This.

If the president does it, it's not a leak. He's just telling you.

So, let's be clear...Iran moved the uranium and apparently many of those who worked at the enrichment facilities. And we have just ignited their desire to produce a weapon and may have generated support for them from others (Russia, NK, etc.) It's possible the attack was, in layman's terms, a flop.

1. Trump announces where he will bomb in Iran to destroy its nuclear inventory. 2. Iran moves its nuclear inventory from those locations. 3. Trump bombs those locations. 4. Trump: "Yay! Our strikes were a COMPLETE success! Mission accomplished!!!" 5. Iran rolls its eyes & jacks up US gas prices.

Seems like an important point

There's no need to fear. This 22-year-old former grocery store clerk and gardener is in charge of counterterrorism at the Department of Homeland Security.

KTLA - Narciso Barranco, a father to three sons who are all US Marines, pepper-sprayed and punched in the face by alleged federal immigration officers while he was working as a landscaper at an IHOP. He was then forced into the back of an unmarked car in Santa Ana.

This is the kind of excessive force case DOJ routinely prosecutes. They should open an investigation here, based on the misconduct not the victims status.

“He has always worked hard to put food on the table for us and my mom,” said Alejandro. “He was always careful and always did his taxes on time. He never caused any problems and he is known as a kind and helping person by everyone in our community.” santanero.org/2025/06/21/l...

Sober assessment from General Hertling

“family members identified the victim as Narciso Barranco, a father to three sons who are all U.S. Marines” ktla.com/news/local-n...

These ICE agents are an embarrassment to law enforcement. Imagine being so afraid of being a public servant that they have to cover their face. Under no circumstances should any arresting officer be lawfully allowed to shield his/her identity.

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?

Don't worry. Our new counterterrorism guy will just fend off attacks with his fearsome stare. www.thedailybeast.com/22-year-old-...

This is not how you conduct effective and democratically legitimate U.S. national security operations.

Now that Trump has ordered an air strike on Iran, never forget how utterly the New York Times and people like Maureen Dowd failed us from the beginning.

We should all be saluting the Senate Parliamentarian who is defending the rules vs. lawless, rapacious Senate R's. Knocking out a host of reprehensible policy items that do not comply with reconcilliation rules. It is not an easy task. This is what it means to take responsibility for our democracy.

Bombing Iran is to distract us from ICE which is to distract us from tariffs which are to distract us from the looting of our country

Please don’t presume this is now an American president making a serious decision for the good of America, not a malignant despot desperate to be seen as a strong man.

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.

Just to be crystal clear: bombing Iran is completely illegal.

As an American, I hope Iran’s nuclear weapons program is destroyed… maybe ended. I also hope US involvement could end with one strike, with the Iranians deterred from responding and escalating. Seems doubtful. My thoughts are with the troops.

I was briefed on the intelligence last week. Iran posed no imminent threat of attack to the United States. Iran was not close to building a deliverable nuclear weapon. The negotiations Israel scuttled with their strikes held the potential for success.

i really need clear advice on when precisely i’m free to spend down my life savings as fast as possible

I am looking for congressional leaders to come out quickly and forcefully against this. We need unequivocal opposition. We need theatric demonstrations of defiance. We need to see leadership. Trump will steamroll us all if we display weakness. Where are our leaders?

just saw a group of masked men stuffing masked ICE agents into an unmarked car, who were saying "we're ICE we're ICE!" but the abductors shouted to the crowd "no we're ICE!" no one knew who was ICE, so no one in the crowd said anything.

BREAKING: We now have confirmation from Reuters and NBC that B2 bombers are being moved toward Iran, to Guam. This is what would be needed for a strike, if Trump gives the green light.

CATO: “New nonpublic data from ICE indicates the government is primarily detaining individuals with no criminal convictions of any kind… 93% had no violent convictions… 65% no criminal record at all…” @MarshaBlackburn www.cato.org/blog/65-peop...

A Virginia guy hunted a Latino man, cornered him, questioned him, and then shot him and his friend, because he assumed the guy was an undocumented immigrant. He was radicalized by Fox News etc. and, of course, Trump. www.wric.com/news/local-n...

Job Garcia’s kidnapping by the Trump administration is the top story on the LA Times website right now. www.latimes.com/california/s...

ICE took this man’s gardeners from his front yard. They left the lawnmower running, and left the gardeners’ truck standing open in the driveway, keys and cell phones thrown on the front seat. Neither the client nor the gardeners’ families know how to reach them. youtu.be/1DhkUiTJN5A?...

"These armed bounty hunters stormed a family's home in Huntington Beach no warrant, no ID, weapons drawn on kids. Do you recognize them? Help us identify them.

If an administration ends the suicide hotlines for only one group of people, I think it's fair for the public to conclude that the admin is OK with knowing their decision will result in countless deaths of the people in the group they have targeted. I hope lawsuits are filed. Here's why: 1/5

Shouldn’t the NY Times headline note that this new policy breaks the law?

"Only time will tell whether the Court is as eager to apply today’s stringent argument-preservation approach to major corporations and professional advocacy organizations as it is to use this line of reasoning to dismiss the claims of a retired firefighter suffering from Parkinson’s" Lord have mercy
