Brian McGinnis' wife has
NOT been allowed to see him in the hospital.
He is currently awaiting surgery for severe injuries.
Legal counsel has also been denied access.
A Marine veteran.
A firefighter.
A father of four.
And his family still cannot see him.

so apparently Brian McGinnis has been denied access to both his family and legal representation since a sitting senator broke his arm

So let me get this straight ...

1. US bombs Iran
2. Oil price goes up a bit, benefitting Russia's petrostate
3. Russia gives Iran targeting info
4. Oil price shoots WAY up
5. US unsanctions Russian oil

How much is the war with Iran costing the US? One bipartisan think tank puts the cost of the Iran war at some $891 million a day for the first four days of the attack β€” or $3.7 billion total.

DoD won't say how much Operation Epic Fury might cost, but one bipartisan think tank is putting the price tag at some $891M a day for the first four days of the attackβ€”or $3.7B total.

There is a saying that when plans for war are made, the enemy has a say. Well, in this case, so do allies who are disproportionately affected.

Energy market analysts say the impact of the Iran War on supply could be bigger than the 1973 oil embargo.

I’m still in disbelief that Capitol Police and a Republican senator broke the arm of a Marine in full dress uniform because he was voicing opposition to sending troops to Iran. Horrifying.

NEW: At least nine secretive ICE detention facilities are scattered around the state, tucked into strip malls and industrial parks. More than 3,000 people were held in them last year, including a 1-year-old girl.

This case is horrifying. The man had deferred action, was on a full path to a green card, is a college grad magna cum laude, and ICE arrested him randomly while looking for someone else:

β€œWhat do we do?” said one ICE officer, to which another replied β€œWe’re going to take him with us anyway.”

The irrational strongman we’ve been warned about is here His name is Donald J. Trump.

"Trump's attack on Iran is terrifying in part because it's so untethered from policy goals and logic. He offered a range of half-hearted explanations for his rush to war, but the conflicting excuses only underlined the obvious truth β€” he attacked Iran because he felt like it."

Yesterday, The Sheriffs, MPD and law enforcement brutally put down a peaceful anti-ICE protest outside of the Whipple Federal Building in Minneapolis.

There has been little to no coverage of what is happening in Minneapolis since Trump's supposed stand down, which is why we need to spread the word.

Crow: "Friday night, Trump filmed this tough video where he talked about the cost of war & how hard it's gonna be & how we're gonna lose troops, then he literally went behind the curtain & hosted a million dollar a plate dinner & dance party at Mar-a-Lago.

Thanks to the Epstein War on Iran, that Trump, the GOP, and those Christian fundamentalists jonesing for their rapture, launched, I can no longer celebrate my favorite holiday. I hope they're happy when they find that the rapture is a fantasy and they're stuck living in the hellscape they created.

SecDef Hegseth Announces Trans Scouts In Scouting America Will Be Outed, Segregated The policy is the latest in a trend of organizations capitulating to Trump over transgender people.

1. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has announced that under a new deal with Scouting America, formerly Boy Scouts of America, trans scouts will be forcibly outed and segregated from peers of their gender.

The policy is the latest cruel capitulation.
