Well, no shit. Iβve been raising the alarm on this for years now

Protesters are marching on Michigan Avenue now.
Chanting, "money for jobs and education! Not for war and occupation!"
Happening now: ~200 protesters have gathered off Chicago's Michigan Avenue this afternoon for another demo condemning U.S.-Israeli attacks on Iran and Lebanon.
Israeli airstrikes killed dozens in Lebanon overnight. Thousands of families have been displaced after widespread evacuation orders.
Iran retaliated with missile and drone bombardments against U.S. bases and allied territory, targeting military facilities across the Gulf, including Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar. One Iranian drone killed six American service members at a U.S. command center in Kuwait. Asked whether Americans should be worried about retaliatory attacks at home, Trump acknowledges the possibility. βI guess,β he says. βBut I think theyβre worried about that all the time. We think about it all the time. We plan for it. But yeah, you know, we expect some things. Like I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die."
Donald Trumpβs White House is blocking top US intelligence agencies from warning law enforcement across the country about rising threats to the homeland tied to his war with Iran, the Daily Mail can reveal. The FBI, Homeland Security, and the National Counterterrorism Center were preparing to put out a joint intelligence statement on Friday to state and local authorities alerting them of a heightened threat due to the ongoing war in Iran, a senior DHS official said. The bulletin, which was reviewed by the Daily Mail, details 'elevated threats by the government of Iran to US military and government personnel and facilities, Jewish and Israeli institutions and their perceived supporters, and Iranian dissidents and other anti-regime activists in the United States.' 'Radicalized individuals with a variety of ideological backgrounds also may see this conflict or other geopolitical events as a justification for violence,' the report continues. The five-page bulletin blocked by the White House provides specific details on how Iranian proxies may carry out attacks across the country. One section explains how local law enforcement can respond to this type of violence. The official title is 'A Public Safety Awareness Report: Elevated threat in the United States during US-Iran conflict'. Homeland Security broke protocol and gave the White House a heads-up about the nationwide bulletin hours before it was set to be released. Top Trump officials ordered it placed on βholdβ. The White House did not deny blocking the terror bulletin in a statement to the Daily Mail.
Time: Asked if Americans should be worried abt attacks at home: I guess.
Daily Mail: The White House blocked release of FBI/NCTC warning of elevated risks.
Underrated tweet.
You know, I kinda suspect Trump's Persian isn't any better than his English
MAGA base loves this π©
Oil prices are up ~35% this week after Trump started his war on Iran.
This is the highest level since 2023.
Last week Trump bragged at the State of the Union about bringing oil prices down. They are now soaring.
Oil up by $12 a barrel in less than 12 hours.
Gas prices skyrocketing.
Almost 100,000 jobs lost last month.
Another war in the Middle East.
Are we great again yet?
1 week
Ok maybe 3 weeks
Wait, 5ish weeks seems right
Probably until September
INDEFINITELY!
Trumpβs best buddy Vladimir Putin is helping Iran in their efforts to target and kill American troops.
Let that sink in.
Payrolls shrink; nightmare won't quit. #econsky
US Employers Unexpectedly Cut Jobs, Unemployment Rises February data call labor market stabilization narrative into question
Congrats to everyone who voted for Trump and a Republican Congress "for the economy." This is what you get, a sputtering job creation engine that can't make progress like before and keeps rolling backwards.

An absolute must-watch
"Wow. A big drop" -- CNBC highlights that labor force participation is now the lowest it has been since in late 2021, before the covid vaccine was widely available
The restrictions Miller and Hegseth railed against were designed to prevent us from doing things like slaughtering children en masse.
Worse than the worst War on Terror drone strikes. By innocents killed, worse than multiple of the worst drone strike errors combined.
The fuck kind of answer is this

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. Sheβs married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.
Theyβve already sent her to Louisiana.
What a surprise.
The Justice Department's handling of the Epstein files is under increased scrutiny with new congressional subpoenas and a promise of the release of more records soon.
Markwayne Mullin, hours after federal agents shot and killed Alex Pretti:
"Tell me what crime ICE is doing, other than doing their job"
Trump just put the only senator without a bachelors degree in charge of homeland security
Well. Be careful what you wish for?
