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.

“DHS broke protocol & gave the WH a heads-up about the report” & then, the WH blocked it.

It’s remarkable that even the regime’s continued and open disregard for American lives is somehow only a blip in media coverage.

Hey, a DC Circuit motions panel that doesn’t suck

Student Loans In Limbo As Court Again Rejects Bid To Kill Repayment Plan For 7 Million Borrowers Millions of borrowers with federal student loans remain in limbo this week after a court again rejected attempts to immediately terminate a popular repayment program.

GOP: if you don’t stop this, people might be treated fairly.

“The states warned that without a stay, federal student loans could again be eligible for all of the benefits of the SAVE plan including lower payments, interest subsidies, and student loan forgiveness.” shorturl.at/UoIyu

Here’s hoping for this kind of Armageddon

Leasing that electric car this fall seems brilliantly prescient in this moment.

Yes. GOP my whole life.

Drone strikes on Amazon Web Services facilities this week in the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain highlight the vulnerability of cloud facilities — prominent symbols of US tech power in the region and hard to defend against air attack. Fars News Agency, an outlet affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, said on Thursday that Iran targeted Amazon and Microsoft facilities in recent drone strikes. Experts say Amazon’s facilities were likely targeted by Iran. Microsoft said it had not experienced any outages in the region. The strikes mark what is believed to be the world’s first military attack against the US “hyper…

Narrator: it was not unexpected.

"Trump told Barak Ravid and Zachary Basu of Axios that he needs to be involved personally in choosing the next leader of Iran....Trump told the reporters: “They are wasting their time. Khamenei’s son is a lightweight. I have to be involved in the appointment, like w Delcy [Rodríguez] in Venezuela.”"

Reuters Exclusive

"U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school."

"The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the ​Middle East."

This is white Missionary Christianity, this mentality has murdered and rationalized the murder of children (and adults) for centuries.

Everyone needs to be talking about this.

Pres of Peace strikes again.

This time, he created “peace” by *checks notes* bombing a hospital named for—you can’t make this up—Gandhi.

They already attacked a hospital named after -get this- Gandhi.

The social media admin in action

Historian here history first time as tragedy the second time as farce.

Yes. I refuse to believe this is anything but intentional on the part of both the US and Israel.

Missiles fired by US, Israel hit two schools near Tehran: Iranian media The latest attack comes six days after the deadliest single one during the war on Iran, which killed 165 people.

They did it again twice today. It’s clearly deliberate and no surprise given they are likely being fed targets from Israel.

The war now includes South Asia.

Former foreign secretary of IN noting that the Iranian ship the US illegally bombed in Sri Lankan waters was there at Indian govt invitation. By rule, they had no munitions.They were defenseless.

Indian & Sri Lankan govts were not informed about the attack.

Thanks GW

Brain poisoning from the files OVER 🙂‍↔️ now the Texas Observer's multi-part investigative series doing real journalism about cops, genAI and mass warrantless surveillance is getting seared into my cerebral cortex 💪🏻

they double bombed an elementary school for girls

I have to specify even further:

The Israelis are even telling people which roads to take. That’s why there are two colours.

There is mass panic
