Asked Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., about the bombing of the girls' school in Iran. "It was terrible. We made a mistake," he said. "Other countries do that sort of thing intentionally, like Russia. We would never do that intentionally. I think the department is investigating it now, and I'm sorry."

OPINION: If this week has proven anything, it's that the entire Republican Party (minus Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky) is guilty of treason and manufacturing a war with Iran to deflect from being accessories to the sexual assault of women and children.
They had names. They had beautiful faces. And they had the same dreams as your kids - crushed when American "precision" bombs slammed into their Minab elementary school, killing 175
Don't blame AI for this. Blame the sick humans who see war as a game

Trump chose to kill those girls in Iran.
It's his war, not America's. A THREAD.
That Russia is helping Iran isn’t shocking. What’s shocking is that the Trump administration won’t condemn Russia. Where is the outrage? Imagine if Zelensky were helping Iran. Trump would go ballistic. But when it’s Putin the reaction is decorous silence.

Iran retaliated with missile and drone bombardments against U.S. bases and allied territory, targeting military facilities across the Gulf, including Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar. One Iranian drone killed six American service members at a U.S. command center in Kuwait. Asked whether Americans should be worried about retaliatory attacks at home, Trump acknowledges the possibility. “I guess,” he says. “But I think they’re worried about that all the time. We think about it all the time. We plan for it. But yeah, you know, we expect some things. Like I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die."
Donald Trump’s White House is blocking top US intelligence agencies from warning law enforcement across the country about rising threats to the homeland tied to his war with Iran, the Daily Mail can reveal. The FBI, Homeland Security, and the National Counterterrorism Center were preparing to put out a joint intelligence statement on Friday to state and local authorities alerting them of a heightened threat due to the ongoing war in Iran, a senior DHS official said. The bulletin, which was reviewed by the Daily Mail, details 'elevated threats by the government of Iran to US military and government personnel and facilities, Jewish and Israeli institutions and their perceived supporters, and Iranian dissidents and other anti-regime activists in the United States.' 'Radicalized individuals with a variety of ideological backgrounds also may see this conflict or other geopolitical events as a justification for violence,' the report continues. The five-page bulletin blocked by the White House provides specific details on how Iranian proxies may carry out attacks across the country. One section explains how local law enforcement can respond to this type of violence. The official title is 'A Public Safety Awareness Report: Elevated threat in the United States during US-Iran conflict'. Homeland Security broke protocol and gave the White House a heads-up about the nationwide bulletin hours before it was set to be released. Top Trump officials ordered it placed on ‘hold’. The White House did not deny blocking the terror bulletin in a statement to the Daily Mail.
Time: Asked if Americans should be worried abt attacks at home: I guess.
Daily Mail: The White House blocked release of FBI/NCTC warning of elevated risks.
In just six days, the Trump administration has advanced at least 10 different rationales for the war in Iran, Marie-Rose Sheinerman and Isabel Ruehl report:
Yes!
Trump is rewarding Russians who are helping Iran target our military
AFTER Putin reportedly shared U.S. weapons positions with Iran? How….odd.
Good post on the practical SOF challenges of securing Iran's HEU stocks. Doesn't mean Israel and the US won't try it.

The restrictions Miller and Hegseth railed against were designed to prevent us from doing things like slaughtering children en masse.
Oh wow. North Carolina Republican Bob Rucho—whose name is on the caption of the infamous 2019 SCOTUS case that greenlighted partisan gerrymandering, Rucho v. Common Cause—has resigned from the state Board of Elections after violating a ban on board members donating to political candidates.
Today I got mentioned in another Congressional hearing because:
-Bill Huizenga thinks he’s clever (no)
-Republicans like to lie about Biden era censorship to distract from the real censorship Trump is doing (see TrumpCensorship.com)
NEW “We’re celebrating a tradition that is at its core about resisting occupation and maintaining community in the face of horrors. You can’t keep politics out of Irish music. No one should try, for two reasons. First, it’s ahistorical. Second, Minnesotans are ready for a big anti-fascist party.”

GOP senator allegedly breaks Marine’s hand during protest against Iran war, this is what the GOP truly thinks of veterans
Nobody hates living veterans more than Republicans. Dead veterans they can exploit in videos. But living veterans with opinions and medical needs are literally offensive to conservatives.
Activists are hoping to rile up Iowa Republican primary voters with claims that the abortion pill is causing water quality issues in the state. (Unsurprisingly, it's actually the agriculture industry causing the issues, a local expert explains.)
What just happened in Dallas County is one of the most blatant voter suppression operations I've ever seen—and it happened in a *primary*.

The White House has helped MAGA influencers escape the Middle East on a private jet while more than a million ordinary Americans are still trapped with no way out.
The Arkansas constitution forbids officials who were appointed to a position from running to keep it when it next appears on the ballot. Today, two state supreme court justices are working around that – by running for each other’s seats.
Last month, @blumenthal.senate.gov and I held a hearing on DHS misconduct. We heard Ms. Martinez's horrific story firsthand.
Let's be clear: The agent who shot a U.S. citizen five times and bragged about it should NOT still be on the job, and Noem's lack of awareness is unacceptable.
