Trump's job rating just hit its lowest point of his second term in NBC News polling:
37% of adults approve of Trump’s performance, 63% disapprove — including 50% who disapprove strongly
Two-thirds of respondents disapprove of Trump's handling of inflation and the Iran war
Text on gray background reads: The entire world is being held hostage by a 79 year old pedophile Covie-Threads.

Jeffries calls for Mike Johnson to immediately reconvene the House to take up a war powers resolution
Ossoff: "The president owes Americans a real explanation. 2am posts on Truth Social just aren't good enough when you're sending Americans into combat. He was dancing at his beach club the same night he ordered air crews to launch into combat & hours before our service members endured missile salvos"
The glibness. The indifference. The carelessness. The utter lack of planning for a war against a country of 90M. The sickness of a man who acts on whim that will kill thousands not hundreds. The horror of a regime that enables this sickness. The broken body politic that votes in such malignancy.
when people point back at Reconstruction to explain where we are as a country (a good impulse) its often to claim that Reconstruction completely failed
I'd say it's more like: Reconstruction was partial and compromised, which kept the Civil War going as a domestic political battle vs a won war
In a New York minute.
In a democracy, the war on Iran would not be possible.
Listening to the GOP call Iran a murderous authoritarian regime made me think about the fact the US is also a murderous authoritarian regime. Happy Monday.
AYMAN: Can you tell me where Iran killed thousands of Americans in America?
ANNA PAULINA LUNA: I said they are responsible for thousands of Americans being killed
AYMAN: Where?
LUNA: Are you serious right now?
AYMAN: It seems like you don't want to have a good faith conversation
Pretty much
Trump was briefed this was the riskiest US military operation since the Iraq invasion of 2003.
He was told American lives would be lost.
He was told Iranian missiles could overwhelm our air defenses.
He proceeded anyway.
No congressional authorization.
Trump just launched a war in Iran — without Congress and without a plan.
As a 25-year vet who served in Iraq, I’ve seen how wars begin and how hard they are to end. Regime change from the air won’t work — but American troops will pay the price.
This is not peace. It’s chaos.
We’re such a fucking sick, evil country. It’s the exact same playbook as Iraq and Afghanistan. This was always the end goal.
“In 2003, the road to war in Iraq was paved with lies about nonexistent weapons of mass destruction.
The path to a new conflict in Iran 23 years later has been lined largely with incoherence or silence.”
My big takeaway from the invasion of Iraq—which I regret having supported—is that the US should go to war only when it has to. It should not engage in preventative wars against nebulous threats based on suspect intelligence and without a clear endgame. Yet here we go again. wapo.st/4seF5K1
Donald Trump just bombed Iran...a country with 92 million people. This is not Venezuela, Iraq, or Kuwait. This is not a joke. This mother fucker just started a war. Why do you think this is happening? Who benefits? What are we going to do about this America?
Sociopaths are terrific at spotting other sociopaths.

Documents released by the DOJ revealed Brende had met the convicted sex offender for three business dinners and also communicated with Epstein over email and text messages.
the fact the president of the united states is even thinking about asserting emergency powers to disrupt an election - just a few years after he incited an armed coup attempt - should be the top issue. but the media mostly shrugs and the opposition doesnt focus on it.
Wow

The Justice Department has filed lawsuits against Kentucky, New Jersey, Oklahoma, Utah, and West Virginia seeking access to their complete voter registration lists.
This is such a well done piece that reports out, with hard data and interviews, something profound about what's gone wrong in this country.

Breaking MS NOW:
An ICE whistleblower is expected to testify at a congressional forum today that the agency is "lying to Congress and the American people" about its training of new recruits.
Ryan Schwank was an ICE academy instructor for new recruits before he resigned earlier this month.
Get Your Freak On,Pam Bondage !
Just saying...
What's the use of democracy if the media is allowed to lie to the public and therefore influence their voting? We have churches that do not pay taxes directly influencing people's votes. And this is what democracy is. It's bullshit. It doesn't work like we're supposed to believe.
