Crazy video of 20 Tomahawks flying through the Iraqi Kurdish mountains near Sulaymaniyah (filmed by someone standing *above* them), seemingly fired from Navy vessels in the Mediterranean
A foreign hacker likely has the Epstein Files.
The best way to prevent blackmail of government officials, such as trump and Howard Lutnick, would be for AG Pam Bondi to stop the cover up and release all the Epstein Files as required by law.
"By trumpeting unachievable objectives—unconditional surrender, regime change—as his war aims, Trump has given his enemies the opportunity to claim survival as victory. He’s left with no end point to a “short-term excursion.” - Frank Foer

Mike Johnson rails against “Sharia law” while pushing the same idea: government enforcing religious doctrine.
He just wants his religion’s rules instead.
The organiser of the Ig Nobels awards is taking the prize-giving ceremony to Europe as he says that the US is ‘unsafe for our guests to visit’.
Fun fact: less than six months ago, Trump pardoned Changpeng Zhao, the head of Binance, for money laundering as a part of the dirty deal for NVIDIA chips sent to the UAE that netted the Trump family $500 million.
SEOUL OPPOSES U.S. REDEPLOYMENT TO IRAN: The U.S. is redeploying a THAAD missile defense system to Iran that has been stationed in South Korea for almost a decade.
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.
"It's a crazy way to do matters of war and peace."
Laura Rozen and Tim Miller discuss Trump's war in Iran, the yes men around him and the conflicts of interest surrounding some of the negotiations.
"If your kid was in the armed services and you watched Pete Hegseth doing his WAR! shtick, what would you think? If it was me, I’d be sick to my stomach seeing that my child’s life was in the hands of a man with low character and lower intelligence."

The law of unintended consequences rules.
How Pete Hegseth spends your tax dollars:

- $5.3 million for Apple devices
- $15.1 million for ribeye steak
- $6.9 million worth of lobster tail

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.
I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.
1/ Here's what I can share:
70s style office building
Hello and welcome on the Terry Sanford Federal Building in beautiful downtown Raleigh, NC where I will be live-posting a show cause hearing starting at 4:00 ET
lol come on
A shocking number of people responding to this video clearly did not watch the video. David is extremely opposed to the Trump administration's terrorization of immigrant communities. He is describing serious problems with the current laws which make accountability difficult.
Witkoff says that he and Jared Kusher yesterday had a call with Putin adviser Yuri Ushakov "independently" of Trump
By the way, I'm posting screenshots of these people because I'm blocking them right away.
Either they're trolls trying to ratfuck Democrats or they're just clueless idiots, but either way, no need to waste any time hearing their other hot takes.
In the 60s it was “suppose they gave a war and nobody came.” Now it’s “suppose we did a war and then said that we didn’t do a war and also we already won the war and we beat you shut up”
here's more context for this clip 👆 it doesn't make what Trump said about 6 year old girls any less weird
It’s too soon to tell who will win the war between the United States and Iran. But, at this point, my money would be on Russia and China. wapo.st/4ui9QzJ
representatives of the government . . . their ability to act does not hinge on the authority of the local United States Attorney, but derives from the Attorney General’s plenary power over litigation to which the United States is a party.”533 Applying this rule, courts have repeatedly declined to consider challenges to the appointment of a United States Attorney or refused to dismiss indictments even if a United States Attorney was improperly appointed.534 After a thorough review, however, it does not appear that any of these courts has conducted a detailed textual analysis of the relevant statutory provisions. Nor did I do so when I previously relied on these cases in a preliminary decision issued with fewer than four days of consideration.535 And in many cases, the relevant statement of law was either pure dicta or not necessary to the holding because of
if I'm reading Brann correctly, he seems to be suggesting that AUSAs potentially derive their authority from the US attorney and not from the AG ... which could mean that a LOT of cases might have to be thrown out (everything that was brought in an office run by a questionably-appointed trump pick)
We are aware of recent reports regarding targeted phishing attacks that have resulted in account takeovers of some Signal users, including government officials and journalists. We take this very seriously. 1/7
THE LATEST NEWS AT THIS HOUR:
U.S. SHOOK BY ISRAEL’S FUEL STRIKES ON IRAN: U.S. officials were surprised after Israel struck about 30 Iranian fuel depots on Saturday, going further than Washington expected.
Anthony Blinken says Israel tried to pressure Obama to bomb Iran, warning they’d do it with or without the U.S. Obama refused. Trump caved to the same tactic. Also worth noting: Obama’s name doesn’t appear in the Epstein tapes.
