Trump Humiliated as Viral Exchange With Journalist on Iran Backfires Badly
As Trump continues to struggle to explain why he’s bombing Iran, the author of a new piece on his awful justifications explains why this conflict is the most unpopular war in U.S. history.

BIG political win for former U.S. Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi endorses Dunn in competitive Democratic primary for U.S. House seat in Maryland .. Pelosi’s home state.

“.. When past presidents balked at the possibility of war with Iran, they weren’t just dodging a hard choice; they were deterred by all of the obvious reasons a conflict could perilously spiral. Nobody should be shocked that the expected is now coming to pass.”

I think Trump knows exactly what he's doing with the shoes, it's another humiliation thing.
If it wasn't, they'd just rebuy the exact same Florsheim shoe in the right size and wear that. But they know he'd notice those aren't the clown shoes he gave them, so they can't do it.
Poland is asking France and Sweden for help in investigating human trafficking tied to Jeffrey Epstein. Meanwhile, the U.S. has still not released the full files, 80+ days past Congress’ deadline.

These companies all settled lawsuits with Donald Trump by promising to donate as much as $63 MILLION to his presidential library.
But then, Trump dissolved a library fund.
So where'd the money go?
I'm pressing these CEOs for answers.
I sincerely hope the person (/people) who pushed that button never sleeps again.

BREAKING: Senate Republicans just blocked my bill to fund TSA and FEMA... AGAIN.
This isn't complicated: if Republicans won't agree to rein in ICE & CBP, they should AT MINIMUM work with us to fund TSA.
But they won't.
Spineless collaborators!! 🤢🤮🤬
I would like to congratulate Grammarly’s lawyers for belatedly realizing their shitty AI product was gonna get them class-action yeeted into the sun.
I would also like to encourage Grammerly to eat shit forever and ever amen.
The f*ck did you think was going to happen when America started ANOTHER war in the Middle East, without an actual mission, without a coalition, without a reason, without knowing what victory looks like, and without the Commander in Chief being able to articulate any actual goals? JFC people!
And the republicans think this okay. 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️

The Cabinet Office’s summary of what was known of Mandelson’s relationship with Epstein at the end of 2024. What is not clear is why this wasn’t sufficient for the PM to veto Mandelson’s appointment as ambassador in Washington
Lovely.
Most likely Trump and his Administration are being blackmailed by a foreign country to cover up the Epstein Files.

Why?
ICE confirms that the infamous Camp East Montana will NOT be shut down. Instead, they're giving the contract wholly to Amentum, previously the subcontractor for Acquisition Logistics, the tiny VA military contractor which inexplicably got a $1.2 billion contract.

I’m anticipating a lot of different answers. Which is, or course, a big problem on a lot of levels.
Why are we bombing Iran?
Please, for the love of God, Iran. Feel free to prove it.
