Trump can appoint Mullins as "acting" secretary of DHS, therefore getting around Democratic obstruction.
That said, the Democrats should stand united against confirming ANYONE to lead DHS, as part of a general shutdown of Senate business, as my senator suggests here.
Maybe I'm kirking out but the unreality of this war is wild. People posting that thousands of Kurds are fighting the regime for the CIA, while the Kurds say it isn't happening. Every video of a missile attack I just have to assume is AI whether it is real or not.
This is not going to happen.
They don’t want them to take the wheel. They just want bodies as canon fodder.
You don't need Congress to declare a war, but you do need one to pay for it.🤡
Dems have the leverage needed to stop the war. I can't wait to see how they once again talk themselves into giving up all of that leverage and just going along with everything.
This didn’t happen and won’t.
I24 news is owned by an Israeli- French Billionaire. It feels like there’s a lot of noise being made to try to start something. These things have to be verified and cross-referenced because there is no objective media there.
There’s a former Kurdish VOA reporter ( who I personally have known) spouting this disinformation. It’s false. Be very careful who you repeat.
It’s not true.
False
Ridiculous disinformation and you should delete it. KRG forces have reinforced the border, they have no plans to be ground forces. The claims made about Kurdish forces in Iran are exaggerated- to TRY and incite involvement.
THE HORRIFIC BOOK BANNING BILL IN WYOMING WAS KILLED.
IT'S DEAD!!!!!!
If your knee-jerk right now is "yeah but so many other ones," cool. *Not right here or right now.*
Celebrating advocacy and hard work matters.

A tooth infection.

"Hey Kurds, it's the United States. Remember us, from all the betrayals? Anyhoo, would love it if you all could march into this thresher for us. Let us know."
How many times are Kurdish people going to be used as canon fodder and then abandoned? Recent example : Kurds fought ISIS, sacrificed thousands of youth, then abandoned by Trump. It just happened,
The approximate cause of death for Anne Frank was the Nazis. The specific cause of death was the outbreak of Typhus at Bergen-Belsen camp, which overtook her (and others) from chronic malnutrition and medical abuse. These conditions are not, in character, unlike our system of immigration camps today
Locally we watched a small group of vaccine skeptics start to radicalize more broadly, following narratives observable nationwide—
The manufacture and amplification of Moms 4 Liberty and other “concerned parent” groups over the last 5 years wasn’t new- Moms for America preceded it by decades- but it did coincide w/ a steady movement by women away from the right—
how did we get to a point where the Supreme Court grants an emergency opinion to make sure no queer or trans kid can exist safely if they have “religious parents?” Simply, the right needs women and its current policies are extremely unpopular.
Coming back to the Supreme Court’s shadow docket ruling on what started as a California case, and first want to pull back to the big picture context here- thread might be long…
We’ll have more to add but seeing mainstream media report on the ruling without seeming to grasp the facts of the case requires this: this is a specious case given emergency relief on the shadow docket specifically bc it was brought by a dark money funded Christian legal non profit.
“The NCO wrote to the MRFF that their commander “urged us to tell our troops that this was ‘all part of God’s divine plan’ and he specifically referenced numerous citations out of the Book of Revelation referring to Armageddon and the imminent return of Jesus Christ.”
Wait there’s more! The Court has had a bunch of chances to consider this exact issue “the regular way“, via a full merits case, Kagan writes. But it chooses to weigh in prematurely via the shadow docket on a subtle and super controversial question.
NEW at SCOTUS: the court votes 6-3 to block a California law preventing public schools from outing gender-questioning students to their parents.

It's really wild how many news outlets are reporting "Khamenei killed," based on a Truth Social post
Do any Americans know the US overthrew Iran’s democratically elected PM in 1953?
Does anyone know the US shot down an Iranian passenger plane murdering 300 civilians in 1988?
Can they define sanctions? Do they even know people in other countries have thoughts, dreams, and lives?
Referring to Iran, not the U.S., Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale said in June 2025: “This was a very modern country b4 it was conquered by…theocrats.” He added: I’m really excited to invest in Iran if we can get the country to be some sort of republic…I’ve been for freeing Iran for a long time.” 1/
