Schatz: We don’t know for sure, but the likely bombing of an elementary school with one of our Tomahawk missiles is not a one-off mistake. It is the result of a change in policy so that the United States has way looser rules of engagement — way more tolerance for civilian harm.
Then he could sell exemptions.
Leavitt confirms that the current "ballpark" total of US soldiers injured fighting Iran is 150
The reported push to move some air defense missile batteries from the Korean Peninsula to the Middle East comes amid concerns about America’s munition stockpiles amid the Iran War.
Materials released over the weekend by the Texas DPS regarding a homeland security officer’s killing of 23-year-old Ruben Ray Martinez last March in Texas appeared to provide the latest evidence that federal agents have misled the public about the circumstances surrounding fatal shootings.

Marco Rubio's BFF is an accused foreign agent and money launderer. His trial is about to start — and Rubio is on the witness list.

Markwayne Mullin is the same dude already under scrutiny for suspicious stock trades.
And he’s supposed to run America’s national security.

NEW: After CBP's FOIA office released a "Privacy Threat Analysis" of the face recognition app Mobile Fortify, 2 staffers were reassigned and leaders order PTAs to be mislabeled to prevent their release. @dell.bsky.social w/ the scoop: www.wired.com/story/cbp-pr...
Blumenthal after getting briefed on Iran: "We seem to be on a path toward deploying American troops on the ground in Iran to accomplish any of the potential objectives here. There's also the specter of active Russian aid to Iran putting in danger American lives ... China also may be assisting Iran"
“If the SAVE Act were to pass, it would be the worst voter suppression law that Congress has ever enacted."
Russia is giving Iran US troop locations. Trump removed sanctions on Russia. The US is asking Ukraine for help on how to shoot drones down. What the actual fuck am I missing?
Wahls: The war in Iran is going to be devastating for farm states like Iowa. You mentioned diesel — that is what the vast majority of farm machines, like tractors or combines, run on. And the cost of oil not only has a huge impact on fuel costs, it also has a huge impact on other farm inputs

Melanie Stansbury: “While this Administration is spending nearly $1 billion a day on a war in the Middle East that has now claimed the lives of 7 U.S. service members & doing the bidding of billionaires — Americans are struggling to put food on the table & a roof over their heads”
NBC’s Richard Engel: “The White House meme campaign is outraging many former US military commanders… they say only someone who has never really seen combat would think it’s a joke and put out material like this.”
Kai Trump is 18 years old. Maybe instead of using Secret Service agents as a production crew for grocery store jokes about “going bankrupt” while people go hungry, she can enlist in the military and go fight her grandfather’s war
Don’t Believe One Word From this President….
How dare her!! 🧐🤨
"When people like Kamala Harris send our sons and daughters, our young people, to fight in stupid wars, it is the young generation that carries the burden of that. We're gonna stop sending our young people to far away lands. We are not the policemen of the world."
If oil prices spike, working families feel it first at the pump, at the store, everywhere. Dismissing those concerns as foolish ignores real economic pain.
“The U.S. has intercepted encrypted communications believed to have originated in Iran that may serve as "an operational trigger" for "sleeper assets" according to alert sent to law enforcement agencies.”
I was called an alarmist when I mentioned sleeper cells. 🤷♂️

🚨🚨🚨Iran’s Other Leverage: WATER
A couple days ago I wrote about the first lever Iran holds in this war: the Strait of Hormuz. If Iran disrupts shipping through that narrow channel between Iran and Oman, roughly one-fifth of the world’s oil supply gets caught. open.substack.com/pub/thecycle...
The DOJ released evidence, which the FBI deemed credible, that the President of the United States sexually and physically assaulted a 13 year old girl AND she was afraid to talk about it because Trump would kill her—and it’s somehow not the biggest scandal in American history?

The DOJ has exposed 21 victims names in its release of the Epstein Files. They sure worked hard to redact the criminals though. Disgusting.
Lindsey’s diplomacy working wonders in UAE.
Thought I would have gotten used to it by now, but I’m still grappling with the realization of just how stupid the men running this country are.
