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.

It's the middle of the night in Chicago. Reporters and electeds are trying to figure out why a US citizen was detained by CBP, why her phone was inside an ICE detention center tonight, and where she is now.

Also unclear what happened to the other five people she was detained with at O'Hare airport.

CBS obtained video of the DHS killing of an unarmed man in Texas that DHS concealed for nearly a year, which clearly contradicts claims that he violently rammed anyone. He is shot with his brake lights on, car not moving or barely moving. Another DHS crime.

This is an ASTONISHING level of corruption.

DHS handed a $143 MILLION no-bid contract to a company that was 8 days old, with no headquarters, no website, no prior federal work, and an address linked to a residence of a political operative.

While Ukraine fights a war for survival, its president is mocked instead of supported.

Leadership under fire looks different from politics at a distance.

A picture of the John Fetterman and the 17 Senate republicans who were running for reelection before this vote who voted against the Iran War Powers Resolution, outing them for the monsters that they are.

Rand Paul is also there because it is interesting that he voted against it

Kristi Noem wasn't fired because her DHS murders people, not because ICE is terrorizing communities and not because she has been deporting any and everyone even Americans, no way, donald loves how she's doing that... she was fired because she contradicted donald about spending 220 million on ad.

This is why he bombed Iran. So no would be watching him remove files about his crimes and corruption with Jeffrey Epstein. The DOJ is covering up the crimes of our rapist president.

Raskin: Based on what you know today, were Renee Good and Alex Pretti domestic terrorists?

Noem: What happened was an absolute tragedy.

Raskin: Were they domestic terrorists?

Noem: My condolences to their families

Raskin: You lied about them.

Donald Trump launched a war with Iran without Congressional approval and without an endgame.

Speaker Johnson must immediately call a vote on a war powers resolution.

The UN, though in Manhattan, is on international land, not American. Also a pretty central tenet of diplomacy is β€œwe will not take advantage of proximity to murder your people” for reasons that should be very obvious.

BLUMENTHAL: Is the agent who shot Ms Martinez sill on the job?

NOEM: Our officers conduct operations every day-

B: Is he still on the job carrying a gun?

N: I dunno

B: Would you agree he shouldn't be?

N: I'll get back to you

B: I think Americans would find it absolutely terrifying if he is

Watch the Moon Turn Blood Red During a Total Lunar Eclipse
