DOJ releases Epstein files with accusations against Trump Over the course of four interviews in 2019, a woman told the FBI that Epstein and Trump sexually abused her in the 1980s.

β€œA DOJ source told the Miami Herald that agents found her to be credibleβ€”and that they would not have interviewed her four times if they thought she was lying.”

The slurs somehow have more agency than the Republicans.

The β€œNYT actually assigns agency to the people doing the thing” headline challenge remains unwon.

I would really love to know how many people in the US know that the US overthrew the democratically elected government of Iran in 1953.

And this is not even a difficult argument to make. Too many Democrats have thoroughly internalized decades of bullying from the GOP, so they are afraid to take a strong moral stance that may bring Republican disapproval.

I predict that the β€˜mindlessly follow the whims of a mad king’ method of governance will end badly.

And they largely ignored the double tap bombing of an elementary school in Iran.

Tax cuts for the rich and illegal tariffs for the rest of us combined to create yet another massive shift of the tax burden down the income ladder.

Plus the long-term effects of alienating allies, tearing up international agreements, crushing tourism, ending research, attacking universities, making climate change worse, and mass deportation.

Trump is so worried about retaliatory attacks, he put a 22 year old in charge of counterterrorism.

"Trump has squandered some of the country’s greatest sources of strength. By repelling nearly all of America’s alliesβ€”alliances that are among the best instruments of leverage Washington has in the worldβ€”he has paid China and Russia enormous dividends." trib.al/ufxc5eQ

NBC's top climate reporter quits In an exclusive interview, veteran NBC meteorologist Chase Cain opens up about burnout, suppression, and why he's going independent.

Corporate broadcast coverage of climate change fell 35% in the last year, even as Trump systemically dismantled climate policy and billion-dollar disasters rose

The gradual deprioritization led NBC climate reporter Chase Cain to hit a breaking point, and he quit last week

Here's our interview:

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 countriesβ€”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.

How long will Republicans follow Trump blindly off a cliff is the question that will determine if our democracy survives.

The Venezuela raid killed over 100 innocent people to catch one alleged criminal. The fact that the media ignored those 100 deaths is part of the problem.

If this is accurate, it’s among the most cowardly and despicable acts in the recent history of the American military. Every officer and common sailor who was involved in this affair, even to the extent of failure to object, must face court martial and the most severe penalty.

The Iranian ship will not be where it was if we had not invited it to talk part in our Milan exercise.
We were the hosts.
I am told that as per protocol for this exercise ships cannot carry any ammunition. It was defenceless.
The Iranian naval personnel had paraded before our president.
The attack by the US submarine was
premeditated as the US was aware of the Iranian ship's presence in the exercise to which the US navy was invited but withdrew from participation at the last minute, presumably with this operation in mind.
The US has ignored India's sensitivities as the ship was in these waters because of India's invitation.
We are far from politically or militarily responsible for the US attack.
Our"responsibility" is at a moral and human plane.
A word of condolence by the Indian Navy ( after political clearance) at the loss of lives of those who were our invitees and saluted our president would be in order.

Some context to the Iranian boat that was targeted by US off Sri Lanka coast

Former Indian FM: β€œUS was aware of the Iranian ship's presence in the exercise to which the US navy was invited but withdrew from participation at the last minute”

Americans are dead. Prices are skyrocketing. The Middle East is on fire. Civil war is brewing in Iran.

And for what? A war that will leave the same hardliners in charge? A war that can't actually destroy their nuclear program?

This is incompetence. Plain and simple.

What we know about the strike on a school in Iran as the death toll rises Iranian authorities said at least 168 people, many of them children, were killed in the strike on Shajareh Tayyebeh elementary school in Minab.

Given how little Republican politicians care about murdered school children in the US, no chance they'd muster an ounce of interest in the well-being of children elsewhere.

If you haven't done it already, it's well worth reading all of this October 2024 exchange between Cenk Uygur & Stephen Miller. Thx to Cenk U. for presciently focusing on reality when the entire corporate media refused to do so on principle.
