9 MINS AGO LIVE US says it has destroyed 16 mine-laying vessels near Strait of Hormuz

We've blown up a lot of mine layers, too bad our mine clearing fleet was just decommissioned.

Fucking seriously.

This is how rich people think poor people live, when in reality everyone who's ever been poor knows very well how to live within a budget and stretch every damn dime.

Russia has been sharing satellite imagery of U.S. warships and aircraft with Iran, helping Tehran target American forces.

Ukraine, in contrast, has deployed specialists and low-cost drone interceptors to help protect the U.S. and its allies.

Russia = our enemy πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί
Ukraine = our ally πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦

Yesterday, the NM DOJ began its investigation at Zorro Ranch. Why did the FBI tell NM to drop its case in 2019? Who asked them to do so and why?Β 

That’s why this new investigation is so important. Survivors have waited too long for justice, and NM is leading the way.

I just visited ICE’s detention center in Dilley, Texas.

The stories I heard were heartbreaking.

The terror must end.

Some things we must not forget:
1: The Epstein files, after all, that’s the reason Trump started the war in Iran.
2: ICE is still kidnapping people and brutalizing them.
3: Trump does not care if there are terrorist attacks on American soil that kill American citizens.

Seems to me the whole point of the Bill of Rights was to keep the federal government from doing such things.

How can the federal government legally have immunity from the constitution and bill of rights though? Where does it say in the constitution that it doesn’t apply to the federal government? Give me a freaking break. It’s bullshit. All of this.

Muck and Magic, by Michael Murpurgo, illustrated by Olivia Lomenech Gill, is a meditative story for kids about the magic found in both horses and sculpting.

They have no problem spending a billion dollars a day on war, but fight for every penny when it comes to caring for Veterans.

Trump can walk away from this β€œlittle excursion” as he now calls it, but I have a feeling that Iran isn’t going to let bygones be bygones for a few more decades.

Dear Americans:
Your enemies are not in Iran, they’re in the Epstein Files.

There's a code of conduct that says remove your cap when the national anthem is played in a stadium so one sure as hell removes it when honoring fallen soldiers.

In contrast to the coverup of the EPSTEIN crimes here in America, there are ongoing investigations in the UK, France, Turkey, Poland, Latvia & Lithuania that is sure to expose his central, filthy role in the largest crimes against humanity case in world history. #AccountabilityIsComing

A short term excursion is when dad ends a trip to the beach early because the kids are acting up. No military person as ever described their time at war as an excursion.

It was a US strike that killed 165 schoolgirls. Mostly aged 7-12.

While it was likely unintentional, the decision to strike a military target in a densely populated civilian area was not.

Yes, difficult decisions have to be made in war.

I don’t trust this bloodthirsty regime to make good ones.
