Weapons of mass destruction… again? It’s Iraq 2.0?

Netanyahu has spent the better part of two decades trying to strong arm the United States into an unprovoked war against Iran and finally found a president stupid enough to do it for him. Unbelievable.

I still remember how long the USA argued over whether or not there were 'weapons of mass destruction' in Iraq. Colin Powell did a whole thing at the UN. Now it's just 'Trump said they have them.'

Following the President’s decision to bomb nuclear facilities in Iran, I’ve directed our public safety teams to be on heightened alert for potential threats to Minnesota. While there’s no known threats at this time, we’ll continue to monitor the situation and respond accordingly.

"ICE’s lawlessness has incentivized good samaritans to resist their enforcement efforts....you think to yourself: 'Will there be a legal process? Or am I the very last person who has a chance to intervene on this person’s behalf?'"

Glitter bombing the Gestapo. Perfection. Like when we hippies put daisies into the National Guards’ guns.

Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far: A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they? Hello?

ICE raids terrorizing communities & ripping apart families continue, not against criminals, but against workers who have been here for yrs. Here, an ICE Agent punches an old man in the face while arrested. END TRUMP POLICE STATE NOW! Call Congress & demand action. nbclosangeles.app.link/pabLAQ5PoUb

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

Meant to mention this last week, but if you have a young person in your life who’s into history or graphic novels or just good books, buy them George Takei’s “They Called Us Enemy.” My oldest couldn’t put it down.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

ICE agents in tactical gear chase down and tackle a U.S. citizen in L.A. After realizing he’s American, they just slink away. Their only explanation: “Why were you running?” Probably because two masked men with guns were trying to snatch him.

"The media continues to cover politics as if it is still the 1990s. 'Both parties are basically center-right or center-left parties.' The journalism infrastructure in our country wants to pretend that that’s the world that we live in. The instinct is to treat everything politicians say as valid."

JUNETEENTH in Harlem. This is what America is about. Perhaps the most American holiday of all, Juneteenth honors the very best of what this country can be. It’s a celebration of the courage to fight for freedom, even when the cost is steep. It’s sad that the president gets angry over this

I love this. You’ll probably love it too. These J6 bounty hunter punks cosplaying as ICE agents think they have the upperhand everywhere. Drunk on power, but nope. They’re cowards.

Ted Cruz "hates communists" because Cuban President Fulgencio Batista, who was not a communist, imprisoned and tortured Cruz's father for helping Fidel Castro, who was a communist and who freed Cruz's father from the non-communist prison. Proving, once again, that Cruz speaks absolute rubbish.

After 450 million years of evolutionary history, shark populations are collapsing, and more than a third of shark species and their relatives face extinction. Now scientists are trying to use the lure of “Jaws” to advance shark conservation efforts.

If only we had warned folks before the election that the real plan wasn’t border security…it was mass deportation in the interior, federalizing the National Guard, ripping people out of homes, families, jobs, and schools. Oh wait…we did. This segment with the author of 2025 aired one year ago.

I don't think we're in a democracy anymore. Unmarked secret police kidnapping people off the street? A dictator mobilizing the military against civilians? Defying court orders? Ignoring due process? Arresting political opponents? Democracy has left the building. We CAN & MUST get it back, though.

So now we’ve got Senate witnesses shrugging off court orders like suggestions. Hegseth all but says, “We’ll obey the law if the Supreme Court tells us to.” That’s not national security…that’s banana republic thinking with a flag draped over it.

ICE's increasingly aggressive tactics are unacceptable and dangerous. They do not make us any safer. I’m calling for an independent investigation right now — this abuse of power must end.
