Donald Trump is planning to use his attack on Iran to justify a power grab over voting in the 2026 midterms. The fact that the attack violates the Constitution wonβt stop him from trying. It is our job to expose this plot and ensure that it does not succeed. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...
"The Peace President." [Cartoon by Benjamin Slyngstad]
A highly complex website showing two betting accounts earning nearly $500,000 and $120,000 on a minimal number of positions.
In case you were wondering, Polymarket had yet another spate of likely inside traders betting that the US would strike Iran by February 28.
Per the due diligence investigation service Bubblemaps, the wallets used were created 24 hours earlier.
The Pentagon Pizza Index has been replaced.
These children died for Trump's greed and literally nothing else

Congress must be rolling over in their graves right now.
Saying youβre no longer a Trump supporter is like saying youβre no longer a Cannibal. People might believe you, but no one is going to ask you to babysit their kids. Some decisions/actions follow you for life.
The US and Israel have, in fact, begun an illegal war with Iran. The US lured Iran into talks and seemingly reached an agreement that Iran would end its uranium enrichment. As of 8:00 AM, Israel and the US launched a surprise attack on Iran with the intent of assassinating its leadership

One thing we donβt do well, societally or interpersonally, is digest harms when there really isnβt anyone to blame.
Being called a n*gger on international television in front of your peers is a harm.
Having a disability that creates that harm through no choice of your own is a harm.

NEGUSE: AG Bondi, that man works for you now, right? The man in that video from J6 yelling 'kill them!' at cops. His name is Jared Wise.
BONDI: He does work for us, yes. I believe he was pardoned
NEGUSE: And you expect hard-working police officers to believe you take law enforcement seriously?
Iβve watched a lot of congressional hearings over the last 40 years. This performance by Bondi is the single most unprofessional, non-responsive, reprehensible and obnoxious I have ever seen from any witness who has testified before any committee of either chamber.

Pour one out for every professional political pundit, writer, consultant whatever that has spent the last decade trying to pretend that the Trump phenomenon was about trade or opiates and not a big chunk of white america losing its mind over having a black president bsky.app/profile/kyle...
Wait! The public face of nationwide immigration enforcement, Gregory Bovino, said in a newly discovered email that his boss wasnβt the head of CBP. He reported to Corey Lewandowski instead.

βI have reason to believe he was killed because he was about to name names. I believe Present Trump authorized is murder.β
Yes, it should.
