Chris Murphy: "I Just came from a two hour, closed door classified briefing on the war. It just confirmed to me it's totally incoherent. We are not gonna be able to achieve any of our stated objectives ... this is a disaster of epic proportions, a 10 day debacle"

In #Lebanon, violence is intensifying once again. In just a few days, dozens of people have been killed and hundreds injured, while massive evacuation orders are forcing thousands of families to flee, often with no safe place to go.

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.

Heโ€™s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner.

This is a danger to us all.

Clearly our President has no staff to proof-read his tweets. How much more embarrassing can this get? This tweet literally means nothing. Every sentence in this tweet is grammatically incorrect.

New Mexico Rep. @fernandez.house.gov joins me for the latest in the investigations of Jeffrey Epsteinโ€™s Zorro Ranch, her introduction of Virginiaโ€™s Law in honor of Virginia Giuffre, and why the war in Iran is a war of choice for Trump.

BREAKING: @nmdoj.bsky.social begun its on-the-ground investigation of Zorro Ranch TODAY. Epstein survivors have waited too long for justice.

NM DOJ is seeking credible tips about the crimes committed by Epstein and his associates in NM. You can report them here:

Itโ€™s past time for Trump and Hegseth to come clean on this. They already know the truth. What they are doing now is simply refusing to accept responsibility.

Exclusive | Epstein prison guard googled him minutes before his body was found โ€” and made mysterious deposit days before his suicide: DOJ Tova Noel was one of the two Metropolitan Correctional Center workers accused of falsifying records to say they checked on Epstein throughout the night before his suicide.

New records show a guard searched Jeffrey Epsteinโ€™s name minutes before his body was found. This follows thousands in unexplained cash deposits to that guardโ€™s account days prior. These aren't coincidences; theyโ€™re receipts. We need a full independent investigation now.

Iranโ€™s Foreign Minister says Trump derailed a potential path to de-escalation. He says Iran signaled openness to lowering tensions but Trumpโ€™s actions โ€œalmost immediately killedโ€ that opportunity, warning if he seeks escalation, itโ€™s โ€œprecisely what our Armed Forces have long been prepared for.โ€

President Pezeshkian's openness to de-escalation within our region-provided that our neighbors' airspace, territory, and waters are not used to attack the Iranian People-was almost immediately killed by President Trump's misinterpretation of our capabilities, determination and intent. If Mr. Trump seeks escalation, it is precisely what our Powerful Armed Forces have long been prepared for, and what he will get.
Responsibility for any intensification of Iran's exercise of self-defense will lie squarely with the U.S. Administration.
Mr. Trump's week-long misadventure has already cost the
U.S. military $100 Billion, in addition to the lives of young soldiers. When markets reopen, that cost will balloon and directly be transferred to ordinary Americans at pumping stations.
Mr. Trump's own National Intelligence Council, representing input from the 18 intelligence agencies of the U.S., determined that war on Iran is destined to fail.
I also warned Mr. Trump's envoys that war will not improve their bargaining position. Were these warnings conveyed?
The American People voted to end involvement in costly quagmires in the Middle East. Instead, they have ended up with an Administration that Netanyahu, after decades of failed attempts, finally managed to dupe into fighting Israel's wars.
This is a war of choice pursued by a small cabal of Israel Firsters', and 'Israel First' always means 'America Last'.

If your Family History Society are reluctant to embrace the idea of hosting hybrid events (i.e. an in-person audience AND a live-stream) get them to speak to Bedfordshire FHS. My talk on Friday was expertly handled, accommodating 30 in the hall and 40 watching via Zoom.

White House: the witnessโ€™sย allegations are โ€œcompletely baselessโ€ and โ€œbacked by zero credible evidence.โ€

Fact: FBI found her credible enough to interview repeatedly, and she received a financial settlement from the Epstein estate.

DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate โ€” and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.

He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.

The grift continues.
