A real journalist would say “really, how is the man who bombed 7 nations a peacemaker?”.
As I grope for words to make sense of President Trump’s war with Iran, I keep coming back to one word. A word that is small compared to the big emotions it can unleash. That word is “disrespect.”

I think he’s writing for a very specific insular audience (that believes they are separate from social norms, and ethics). It’s vulgarity that that unintelligent (including several billionaires) crave.
Donald Trump is seeking to collect massive amounts of information — including personal and partisan voter data — at an unprecedented scale. He is trying to pressure AI companies into allowing unrestricted use of their powerful tools against American citizens. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...
NANCY MACE: What is a woman? Have you learned that lesson?
WALZ: I'm the governor of Minnesota. I'm not here to be a prop for your obsession.
Racism, sexism, hate and stupidity are the reasons why we all aren’t enjoying the benefits of a Kamala Harris Presidency and are instead in fear and horror during the orange felon’s vengeful trashy murderous dictatorship and the American state media is fully complicit in that.
Donald Trump cannot be trusted to lead America into war. He is unaccountable to America. He is lawless. He only seeks conflict to cover up for his failures.
Congress must step up, reassert its power, and represent the American people.
We do not want another forever war.
I suspect he bases it on George W’s rise in popularity with Iraq. He’s literally setting up a tragedy. It’s a tragic strategy that demonstrates an ambivalence about casualties. I calls so much into question about other events as well.
Perfect.
When FBI Director Kash Patel fired a dozen FBI agents and staff last week for their role in the classified documents investigation of Donald Trump, he targeted an elite counter espionage unit that investigates threats from foreign adversaries and specializes in Iran www.ms.now/news/kash-pa...
Coons: "Does DHS…operate on any quotas for immigration arrests every day?"
Noem: "No, we do not. We do targeted law enforcement operations."
Coons: "Just last year, Stephen Miller…went on Fox News and said we're setting a goal, a minimum of 3,000 arrest for ICE every day."

It’s time for the leadership of the democrats to communicate the urgency of this situation, or step aside.

Some questions that no one has asked: Why Kristi Noem put an inexperienced 20-something in charge of terrorist prevention.

Fetterman is completely out of touch with his constituents.
What part of full blown lunacy do Republican Senators and Congressional Representatives not understand?
American soldiers died
Civilians and children killed
He starts talking about DRAPES. !!!
Make it stop
Hypocrisy of Roberts Court is astounding: they’re inventing one set of rules to uphold gerrymandered maps that benefit white voters & Republicans in states like Texas while using a completely different set of rules to strike down maps that benefit racial minorities & Democrats
WSJ: “.. U.S. officials and lawmakers with access to classified information say the Trump administration’s assertions about threats from Iran are incomplete, unsubstantiated, or flat-out wrong.”

A White House conflict of interests that should be getting a ton more attention.
Some of us are very familiar with this account the pro-Trump X account Johnny MAGA. It built a following of nearly 300,000 by presenting itself as just another independent voice in the MAGA ecosystem.

Hillary Clinton is tired of the bullshit 🔥
One thing I’m betting on: Republicans are already clipping and will soon post selective soundbites. That’s exactly why they asked her about UFO’s and the long debunked Pizzagate nonsense.
But they said he was “The peace president.” 🥴
Two Russian women or two Russian girls? 🤔
Bill Gates now says his Epstein relationship was a “huge mistake.” He even admitted to affairs with two Russian women, while insisting he never saw any criminal activity.
Vance is hyping Trump’s so called “war on fraud” while suspending $259 million in Medicaid payments to Minnesota.
This from the same Trump whose charity was shut down for fraud and who paid $25 million over Trump University.
Trump doesn’t fight fraud. He is the fraud.

OFFS. When Iran tried to interefere in 2020, researchers caught them and called them out. Then the Benz-Weiss-Taibbi-Musk-Jordan-Trump axis labeled those researchers "censors" ... and set about defunding them and dismantling their organizations.
