Ukraine offers to help defend the West from Iranian drones.
Russia helps Iran track American forces.
And the White House eases sanctions on Russian oil.
Explain that to the families of U.S. troops. My latest:

"Jobs and factories will come roaring back into our country, and you see it happening already."
-Donald Trump, 4/2/25
Brilliant planning and flawless execution are the hallmarks of the Trump regime.
what would you be doing right now if Kamala (or Hillary or Al) had won #ElectionMultiverse
It’s almost like he’s hoping for it so that he can have an excuse to use “emergency powers”
Anyway, can someone remind me who the heads of the DHS and FBI are at the moment?
Surely they will stop any such an attack.
Lindsey Halligan, the former interim U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, is facing an investigation by the Florida Bar for her role in pursuing criminal charges against two of President Trump’s most prominent political foes.
ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.
They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.
In a different world you could imagine the conspiracy theory "attacked Venezuela in order to gain control of its oil supply as a hedge against an attack they knew they were planning on Iran," but no one can believe that these clowns thought that far ahead.
Since receiving presidential pardons, dozens of former Capitol rioters have gotten into more legal trouble. In Florida, Andrew Paul Johnson was sentenced to life in prison for child sex abuse. n.pr/4rUa1zD

One thing about these big camp systems is that they inflict a tremendous amount of harm through sheer momentum. When a system is built to be both negligent and punitive, it tends to cause suffering by default.
🚨🚨🚨Incredibly disturbing video. Senator Tim Sheehy (R-MT) joined Capitol Police in violently ejecting a Marine Corps veteran in uniform who protested the war against Iran. You can hear the bone in his arm snap around the 55 second mark.🚨🚨🚨
That was my first thought exactly!!
Republicans literally impeached a president over this basic question
Moskowitz: I want to end on a happy note. I got you a new Coast Guard blankie, the one you lost.
Kamlager-Dove: During you tenure at DHS, have you had sexual relations with Corey Lewandowski?
Noem: I am shocked we are peddling tabloid garbage.
JUST IN: Trump DOJ proposes surprise rule aiming to let Attorney General Pam Bondi suspend state bar investigations into alleged misconduct by DOJ lawyers. Very unclear if there'd be legal authority for the AG to intervene in this manner.

Americans stranded in the Middle East say the State Department hotline Marco Rubio told them to call plays a recorded message warning: “Please do not rely on the U.S. government for assisted departure or evacuation at this time.”
To get a job as an analyst at the NSA, applicants are now required to identify their favorite executive orders.
Stories about the illegality of the Iran War under both international law and the US Constitution and War Powers Act have featured on the front pages of Süddeutsche Zeitung, El País, Le Monde and papers all around the world. Not, however, in major US papers. Something is seriously wrong.
The Iranian ambassador was not, for the record, on American soil.
I’ve never seen an admin more full of juvenile man-children openly projecting their juvenile man-childness every time they open their mouths and try to come across as “tough.” (And yes, I know Waltz’s background: still juvenile.)
Marjorie Taylor Greene: I know Trump very well. He repeatedly says that he's going to run for president again. I don't think he's joking. I really want to know what is his mental state is.
Obligatory
I feel like we typically see these sorts of completely outraged opinions from federal judges a couple times a year across the whole country, maybe a little more often in last few years. Now, in cases stemming from Trump's immigration crackdown, judges are ringing the alarm bell several times a week.
The glibness. The indifference. The carelessness. The utter lack of planning for a war against a country of 90M. The sickness of a man who acts on whim that will kill thousands not hundreds. The horror of a regime that enables this sickness. The broken body politic that votes in such malignancy.
Looks like the greengrocer put the sign back up
The next Forever War is here.
"The CIA is working to arm Kurdish forces with the aim of fomenting a popular uprising in Iran, multiple people familiar with the plan told CNN."
Pete Hegseth's crazed rants at reporters reveal that Trump's rationales for attacking Iran are incoherent, confused, and based on lies. Dems don't have to take refuge in criticizing Trump's war on purely procedural grounds. They can go much harder. 1/
