“Black rain” and a school massacre: the latest from Trump’s war on Iran "We've already won," the president declared.

It's all so horrible and immoral and insane www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

“It’s not a secret” but Trump continues to deny that Russia is helping Iran. Because, as ever, Trump’s loyalty lies with Putin.

Lindsey is particularly blood thirsty for wars he won't be fighting or sending his kids to fight. It's all just a fun game of talking tough by a small man.

‘Dark, like our future’: Iranians describe scenes of catastrophe after Tehran’s oil depots bombed Residents report terror of smoke-filled city, from potentially toxic rain, air and water to food scarcity and difficulty of escape * Middle East crisis – live updates * Iran threatens to attack oil facilties across Gulf after Israeli strikes Thick black smoke was still rising in the sky, soot covered the streets and cars, balconies filled with black gunk, and the toxic air had filled the lungs as Tehran woke up after a night of airstrikes on the city’s oil depots on Sunday. In messages and voice notes sent to the Guardian, people described the situation in their homes and on the streets, some calling it “apocalyptic”. With the sun blotted out, disoriented people in Iran’s capital had to turn on their lights to see through the gloom. Continue reading...

‘Dark, like our future’: Iranians describe scenes of catastrophe after Tehran’s oil depots bombed

Horrific

That's horrible. They are monsters.

McLaughlin is such a damn liar. According to the Minneapolis Police Department, Ross was taken to the federal building 15 minutes after he murdered Renee Good –– not the hospital. I don't think he ever went to the hospital. He certainly didn't have internal bleeding.

damn -- CNN put together a video of Kristi Noem claiming ICE officers are "highly trained and skilled" and "gifted" alongside to a clip of them beating someone nearly to death in Minneapolis

JFC. This is just rage-inducing to watch. Like the rest of Trump's admin, McLaughlin just repeatedly and blatantly lies about every aspect of Renee Good's murder even in the face of hard evidence to the contrary.

Kristi Noem’s company was paid almost $140,000 by a pro-Noem group in 2024 - CREW | Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington In 2024, while DHS Secretary Kristi Noem was still governor of South Dakota, her personal company, Ashwood Strategies LLC, again received a cut of the money raised for a nonprofit that promotes her in...

NEW: While serving as South Dakota governor in 2024, DHS secretary Kristi Noem's personal company reportedly collected nearly $140K from a secretive nonprofit promoting her interests, according to a tax return obtained by CREW.

It’s amazing Trump’s supporters think he’s such a great businessman when it’s obvious he doesn’t understand basic math.

So he’s going to lean on other countries and threaten them like a mob boss if they don’t go along with his asinine plan to invade Greenland.

So she had a pulse. That’s what the doctor on the scene wanted to check. She wasn’t breathing, but she had a pulse. He could have started CPR right away.

Instead ICE barred the doctor from attending her and waited 15 mins for EMT to get to her.

Newly Released Records Detail Chaos During Fatal ICE Shooting in Minneapolis

Newly released records: Renee Good was found in her vehicle with two gunshot wounds to her chest and another to her forearm.

After they removed her from the vehicle, she was not breathing and had an irregular pulse.

She also had a possible gunshot wound to the left side of her head.

Yet still the official position of ICE is “hats off to that agent [Jonathan Ross]” for killing Renee Good while insisting that their personnel always follow the law

Meanwhile they continue to investigate Ms Good-and her family

The term “perversion of justice” somehow seems wholly inadequate here

Just so people outside of MN know - a lot of the US citizens getting “arrested” by ICE never get processed at Whipple. They are roughed up during the arrest and then often dropped off miles from where they were picked up. It means we don’t know the true scale of what ICE is doing based on ICE stats

Our allies are literally doing troop buildups against us

Putin is loving this

“.. Mr. Xi’s message seemed to be: Beijing had proven its capacity to hit back and Washington would do well to remember it.”

Lisa Cook's bank documents appear to contradict Trump administration's mortgage fraud allegations President Donald Trump is seeking to remove Cook, a board member at the Federal Reserve, over claims that she falsified financial forms regarding a secondary home.

Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook declared in financial forms that her Atlanta property would be used as a "vacation home" and NOT her primary residence, according to documents obtained by NBC News that undercut allegations of mortgage fraud by the Trump admin. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

Bill Maher calls out Ben Shapiro for saying Charlie Kirk's shooter was "of the left" — then admitting he wasn’t sure because of reports that he may be a Groyper. "The internet is undefeated in getting it wrong."

Total nut job.

The full weight of the federal government is being used to memorialize Charlie Kirk And to punish those who speak ill of him.

“I’m basically going to cancel with extreme prejudice these evil, sick animals who celebrated Charlie Kirk’s assassination.”

Elected officials seem to be targeting private citizens exercising their First Amendment rights to speak about Kirk’s exceedingly polarizing career.

Trump thinks Obama and Clinton should “pay a price” for … the ridiculous allegation he and his allies have contrived.
