An important thread. But something is missing.
The refusal of Republicans to hold Trump accountable AND ALSO to exercise the least little responsibility on confirmations would have mitigated this risk.
Joni Ernst, Thom Tillis, Murkowski and Collins all KNEW Whiskey Pete would push war crimes.
My question is this: how long are the money people going to pretend he can end the war and restore order?
The SAVE Act is DOA. Their redistricting plans blew up in their face. And now they're stuck in an ever-widening war. They know Dems will retake the House come the midterms. And maybe even the Senate. They're desperate. But all they can do is post empty threats on social media. Pathetic and weak.

Many Countries, especially those who are affected by Iran’s attempted closure of the Hormuz Strait, will be sending War Ships, in conjunction with the United States of America, to keep the Strait open and safe. We have already destroyed 100% of Iran’s Military capability, but it’s easy for them to send a drone or two, drop a mine, or deliver a close range missile somewhere along, or in, this Waterway, no matter how badly defeated they are. Hopefully China, France, Japan, South Korea, the UK, and others, that are affected by this artificial constraint, will send Ships to the area so that the Hormuz Strait will no longer be a threat by a Nation that has been totally decapitated. In the meantime, the United States will be bombing the hell out of the shoreline, and continually shooting Iranian Boats and Ships out of the water. One way or the other, we will soon get the Hormuz Strait OPEN, SAFE, and FREE! President DONALD J. TRUMP
Days after declaring total victory and boasting that no other military could match the US, Trump is now begging other countries — including China — to send warships to stop his Iran war from spiraling into catastrophe.
A galactic humiliation.
The most corrupt administration in U.S. history.

A mysterious trio of orcas, unknown to scientists, showed up in Canada’s busy Vancouver Harbour, later heading south to Seattle, Tacoma, and Olympia.
Museum of American Fascism — is what Trump’s Presidential Library should be called.
He doesn’t get his name on any buildings after he is removed from office, but we should also not forget his criminality, the full extent of which is currently unknown.

@steveinskeep.bsky.social: "They're extremely powerful, but a couple thousand Marines is not very many in the context of a country like Iran. ... The president is clearly comfortable escalating in a way that entails greater risk for Iran, but also greater risk for the United States and the world."
this is beyond parody, folks. a complete mockery of the DOJ.
Kudos to ProPublica for this work.
shocker.
Donald Trump is notorious for filing lawsuits at the drop of a hat. He's filed over 4,000 of them. Many for defamation.
But Donald *will not* sue Ted Lieu for defamation. Why? He's been told by lawyers that in defamation actions, truth is an absolute defense.

It sure is gorgeous hiking up that way in summer, though. The PCT traverses right across Snoqualmie Pass area. Also, lots of great hiking in the I-90 corridor there in the summer.
It get that way. :-)
