He was warned but went with his β€˜I know best’ impulse instead.

β€œThe president told his White House team that Tehran would likely capitulate before closing the strait, the world’s most vital shipping lane”

Trump Knew the Risk of Iran Blocking the Strait of Hormuz. He Still Went to War. The president told his White House team that Tehran would likely capitulate before closing the strait, the world’s most vital shipping lane.

CNN: Trump underestimated problem of Hormuz
Trump: FAKE NEWZ!!
WSJ: Trump's advisors didn't underestimate the problem, Trump kept the smart ones out of the room and ignored what contrary advice he got

β€” You witnessed the fatal Capitol Police shooting of Ashley Babbitt during the January 6th riots. You called the officer who shot Babbitt a β€œhero,” and praised him for saving lives that day.

Donald Trump has called that same officer a β€œthug,” a β€œcoward,” and a β€œmurderer.” How can you work for someone who is spreading lies about an incident that you saw with your own eyes? Does President Trump’s description of Babbitt’s death make you wonder if he might, possibly, be misleading the public about other things?

UFC Fighters to Train FBI Agents in β€˜Historic Seminar’ This Week: We’ll β€˜Be Even Better Prepared to Protect the American People,’ Kash Patel Says UFC fighters will head to Quantico, Va. this week to train FBI agents and students in what FBI director Kash Patel is calling a "historic seminar."

What a joke. FBI agents are not street brawlers. They interview witnesses, uncover documents, analyze intelligence, and testify in court, usually while wearing a suit and tie. Just one more frolic for Kash at taxpayer expense.

This Trump Judicial Nominee Has a Pretty Alarming Twitter History Rarely has an aspiring Trump judge auditioned this publicly, or with this many hashtags.

Trump nominating a woman who tweets about voter fraud conspiracy theories and openly sympathizes with January 6 rioters makes me think that we are, at most, six months away from him making a judge out of someone who was personally at the Capitol on January 6

Horrific. Georgia police charged a woman with murder after she allegedly used misoprostol. Hospital may have reported her.

@pregnancyjust.bsky.social calls it β€œan unprecedented murder charge for an alleged abortion, even though no law in the state of Georgia permits such a charge." bit.ly/46W2Ezb

ICE agents reveal daily arrest quotas and surveillance app in rare court testimony Under oath, officers said they were told to make eight arrests a day and given special tech to help choose β€˜targets’

When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.

Ossoff: "The WH put out a video depicting this war as a video game. When service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, & even more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this WH treats war like a game. It's a disgrace. And it speaks to a moral rot."

Can confirm.

Further, we notified Van Hollen’s office of the ICE flight (which normally goes to Newark but was re-routed to BWI) when we learned of the planned visit to the detention facility.

They love playing β€œhide the detainees.” πŸ™„

Seems you’ve got nothing but time since your brain is gone. Keep supporting a rapist felon pedophile if fascism or being a a Nazi is your thing, but ANTIFA is clearly anti fascism, and it’s not a threat to Democracy, it supports it; and if you had a brain you’d be against fascism too.

Earlier today, Trump said Kharg was not a priority. I assume this is in preparation for the ground troops on their way there. I could be wrong, though.
