So according to the WSJ a US Senator conspired with another country to manipulate the US into starting a war, am I getting this right

Judge rules Kari Lake unlawfully ran U.S. media agency, voiding layoffs Sweeping layoffs at Voice of America made by Trump appointee Kari Lake were declared void by a federal judge, who said she served unlawfully.

BREAKING:

A federal judge in Washington just ruled that Kari Lake has unlawfully served as chief executive of the U.S. Agency for Global Media — which oversees Voice of America — and nullified many actions she has taken in the role, including mass layoffs of staff.

The Pentagon says it's investigating the strike on the girls' school in Iran that killed over 100 ages 7-12. Somehow the war criminals investigating war crimes doesn't fill me with confidence.

Like clockwork.

DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.

He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.

The grift continues.

Iceland locks in on date for EU referendum | Euractiv As a member of the European Economic Area, Iceland is already aligned with much of the bloc's legislation

Just announced: Iceland has urgently moved up its referendum to join the European Union - to 29 August.

A reminder: 🇮🇸 is in many ways already a non-voting 🇪🇺 member because of the EEA. This would give them voting power to shape the laws they have to follow.

We can throw another $500,000,000,000 at the Pentagon this year and spend $1,000,000,000/day on a wholly useless war, but we can't afford to hire doctors and nurses to take care of our veterans? The United States is such an irresponsible, messed up country right now.

Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:

Jacobs: The Trump administration doesn’t give a shit about the Iranian people… They are literally deporting people back to Iran who fled the brutal Iranian regime.

He doesn’t care about human rights anywhere — not here in the United States, not in Iran, not anywhere else.

A couple things…

The “conflict“ in Iran *IS* a war.
It is a war of choice.
It is warfare without conscious.
It was unprovoked.

And I’m sick and tired of people suggesting & implying the only tragedies herein are that US Service Members have died. The people of Iran are innocents in this conflict!

A remarkably EVIL coalition.

Trump & Netanyahu’s alliance…Both men are in a fight to stay out of prison.

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.

But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

This is a waste of tax payers money.

The competition for the dumbest member of the United States Senate has just heated up with the elimination of one its strongest contestants!!

A budget is a moral document.

John Fetterman (Pa.)
Maggie Hassan (N.H.)
Tim Kaine (Va.)
Andy Kim (N.J.)
Gary Peters (Mich.)
Jeanne Shaheen (N.H.)
Elissa Slotkin (Mich.)

These Dem Senators have one thing in common. They all voted for Kristie Noem to head the DHS. Fetterman is a lost cause but the rest better not approve Mullin.

Senator Markey 🎯

The reason we have “stupid rules of engagement” is to make sure we don’t bomb elementary schools.

WTF 🤬

I'm over the god shit this administration is pushing. They are literally the least godly people around.

Our nation is again at war, not because we had to but because the president recklessly chose to.

Now we must recognize who pays the price: not the president and his wealthy allies, but service members and ordinary Americans.

Now, if he'd only give the orange horror & his Nosferatu-look-alike "deputy chief of staff for policy homeland security advisor" (Concentration Camp Commandant) Nazi stephen miller the same push back instead of still enabling everyone fr. trump all the way to noem-the last in the line of succession.

There you have it. "This is President Trump's War."

Own it all, Republicans.

The glibness. The indifference. The carelessness. The utter lack of planning for a war against a country of 90M. The sickness of a man who acts on whim that will kill thousands not hundreds. The horror of a regime that enables this sickness. The broken body politic that votes in such malignancy.

Once again, a single cartoon tells more truth that the entire US Congress.

Thanks to Rick McKee for making our current situation easy to understand.
