The United States and Israel have begun their air campaign to destroy Iran's military and Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has been killed along with almost all his senior military leadership. Ukraine is expressing their support for the operation and Russia is condemning the action.
On a lighter note, good roasting Chancellor Merz!
Germany's leader will have a good after-dinner speaking career when he leaves office, judging by his Trump impression and take-down!
🇶🇦 US Embassy in Qatar urged American citizens to seek safe havens amid Israeli strikes on Iran.
❗️Iranian media report that the Intelligence Ministry, Defense Ministry, the compound of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, and the Iranian Atomic Energy Organization in Tehran have been targeted.
“I know this is going to sound naive or earnest, but I genuinely find myself shocked by how little people seem to be upset by the levels of corruption we’re seeing. Is that the median voter assumes everyone is corrupt? Or isn’t actually getting stories about the corruption?”

❗️Thread #1. US-Israel - Iran War
Three explosions have just occurred in Tehran.
Preliminary information: preventive actions by Israel.
Oh great. Another war. Israel and U.S. at the forefront of it.
Because of “weapons of mass destruction.”
It’s 2003 all over again.
U.S. is participating in Israeli strikes against Iran, AP reports

We are the laughing stock of the world.
Very Powerful

Great sitting down with Brian Tyler Cohen to talk about everything from the courage we saw in Minnesota, to how Democrats can be true to our values and get stuff done, to how we’re building a community of changemakers at the Obama Foundation. youtube.com/watch?v=uI-hgSE5QIw
"Putin is beatable. Russia's economy is a joke, and their forces on the ground are garbage."

Political extremism in America is destroying our democracy. An easy solution if there is the political will in 2029 to amend the Constitution would be to implement "top-two" or "jungle" primaries to replace our current political primary system.
That #Trump will never help #Ukraine is old news.
But why isn't he helping #Iran?
Because US military forces are massed near Venezuela, where Trump is stealing their oil. Not to MAGA, but to enrich himself.
The US has now become #Russia; a mafia state. A shithole country.

Republican South Carolina state Rep. RJ May sentenced to 17.5 years in federal prison today.
5 counts of distributing child sex abuse material.
He shared hundreds of images of kids, including pictures of adults raping seven-year-olds.
Moms of Liberty had named him its Legislator of the Year.
And here we are: the entire transatlantic alliance is now talking about Greenland, instead of talking about ending the war in Ukraine.

Trump removed Maduro from power but is refusing to recognize Venezuela's democratically elected president as the new president.
Trump only wants to swap out an anti-American dictator with a pro-Trump dictator in Venezuela so he can take their oil.
Suburbia implementing Trump foreign policy.
Fire Point drone engines now have 97% Ukrainian parts, continuing to reduce need for imported components.
This will be an important factor for EU defence production: how to prevent import bottlenecks and dependence on potentially-unreliable suppliers if a larger conflict erupts.
💔 The Russian army attacked Kyiv on the night of 4-5 January, causing fire at a medical facility and killing one person.
