Tensions soar as Hegseth and Rubio feud over US troops in Iran US secretary of state is warning against deploying troops as Hegseth takes a hawkish turn

“Rubio and Hegseth were described as ‘at each other's throats’ over the question of whether the US should deploy troops to Iran at Israel’s request… Hegseth is supportive of the position, while Rubio is deeply wary of entangling the US in a long war…”

Remember when Rep. Greg Gianforte, now the GOP governor of the state, body slammed a reporter into a table?

We probably need to shut down the Montana Republican Party entirely until we can figure out where all this violent rage is coming from.

The forces against truth in the media are strong. We must fight back.

The president has recklessly forced us into war, and today the Speaker of the House insists said war (that most Americans don’t want) means we must fund a dangerous DHS (that most Americans are rightfully skeptical of).

This whole narrative is bullshit and I hope the media will help reveal that.

The "Do Not Enter" in the the photo would be a *great* motto for DC and all US cities with respect to this National Guard occupation and ICE's state-sponsored murder, kidnappings, and terror. #AbolishICE #FreeDC

And I'd love to tag Yours Truly or IHG to register this complaint with them publicly; but while their business cards suggest Yours Truly still has a presence on Nazi Twitter I mean Elon Musk's "X" they don't seem to be over here. So oh well. #FreeDC

Tagging in @ruddock.bsky.social who's so good at monitoring and alerting.
I know progressive orgs have used this hotel before; but I think none should ever again if an occupying army serving Trump's ego, lies & propaganda get turn down service from this IHG hotel. #FreeDC @freedcproject.bsky.social

National Guard troops occupying Washington DC stand outside of a fancy hotel in the West End neighborhood of the city.

I didn’t get traction the last time I posted this, but Trump‘s occupying army has been staying at Yours Truly hotel in DC for at least the last 6 weeks. Here they are again this morning, waiting to go out and intimidate people and occupy their own country’s capital city. @freedcproject.bsky.social

Spain isn’t playing "Russian roulette" with Trump’s Middle East tantrums. Sánchez just blocked U.S. bases in Spain for Iran strikes, sparking a "stop all trade" meltdown from the Oval Office. #NoToWar #Spain

Spain to Trump: "Spain opposes this catastrophe … governments are there to improve people's lives … not to worsen them .. it is absolutely unacceptable that leaders who are incapable of fulfilling this task use the smokescreen of war to mask their incompetence $ line the pockets of a select few."

Merz says he told Trump behind closed doors that:

(a) any trade deal with the EU is either with Spain on equal terms or not at all, NATO/ defence spending being a matter to address separately;

(b) Trump’s criticism of Starmer is unjustified, the UK plays a strong E3 and defence role.

Democratic voters want FIGHTERS. More than anything. Candidates who will FIGHT against what Trump & my former party are doing to the country. James Talarico & Jasmine Crockett are both FIGHTERS. Different styles sure, but both are FIGHTERS. And BOTH are FIGHTERS the Democratic Party needs. To win.

The downstream benefit of the GOP's fucking with Dallas County is to keep Democrats infighting beyond Election Day even though they have a candidate. They want a run-off without the run-off. Listen to Jasmine Crockett, don't give them what they want.

I’ve been notified about another death in ICE custody.

This marks a stunning 40 deaths during the second Trump administration.

This cannot continue. There must be real accountability for ICE and DHS.

PM Sanchez is right

Donald Trump’s economy is a disaster. Prices are far too high.
He stole thousands from every American through tariffs. His ICE goons are killing people

So what does the Epstein-in-Chief do? Starts a war with Iran

Naturally, gas prices are skyrocketing

Yet HE rakes in BILLIONS

Fully 50% of Americans now support abolishing ICE — a record high — compared to only 39% who oppose that.

Jasmine Crockett concedes to James Talarico and calls for Democrats to “rally around our nominee.” The GOP, meanwhile, has nearly three months to go before the ugly runoff between Sen. John Cornyn and Attorney General Ken Paxton is resolved.

Wasserman just called it for Talarico.

Crenshaw is out.

If nothing else, the Shamwow guy gave us one of the all-time craziest campaign ads of all time. Goodnight, sweet prince

U.S. Troops Were Told Iran War Is for “Armageddon,” Return of Jesus Advocacy group reports commanders giving similar messages at more than 30 installations in every branch of the military

EXCLUSIVE: At more than 30 installations, U.S. commanders told troops the war on Iran is a Christian war.

The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been “inundated” with more than 110 complaints.

One NCO said they were told the U.S. war is to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus…
