1/2
🧠 🎧 Check this out, an episode of Pediatrics On Call from the American Academy of Pediatrics about how armed conflict affects kids and teens. 🩺
What happened to the Iranian girls school was tragic and horrific, and it’s become clear it was an American strike. The President's claim it could've been Iran was always a lie. There needs to be a full and transparent investigation so that it doesn't happen again.
In addition to oil, the war has bottled up the world’s main supply of sulphuric acid, setting back a lot of heavy industrial supply chains. theoregongroup.com/commodities/...
Yes, this is an excellent piece of investigation, narration, and accountability, by Mike Baker and Steven Rich in @nytimes.com Very much worth going back to read.
The Straits have done an amazing job, and are being recognized more and more
Ossoff: "The president appears increasingly to have lost touch with reality. That is deeply concerning when you have a a cabinet much more concerned with winning his favor than giving good advice & the nation now plunged into war. It speaks to the necessity of winning these midterms in a landslide."
If you’re worried about the draft, remember the service members who voluntarily serve our country - making the draft unnecessary - and think about our obligation to them as citizens.
A maritime update to the classic:
It doesn’t seem like Trump gamed this out very well ahead of time.
As a country we have made a lot of mistakes in foreign wars over the last 2+ centuries. But I’m not sure we have ever looked as feckless, foolish, incompetent and ridiculous at the leadership level than right now.
I love the idea that *this* US government, which has been nabbing landscapers and five year olds knows where Iranian sleeper cells are but just hasn’t gotten around to doing anything about it yet.
Donald Trump calls Thomas Massie a traitor for supporting the release of the Epstein Files.
Journalists need to start asking Trump what he is trying to hide.
"Jeffrey was just one human. There's no way that he would have been able to keep up with all this on his own. We always say, follow the money, right? If you follow the money, you can understand a lot about how this operation ran."

LANDERS: Why did the FBI seize election records in AZ?
TRUMP: They probably thought the election was rigged
LANDERS: It wasn't though
TRUMP: Oh really? How do you know?
LANDERS: Your own AG said it
TRUMP: If you say it wasn't rigged, you're a rotten reporter
LANDERS: Where's the evidence?
"I don't want the president of the United States to have a cognitive deficiency."
Too late.
I may be wrong, but it feels to me like reporters are giving Trump a lot more "Yeah, no, that's bullshit" responses now than they did just a few months ago.
HUGE.
I'm not a commodities guy but I don't know how many more events like this the markets will be willing to overlook because Trump occasionally shouts, "nearly done!" at a reporter from his golf cart.
In the middle of a war with gas prices spiking, Trump’s main priority today is to campaign in the district against the Republican who got the Epstein files released.
Tweet by Melanie D’Arrigo pointing out that Republicans control every branch of government while quoting a GOP post blaming Democrats for long TSA lines.
The GOP could end the DHS shutdown immediately by agreeing that ICE should act like any other law enforcement agency.
Trump ended the IRS Direct File program that allowed millions of taxpayers to file taxes for free.
That happened after Intuit, the maker of TurboTax, lobbied the government to block the IRS from launching its own program.
Intuit also donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration.
See how this works?
(Reuters) - U.S. intelligence indicates that Iran's leadership is still largely intact and is not at risk of collapse any time soon after nearly two weeks of relentless U.S. and Israeli bombardment, according to three sources familiar with the matter.

"The spirit of liberty requires moral courage among the people who are elected to Congress... but it also requires all of us It requires us to speak out without fear It requires us to tell others unpleasant truths that they do not want to hear."
Epstein didn’t just leave behind a scandal. He left behind a financial architecture. Dozens of entities. Hundreds of accounts. Private ledgers. Corporate shells. And two quiet professionals who helped run the system...and later inherited control of the wreckage.

Lies that go wrong tend to wear on body and soul.
At this rate Trump might have to release the rest of the Epstein files to distract from gas prices.
almost literally Trump tonight
