And Donald Trump Jr is on the Board for both of these malevolent enterprises that bet on wars. How is there no conflict of interest and any standard of decency. Next they’ll be betting on casualties. Americans should be outraged - I hope voters are.

Trump Wins $60 On Kalshi Betting He’ll Bomb Iran

Traders on Kalshi assumed they had won a fortune by correctly betting on the death of Iranian leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, but Kalshi froze the payout.

The outrage has intensified scrutiny into the explosive rise of prediction markets. https://wapo.st/4aRAgk7

Yep. Sending oil prices to the moon before NASA can get there has been Putin's play since Venezuela. His scruffy little bitch just wants a pat on the head.

Russia is providing Iran intelligence to target U.S. forces, officials say The targeting information has included the locations of American warships and aircraft in the Middle East, the officials said.

This is interesting. But it is more interesting that Trump is rewarding Moscow for doing this by helping Russia sell oil, repeating Russian propaganda points, and senselessly burning through weapon stocks.

Tragedy and farce, at the same time.

Yes. And we have to talk about this now, because talking about it is the first step to making it seem like a callous crime rather than a surprising emergency.

The brutality of war measured in children’s lives as hostilities escalate in Iran Statement by UNICEF in the Middle East and North Africa

UNICEF is deeply concerned about the deadly impact the ongoing military escalation in Iran is having on children. Approximately 180 children have reportedly been killed and many more injured.

Full statement by UNICEF in the Middle East and North Africa:

Consider the source.

MASSIE: “Iran is not Venezuela. The Ayatollah was not a president. He was a religious leader… 🇺🇸 & 🇮🇱 turned him into a martyr, expended billions, 6 🇺🇸 families must now lay to rest their sons & daughters. And for what? This administration can't even give us a straight answer.”

Calling in the Clinton’s in for a closed-door testimony while ignoring other widely implicated individuals is no mistake. This is an active, and massive, cover-up.

Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. But right now, they’re under attack.

Several Republican-controlled states have redrawn their congressional maps to give themselves an unfair advantage in the midterm elections.

I highly suggest you watch this video then remind yourself that this is America (the so-called best country in the world).

After Khamenei, What Now? Iranians want democracy. Trump wants a brief conflict. Neither seems likely.

Despite Trump’s calls for a mass uprising of Iranians to reclaim their country, there is no credible ready alternative to the current regime, the pro-democracy Iranian writer and Atlantic contributor Arash Azizi tells Hanna Rosin on Radio Atlantic:

Bibi Netanyahu’s Greatest Gamble October 7 transformed—and radicalized—Israel’s longest-serving leader and the country he governs.

For many years, including during the first Trump administration, Netanyahu and Israel refrained from launching the risky, high-stakes war on Iran they are now waging, Yair Rosenberg argues. He explains what changed—and what it means going forward:

Trump Has Given America a Constitutional Dilemma Congress should not have to argue over whether to trigger the War Powers Resolution, and certainly not in the midst of conflict.

What are the options for Congress and the American people—the majority of whom do not support the conflict in Iran—to regain some control over a president conducting a war as he sees fit? @radiofreetom.bsky.social explores:

Is Trump finally going to take accountability for lying to the American people back in June?

FBI Director Kash Patel fires Iran Counterintelligence Experts..why?? Why no? Does the President want another Sep.11 so he can call off elections due to a National Emergency..someone of a higher stature needs to speak up!! US Citizens are in grave danger and so is military.

GOP voters, not congressional leaders, are poised to take action on Tony Gonzales The embattled Texas Republican could see his House career end in Tuesday’s primary. But his colleagues aren’t eager to see a quick exit.

Many of Tony Gonzales' colleagues hope Texas GOP voters will end his House career in Tuesday's primary – and some are openly predicting he’ll lose.

The embattled Republican is accused of having an affair with a staffer who later died by suicide.

That stroke gave us a deranged Trump acolyte. He needs to go.
