Kash Patel’s latest firings ousted agents with expertise in Iran The FBI director gutted a specialized, global espionage unit of counterintelligence agents, just days before Operation Epic Fury.

TERRIBLE TIMING: When FBI Director Kash Patel fired a dozen FBI agents and staff last week for their role in the classified documents investigation of Donald Trump, he targeted an elite counter espionage unit that investigates threats from foreign adversaries and specializes in Iran.

β€œThe Intern in Charge”: Meet the 22-Year-Old Trump’s Team Picked to Lead Terrorism Prevention One year out of college and with no apparent national security expertise, Thomas Fugate is the Department of Homeland Security official tasked with overseeing the government’s main hub for combating v...

The Republicans seem to be prepping an argument that any domestic terror attacks in the aftermath of their Iran attacks will be the fault of Democrats for shutting down DHS funding, so I'd like to remind everyone of this appointment:

I hear an owl softly hooting. Around me most are sleeping. I hear the soft rasp of a screen door open and a neighbor cajole their dog to do his business. Quietly, the moon treks the sky, dusky red to the world. #LunarEclipse

There is such a stillness to an eclipse, be it lunar or solar.

Remember, they can wage an unconstitutional war, send ICE Gestapo into our cities to kidnap and kill Americans, transform our media landscape into State TV, crater our economy, and make it harder to vote in the midterms β€” and we’re STILL not going to forget the Epstein Files.

So, I guess they did NO planning for the war they started at 2AM?

Fact Check: Trump DID start this war.

The Pentagon confirmed there was no evidence Iran was going to attack the U.S.

No imminent threat. No exit plan or strategy.

Just more lies from this regime as they cost the lives of service members and innocent civilians.

"No stupid rules of engagement" is how you shoot down three of your own F-15s in one day. Just a shocking display of martial ineptitude.

so far i think in the last 48 hours trump has called

- michael scherer at the atlantic
- jonathan karl, abc
- jake tapper, cnn
- axios
- bret baier, fox news
- the new york times
- the washington post

just noting that when he wants to sell a war, suddenly theyre not "fake news" anymore

Are you fucking kidding me? As Trump rambles through his press conference about his war, he pivots to talking about his ballroom.

It’s insane this is legal. People around Trump are profiting off war and death. I’m introducing legislation ASAP to ban this.

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads:

The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.

And our governments are very much the same...

- Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Blue26.org Not a PAC. Just helping raise money for Democratic candidates to help save democracy.

I know it’s been a long day, but a quick reminder that it’s also the last day of the month, which is a big deal for candidates re campaign finance reports.

Pick a page, pick some Dems & donate before midnight!
