Truly appalling.

This is extraordinarily corrupt. But I still think he’s far more malevolent and sociopathic than merely corrupt.

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 100 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo (or video) of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

“What’s been going on in LA is we’ve just been seeing a lot of people come in and just ripping people out in a very intense way...rounding them up, like fucking stray dogs" www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

🚨NEW: Erez Reuveni, the DOJ lawyer fired for his honesty in the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case, sends Congress a whistleblower letter detailing lawlessness at the DOJ around the CECOT deportations. He says Emil Bove told the DOJ to respond to likely court orders blocking flights with "fuck you."

“This is not America’s war. Those bombs were not dropped on Iran in my name, or yours. This is Donald Trump’s war, and his alone.” Outstanding, @willbunch.bsky.social

I saw someone post this and thought it had to be a joke. Nope, this is a real NY Times headline.

Summary of the Trump admin's comms: Iran may have nuclear weapons but our intelligence shows they do not but they probably do but we have the best intelligence in the world but our intelligence is probably wrong and we're not going to ask why our intelligence is wrong but it probably is.

Pretty amazing that a former president will sit quietly as one of his successors orders US troops into American cities and ships innocent people off to concentration camps—but feels compelled to speak up when a fellow HR nightmare is at risk of losing to another member of the same party.

the amount of contempt vance has for everyone he's talking to — such that he'll say obvious nonsense as if he's fooling you — is genuinely remarkable

I talk to a ton of J6ers and if a chunk of them had jobs with ICE I’d have some idea. Mostly they can’t stop crying about being unemployable.

That’s because there are words on it.

The theme of this administration is anti-legitimacy. "Oh we can disappear people without convicting them of any crime, we can destroy whole agencies and departments unilaterally, we'll start wars on a whim." They really don't believe they have any responsibility to the people or the constitution

Excited for this screenshot to be used to blame feminism for the war.

WATCH: “Like we saw with the Iraq War, You can’t declare this successful now. You have to see what happens next.” The Holler’s Justin Kanew says it’s important to remember what happened in Iraq — and remain skeptical of the reasons Trump attacked Iran. Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DLNYncZ...

Iran’s FM responds to the overnight attack

Trump’s attacks on Iran were based on vibes, not new intel, two administration officials tell Rolling Stone. “There is no intel,” one of the sources says. “The intelligence assessments have not really changed”

That Lander is too progressive for some people simply because he's acknowledged the humanity of Palestinians and has called for a ceasefire gives the game away. Nothing but unconditional support for Israel is enough for them, even though we have decades of evidence that it's made no one safer.

I know it's in Americas nature to elect the most perverted scumbag on the ballot, but it would be cool if NYC sent a message to the party that we don't want pervert scumbags anymore. Bonus thing is Bill Clinton endorsed him so he's an even bigger pervert than we know about. An Iconic Pervert.

“Mr. Clinton said he was drawn to Mr. Cuomo because ‘We’re both sexual harassers who live in Westchester.’”

Super glad Bill Clinton had the time to come out and endorse a serial sexual harasser and abuser but hasn't found the time to call out the Trump admin, illegal ICE raids, the illegal bombing of Iran last night, or Congress for not stopping Trump at all and to impeach Trump

Legitimately, a Democrat friend who knocked on doors in a swing state said he heard this from young men. He said young men thought Kamala would send them off to war.

👇🎯 We have four living presidents, & it is a national embarrassment that they are not, collectively & loudly, in front of microphones every day denouncing the fascism & calling for Congress to impeach/remove Trump to save the Republic.

EXCLUSIVE — The Onion has a full-page ad in today’s NYT featuring part of an editorial calling out congressional fecklessness towards Trump. They also sent a copy of their latest issue to every lawmaker. My report, with an excerpt from the full editorial: www.thehandbasket.co/p/exclusive-...

While missiles fly, Republicans dust off the classics: 👉 “Biden was weak” 👉 “Trump kept us safe.” 👉 “We should bomb something.” The foreign policy solutions are brought to you by a concussion and a campaign check.

🚨MAJOR BREAKING: Just HOURS after Putin slammed the U.S. for bombing Iran, the Iranian Foreign Minister is now heading to Moscow for an emergency meeting. Trump didn’t just start a war - he may have united two of America’s greatest enemies. This is a global nightmare.

Why are they hiding tanks in The Port of LA?

The Iranian Parliament has approved the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Obviously this is difficult to achieve in totality but they can do it de facto by making it risky enough that ships won't want to transit - mines, attack craft, drones, missiles etc. (Deep irony on the legislature approval)

“Shut up and trust our infallible leader.”

While JD Vance is on the news spin circuit today, claiming the unauthorized bombing of Iran isn’t war, it appears Iran disagrees. Iran’s response: “Every American is a target” Cool.

Informing only Republicans before bombing Iran isn’t a “mistake.” It’s a federal violation. 50 U.S.C. § 3093 requires bipartisan notification, and Trump was aware of the law when he broke it. Congress, do your god damned job.

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.

The Daily Show reminded us in the montage below how Netanyahu has LIED about the "imminent" threat of Iran obtaining nuclear weapons since 1995. Netanyahu has for years wanted US to bomb Iran. In Trump, Netanyahu simply found a moron who believed him:

One of the stranger NYT articles I’ve ever read. The two most important things about the situation—Trump exiting the Iran Nuclear Deal as it was working perfectly and the fact that there’s no intel suggesting Iran has pursued more than a civilian nuclear program in 20+ years—are deliberately absent.

Not wanting to see Trump and the USA illegally bomb Iran and dramatically escalate tensions in the Middle East is not the same as supporting the oppressive Iranian regime. It seems incredible that has to be said, but some hotheads don't seem to have any grasp of nuance.

Trump's bombing of Iran is clear violation of international law. Preemptive strikes are only justified under international law when there is imminent threat of an attack. Iran was not threatening attacks on US--except if Trump attacked them. What Trump did will give Putin cover for Ukraine war

Russian foreign ministry issued an official statement regarding US strikes on Iran. They "strongly condemned" the strikes, called this an "irresponsible decision" and called to "end the aggression." Obviously, everything in that statement applies to Russia. Full text of the statement:⤵️

These are just lies. Iran didn’t actually leave the negotiating table. Israel simply bombed Iran and now the US has joined. And the UK just declared that it supports these bombings. It’s difficult to stress how dangerous this all is, and how reckless Starmer is

Starmer is abusing his position for political favour with would be dictator Trump who has bypassed Congress, and shredded the Constitution to carry on its support for Netanyahu. Starmer is endangering the lives of UK citizens by weaponising Government. Obscene, despicable, duplicitous politicking.

Trump's actions, Starmer's support are a shameful indictment of the 'western democracies' driving our planet & its people into war, disease, poverty & climate catastrophe. If Bush & Blair's crimes had been punished, this wouldn't be happening. What is the point of the UN? We are the rogue states.
