Why are you the only person saying this.. that Iran somehow got its hands on a Tomahawk and bombed its own elementary school on the first day of the war โ€ฆ

FYI this is NY Times reporter Shawn McCreesh

A DOGE staffer assigned to the National Endowment for the Humanities to flag grants for "DEI" tries to explain what "DEI" is. This deposition is part of a lawsuit by the @acls1919.bsky.social, @historians.org and @modernlanguage.bsky.social.

If there were credible allegations against a Democratic president that he had punched a 13 yr old girl in the face after she bit his penis while he was raping her, Fox would be running that shit on a loop 24/7 and calling for his arrest/execution let alone his impeachment.

MASSIE: โ€œIran is not Venezuela. The Ayatollah was not a president.

Kristi Noem Ran DHS Into the Ground. Thatโ€™s Not Why She Got Fired. Kristi Noem just found Trumpโ€™s red line, becoming the first cabinet member to be fired in his second term. But it wasnโ€™t for the reasons youโ€™d think.

โ€œKristi Noem tried to upstage the President. And Trump would never stand for that. You can run an agency into the ground, and trample all over Americansโ€™ constitutional rights, and use government funding like itโ€™s your own personal slush fund. But you absolutely cannot steal Trumpโ€™s spotlight."

Donald Trump does not care about affordability for the average American family.

Trump fired Kristi Noem.

It wasn't because her immigration agents murdered American citizens. Or the repeated violations of due process. Or even her mismanagement of FEMA.

No, Noem was fired because she upstaged Trump. He wants to be on Mt. Rushmore, after all.

This is the mind of our president.

Hey, all you disingenuous Republicans claiming what the United States is currently engaging in Iran isn't a war:

Last year, the Department overseeing operations [illegally] changed its name to "The Department of WAR," not "The Department of Limited Defensive Engagements."

PAT RYAN: 'Does the US want to be the policeman of the Middle East getting nothing but spending precious lives & trillions.' Rng a bell?

COLBY: Defer to you

C: Defer to you

R: That was actually you

They claim to have been planning this for months, to allegedly keep Americans safe, but had no plan to evacuate any Americans from the region because it happened too quickly.

Weird.

We need to pass a House rule or law that requires them to work a certain number of days to get paid. Since Mike Johnson took over these people hardly ever work. When they finally come back after weeks off they work 2 days and he sends them home for 2 more weeks. Itโ€™s ridiculous.

Pic of a MAGA hat with soldiers going in the front and coming out in caskets draped with the American flag. The back of the cap says Make Israel Great Again.

Seems like the media should at least express some curiosity about this.

Former Middle East adviser at the US Department of Defense, Jasmine El-Gamal, has it exactly right.

Mark Zuckerberg Dropped $170 Million for an Waterfront Estate on Miamiโ€™s Indian Creek Island The Meta CEO's purchase has set a record as the most expensive home ever sold in Miami-Dade County.

Every click, every post, every ad we endured built Zuckerbergโ€™s fortune. Now he buys a $170M private resort in Florida and pushes his property empire toward $660M in a state with no income tax because god forbid any of these Oligarchs pay back to society what we helped them achieve.

It actually doesn't matter whether this war is unpopular or not if you have a party that clearly has no intention of getting re-elected through democratic means.
