U.S. at Fault in Strike on School in Iran, Preliminary Inquiry Says

Not that anyone but Trump had any doubt that his “excursion” resulted in the death of more than 100 schoolchildren.

If you expect an apology from him, don’t hold your breath.

Trump Iran airstrikes decision to be guided by Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff’s advice Exclusive: Trump’s decision will be driven by envoys’ judgment on whether Iran is stalling on a nuclear deal

Is there anyone in the Trump admin (officially or unofficially) that you would trust to make a decision like this?

Yes, it’s astonishing that Kristi Noem still has her job after the deaths, lies, and failures on her watch.

But the American people have the final say when it comes to holding this entire administration - from the president on down - accountable for its cruelty and corruption.

Obamas say Alex Pretti killing a ‘tragedy’ as calls mount for full investigation Former president and first lady say killing should be ‘wake-up call’ and federal agents are not operating in lawful way

Yes, the killing of Alex Pretti was a tragedy. It was also an execution in broad daylight witnessed by several bystanders and caught on video. Yet the shooters were sent back to work somewhere else.

Why aren’t the people who murdered Alex Pretti under arrest?

Venezuela’s Machado gave Trump her Nobel prize. In return she received a swag bag but no promise of support | CNN When Venezuela’s opposition leader María Corina Machado walked into the White House on Thursday, she came bearing the gift US President Donald Trump has long coveted: a Nobel Peace Prize.

This is disgraceful on every level.

You could argue that she did it to save her country. The fact that she felt she had to should bring shame to every American.

Trump regrets not seizing voting machines after 2020 election loss President says he ‘should have’ used national guard to seize machines in support of false claim that election was rigged

This is fair warning for November 2026. If unchecked, Trump will have his military seize voting machines in “contested” states.

Donald Trump is now using DOJ to threaten the Fed Chair. Threats to an independent Fed impact market stability, inflation, costs, your retirement, and employment—things Americans cannot afford. This is clearly an abuse of power.

Trump and RFK Jr will be responsible for an increase in infant mortality, which will result from fewer babies receiving vaccinations.

I’m sure Trump would call Esper’s refusal a seditious act. Because Trump sees himself as a king not a president; his subjects must be loyal to him, not the Constitution.
