Opinion | Iran is an imperial trap. America walked right in. Trump’s decision to return to the Middle East echoes the strategic folly that undid Britain.

In an Intense Election Year, New Post Office Rules Could Trip Up Voter Registration A change in how mail is postmarked could lead some voters to miss key deadlines, including voter registration. Advocates worry the people most affected will be those already facing voting barriers.

β€œAny mail that’s getting dropped into a blue box is not getting postmarked on the same day, and likely not on the day after either,” says the leader of a postal workers’ union.

This could have tremendous implications for voting:

Dark money group offers influencers $1,500 for posts attacking Chicago Democratic primary candidate Progressive House candidate Kat Abughazaleh told MS NOW the secretive campaign is β€œfilled with false and defamatory claims.”

HOLY SHIT.

A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election.

Thank you to the people who declined the money and went forward with this. So who's behind this?

🧡 The Civilian Protection Center of Excellence, was formed by Biden's defense secretary Lloyd Austin, intended to minimize risk to civilians during war.

Hegseth scrapped the office to favor lethality.

It could have prevented the tragic death of nearly 200 Iranian children.

Yesterday, Jeffrey Epstein's former account testified, under oath, that the Epstein Estate paid a settlement to one of the women accusing Donald Trump of raping her as a minor, AFTER Epstein had died.

This would end any other President instantly. But the press doesn't care.

It costs American taxpayers $11,500 every second to fund Donald Trump’s war in Iran.

So while your money flies away to fund this war, remember that Donald Trump wouldn't lift a finger to lower health care costs here in America.

I found this today. Iran made a film short of tRump as a LEGO thumbing through the Epstein files. He then becomes enraged and fires the missile that killed the 165 schoolgirls in Iran.
The rest is them exacting revenge.

The whole world knows this is the Epstein War.

I hear you, and I respect it. But… slavery had major and measurable economic and social benefits - yes, 90% for white property owners and the remainder not divided equally, and divorced from equity, merit, or justice. But still, America’s gain benefitted both America and the world.

Opinion is not fact.

We have a real problem when perjury, disinformation, lies are acceptable and even spread as fact because someone gives or agrees with an opinion.

Himes: I have a theory on how this ends…

You’re going to see oil go across $100… Projections for economic growth are going to go down.

And at some point in 3-5 weeks, the president is going to say this is really not tenable. And he’s going to declare victory and walk away.
