Dire Straits: The Iran War Is Run by Idiots Also: Americans don't care about process. So they will get corruption.

Everyone who thinks seriously about war understood *exactly* what this would look like. It's just that the people who started the war didn't think seriously.

Video of our brave American soldiers being murdered because Trump had a “feeling.” This is Trump’s war. The blood of these men and women are all over him.

Tweet showing FPV drone footage Woofers • @NotWoofers For the first time, a U.S. base has been attacked by FPVs. Footage released on pro-Iran channels shows a FPV drone belonging to a PMF group targeting the American base at Camp Victory just outside Baghdad. 20280

It's been a long time since the American public has seen graphic video of American soldiers getting killed. FPV drones change this battlefield footage situation completely.

Iran-US war latest: Trump vows to ‘bomb the hell’ out of Iran shoreline US president urged the UK, China, France and others to send ships to end the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz

Trump told NBC News that he is not ready to make a deal with Iran, and suggested he might continue bombing Kharg Island – a critical island for Iran’s oil exports – “just for fun.” Trump made his plea as he warned the US will continue “bombing the hell out of the shoreline” of Iran.

Laura Loomer confronted on anti-Indian posts during New Delhi trip The right-wing conspiracy theorist, who is close to President Donald Trump, said in 2024 that the White House would ‘smell like curry’ if then-Vice President Kamala Harris became president

The right-wing conspiracy theorist, who is close to President Donald Trump, said in 2024 that the White House would ‘smell like curry’ if then-Vice President Kamala Harris became president. It was one of several anti-Indian bigoted comments that were read back to her.

Look, it is a sign of strength and success when you try to censor press coverage of your unnecessary war.

My God.

Love all of this

Fuel more unnecessary killing and ???

Lev is suggesting what many of us have suspected: that Maduro is being set up to take the fall for Trump's fake stolen election claims so Trump can take control of elections.

Even you have to admit the strategic genius of starting a trade war with every country on earth, and then begging them to fight your dogshit war you started over nothing.

Paxton vs. Cornyn Is a Choice Between Two MAGA Flavors Both are awful. Both are Trumpy. One also happens to be extravagantly corrupt.

Would you like your MAGA with or without a side of corruption? ICYMI @jilldlawrence.bsky.social: lnk.thebulwark.com/4b6oaUl

The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled.

A truly extraordinary moment.

We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.

Act like it.

“Section 14 of the Press Law ordered editors ‘to keep out of the newspapers anything which…tends to weaken the strength of the German Reich, outwardly or inwardly.’”

Trump a week ago: Sorry UK - no need to send ships to the Gulf as "We don't need people that join Wars after we've already won".

Trump today: Could the UK and others send their ships to the Gulf?

The SAVE Act is a massive voter suppression bill -- and folks should definitely be resisting it. It's been motivated and justified by conspiracy theories about election fraud. But we don't need new conspiracy theories (about DOGE, stolen SSNs, and future fraud) to justify pushing back against it.

Those just ‘obeying orders’ are just as guilty

Well said🏆

Zelensky states Russia transferred drones to Tehran and is sharing military intelligence on US bases in the Middle East with the Iranian regime. Zelensky said Russia's position is explicit: if Europe and the US share intelligence with Ukraine, Russia will share intelligence with Iran. #Ukraine

There is nothing like the sound and smell of a supersonic cookoff to make your evening special!

Iran is „threatening“ Ukraine, because of Ukraine’s assistance delivered to any country which is currently under Iranian drone attack.

Can you imagine, Iran „suddenly“ assisting Russia?

The only thing good I can say about him is he did call for the release of the Epstein files. Nothing else. That’s all I’ve got.

The first thing he says when trying to define the American Dream is that he wants to be able to get married, and then the first "threat" to that dream he identifies is schools treating LGBT people as equal.

Yeah man, they want to be able to get married to the person they love and everything.

I've studied the way broadcasting was censored by Главлит in the Soviet period, and by the Ministry of Propaganda (Роскомнадзор) under Putin. Trump's system is far, far cruder.

Thank you for this. Important reading to be sure.
