Diplomatic staff at the American consulate in Erbil were also forced to shelter-in-place when the facility came under attack from Iran before they were ultimately flown out of the country by the British Royal Air Force due to constraints on the U.S. military, which would normally carry out such a mission, according to the officials.

The U.K. Ministry of Defense confirmed to ABC News that the RAF carried "a number of US consulate staff and contractors, at their request" from Iraq to Cyprus.

Trump apparently needed one of those allies he doesn't need anymore to rescue the Americans in Iraq who weren't evacuated before Trump shat the place up.

Meanwhile, Witkoff is meeting with the people who helped Iran do the targeting.

Trump ended the IRS Direct File program that allowed millions of taxpayers to file taxes for free.

That happened after Intuit, the maker of TurboTax, lobbied the government to block the IRS from launching its own program.

Intuit also donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration.

See how this works?

Apparently the assholes used info that was 10 yrs old to set up targets for bombing.

Ossoff: "The president appears increasingly to have lost touch with reality. That is deeply concerning when you have a a cabinet much more concerned with winning his favor than giving good advice & the nation now plunged into war. It speaks to the necessity of winning these midterms in a landslide."

Read the laughable legal memo behind the claim that Trump can declare a national voting emergency There are β€œfour immediately obvious problems” with this, legal expert Liza Goitein said.

There is no national emergency that would stop us from voting. Obviously he and his henchmen would love to conjure one for that particular reason πŸ˜‚ But truly, the only national emergency we continue to witnessed is that doddering senior himself.

So this evil regime has made it difficult to get VA benefits, forcing many vets to go w/out treatment. Now, if they become/or are already homeless, the government has given the VA power to take control of them and institutionalize them. WTF???!

By the way, if this is true, it means Noem potentially lied under oath, or alternatively was so uninterested in the day-to-day operations of DHS that she had no clue (but that would be surprising given that the winner was a firm she’d used before.

The right wing is really knives out for Noem.

The Trump administration is gearing up to kick an estimated six million more people off of food assistance programs β€” including nearly two million children.

The move would save just $1 billion a year, while Trump spends upwards of $1 billion per *day* on his new forever war.

Priorities.

Federal government selects controversial company to run Surprise ICE facility Homeland Security just selected GardaWorld to renovate and run a new ICE detention facility.

Imagine if $383 million was spent on places to live for those in Arizona who need it instead of for buying and renovating a warehouse for an ICE detention center.

This is an obscenity. We have to flip Congress.

ICE detainee in Arizona dies after not receiving medical attention for severe tooth pain Emmanuel Damas, a Haitian asylum seeker, was being held at the Florence correctional center before he died

A Haitian asylum seeker detained by ICE died after being refused timely medical attention for a severe toothache.

At least 40 people have died in ICE custody since Trump took office β€” a two-decade high.

The monstrous cruelty of Trump's police state knows no bounds.
