BLITZER: Did it reassure you at all that President Trump seemed to soften his previous assertion that Iran was actually behind that deadly strike?
WARNER: Yeah, I was glad to hear it
(This is not a thing that happened! Trump blamed Iran for the strike during his latest press conference yesterday!)

This is an irresponsible, misleading post that misrepresents what Leavitt said. There's enough awful stuff happening. Don't confuse people.
Don't worry everybody, there's a 22 yo in charge of counter terrorism and Kash Patel fired most of the experts in Iranian militant groups.
Really bizarre. None of us can resist a little snark these days but Jamelle is one of the most consistently civil, thoughtful, and substantive writers out there.
Adherence to the Constitution & the law. Adherence to the truth - we were told after last year’s bombing that Iran’s nuke program was “obliterated.” Opposition to regime change - it’s not our right to tell another sovereign nation who should govern them. That’s just a start John.
The time has come. Your country needs you. And what it specifically needs is for you to post on TikTok and Facebook AI videos of Trump saying he's reinstating the draft, and to ensure loyalty will be choosing soldiers only among people with pro-Trump social media content. 🫶
When the Iraq War really went south, the initial assurances from Bush administration officials, with their serious and sober analysis, came back to haunt them.
This cutesy jokes from Pete Hegseth -- not known for his sobriety in any case -- sound dumb now but they are going to age like raw milk.
If we disagree and I’m blocking you, most of the time it’s not because we disagreed but rather because you conducted yourself like an asshole
Former sheriff of the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office John Rutherford.
I too think more networks should run "pro-America content" like handy explainers on the constitutional limitations on the president's powers and the independence of Congress
Benny Johnson X.com @bennyjohnson BREAKING: The first image of Hillary Clinton testifying under oath about Jeffery Epstein to the Republican Oversight Committee. This is the first time Hillary has had to answer real questions about Epstein. Clinton does not look happy. Photo provided by Rep. Lauren Boebert.
Benny Johnson @bennyjohnson "NOW X.com Full Shot of the Clinton Epstein Testimony currently ongoing: Over a photo of a rather funny picture with a giant nameplate sayingthe“Rep Boebert” in the foreground and way often in the distance at the end of the table, a tiny Hillary Clinton.
The Independent O @the-independent.com LATEST Hillary Clinton's Epstein deposition paused after Boebert sends photo of closed-door hearing to rightwing influencer
Hillary Clinton’s closed door testimony was just halted because that clown Boebert snuck photos from her chair and sent them to Benny Johnson.
Better headline than most (tho that bar is below Hell), but also perfectly highlights the pure toxicity of politics desks:
The speech is framed as just a game to gain or lose votes.
Engaging in its immoral content is put to the side.
I’m sure they think this is “objective,” but it isn’t!
One constant that will never change: Stephen Miller is such a dogshit speechwriter.
Dorks
Was I sniffing glue, or did Trump award a Freedom medal to a girl who (checks notes) "survived being 'trans-ed' at her school?" As if high schools swapped out dissecting frogs for assignment surgery in Freshman Biology!? No wonder the world hates us. Christ
The president, who drones on about protecting women’s sports, publicly mocked the women’s gold-medal hockey team. A reminder this was never about protecting women’s sports and it was always about transphobia and misogyny.
No doy
thinking about how Savannah Guthrie had to cancel her trip to work the Olympics because of her mom’s kidnapping but the guy who heads up the investigative body handling the case was posting pictures of himself in the US hockey locker room today lol
If you threaten to kill one person that’s a TOS violation. If you threaten to kill a million people that’s discourse.
So, it's pretty clear MAGA and the Trump Administration are just a big Cosplay Convention for losers and dorks who couldn't get girls in high school and are trying to convince the world they are alpha men.
They are failing.
Kash Patel in 2023: “I’m just saying Chris Wray doesn’t need a government funded G5 jet to go to vacations. Maybe we ground that plane. $15,000 every time it takes off. Just a thought.”
People keep talking about if Bluesky is “relevant” or if it has reach or whatever, I don’t care I’m here to have fun, do what u want
Though I hate seeing this happen to WaPo, I also love to see it for the industry
I do still get angry, but, yeah, it is true that the more distance between Kash and actual FBI work the better things will be for virtually all Americans.
Mr. Patel's aides downplayed the fun-and-games aspect of his visit to Italy when news broke of his trip a few days ago. They said it was a coincidence that the Games overlapped with security consultations he had planned months ago with European counterparts. The core purposes of the trip, Mr. Patel's spokesman said, were to meet with Italian law enforcement off cials and with Tilman Fertitta, the U.S. ambassador to Italy, and to oversee the F.B.I.'s involvement in Olympic security
Patel’s aides said he had to go to Italy to review security for the Olympic Games.
(That would be the Olympic Games that are just ending now.)
ICE is still here in Minnesota.
The only difference in the “drawdown” I am seeing is a shift from the Bovino actions that were done for confrontation and conflict for the cameras to more snatch and grabs that are no less awful, if more dispersed.
Until they are all home.
Until we are all safe.
honestly surprised it happened in cameroon cause thats how us security forces operate now
How is it possible that Kristi Noem still has this job. Imagine if you’re a family member or a shipmate of this guardsman.
