Journalist: Are you saying the US did not see intelligence that the Supreme Leader had ordered weaponisation? Rubio: That’s irrelevant Journalist: No, that’s a key point Rubio: No it’s not… Forget about intelligence

Jeffries said Trump still hasn’t briefed the Gang of Eight, and added “There’s zero evidence that I’ve seen that the nuclear program was completely and totally obliterated.”

JD Vance to Kristen Welker: “The president has clear authority to act to prevent proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.” Kristi Noem testified before Congress that Iran didn’t have nukes. Iraq War 2.0 thanks to Donald Trump.

Younger people will be shocked to hear this, but way back when I grew up, anytime you saw a movie where some government official stopped someone on the street and demanded to see their identification papers, that was supposed to let you know they were the *bad* guys.

The American people were lied to about Vietnam, with tragic consequences. The American people were lied to about Iraq, with tragic consequences. The American people are being lied to again today. We cannot allow history to repeat itself.

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.” www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

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?

I imagine a lot of people are feeling this disjunction in one way or another. ICE snatched this guy's wife and he still has to go to work for the Army every day. share.google/6F5QVKGCc6gF...

BREAKING: In a unanimous decision, a federal court of appeals has ruled that Louisiana's law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in all public school classrooms is unconstitutional. We’ll keep saying it: Public schools are not Sunday schools.

Why is this conspiratorial hate-tweet from our Senator Bernie Moreno still up in the wake of the assassinations in Minnesota? It’s inciting. It’s factually wrong. Even Mike Lee took this trash down. Calling on Senator Moreno to do the same.

The video of John Spitzberg's arrest has been shared widely across social platforms, becoming a crystalizing moment for those protesting the Trump administration.

Elon doesn’t like the answers Grok is giving about a disinfo specialist, so he says he will reprogram it 👇🏽 This is the propaganda machine they want to poison Memphis for? @MemphisHoller

🔥 Senator Duckworth scorches Hegseth: "Your failures have been staggering… You're just an unqualified yes man who can't tell the president how to keep Americans safe.” (She even went after his tattoos)

Powell: "What we're waiting for to reduce rates is to understand what will happen with really the tariff inflation... everyone that I know is forecasting a meaningful increase in inflation in coming months from tariffs, because somebody has to pay for them... some of it will fall on the consumer"

Jon Stewart asks: How many gun deaths is too many for the GOP?

Even a good article about how Trump refuses to fight the terrorism of his supporters anymore stops short of saying that Trump freed (and in one case, pardoned ) a number of adjudged terrorists convicted for Jan6. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

HIRONO: If ordered by the president to shoot peaceful protesters in the legs, would you carry it out? HEGSETH: Of course I reject the premise of your question HIRONO: Considering that the president in his first term actually ordered such a thing, it's not a premise you can reject

The editorial board of a publication in Sen. Mike Lee's home state of Utah called on him to apologize for his posts about the Minnesota shootings, writing that they “were unacceptable for anyone, let alone from a member of the Senate.”

damn -- Duckworth to Hegseth: "If you want to be the DHS secretary, maybe you can apply for that job when you're fired from this one due to your incompetence."

House Republicans passed the biggest health care cut in U.S. history. Senate Republicans’ response? Hold my beer. Now they’re pushing even deeper Medicaid cuts—knowing it’ll shut down rural hospitals, strip care from their own voters, and leave millions hanging.

DR OZ: 20 percent of the people who are Affordable Care Act exchanges are inappropriately on that program TAPPER: What do you mean? OZ: There's no real adjudication of how much money you're making

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

ICE deports Florida pastor's wife even though judge issued stay of deportation order. She was denied her medication—shackled by wrist, stomach & ankles, leaving severe bruising. Daughters: "We paid everything they asked us, filled out forms, and not skipping anything.”

The Tucker-Ted Cruz interview goes off the rails when Ted calls Tucker an anti-Semite and Tucker calls Ted a “sleazy feline.”

SLOTKIN: Have you given the order to be able to shoot at unarmed protesters in any way? HEGSETH: What is that based on? SLOTKIN: It is based on Trump giving that order to your predecessor, who I give a lot of credit to bc he didn't accept the order. He has more guts & balls than you

KAINE: “You didn’t call any of the families. They learned about it from the press.” @sentimkaine calls out @petehegseth for not having the courtesy to call the families of the 🇺🇸 soldiers whose names he’s stripping from military bases to put the names of Confederate generals back.

fact check.
