Trump Demands ‘Unconditional Surrender’ by Iran, Shifting U.S. Objectives Again

Not that logic matters, but "unconditional surrender" inherently means the very same "nation-building" the Trump admin bemoaned just this week. It means you take control of the nation.

But whatever, we'll just have some new objective for the war tomorrow.

"You don't liberate people at the barrel of a gun. Have we learned nothing from Iraq or Afghanistan? All we seem to have learned is from Gaza. Israel has learned that you can bomb hospitals & schools with impunity."

The Kids Trump Sent to ICE’s Dilley Detention Center ProPublica went inside the immigrant detention center for families in Dilley, Texas. Children held there told us about the anguish of being ripped from their lives in the United States and the fear of...

Some children in Dilley were so distraught they cut themselves or talked about suicide, parents told ProPublica.

They said kids lost their appetites after finding worms and mold on their food, had trouble sleeping, and were constantly sick.

The killing of Iranian children during an illegal war is an impeachable offense (not to mention a grave crime) and Congress should really act like it.

15 Republicans in the Senate could end this nightmare before it somehow gets even worse.

Remember how this guy lobbied hard to get a pardon for a war criminal who slaughtered children? Turns out that’s literally his entire philosophy of armed conflict

White House Says It’s No Big Deal if Russia Is Helping Iran in War White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt had quite the reaction to reports that Russia is sharing intelligence with Iran.

On Friday, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told Fox News that reports of Russia giving Iran intelligence to target U.S. assets didn’t matter—a baffling answer given that Iran has already killed multiple U.S. service members in retaliation.

U.S. national security offices, weakened by firings, confront Mideast war The U.S. military operation in Iran is testing a depleted Justice Department and FBI. Firings of experienced agents and prosecutors have diminished expertise to counter threats.

FBI Director Kash Patel fired roughly a dozen agents and staff members who once had ties to an investigation into Donald Trump, including agents who specialized in Iran and its proxies.

Three days after the firings began, the U.S. was bombarding Iran.

The red "wasted" visual in the White House video game graphic is just beyond vile. This involves real human beings. They know civilians are being killed. They're reveling in it.

Athletes Keep Letting Trump Make Fools Out of Them Trump’s “College Sports Roundtable” is Friday. It’s the latest example of how those in sports who deal with him wind up looking stupid.

Trump is having a field day manipulating dumb jocks and senseless stakeholders.

Staffer with Elon Musk's DOGE amplified white supremacists online One of the people working with billionaire Elon Musk in his efforts to overhaul the U.S. government is a Berkeley-educated computer scientist who has boosted white supremacists and misogynists online.

The Pentagon just put this person -- who has boosted the views of white supremacist Nick Fuentes, among other unacceptable public posts -- in charge of its AI policy: www.reuters.com/world/us/sta...

Even if they don’t surrender, we will call that an unconditional surrender and declare victory. bsky.app/profile/atru...

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

Key Trump ally behind emergency elections order reveals loony conspiracy theory motivating his effort Peter Ticktin said the Trump should sign an executive order to take over voting machines, because machines in Antrim County, Michigan flipped votes from Trump to Joe Biden in the 2020 election.

NEW: A conservative attorney said to be coordinating with the White House to push Donald Trump to take control of elections via executive order cited a bizarre 2020 conspiracy theory involving Michigan voting machines as the emergency that justifies the scheme.

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.

But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

Balint to Noem: "You're the secretary of DHS -- for now. And you think you're immune from accountability. But I promise you this: one day he is not gonna be president anymore. And when that day comes, we will still be here. And in hearings like this, we are going to continue to prove your guilt."

Here is Trump's new pick to be Secty of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin getting so rattled in a Senate hearing by union leader Sean O'Brien that he threatens to fight him. Imagine how much Mullin would freak out in a real crisis?!!
