Trump on terrorist attacks in America: βLike I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die."
Trump on terrorist attacks in America: βLike I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die."
I just left a classified briefing with the Trump Administration about the war in Iran.
I was worried before, but Iβm more worried now.
Russia attacked a passenger train in Mykolaiv with a Shahed drone early in the morning, once again targeting civilian infrastructure.
Rescue efforts are ongoing.

There's been a lot of debate within the Democratic establishment about what rhetoric to use via ICE.
Well, an incumbent doesn't lose by 48 percentage points very oftenβand her vote on collaborating with ICE was the defining issue here.
OTD in 2014 i denied the masked, armed men in Crimea were Russian soldiers. I lied.
But you can believe me over a peace deal now
OTD in 2014 we denied we were going to annex Ukraine.
Then we denied we wanted more of Ukraine
Then we denied we wanted all of Ukraine
And now we deny we want more of Ukraine we denied we wanted.
The Republicans seem to be prepping an argument that any domestic terror attacks in the aftermath of their Iran attacks will be the fault of Democrats for shutting down DHS funding, so I'd like to remind everyone of this appointment:
Polls close at 7:30pm ET in North Carolina.
In Arkansas, at 7:30pm local time. (So 8:30pm ET.)
In Texas, at 7pm local time. (So 8pm or 9pm in ET.)
In New Mexico, also at 7pm local time. (So 9pm ET.)
All I'm watching in these states, on one pageβand bookmark it as we'll add results!
Europe must not assist the US in its war against Iran:
1. Europe must focus on helping Ukraine defeat Russia.
2. Trump has abandoned Ukraine & gone over to Russia.
3. The Israeli-US war against Iran is a war of choice.
4. Rubio: Israel compelled the US to join. /1
So to recap the US is in a war that has already spiraled into a regional conflict and cost US troops lives and saw several bases and at least one embassy hit. And hundreds to thousands of Americans are trying to get out and the admin is scrambling to get them out and saying there was no plan to?
Trump asks his advisers, live on camera, whether he should cut off "all business having to do with Spain"
Q: Commercial air travel is severely restricted in the Middle East. Thousands of Americans are stranded. Why wasn't there an evacuation plan?
TRUMP: Because it happened all very quickly
But we can't send it to Ukraine to help save civilian lives against the Russians because.... reasons.
Pahlavi just got the full Maria Corina Machado treatment. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Trump: "Most of the people we had in mind are dead. We had some in mind from that group that is dead. And now we have another group. They may be dead also. Pretty soon we're not gonna know anybody. I mean, Venezuela was so incredible because we did the attack and we kept govt totally in tact."
All Americans I know want to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.
All Americans I know would like to see theocracy fall and democracy emerge in Iran.
The debate is not about these objectives but about the most effective means of achieving them.
Is war the best means? I'm skeptical.
a slurring Trump in new video on American troops killed by Iran: βSadly, there will likely be more before it ends. That's the way it is. Likely be more.β
Do you remember when Trump got very upset because of untrue Russian claims that Ukraine had tried to kill his beloved Putin?
He could not care less that Putin had tried to kill Zelensky many times.
Now Trump celebrates the killing of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei...
π―π―
Each one of those three missiles costs 33% more than the annual budget of the national park where I work.
People in Iran celebrate the alleged death of Khamenei, with fireworks launched in Tehran. After news of his alleged death, residents shout from windows in joy. #Iran
These people have no shame. No president has worked so hard to censor the stories of African Americans. #BlackHistoryMonth www.whitehouse.gov/videos/ameri...
Looks like the US has a great deal to learn about anti-drone defense. What has the Pentagon been doing for the last year. Did they prepare for this?
Trump gave his longest address ever. Democrats stayed out of the trap. Spanberger delivered a disciplined response. Nothing moved. Weβre still on track for a blue wave.

The new UT/TX Politics Project poll does not meet at least two of our rules for reporting polls:
1) It was in the field for 15 days. The maximum we allow is an already-long 14.
2) It didn't allow respondents to say they're undecided.
There's another concern as well.
The list can go on, but the results are clear: Despite investing everything they got into this senseless war, Russians have failed, big times. But in order to bring the war to an end, more has to be done. Ukraine's victory is the only path to sustainable peace.
years ago Russia launched the full scale war into Ukraine. The results are:
- Russia failed to topple the Ukrainian government
- Russia failed to defeat the Ukrainian army
- Russia failed to defeat the will of the Ukrainian people
- Russia failed to take Kyiv

Today, four years ago Russia started its full-scale and illegal war of aggression against Ukraine.
We stand firm with Ukraine for a just and lasting peace. For a strong and sovereign Ukraine in a strong and sovereign Europe.
