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. โ€œI guess,โ€ he says. โ€œBut I think theyโ€™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 Trumpโ€™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 โ€˜holdโ€™. The White House did not deny blocking the terror bulletin in a statement to the Daily Mail.

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.

COMMENTARY: Iran War Blurs the Line Between Religion and the Constitution

Yes. And we have to talk about this now, because talking about it is the first step to making it seem like a callous crime rather than a surprising emergency.

Today in Trump foreign policy:

Fox: Can you comment on Russians helping Iran target our troops?

Trump: Thatโ€™s a stupid question. Iโ€™m only talking about college football before I fly to Palm Beach for a weekend of golf.

Bessent: We are now lifting sanctions on Russian oil.

Pete Hegseth claims Donald Trump has renamed the map of North America.
Prior to the Ukraine invasion, Putin used the same tactics. He claimed that Ukraine was not an independent nation - just part of greater Russia.
Fuck your greater America Trump. You are a criminal.

More interesting than this compact vessel's unique layout is it's fascinating backstory tied to General Chang's Bird of Prey from Star Trek VI.

I'm an idiot, I just realized that the USS Athena looks like it has feathers, like an Owl, the symbol of the goddess Athena. Neat.

Fun fact: To keep production costs low, many Star Trek scenes were actually filmed on Earth rather than on location in outer space.

I love the differences between the Ambassador class variants. The original version, the refit the Enterprise -C had, then the newer style for the USS Yamaguchi.

If you are attacking Jena Griswold because she did not personally argue the 14th disqualification case in the Supreme Court, you have lost the plot. She was literally a party to the case brought by Trump. We need more people willing to stand up to Trump, not tearing down those who did.
