Karoline Leavitt: The President can walk and chew gum at the same time.

Jacobs: The Trump administration doesnβt give a shit about the Iranian peopleβ¦ They are literally deporting people back to Iran who fled the brutal Iranian regime.
He doesnβt care about human rights anywhere β not here in the United States, not in Iran, not anywhere else.

NEW: U.S. officials say Russia is providing Iran with intelligence to target American forces in the Middle East, including the locations of U.S. warships and aircraft, WaPo reports. Pete Hegseth recently said Russia is βnot really a factor here.β
I am frankly more concerned about the apathy of the American public and even more importantly the lack of leadership in the Democratic Party.
This is not a dress rehearsal. Every single American must speak out against this Facist administration.
The lack of media coverage about the bombing of the girls elementary schools is shocking.
Dear @oversightdemocrats.bsky.social ::
Now that youβve subpoenaed Bondi, keep in mind that itβs kind of pointless to ask her questions. Make your point, force republicans to use their time to let her respond with her nonsense, and interrupt her liberally.

So I guess it was either World War III or drag queens reading books to our children.
This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

It is horriying to think that an entire generation is coming of age knowing nothing but Donald Trump and the nastiness that is our political culture. I shutter to think about what the implications of this will be for an already weakened democracy.
Once you tell the World the POTUS & Israeli PM are going to pick the Leaders of a Nation of 100 million people you have doomed those Leaders to failure.
They will be viewed as puppets. Trump will be gone. Netanyahu will be gone. People will be anxious. Economies will fail. America will be blamed. π€
This goes beyond politics, and is not even a statement about politics.
Something is wrong with us. This nation is broken on a cultural level. I can't define it, and I don't know how to fix it. But we are tearing ourselves apart. If we don't diagnose and treat that, the rest of it won't matter
The competition for the dumbest member of the United States Senate has just heated up with the elimination of one its strongest contestants!!
Trump is quizzing people on the Hill on whether or not he should fire Noem.
A lot of them are saying yes.
Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez speaks with reporters. (AP / Bill Clark/CQ Roll Call)
AOC: βThatβs one reason he must be removed from office - if the Epstein files have such a hold on Trump & this admin that they are willing to plunge us & risk world war in order to save themselves politically - that is the definition of someone who cant make objective decisions for the American pplβ
Secretary Noem acknowledges ICE and CBP can't shoot Americans for peacefully protesting, videotaping ICE officers or lawfully carrying a firearm, and yet her agents are routinely violating the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. There is a total leadership breakdown requiring immediate change.
Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. But right now, theyβre under attack.
Several Republican-controlled states have redrawn their congressional maps to give themselves an unfair advantage in the midterm elections.
Trump can't simply say, "I won!" and stop the war because that would leave Israel vulnerable. Trump has committed you and your children to fighting in the Middle East forever without consulting you or your representatives in Congress. Netanyahu knew what he was doing when he engineered this.
Just thinking about what we could do with a billion dollars a day that doesnβt include bombing people.

I have watched many videos now of Ukrainian volunteers who have stapled together three soviet-era AK-47s and mounted them on basically a golf cart shooting down Geran-style drones.
If the US can't figure out how to efficiently intercept a drone I can make in my basement, that's a skill issue.

The the analysis offered in this video is most helpful for understanding whatβs going on in the Middle East.

Are you effing kidding me? DOJ has no control or power over state bar licensing.
I fully understand your position. In the real world, it seems to me, you have to kill millions, flatten most of the enemy nation, and put huge numbers of your own troops on the ground in the enemy nation in permanent occupation to feel completely safe in your own land.
