Dear MAGA Voter: He Played You — The Swamp Wasn’t Drained, It Was Sold to Billionaires
A quick note to my MAGA acquaintance...
You were told Trump would “drain the swamp” of corruption. Instead, he built the most corrupt, billionaire-stuffed cabinet in US history. Epstein-buddy Howard Lutnick. Billionaire hustler Scott Bessent & Hedge fund & Wall Street insiders as far as the eye can see.

Trump is a liar, deviant, pedophile protector, adjudicated rapist, felon & fascist. His treasonous Cabinet has distinguished itself with acts of corruption, depravity, incompetence, constitutional faithlessness, pettiness, brutality, malice & plain idiocy.

Did Jared Kushner Negotiate Peace — or Set a Trap for Iran’s Leadership?
As Iran’s leaders gathered to debate a U.S.-brokered nuclear deal, American and Israeli intelligence already knew their location. Was this diplomacy, or something darker?
TRUMP DIPLOMACY. When a country uses a negotiating table as a targeting opportunity, it poisons the well for every administration that comes after it. Every foreign ministry on Earth is watching & concluding whether they’ll ever trust American diplomacy again.

Why the world is on fire
Each day, I try to offer a warning through stories about what is happening, and how that event should be understood across the broad sweep of history, with a particular focus on American history, cult...
We had peace until Trump & the complicit Republicans. Now we have war, chaos, economic crisis, corruption, lies, treason, and insanity served up non-stop, extolling the wrong against the right, while abusing American citizens with violence, including murder.

Could a 9/11-Scale Crisis Be the Political Lifeline Trump’s Presidency Desperately Needs?
History shows how suddenly national tragedy can transform a struggling leader into a wartime commander, and why that precedent should make Americans uneasy today…
Why would Trump, who just bombed Iran, simultaneously gut the very intelligence infrastructure built by previous administrations to detect & prevent Iranian retaliation? Because an Iranian attack on US soil would transform him into a Bush-like “wartime president."

So….. 194 Iranian primary school children were killed by American bombs …. Now confirmed!
Kids are in such peril whenever the US is involved. They are gunned down in their schools, they are raped and abused, they can’t get proper healthcare and struggle to get vaccinated.
The once great US!

Why America is at war
A few weeks back, Pete Hegseth brought his extremist pastor Doug Wilson to the Pentagon to lead a prayer service.
Hegseth's extremist pastor has said the following:
Southern slavery was not only sanctioned by the Bible but, thanks to the patriarchal kindness of their wise evangelical masters, a positive, happy, & pleasant experience for the majority of southern blacks.

U.S. Troops Were Told Iran War Is for “Armageddon,” Return of Jesus
Advocacy group reports commanders giving similar messages at more than 30 installations in every branch of the military
U.S. Troops Were Told Iran War Is for “Armageddon,” Return of Jesus. Any military members advancing their blood-soaked, Christian nationalist wet dreams upon the flames of this non-Congressionally sanctioned attack on Iran should be swiftly prosecuted.

The Regime Just Entered Its Most Dangerous Phase
Welcome to the Autocratic Flood Zone.
War changes everything. It restructures the entire political landscape. Opposition becomes unpatriotic. Criticism becomes dangerous. Emergency powers suddenly have one justification that silenced opposition in every democracy that ever fell: wartime necessity.

Loose Talk of ‘Fake News’ Is Bad for Democracy
The secretary of defense shouldn’t pit the military against the media.
It is so troubling when government officials stand at a podium, especially during wartime, and point at reporters to dismiss them as “fake news.” There’s a reason authoritarian regimes target journalists: truth is a strategic asset to constrain unchecked authority.

Trump’s war has begun & he has no plan or way to stop it. The Iranian regime will not collapse from air attacks. Trump promised peace & delivered war. We were told Trump abhors war. He does not. All fascists love war. Trump is a fascist & America is at war.

A Directionless War Meets a Constitutional Crisis
Welcome to the new era of Trumpism.
Trump had months to make the argument to the American people for regime change in Iran. He didn’t. Even more important, he had plenty of time to go to Congress for authorization for such a war. He didn’t. So now we are in both a major war & a constitutional crisis.

Operation Epstein Fury: Is This About National Security or Political Survival?
Madison and the Founders of his generation had it right: what Trump is doing violates both the Constitution and the foundational norms of democracy…
Operation Epstein Fury—with a bonus to help Bibi get reelected so he doesn’t face charges for his criminal behavior—is rolling on as Trump ignores the constitutional requirement that only Congress can declare war. He's also violating the 1973 War Powers Resolution.

Is a Secret Plot Already in Motion to Take the Election Out of Voters’ Hands?
If you’ve studied history — and you know I have — that’s the moment when the hair on the back of your neck should stand up…
It looks like Trump and the people around him are seriously considering declaring an emergency that would unlock extraordinary presidential power over voting to seize control of this November’s elections, according to reporting yesterday in The Washington Post.
