The Pentagon has not permitted photographers to cover Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s last two briefings on the war in Iran. The Defense Department hasn’t explained the change in a longstanding policy, with a spokesman declining to comment to The Associated Press.
Voters in eight states have changed their constitutions to ban slavery in prison, but nothing has actually changed for incarcerated people. Now a groundbreaking ruling in Colorado should make forced labor a thing of the past. boltsmag.org/colorado-rul...
as someone who monitors right wing media, its under discussed right now but i can tell you conservatives are absolutely terrified of the way talarico is using religious messaging against them
Didn't they or their execs donate a pile of money to Trump?
"Literally" and "figuratively" are not synonymous. Why yes, I am in grading mode.
(To be clear, Trump isn't figuratively playing chess either.)
Completely undeterred by facts. Pretty impressive, really.
We’ve known we bombed the school for over a week. The military confirmed it today, and they’re still arguing

The "realignment" thesis was always overstated. Trump made inroads among young and nonwhite working class voters, but they were clearly temporary. The evidence of this is now overwhelming.

Trump's invasion is the most unpopular war in modern US history. That matters. It shows the public is not reflexively pro war even at moments of intense propaganda bombardment.
It's really tanking with groups Trump made inroads among. Look at the numbers below! 2/

Trump's Iran war is breaking up the MAGA coalition. Among young and nonwhite working class, only *one in five* approve, per new data I've obtained. That's extraordinary and heartening to see. It's also delivering another blow to Trump's "realignment." 1/

Iran trolled Donald Trump with an AI-generated propaganda movie featuring demented Lego-style figurines wreaking revenge for U.S. and Israeli airstrikes on the country.
Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now
Legendary radio host Thom Hartmann spoke to me about Trump wants a new 9/11 to help him stay in power. The Iran war is the perfect why to incite such an attack youtu.be/Jx6EGTmIN-w?...
