Sen. Coons: The clearest winner from this war in Iran is Russia. It's stunning that Trump is on the phone with Vladimir Putin and spending more time consulting with him than he is with Congress and the American people.
A new Wall Street Journal investigation finds DHS is increasingly turning its wrath on U.S. citizens, punishing them for simply filming or observing officers.
Belle Cushing is one of the reporters behind the investigation. She spoke with MPR News guest host Emily Reese about it.
Nuremberg tribunals remain the moderate position.
Jeff Merkley: "So when JD Vance says ICE agents have absolute immunity in violating people's civil rights, he was right."
David Bier: "As the law stands, yes."
Seems important to the fascist coup underway.
Especially the bit about how federalizing local cops for ostensible immigration enforcement extends immunity to any crimes they commit as well.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was just asked about this story and she said she doesn’t have the exact number but “it’s in that ballpark.”

More bluster and baffle gab from Trump and yet the legacy media continues to kowtow and accepts the US claim the investigation into the school strike is still ongoing. There has been ample evidence brought forward for everyone, but the US, to accept.
This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat
We must get big money out of politics. It’s the root of all evil in Washington.
BUSH: Maybe don’t play golf while Americans are dying in a war.
TRUMP: 7th service member dead, tee time confirmed.
‼️ George W Bush got one thing right: war and golf don’t mix.
🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇷 The U.S. has asked Israel to stop striking Iran’s energy and oil infrastructure, warning it could harm civilians, spike global oil prices, and trigger wider retaliation against Gulf energy facilities, - Axios
Trump admin wants to preserve Iran’s oil sector for potential post-war cooperation.
Trump just claimed the Tomahawk missile that destroyed an Iranian girls’ school, killing 160 children, “could have been anyone’s.”
Question: Has someone in our government been illegally selling them to Iran, or is he lying?
Either option is bad. One is a lie, the other is treason.
Q: Can you explain why Energy Secretary posted then deleted a tweet saying the Navy escorted an oil tanker through the Strait of Hormuz?
LEAVITT: I haven't had a chance to talk to him, however I know the post was taken down very quickly & can confirm the Navy hasn't escorted a vessel at this time

Why would Donald Trump call Putin for proposals to end the Iran war quickly? It’s like a bad joke.
Trump is spending $1 billion a day waging war on Iran. Meanwhile...
Trump's sons are investing in a drone company that could soon receive Pentagon contracts.
And of course Trump's Big Oil donors stand to gain windfall profits as the price of oil skyrockets.
War is a racket.
"Trump will nevertheless present his exit as a victory. Iran will have every incentive to ensure nobody believes him. That is the crux of his self-inflicted dilemma." - excellent by @edwardluce.bsky.social:
Thousands of Americans are trapped in several Middle East countries! There isn’t blanket coverage of the desperate attempts to get out of the war zone like there was in Afghanistan. Massive fuckup by Elon Musk’s hollowed out US State Dept. No, it’s not “going great”.
So the men are basically saying 'how dare you come after our feelings with your facts' - what a couple of overly-emotional simps.
My sister used to be a devoted fan of The Five for years and then for some reason stopped watching. I thought it was because Jesse became even more rabid but that didn't add up. It was my brother that figured out it was when Jessica started. My sister hates facts so I'm convinced that's what it was.
They keep her because I guarantee she polls well. She gets out more facts in three minutes than the network does in a day.
She also doesn't lie.
Some folks compare Jessica with Scott Jennings on CNN. I'm here to tell you Jessica has way bigger balls!
WATCH — @jessicatarlov.bsky.social : “I’m saying there are problems with this operation. I don’t know how you could hear me say we struck an Iranian school and there are a bunch of dead kids and just say this is going great.”
It's difficult to end a war if you don't know why you started it in the first place.
As soon as oil went over $100 a barrel and the stock market tanked, we suddenly “won” the war. 🥴
CBS News Correspondent Scott MacFarlane Announced Departure After Becoming ‘Disillusioned’ and ‘Appalled’ With Network Under Bari Weiss: Report #Mediaite
Americans aren’t living in a democratic collapse. We are living in its aftermath. The sooner we recognize that, the sooner we can begin to rebuild. apple.news/AcJz5W4tjTd6...
BREAKING: After badly losing the war he started for no reason, President Trump is carefully considering declaring victory and pretending he won 👀
