It looks like the war on Iran is going about as poorly as the regime’s previous wars against Chicago, Minnesota and Los Angeles.

Kristi Noem Misled Congress About Corey Lewandowski’s Role in DHS Contracts Testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Noem denied that Corey Lewandowski had any role in approving contracts. But internal DHS records and interviews with current and former agency staffer...

Kristi Noem personally approved all DHS contracts over a certain threshold.

But before the contracts reached her, they had to be approved by political appointees. Lewandowski was typically the last to OK a contract before Noem, DHS officials said.

Praying for the innocent lives. 🙏🏽

🚨 New airstrikes hit Tehran’s oil infrastructure. Reports say Israeli strikes targeted fuel storage and energy facilities, one of the most significant hits on Iran’s oil infrastructure since the war began.

Massive attacks on oil happening now.

The Ellisons’ new Paramount/Warner Bros mega-media monopoly would never pass muster if America still had antitrust enforcers.

So who can stop this? State attorneys general. Here's how. ⬇️

BREAKING: Judge rules Kari Lake's appointment was ILLEGAL for many months & a bunch of her actions are void

We & great partners win again!

H/t to my @democracydefendersfund.org colleagues plus AFSCME, AFGE, Emery Celli, Democracy Forward & more. Wow, just wow.

This is *nothing* dignified about wearing a cheap baseball cap that promotes yourself to the otherwise solemn ceremony to receive the bodies of the troops you had killed to distract from your bad economy and rampant pedophilia.

Reporter: Did the US bomb an elementary school and kill 175 people?

Trump: Based on what I’ve seen, it was done by Iran.

Reporter: Is that true Mr. Hegseth?

Hegseth: We’re investigating.

Trump: They are very inaccurate with their munitions. It was done by Iran.

The "Tan Suit" was a national scandal. The "Coffee Cup Salute" was an insult to the uniform. But a baseball cap at a Dignified Transfer? That's just "Saturday" for the MAGA movement.

Sources: Trump Is Dangerously Close to Sending Troops to Iran Advisers are urging the president ‘to go bigger to end this once and for all.’

Trump Is Dangerously Close to Sending Troops to Iran: Sources Tell Zeteo

People got real mad at Biden for looking at his watch during a dignified transfer.

Looking forward to the same outrage at Trump for wearing a fucking hat

the reverse version of those “evolution of man” drawings

This is disgusting, but also a tacit admission of just how horrible and indefensible it is.

Trump Is Risking a Global Stagflation Crisis With His Iran War The effect on oil and gas could be much, much larger than he thinks. And that shock will be passed on to every sector of the economy.

The effect on oil and gas could be much, much larger than he thinks. And that shock will be passed on to every sector of the economy.

Do you think this president would acknowledge that the six US service members killed in action may have died because Russia potentially provided Iran with the precise targeting? Details on my Substack: substack.com/@thefrankfig...

WATCH — @katiecouric.bsky.social : “Some 🇺🇸 military commanders have described what’s happening in Iran as a ‘Holy War’, part of God’s divine plan, with references to Biblical prophecy, that Trump has been anointed to cause Armageddon and mark Jesus’ return to Earth.”

It's a sign of the times that AI companies are deciding whether or not to allow the military to engage in mass surveillance of US citizens and this is treated as a legitimate debate of two reasonable positions.

This is no different from Putin saying MH17 was shot down by Ukraine or Assad saying rebels gassed themselves.

This is how liars lie (and how I call it out).

1. BREAKING

A federal judge has ruled that Kari Lake was not legally allowed to serve as acting CEO of the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM) because her appointment violated both the Constitution’s Appointments Clause and the Federal Vacancies Reform Act.

So Russia is helping Iran target American troops. Ukraine is offering drone defense.

Guess who Trump NEVER ONCE has EVER criticized?

Correct. Russia

Having some of the most thoroughly redacted thoughts of my life.

“The Last Republican” — now free to watch on YouTube.

“A compelling portrait of political courage in an era when courage is in short supply.”

“It’s less a political documentary than a study of the personal cost of telling the truth in modern politics.”

Q: “Can you give us an idea of what unconditional surrender looks like?”

TRUMP: “When they cry uncle or there’s nobody around to cry uncle.”

Y’all.
