Dozens killed as Israeli special forces raid Lebanese village in search of 40-year-old remains Overnight, one Israeli operation saw at least 41 people killed and 40 injured, according to the Lebanese health ministry.

Pretty serious allegation here. "Witnesses told the BBC that the Israeli soldiers had arrived disguised in Lebanese military fatigues and used ambulances with signs of Hezbollah's Islamic Health Organization."

Another Fascist politician screwed over veterans by blocking a unanimous consent to pass a bill that allowed combat- injured veterans to receive both a full military retirement pay & their VA disability benefits.
Senator Johnson stated that there is no money for both. BS‼️🤬🤬

Witnesses have filmed a suspected Iranian missile barrage in the skies south of Tel Aviv.

It's believed to be Iran's first attack on Israel since the election of the new supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei.

Seven US Regime Change Wars, Ranked by Disastrousness Trump has killed Iran's supreme leader and is demanding 'unconditional surrender.' But history tells us that US-led regime change efforts abroad almost never bring positive results.

"Many Americans seem to have forgotten just how catastrophic US regime change wars have been in the past. So, with the risk of history repeating itself once again, here is Zeteo’s list of seven of the US’s most disastrous attempts at regime change, ranked"

The water desalination plant on Qeshm Island, Iran, was targeted by U.S. using a ballistic missile launched from Bahrain. In response, Iranian Army targeted the water desalination plant in Bahrain. As a result, people in Bahrain are now suffering from a lack of water as are people in south of Iran

Ken Martin's dysfunctional DNC alarms Democrats Donors, operatives and some DNC members are questioning his leadership, fundraising ability and handling of the party's 2024 election "autopsy."

Change will be hard. Many corporate Dems and centrists will wet their beds and cry. They will do everything to keep their feathered nest.

It's time to clean house and make life uncomfortable for them. It's the only way for us to have a chance.

oh just a thought if your plan for overthrowing the Iranian government depends on the Iranian public rising up, you likely shouldn't have defunded the American government run news agency that speaks in Farsi.

Here's the first-ever Linkedin message from this company, which seems to be a small company run by two millennials with some background in migrant shelters.

Four months ago they suggest they won a contract to run a "mass care site" in Lexington, KY, but this is their first-ever federal contract.

Another day of interest on the tariffs Trump collected and refuses to give back. American consumers paid the tariffs, American taxpayers pay the interest on Trump holding onto the money as long as possible. Every day the bill goes up.

The Long-Feared Persian Gulf Oil Squeeze Is Upon Us Traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has ground to a virtual halt, unleashing the most severe energy crisis since the 1970s.

I’m just a simple country (war powers) lawyer, but there could be reasons that the US Constitution and the UN Charter sharply restrict recourse to the use of force.

I wonder what percentage of Americans knows that the CIA helped overthrow a democracy in Iran in 1953, installing a brutal dictator who tortured and murdered people. Republicans keep citing the 1979 Islamic Revolution as if that was the start of U.S.-Iran hostilities. Go back 26 years earlier.

I feel like it should be bigger news that Trump is now openly considering a military draft. Young men haven't been called up for a draft since 1972. Not during the Gulf War. Not during Iraq or Afghanistan. He received five draft deferments but is now open to drafting your kids.

U.S. federal elections are run by the states, and a president cannot cancel or take over an election by declaring a “national emergency.”

The National Emergencies Act lets presidents activate certain specific statutory powers during crises.

It does not contain authority to suspend elections.👇

Trump told us who he was in 2012. Will we finally believe him today? Trump has always been an election denier. He has always vilified voting. He has always started with lies, escalated to the courts, and ultimately embraced violent rhetoric.

For nearly two decades, Trump has been lying about elections and threatening the democratic process. A small group of us has been sounding this alarm, but far too few people in positions of power have been willing to act. The result is that things have only gotten worse.
