No one has any idea what this war with Iran is about. What are Trump’s objectives? They don’t have nukes and aren’t close to having them.

Trump isn’t clear why he’s bombing Iranians and getting US troops killed.

He thinks attacks make him look strong. But we had a nuclear treaty and he tore it up

These guys were selling t-shirts until they needed a war to cover up the intentional damage they did to the economy and the president's involvement in a pedophilia scandal.

Trump’s plan B to impose new tariffs is also illegal because a balance-of-payments deficit doesn’t exist, trade experts say "A balance of payments deficit is not the same thing as a trade deficit."

Fortune had a good piece on the weekend--explaining that the 122 tariffs are illegal, there is no balance of payments deficit (includes a link to a St. Louis fed explainer--that it is an accounting system)-unless we go back to the gold standard

Six years ago, Donald Trump fired me from the White House for speaking the truth. I risked everything to protect our democracy.

Religious freedom group says US military members were 'pressured' by commanders to see 'Melania' An active-duty enlisted member of the US military said their unit was "pressured" into seeing Amazon's "Melania" documentary about the first lady.

Could you even imagine if President Obama made the troops sit through a a doc about Michelle??

Donald Trump Jr, who has exactly zero experience or competence in manufacturing or defense, has received more than $600,000,000 in contracts from Pete Hegseth's "Department of War."

Bill Clinton fighting back. I like it.

Donald Trump couldn’t win the 2016 election without cheating engineered by Jeffrey Epstein, Peter Thiel, & Putin’s Russian intelligence.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Alberto Castañeda Mondragón says his memory was so jumbled after a beating by immigration officers that he initially could not remember he had a daughter and still struggles to recall treasured moments like the night he taught her to dance. But the violence he endured last month in Minnesota while being detained is seared into his battered brain. He remembers Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents pulling him from a friend’s car on Jan. 8 outside a St. Paul shopping center and throwing him to the ground, handcuffing him, then punching him and striking his head with a steel baton. He remembers being dragged into an SUV and taken to a detention facility, where he said he was beaten again. He also remembers the emergency room and the intense pain from eight skull fractures and five life-threatening brain hemorrhages.

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”

What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

SEN. OSSOFF: “.. why are roving gangs of masked men — who look like they couldn’t pass the Army physical exam — dressed up like pretend Delta Force operators, on our streets, demanding papers, dragging people from their cars, and shooting people to death?”

Prosecutors Began Investigating Renee Good’s Killing. Washington Told Them to Stop.

Federal prosecutors had a warrant to collect evidence from Renee Good’s vehicle after an immigration agent fatally shot her, but Trump administration officials ordered them to stop investigating. About a dozen prosecutors have since resigned, leaving the Minnesota U.S. attorney’s office in turmoil.

Russia will only come to the table with genuine intent if it is pressured to do so.
