WATCH — @mehdirhasan.bsky.social to @chrislhayes.bsky.social: “It’s a moral abomination and tactically stupid… Trump doesn’t give a damn about Iranian lives. Have we learned nothing from Iraq or Afghanistan? All we seem to have learned is from Gaza is 🇮🇱 can bomb hospitals & schools with impunity.”

Jon raises serious and legitimate concerns about Trump ordering a nuclear attack on Iran. Two other data points:

On Monday, Trump told @jaketapper.bsky.social, “We haven’t even started hitting them hard. The big wave hasn’t even happened. The big one is coming soon.”

This morning, Trump wrote:

There is a legal provision in immigration law that someone married to a US citizen can stay in the US while there visa is pending. Immigration officials have long recognized it to allow residency during the wait time. The DHS has just stopped following this part of the law.

It looks spoiled. 😸

Trump is adding anti-trans provisions to SAVE America Act Trump appears to be using culture-war issues, which are popular among Republican voters, to increase the pressure on Republican lawmakers to back the bill.

🚨BREAKING: The White House confirmed Friday that President Donald Trump is pressing Congress to add new provisions targeting transgender people to the SAVE America Act — a sweeping anti-voting bill that could disenfranchise millions. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.

He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.

The grift continues.

“To be fair, you have to wait for our shittyness to get ahead of you before responding.”

Virginia passes legislation prohibiting schools from teaching falsehoods about Jan. 6 riot The bill passed by the Virginia legislature prohibits schools from teaching what it considers to be falsehoods about the U.S. Capitol riot, including portraying it "as peaceful protest."

"...school instruction must "Describe the January 6, 2021, insurrection at the United States Capitol as an unprecedented, violent attack on United States democratic institutions, infrastructure, and representatives for the purpose of overturning the results of the 2020 presidential election."

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.

Justice Department publishes documents with sexual assault allegations against Trump The department shared FBI documents outlining allegations involving Trump.

Scientists are trying to solve the mystery of whether global warming is speeding up. A new study says it has the answer | CNN Is the world getting hotter, faster? It’s a big question which has been puzzling and dividing scientists for years. A new paper says it has the answer, and it’s not good news.

The Most Chilling Detail in the U.S. Attack on an Iranian Naval Ship The Iranian warship was taking part in an international exercise with many other countries—including the United States.

this story illustrates what Hegseth meant when he said "No stupid rules of engagement, no nation building quagmire, no democracy building exercise, no politically correct wars. We fight to win, and we don't waste time or lives,"

"Death and Destruction ... All Day Long" What a glorious time to be Pete Hegseth. He can openly revel in killing, cheered on by his carnage-loving boss.

“Death and destruction from the sky all day long,” Hegseth said, sharing his sadist’s poetry of love.

Oh, what happy days for killer Pete, who wanted us all to know how indifferent he is to human life, how unleashed he feels to cause maximum damage.

ICE confirms a measles outbreak in the nation's largest detention facility in Texas The agency said it's closely monitoring the situation and coordinating with public health authorities while the facility

The Trump regime’s worst policies are colliding in Camp East Montana, the nation's largest ICE detention facility, and creating even more human suffering.

The cruelty is endless.

Trump just put the only senator without a bachelors degree in charge of homeland security

WA voters to see ballot initiative aimed at trans girls in sports A state ballot initiative would require sex verification for girls’ school sports, raising concerns from pediatricians about cost, privacy and access to care.

Here's a ballot measure in Washington state that would force kids who want to play high school sports to “verify their biological sex," presumably by showing their genitals to their coach.

However much contempt you feel for the panty-sniffing creeps on the right, it's not enough.

U.S. Military Joins Drug War in Ecuador: “It Wasn’t Going to Be Just Boat Strikes Forever” Two government officials told The Intercept that the joint U.S.–Ecuador military action won’t just be a one-off raid.

The US under 'antiwar' Trump has now also launched military operations in Ecuador too:

21 years. We haven't seen single day gas price increases like this in TWENTY ONE YEARS.

The new guy at Homeland Security doesn't know what a war is.

Key Trump ally behind emergency elections order reveals loony conspiracy theory motivating his effort Peter Ticktin said the Trump should sign an executive order to take over voting machines, because machines in Antrim County, Michigan flipped votes from Trump to Joe Biden in the 2020 election.

NEW: A conservative attorney said to be coordinating with the White House to push Donald Trump to take control of elections via executive order cited a bizarre 2020 conspiracy theory involving Michigan voting machines as the emergency that justifies the scheme.

The stock market is tanking, gas prices are spiking, the DHS Secretary was just fired after lying under oath to Congress, prices keep going up, Trump refuses to refund tariffs despite a SCOTUS decision, and we are in another war in the Middle East.

When does the winning start?

Iran school and nearby military base struck multiple times, satellite image reveals Iranian authorities say the attack, which took place on Saturday, killed 168 people.

BBC Verify has pieced together verified videos, satellite imagery and expert views after a deadly attack near a primary school in Minab, souther Iran, which suggest the area was hit more than once "by multiple simultaneous or near-simultaneous strikes".

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

For a regime that insisted on renaming the Department of Defense the Department of War, and a new and cocky Secretary of War who can’t stop lecturing about lethality and maintaining a warrior ethos, these guys are surprisingly afraid to call a war a war.

I'm sure the Iranians are going to let Trump sign off on their next leader. That will happen right after Mexico pays for the wall.

Vance Puts MAGA Ideology Above All Else For the vice president, even white nationalists who target his Indian American wife don't merit disavowal

"Vance now spends every day of his life agitating for a society that sees the people he loves most in the world as undesirable foreigners who should be forcibly deported."

Great @bernybelvedere.bsky.social piece urging us to see Vance as a genuine ideologue:
