The Most Chilling Detail in the U.S. Attack on an Iranian Naval Ship The Iranian warship was taking part in an international exercise with many other countries—including the United States.

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.

RIP to Jesse Jackson. His funeral is today. I wanted to share this clip from his appearance on Sesame Street in 1971. His important words ring just as true today as they did back then.

If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.

Trump never meant a word he said The Iran war is a chance for Democrats to dismantle what’s left of public trust in the president and demoralize maga.

1. Donald Trump’s rationale for war with Iran keeps shifting because he does not believe his own rationales.

McGovern: How the hell is this America first? You guys broke your top campaign promise. Good luck with that. I hope the defense contractor money was worth it. Shame on you all. The mask is off. You're all just a bunch of pathetic Neocon Warmongers.

Who benefits from Trump’s war in Iran? The answer is disturbingly clear There's no four-dimensional chess here. There's just the president, and what we know he's like.

Why did #Trump attack #Iran?
Commentator Rachel Maddow offers one big reason: Gulf States effectively bribed him.

🔥 @grahamformaine.bsky.social : “Watching people who have no idea what any of this looks like or feels like disgusts me… saying we just need to be prepared for more casualties because ‘that’s what happens’ — it’s not what fucking happens to THEM, it’s what happens to US.”

Chris Murphy: "It's just so disgusting to listen to the president waxing poetically about the drapes he's buying while there are six Americans who are dead. There are six families who are about to bury their children because of a war of choice that no one in this country wanted, an illegal war."

Gavin Newsom: “Review the tape — Trump spent more time talking about the curtains & his ballroom than of the 4 service members that died bc of his operation & his declaration of war without congressional consent — He still has not articulated clear vision of what the end game is. Period. Full stop”

NEW: Four federal judges have formed a firewall against ICE in West Virginia — and say they’ll punish state and federal officials of they continue detaining people in ways they have ruled illegal and unconstitutional.

The judges in WV have seen enough.

They say that if the ICE continues detaining people in ways they have unanimously deemed illegal they will start issuing civil fines and contempt findings — including against state officials who help them carry it out.

They beat a blind refugee who speaks no English for failing to obey police commands he could not understand. Then instead of apologizing, they charged him with possession of a “weapon”—HIS WALKING STICK. Then they dumped him miles from home without notifying anyone, after which he was found dead.

Trump talked for nearly two hours, gave out medals, praised sports teams, lied constantly, made zero new policy proposals, suggested we are about to bomb another country again, and got standing ovations from Republicans after every line. Nothing new for average working Americans.
