Pentagon blocks photographers from Hegseth's briefings on the Iran war The Pentagon has not permitted photographers to cover Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's last two briefings on the war in Iran, and hasn't explained the change in longstanding policy.

Pete the Drunk Rapist Hegseth is SO BAD at his job, the GOP TERRORISTS won’t let real media cover his idiotic press conferences.

‘The cover-up is brazen’: one journalist’s tenacious, traumatic fight to expose Ghislaine Maxwell Lucia Osborne-Crowley has endured threats and sexual harassment to report on Jeffrey Epstein’s chief enabler. Maxwell’s conviction was only the start of the quest for justice, she says

“Ghislaine used to tell them: ‘If you ever tell anyone what’s going on here, no matter how far into the future, we will find you and we will stop you.’ And in a lot of ways, that promise was kept.”

Iran War Cost Tracker — $1 Billion Per Day The Pentagon estimates the war in Iran costs $1 billion per day. Track the running total in real time.

Schlumpy is destroying approximately $41.67 million US tax dollars PER HOUR on his Distract-O-War.

He and the GOP are why we have no USAID, no school lunches, no single payer healthcare. War? Always affordable.

Impeach, impoverish, and imprison his bloated orange ass.

#trumpcrimefamily | The Democratic Coalition | 267 comments Just over a year into his second term, Trump seems to have accomplished his goal: To use government as a machine to generate profit for the ruling family - with the media barely mentioning it anymore....

www.linkedin.com/posts/the-de.... He didn’t do it alone. Many GOP accomplices. #ElectADemocrat whenever you can. Not perfect, but not fundamentally corrupt.

DOJ Sitting on Documents Involving 13-Year-Old Trump Accuser Pressure is increasing on the DOJ to declassify documents that detail interviews with a woman who accused President Donald Trump of sexually abusing her.

Dozens of documents detailing FBI interviews with an Epstein victim who accused Donald Trump of sexually abusing her as a high schooler are being kept under wraps.

LOL The Republican idea of perpetuity is, "As long as it suits us or until the end of the day, whichever comes first."

Besides, does Lindsay Graham imagine Saudi Arabia missed hearing Republican Andy Ogles declare Muslims don't have a place in society?

24 hours later -- not a peep out of any House Republican leaders or any Republicans in Congress or the Tennessee GOP at all about this.

I go no responses from anyone I reached out to.

Guess they're all fine with comments like this!

"Grief and Destruction" - Marsh Family parody of Barry McGuire's "Eve of Destruction" on war in Iran YouTube video by Marsh Family

As posted earlier, this protest song is still relevant today and beautifully brought up to date by the Marsh Family. Every day we see Trump's regime's sociopathic and psychopathic, fascist & oligarchic agenda lead to untold levels of destruction across the world. Very Sad.

Exclusive: Trump's Gaza plan on hold as Iran war pauses disarmament talks, sources say Talks to advance President Donald Trump's plan to end the Gaza war have been on hold since last week when the U.S. and Israel ​jointly attacked Iran, sparking a broader Middle East war, three sources ...

Whoda thought lighting the Middle East on fire would derail the stable-genius-in-chief's Gaza peace plan?

Omg. I guess Ernst was right. We are all going to die...and the GOP is just speeding up the timeline.

North Korea is more subtle with their propaganda than the GOP is

Maga literally doesn't care about any of it...until yesterday when gas prices started going up. They were cheering for bombs dropping and calling the Epstein Files a hoax, and calling the victims liars, now suddenly care gas prices are up 40 cents.

Lawmakers to introduce bill strengthening federal anti-poverty program: It's 'a critical lifeline,' Warren says Supplemental Security Income, or SSI, was created in 1972 to help the nation's most vulnerable. Some features of the program have not been updated in decades.

SSI is supposed to keep people afloat, not force them into poverty. Raising outdated asset limits and fixing marriage penalties is long overdue. Disabled people and seniors deserve dignity, not bureaucratic cruelty. #SSI #DisabilityJustice

The war on Iran is unfolding alongside a wave of mass layoffs in the US. These are not separate crises. They are two sides of the same offensive by the ruling class against the working class.

A color photograph of Barbara Liskov, the pioneering American computer scientist, Turing Award winner, and MIT Institute Professor, standing in front of a large black chalkboard filled with dense handwritten mathematical and computer science notations. She is an older woman with short, curly hair, warm smile, and a friendly, engaging expression as she looks directly at the camera. She wears a light mint-green shirt or sweater with a collar. Behind her, the chalkboard is covered in complex equations, diagrams, symbols (including Greek letters like π, arrows, brackets, subscripts, superscripts, terms like "DB", "30sec", "Lop", "D", "T", "eichn", "P", "Joe", "Page", "aps", "uige", and various parentheses, integrals, and code-like fragments), suggesting an active lecture or research discussion on programming languages, data abstraction, or algorithms. The setting appears to be an academic classroom or office at MIT, conveying her enduring role as a mentor and innovator in computer science, particularly for contributions like abstract data types, the Liskov substitution principle, and object-oriented programming foundations. The overall mood is intellectual, approachable, and inspiring.

Computer scientist Barbara Liskov's work forms the foundation of modern software engineering.

She is best known for inventing data abstraction & the Liskov Substitution Principle, concepts that are now fundamental to how almost all modern software is written. #WomenInSTEM #WomensHistoryMonth (1/2)

There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective.

He’s not protecting others; he’s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.

At Largest ICE Detention Camp, Staff Bet on Detainee Suicides, AP Reports Camp East Montana has received several 911 calls in the span of five months about immigrants trying to harm themselves.

Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.

I worked for almost 30 years, paid my bills, including federal taxes. I saved for my future but what I did not plan was to have major medical expenses in my late 40s that would leave me bankrupt on disability and unable to work.

I never wanted free, just fair.

And Iran has supplied Russia with drones used to attack the Ukraine. That's friendship.

Gulf allies complain US didn't notify them of Iran attacks and ignored their warnings, sources say Officials say Iran’s retaliatory attacks in the Middle East over strikes from Israel and the U.S. have left some of America’s partners in the Gulf frustrated over a lack of notice or adequate defense.

Trump has trashed America's relationships across the globe. NATO, the Arab world, Canada, Mexico, you name it.

Who are our friends, now? Russia? Turkey? Our friends are countries like ours: Duplicitous, repressive and regressive. Countries who are no one's friend.

My nana puts it another way: What ever it is, the ones yelling the loudest about it are usually doing it the most.

Block lists have resulted in my account being blocked by many accounts that had followed me on Twitter for years before I left. They are easy to misuse and abuse.

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.

We mustn’t let this war do so.

Equal rights for all. Its not pie.

Now for the more real life stuff.
