The bombing of Iranian children is an unforgivable crime America has blood on its hands.

New in PN: The bombing of Iranian children is an unforgivable crime

"American disinterest in the lives of people abroad is a resource politicians use to justify cynical wars. It's hard to see on what moral grounds we claim a right to decide the fate of those about whom we clearly care so little."

Chris Murphy: "I think it's likely the United States that carried out this attack on this school. I think it's unforgivable under any circumstances, but the fact this was one of our first targeting decisions speaks to the incompetence of our leadership at the Dept of Defense."

"Hey Vlad, Steve here! Would'ya just lay off sending all that critical intel to the Iranians? It's really important, because all the deaths are making Don look bad! Is that a yes then?"

"We would never do that! Just give me the names of whoever says we do, and where their nearest windows are!"

Tarrio is, quite literally, a pardoned terrorist.

Equally concerning is that another AI company is willing to step straight in as a replacement

that the Trump administration is trying to shut down a leading AI company because it’s unwilling to develop autonomous murder systems is terrifying, and should be of grave concern to everyone in the world

By continuing to insist that the school in Minab was hit by a stray Iranian missile, Trump is doubling down on his belief that his supporters are stupid and gullible.

Seven bombs hit, not one. The impact marks match those of US munitions designed to penetrate then explode.

a ton of stupid shit happened this week but the winner of The Four Seasons Total Landscaping Oh My God He's A Moron Prize goes to Donny, who actually uttered this quote.

Newsweek: Ted Lieu wants a special counsel to investigate Pam Bondi: β€œAG Bondi lied under oath. She said β€˜There's no evidence that Trump committed a crime’. DOJ posted 3 FBI interviews related to sexual assault allegations against Trump. That’s evidence.”

In the last week, under the Trump administration:

- Trump started an illegal war against Iran
- Trump fired DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and replaced her with another loyalist
- The Department of Homeland Security obstructed its own inspector general’s investigation

The author of this piece has a history of sanitizing right-wing ideologues - centering β€œfaith” rather then their records and agendas.

So according to the WSJ a US Senator conspired with another country to manipulate the US into starting a war, am I getting this right

Basically all of the bad economic news this term is because the president deliberately decided to do something moronic. He is much more personally responsible for this than most presidents are for the downturns in their administration.

Sad to hear of the passing of my former colleague Congresswoman Hanabusa.

She was a fierce advocate for Native Hawaiian rights and a great friend to Gwen and me.

There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective.

He’s not protecting others; he’s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.

The war on Iran is unfolding alongside a wave of mass layoffs in the US. These are not separate crises. They are two sides of the same offensive by the ruling class against the working class.

He seems pretty sensitive whenever someone confronts him with evidence that Putin might not be our friend. Even when Fox brings it up.

The Department of Justice has sued 30 states and DC for access to their unreacted sensitive voter data. My law firm is fighting them in all 30 cases.

We are dedicating so many resources because these are the most important legal fights and the future of free and fair elections is at stake.

Neguse: It's still unclear as to the ultimate reasons that Trump made that decision. It may be that the corruption that Noem was engaged in embarrassed him. It may be that he was envious of it.
