Dems. He’s quite literally all of it. He covers up the pedo ring. He starts wars everywhere. He uses government to tread on people.

He's the most extreme example of what they claimed they wanted to stop.
