We desperately need to grow independent media as fast as we can. You can start by signing up for Democracy Docket. I started it 6 years ago to be unapologetic pro-democracy. No corporate backers. It will never bow down or obey.

Sign up now to help it meet this moment. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

So Iran now has, perhaps for the first time, information about the location of our most sensitive covert sites in the region.

A completely foreseeable, unnecessary consequence of unnecessary war with Iran.

ICE is STILL in Minnesota and STILL terrorizing communities. Reporters that say otherwise are either uninformed (which....) or lazy (which... ) or just repeating regime lies (which... is also extremely bad).

People are still missing, people are and will be traumatized, businesses demolished...

Bensky: And then we have the moment where all of my information is released. All of these other survivors — all of our information is literally out there for the world to see. And you’re like, “Wow, the DOJ really — our government doesn’t care.”

Videos like this are utterly cathartic.

I want EVERY Dem to throw away decorum and politeness and start YELLING the truth, like Rep. McGovern.

[WARNING: This is a bit graphic.]

A Marine Corps veteran protesting Trump’s War on Iran had his arm broken by Capitol Police and GOP Senator Tim Sheehy. It appears to be a compound fracture.

Huge slap in the face to democracy. Democratic Colorado governor, @colorado.gov, just publicly signaled clemency to Tina peters, convicted of election interference. If election crimes have no consequences, why would the next denier stop?

Publicly, Sam Altman claimed OpenAI is amending its agreement with the Department of Defense(lies). Behind closed doors, however, he told employees during a Tuesday all-hands meeting that the company doesn’t “get to make operational decisions” about how its AI technology is used by the DoD. #QuitGPT

Garcia: "The truth is that Donald Trump and Republicans have cut billions of dollars from healthcare and food assistance, and used that money to hire officers who are now terrorizing cities and killing Americans. That's where our taxpayer dollars have gone."

The Iran War Is God’s Plan, Say U.S. Military Leaders (Who Believe Trump Was Anointed by Jesus) Didn’t the Bible tell us to beware false prophets?

Over 110 complaints by soldiers that they were told by officers on Monday that the Iran war is part of God’s plan & that Pres. Donald Trump was “anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon & mark his return to Earth”...

WHAT THE LIVING F*CK?

Meiselas: Trump is a parody in the most extreme sense of the boogeymen MAGA created to go after Dems. He’s quite literally all of it. He covers up the pedo ring. He starts wars everywhere. He uses government to tread on people.

He's the most extreme example of what they claimed they wanted to stop.

Chris Murphy: "It's just so disgusting to listen to the president be waxing poetically about the drapes he's buying while there are six Americans who are dead. There are six families who are about to bury their children because of a war of choice that no one in this country wanted, an illegal war."

You cannot talk like this about any other minority in America.

And if it was any other president’s adviser who said something like this about any other minority, it’d be the instant end of their presidency.

My take away from watching Trump’s speech today is that he has absolutely no concern or care for the soldiers who are out fighting his war.
