"Jews don't belong in American society."

Imagine a sitting member of Congress tweeting that. You can't. Thankfully, it'd never happen. And *if* it did, it'd be the end of their career and the biggest story in America.

But Ogles can say this about Muslims without any censure.

"They see Talarico's version of Christ, which is a servant, a person who reached out to the poor and the sufferingβ€”a redeeming version of Christ, that is actually quite common across Christianityβ€”as a threat to their vision of political power." www.youtube.com/shorts/pm9i9...

None of Trump or the neighbouring potentates want a liberal democracy in Iran. Netanyahu doesn't want a Venezuelan style regime continuation with Trump real estate friendly IRGC leadership. I fear enormously for the Iranian people.

On the Iranian side, remember we are dealing with an end of times religious cult whose beliefs make them reckless in war and who despise neighbouring Arab States as religious and political sell outs. No compunction to destroy all of them.

There is no strategy, no thought through options and just a tactical mess on the American side in the Iran war. Israel clearly has objectives set by Netanyahu (who undoubtedly has Epstein files) so far facto Jerusalem is in charge

There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.

Yet they continue to insist the media is unfair to him and only reports bad things. Im so fucking sick of this shit and the people that dont have the memory or critical thinking skills to see it

Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

"Oil prices are up about 50%. You should expect gas prices to rise about 50%... Gas... about $3 a gallon... you should therefore expect gas to be a bit above $4 a gallon...

So if you get an opportunity to stop by the president's gas station when he's seeing it at $2 a gallon... definitely fill up "

The U.S. troop casualty numbers are being intentionally suppressed to boost the asshole’s approval.

I am so angry with the media in this country right now. They are supposed to serve a Constitutional purpose and instead they are serving as propaganda for the executive.

Legacy media is failing democracy. Six years ago, I decided to do something about it. I started Democracy Docket from scratch.

Today it has 400,000+ subscribers. But to protect democracy, it needs to grow. Subscribe now: bit.ly/4qmEiFz

Everything Russia can do is unlikely to be very much beyond giving Krasnov his orders

Several reports that lack of political will to place boots on the ground means US is arming an Iranian Kurd revolt. Surest route to a Turkish Israeli war.

Trump pushes back at conservative voices critical of Iran war On the fourth day of the American-Israeli war with Iran, the death toll from the bombardment mounted inside Iran. Nick Schifrin and Liz Landers joined Geoff Bennett to discuss the latest.

As some high-profile conservative voices are speaking out against the U.S. military action in Iran, the president is hitting back at some of his doubters. https://to.pbs.org/4rst6YN

After Trump Officials Cut Food Aid to Kenya, Children Starved to Death β€œBrutal and traumatizing”: Interviews and a trove of internal documents show government officials and aid workers desperately tried to warn Trump advisers about impending disaster and death.

Secretary Marco Rubio claimed no one died as a result of cuts to USAID. That’s not what we found.

After Trump officials cut food aid to Kenya, children starved to death in an American-made hunger crisis.

#TrumpsWarOnOurEconomy

[Here in the US, the β€œBig Beautiful Bill” made draconian funding cuts to safety-net programs. This intentionally endangers children in millions of US families because it ends access to healthcare and adequate nutrition.]

Once again, insults and attacks on Zelenskyy, never an unkind word for Putin. The POTUS is a traitor and a moron.
