New in PN: Trump’s reckless Iran strikes could backfire spectacularly "America has entered few wars with less forethought, less deliberation, and more contempt for the public. Trump has recklessly endangered the country and world. It’s not much consolation that he may also have endangered himself."

Has anyone actually been arrested/charged for “doxing” ICE, DHI, or CBP officers? Seems like the sort of thing civil liberties groups should litigate the hell out of — both to make clear that doing so is 1A protected, and to obliterate the idea that these goons have any right to anonymity.

Trump bombed Iran so he could negotiate a cease fire and get the Nobel Peace Prize? Does that sound about right? Not likely especially since 2 seconds after announcing a cease fire, Israel and Iran both violated it. Forget the Nobel, how about "Dunce of the World"?
