I guess firing 1300 career diplomats from the State Department—many of them were Middle East and terrorism experts—would lead you to make amateurish and stupid mistakes like this one 👇

Depleted oil reserve leaves US exposed as Iran war pushes up prices Donald Trump has not fulfilled a vow to refill the Strategic Petroleum Reserve that was drained by Joe Biden

Why did Trump refuse to fill up the SPR?

More importantly, why did he not fill up the SPR knowing that he was taking the country to war & the probability of Iran turning the Strait of Hormuz into a parking lot was very high?

They *really* planned this war in an amateurish way.

Iran appeared to surveil center where U.S. forces were killed in Kuwait, Army memo says In the week before an Iranian retaliatory strike that killed six U.S. service members, Iranian intelligence was likely able to identify and track American forces, according to a memo reviewed by CBS N...

New: Army memo said Iranian intelligence was likely able to identify and track the American service members who moved to the tactical operations center in Kuwait that was struck by a drone killing six. Smaller drones were suspected of conducting aerial recon. www.cbsnews.com/news/iran-ap...

Last night, I spoke to former Army Pfc. Jeremy Watson who said this about Capt. Cody Khork: “[he] enjoyed being in the service…and was a great coach,” who taught him “Compassion, friendship, loyalty…[and] to always try to stay positive when you can.”

Lindsey Halligan Is Under Investigation by the Florida Bar

BREAKING NYT:

Lindsey Halligan, the ex-U.S. attorney in the Eastern District of Virginia who brought criminal cases against Trump's enemies over the objections of career prosecutors, is under investigation by Florida's bar association, according to a letter the organization sent last month.

Ah, that explains the [ahem] trial ballon yesterday about DOJ being able to prevent bar association ethics investigations.

“.. If we bomb, disrupt and exit, there is no telling what could happen over the course of the summer,” said one Republican member of Congress ..

“.. I don’t know that the administration could have possibly thought it through,” the lawmaker said.

BREAKING: I tried to pass a bill to pay TSA agents and fund FEMA as Democrats push for common sense reforms to protect Americans from being killed by untrained and masked DHS agents.

Guess what? Republicans BLOCKED it.

Are Congressional Republicans OK? Teamsters, kidneys and babies, oh my.

Another Senate seat opening!

Noem out. www.ms.now/news/kristi-...

Remember this when Donald Trump tells you we can’t afford health care.

I am pleased to announce that the Highly Respected United States Senator from the Great State of Oklahoma, Markwayne Mullin, will become the United States Secretary of Homeland Security (DHS), effective March 31, 2026. The current Secretary, Kristi Noem, who has served us well, and has had numerous and spectacular results (especially on the Border!), will be moving to be Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas, our new Security Initiative in the Western Hemisphere we are announcing on Saturday in Doral, Florida. I thank Kristi for her service at "Homeland."

🚨🚨 Trump replacing Kristi Noem with Sen. Markwayne Mullin R-OK.

She will be transferred to be Evita Peron instead.

Very strong statement from the First Lady of Iraq:

Emmanuel Damas was a Haitian asylum seeker living in Massachusetts. His death in ICE custody is a terrible tragedy. I’ve been working with his family to uncover the truth. We must demand full accountability from ICE for his death.

Washington Post: In rare move, Veterans Affairs pulls back on controversial disability rule

It took the full might of the Veteran community to get them to back down on this.

Otherwise, they were set to cut disability benefits... merely a week before throwing a new generation of troops into war.

And they really think we believe they care about those who serve?

PAT RYAN: 'Does the US want to be the policeman of the Middle East getting nothing but spending precious lives & trillions.' Rng a bell?

COLBY: Defer to you

C: Defer to you

R: That was actually you

As Trump attempts to control us, it is on us, the people, to show that we will fight to protect one another and our country. We are coming together again on March 28 because we know we can overcome this repression when we unite.

FT comments section this morning - saying what everyone else is thinking, right?

As I predicted 3 days ago..

Midterms.

The accountability and consequences begins

Trump's disregard for US constitution 'a blitzkrieg on the law', legal experts .. Feb 1, 2025 - Scholars warn of president's lawlessness in actions such as federal funding freeze and birthright citizenship order.

What happens if a president violates the Constitution?

What happens if every GOP Senator does too? And every cabinet member?

Asking for a friend.

They’ve already seeded the next few generations.

It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist.

He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.

Ohio sends voter registration data of nearly 8 million residents to DOJ Secretary of State LaRose says the handover is required under federal law.

Shame on Ohio for handing over personal voter data to DOJ.

While other states DEFEND their voters and elections from Trump’s attacks, Ohio happily gives in.
