Trump’s War on Iran Is Illegal Neither a future threat nor regime change can be legal justification for war without congressional authorization.

The Iran war is OPENLY illegal. It’s not close!

On Dec 2000, Epstein's Gulfstream jet landed at RAF Marham in Norfolk. DOJ records show the aircraft first arrived at Luton Airport on Dec 6 carrying both Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell with two additional passengers, one of whom was listed as an unnamed "female," in flight logs. #OpDeathEaters

Contrarians Combat Trump’s Wrongdoing at Home and Abroad Fighting on all fronts: Publisher's Roundup 57

The Kennedy Center may never recover if Trump demolishes it

Congress ordered it be a living memorial to a slain president

Trump is defying that order — & it’s blatantly illegal

We’re in court to stop it

OpenAI is now embedding itself within the Department of War, removing ethical red lines on human warfare, and using rhetoric that devalues human life.

Trump has talked about his Iran war is following the Venezuelan model, which means seizing control of the country, leaving a murderous regime in place and seizing the oil for his own self-enrichment.

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:

Tax cuts for the rich
...don’t trickle down

Boosting military spending
...doesn’t bring peace

Slashing regulations
...doesn’t create jobs

Folks, we’ve seen this all before.

Caitlin KALINOWSKI over X

I resigned from OpenAl. I care deeply about the Robotics team and the work we built together.
This wasn't an easy call. Al has an important role in national security. But surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got. This was about principle, not people. I have deep respect for Sam and the team, and I'm proud of what we built together.

Going way out on a limb here, but something tells me Trump cares more about oil than the freedom of the Venezuela people.

In an article in the Atlantic, Vivian Salama and Jonathan Lemire argue that Trump is not making any claims on Iranian oil and gas. But that's not quite true, is it?

Massive war price tag could be a massive problem for GOP leaders The prospect of a ballooning new spending bill has GOP leaders bracing for a messy internal fight.

"Senior Republicans privately expect Trump's administration to request tens of billions of dollars for the Middle East conflict and other military needs from Congress in the coming days, with some GOP lawmakers hearing estimates that the Pentagon is spending as much as $2 billion a day on the war."

“Under serious consideration for complete destruction … are areas and groups of people that were not considered for targeting up until this moment in time.”
Well, I guess that means hospitals and day care centers are being added to girls schools as targets. Fuck this fucker!

Russia Revels in a Sudden Reversal in Fortunes as Oil and Gas Prices Soar

One winner in Trump's Iran war? Putin: "The surge in energy prices comes as a reprieve to Moscow, after a year in which Russian oil and gas revenues declined by nearly a quarter and strained the nation’s wartime economy."

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.
