Whoa. This is big. "The U.S. Navy has refused near-daily requests from the shipping industry for military escorts through the Strait of Hormuz since the start of the war on Iran, saying the risk of attacks is too high for now." www.reuters.com/world/middle...
“viewed to be overzealous”
The Trump Administration could have followed the law and kept communities safe. Instead, they illegally terminated a program that saves lives and saves taxpayers money, forcing states to spend months in court fighting a battle that never needed to happen.

Has any man at the very rear of his army *ever* projected such sad main character energy?
It's almost like he wants us to forget he's a draft-dodger who called our soldiers "losers" and "suckers" and plotted illegal wars of the sort he got elected promising to avoid while demanding a peace prize
Lucifer has a point
BREAKING:
WASHINGTON (AP) — About 140 US troops have been wounded in the Iran war, including 8 severely and 108 who returned to duty, Pentagon says.
While Trump launches us into a new forever war, he’s quietly preparing to take over our elections at home and rig the midterms in his favor.
He knows he can’t win on the merits, so he’s preparing to cheat. We won’t let him get away with it.
“Now bombs are dropping and people are dying and tens of millions of people are living in fear.
And it’s all because he’s a profoundly deranged man.”
“We all understand the argument that you've made... that somehow this ad campaign on Fox News of you at Mount Rushmore has led to millions of people self-deporting… It is fraud and ultimately I think there's going to be accountability." - Congressman Joe Neguse

🚨BREAKING: Democrats filed a lawsuit Tuesday demanding President Donald Trump’s administration unveil their plans, if any, for deploying federal officers or troops on election day. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Coons: "Right now, the clearest winner from this war in Iran is Russia. It's stunning that President Trump is on the phone with Vladimir Putin and spending more time consulting with him than he is with Congress and the American people."
Can I just say: As weary as you may feel, do not turn away from the degradation and desecrations, the violations and the violence. This is what the lawless Trump regime hopes--that our fatigue will make it easier for them to consolidate their power.
BREAKING: Former military lawyers say use of JAG lawyers in Minnesota violates the Posse Comitatus Act.
Although recent litigation has focused on troop deployments to American cities, a new challenge in Minnesota looks at DOJ's use of JAG lawyers in non-military cases.
New, at Law Dork:
Warren: "It is still the case that the Trump admin cannot explain the reasons we entered this war, the goals we're trying to accomplish. The only part that seems clear is that while there is no money for 15m Americans who lost their healthcare, there's a billion a day to spent on bombing Iran."
“What matters is whether we are willing to stand together in defense of self-government. That commitment is the alliance that makes this country work.”
Trump has now conducted 42 boat strikes, killing nearly 160 people.
Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it.
He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner.
This is a danger to us all.
Trump truth social post: If Iran does anything that stops the flow of Oil within the Strait of Hormuz, they will be hit by the United States of America TWENTY TIMES HARDER than they have been hit thus far. Additionally, we will take out easily destroyable targets that will make it virtually impossible for Iran to ever be built back, as a Nation, again — Death, Fire, and Fury will reign upon them — But I hope, and pray, that it does not happen! This is a gift from the United States of America to China, and all of those Nations that heavily use the Hormuz Strait. Hopefully, it is a gesture that will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP
This is insane, untenable, inhumane language. Journalists everywhere should be sounding alarms. People need to start telling him “no”. This has to stop.
“What is happening now is the administration is making new policy, but then insisting that the new policy take effect immediately before a challenge about its lawfulness is determined,” Jackson said. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
“They failed to achieve their goals at the beginning, and now, after 10 days, I think they are aimless.”
Rattlesnakes are awesome! We have so much to learn about these misunderstood noodles www.snakes.ngo/moms/
The bottom line is Trump sacrificed 8 American lives (& counting) and more than 1,000 Iranian lives (& counting) for nothing. He hurt the US & global economies, destabilized the Middle East, & will pull out with the same Iranian regime in power. There's no silver lining.
A senseless, criminal waste
Truly unbelievable stuff. Just up there shamelessly lying his ass off
dead people walking around with no legs 🤷♀️
“Anyone who has partial cognition knows that a U.S. war with Iran…carries an immediate and predictable consequence. You hit someone, they hit back. In this case, we should be expecting Iranian-directed or Iranian-inspired attacks on American soil.”
Praise of the Week: Governor Katie Hobbs! 🗳️🌵
For vetoing the Charlie Kirk license plate bill and keeping partisan politics off state infrastructure. Holding the line ensures public resources serve all Arizonans rather than political interests. 🛡️
Thank you Gov Hobbs!

NBC’s Richard Engel: “The White House meme campaign is outraging many former US military commanders… they say only someone who has never really seen combat would think it’s a joke and put out material like this.”
