Take it from those who actually know:
President Trump: "Monumental Damage was done to all Nuclear sites in Iran, as shown by satellite images. Obliteration is an accurate term! The white structure shown is deeply imbedded into the rock, with even its roof well below ground level, and completely shielded from flame. The biggest damage took place far below ground level. Bullseye!!!"

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth: "Based on everything we have seen - and I've seen it all - our bombing campaign obliterated Iran's ability to create nuclear weapons. Our massive bombs hit exactly the right spot at each target and worked perfectly. The impact of those bombs is buried under a mountain of rubble in Iran; so anyone who says the bombs were not devastating is just trying to undermine the President and the successful mission."
Secretary Hegseth: "Given the 30,000 pounds of explosions and the capability of those munitions, it was DEVASTATION underneath Fordow
... Any assessment that tells you otherwise is speculating with other motives."

Secretary Rubio: "Everything underneath that mountain is in bad shape ... There's no way Iran comes to the table if somehow nothing had happened. This was complete and total obliteration.
They are in bad shape. They are way behind today compared to where they were just seven days ago because of what President Trump did."

Nine months ago, Trump, Hegseth, Rubio and others were crowing about β€œobliterating” Iranian nuclear sites.

They also said that anyone claiming something different was spreading β€œfake news”.

RFKjr should not be allowed to refer to 'clinical literature' when he so often proves how incomprehensible it is to him.

I hope it's not some form of dementia; though that might assuage the emotional wound.

"When Olympic athletes enter the political arena, they should expect some pushback," he says. The same is true for politicians.

Lotta meta-discourse this week about economics, the role of economists, who's paying attention, what they think of us, and if we're useful, etc.

It follows that a person who lacks humility and curiosity, who believes they know all they need to know, is unlikely to have meaningful insights.

Thinking further about this: the coyote painted the cave image. The roadrunner passed through it. It was the coyote who ran into the false reality he had created.

My story is so similar: in high school I was voted most studious but I didn't study, relying on my good memory. Three semesters before I was on track.

I hope, at the end of the year, we can recall this as an overreaction. "A president who doesn’t care about the law, who commands an obedient Congress and is supported by a radicalized base of tens of millions of people who believe his lies, represents a threat to the next election."

Amusing? A bit. Useful? Absolutely. Thank you for sharing this.

Create a short version for TikTok! There's a much wider audience that needs to hear at least something about this.

A reminder to the news media: β€œconflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Our highest loyalty doesn't belong to people or parties. It belongs to principles.

If you wouldn't accept it from your opponents, you shouldn't accept it from your allies.

Integrity is standing by your values even when your own group violates them.

Well said! "It just shouldn’t be the case that the only way to hold the federal government accountable is to elect a new one."

Let's find common ground with him on this. He apparently believes his children would do better raised by a robot than by him.

If the twist-off was unexpected, you may have overpaid.

It would take a two-word amendment to 42 U.S.C. Β§ 1983 to subject ICE agents and other federal law enforcement officers to the same liability for constitutional violations that local and state officers currently face.

If Congress actually cared about what it's seeing, it could pass that overnight.

I imagine those who are "very well defended against self-reflection" might believe that description to be a compliment.

The official explanation they’re apparently going with here is that they aren’t 100% convinced that breathing soot and ozone is actually bad for you.

Any factual history of the insurrection and related schemes to overturn the 2020 election results must also chronicle the efforts to whitewash that history. The 2020 election wasn't overturned, but there's an ongoing effort to delegitimize the result.

Parents everywhere want to do everything possible to protect their kids and help them thrive. Secretary Kennedy just robbed us of one of the easiest ways to keep our kids safe, through routine science-based vaccine schedules. I'm angry about the kids that will suffer because of this cruel decision.

This: "there’s something deeply thuggish about this entire affair, and fundamentally contrary to what I’d always understood the United States’ position in the world to be."

If you've read books by Dr. Hotez, you're more qualified to lead HHS than RFKjr.
