The Most Chilling Detail in the U.S. Attack on an Iranian Naval Ship The Iranian warship was taking part in an international exercise with many other countries—including the United States.

This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

Prior to being asked any questions regarding the case,
the agents asked
whether they could audio record the interview.
advised she was not
comfortable being recorded at that time.
requested agents explain to her
the goal and parameters of the fourth interview.
She indicated she was
aware that because she was victimized several years prior, the statutes of limitation of any viable federal violation may have run.
She asked agents,
"what's the point?" The agents explained that all victims of crime should have the opportunity to tell their story; they wanted to provide her with that opportunity should she choose to accept.
The agents also explained why

DOJ has posted some pages of the missing Epstein files related to the FBI’s belated investigation of Trump’s participation in Epstein crimes after Epstein’s arrest and death in custody in 2019, and they are as bleak as you might expect. www.documentcloud.org/documents/27...

The difference between good literature and the classics is that the resonance of the prose remains constant.

I really encourage everyone to spend some time with the DHS Flickr page, which in one year posted thousands and thousands of glamour shot propaganda photos of Kristi Noem and little else. Our tax dollars! www.flickr.com/photos/dhsgov/

NEW: U.S. officials say Russia is providing Iran with intelligence to target American forces in the Middle East, including the locations of U.S. warships and aircraft, WaPo reports. Pete Hegseth recently said Russia is “not really a factor here.”

They told us the testimony was missing. Then suddenly last night, they found it.

I continue to be gobsmacked at 1) how common this formulation is 2) how antisemitic and generally bigoted it is 3) and how for all the talk of anti-semitism this is never cited as an example even though it’s quite literally the original incarnation.

This is great news. But I don’t believe it means a Democrat can win a statewide election.

So, Democrats were unaware of this? OMG. Where were they? We can’t underestimate the lengths the Republicans will go to steal elections.

kind of crazy that if you have enough money and don't like what you see in the media, you can just buy up every film studio, news station, and social media app and change it

But where were the Democrats? They were not paying attention when the Texas Secretary of State DID NOT UPDATE the precinct maps on their website last December.

Inflation reached 9% under Joe Biden, but dropped to 3% percent by the time he left office.

Let’s remember: Trump inherited declining inflation. Trump did not inherit “the worst inflation in the history of our country,” as he insisted (one of many lies) during his state of the union tirade.

Ossoff: "The president owes Americans a real explanation. 2am posts on Truth Social just aren't good enough when you're sending Americans into combat. He was dancing at his beach club the same night he ordered air crews to launch into combat & hours before our service members endured missile salvos"

Now you know why we are where we are today. Last year, he said we destroyed Iran's nuclear capabilities. That was another lie.

Trump’s intentions are never benign. It is naive to think otherwise.
