Worst so far - because you know if any are replaced it's because Trump thinks that they're not sufficiently sycophantic enough for him. He'll replace them with even more unqualified hacks and extremists.

There are no competent people in Trumpworld. None.

Israeli govt might think that raising the threat from Iran is worth it b/c the rest of the ME is okay with it (enemy of my enemy is still my enemy, just less so). Sunni/Shia schism plays role too.

Israelis have a different take on this, thinking that killing the regime leaders that helped fund the 10/7 attacks will somehow improve their security long term.

It does not. Just creates another generation of people who hate Israel in Iran.

There's no good answer. There's no evidence Iran was out to assassinate Trump. There's no evidence there was an imminent threat - the Iranian regime has been playing games for nearly 50 years doing the same things for decades.

This is an unjustified and unpopular war in the US.

Or will quickly reach the annual cost of SNAP cuts in just a few more days.

Starve Americans or bomb Iranians. Tough choice for Trumpworld. Let's do both.

Show us the evidence. This is manufactured BS from Trumpworld to try and justify a war that no one wanted. Americans are dead because of Trump's thin skin and need to deflect/distract from Epstein-Trump files.

The spice must flow.

Never mind that the US Navy is even more at risk of Iranian counterfire crossing through the Strait of Hormuz - the narrowest point. It makes Iran's job easier trying to find USN ships to target.

Don't. Print. Lies. In. The. Newspapers.

Don't. Platform. Lying. Liars. To. Performatively. Lie. On. The. Teevee. Shows.

If you've screwed up & done that anyway, immediately end the interviews when the performative public liars performatively lie in public.

What is journalism, anyway?

We have failed to fight forever wars successfully since Vietnam. Not Afghanistan. Not Iraq.

And Iran's much larger and with a larger population than those other countries combined.

This is a completely avoidable disaster.

Trump has no plan for what to do with Iran just as he had no plan for Venezuela. All he cared about is if he and his corrupt family could find a way to profit directly from illegal wars he starts.

Why would anyone deal with Congress if Trump ignores the US Constitution on every aspect (violating his oath of office in the process). He's wiping his ass with the Constitution daily, and GOPers are fine with it.

Why would anyone enter into negotiations with Trumpworld if he’s going to do whatever he wants with or without Congressional approval.

Trump’s actions have wrecked US foreign policy long term (and short term).
Trump’s actions have wrecked US innovation long term and short term (on all fronts, especially medical, health, and science).
Trump’s actions have wrecked US natsec long term.

And there we have it - the entire reason Trump’s doing this stupid peace “board”.

To get accolades since he could not get a Nobel peace prize.

Real insane part of this clip is Hassett saying in the beginning that NY Fed researchers “should be disciplined” for…writing an economics paper that comes to a conclusion the president dislikes? A conclusion that matches the vast majority of economic evidence on tariffs? Nuts

US science after a year of Trump: what has been lost and what remains A series of graphics reveals how the Trump administration has sought historic cuts to science and the research workforce.

Trump & his cult are on a mission to destroy U.S. science leadership: slashing research grants, strangling the science workforce — threatening a brain drain — & trying to gut federal science agencies.

The graphics in this piece are jarring.

We must stop them & California must lead. 🧵

Norms and duct tape. It's what held the Republic together for a couple of centuries, & we're all out of both norms & tape.

This stuff wasn't tolerated just a few years ago. We should do that again.

Insider info. Insider trading. Market manipulation.

Take your pick, because that's exactly what we're seeing here. Trumpworld is busy trying to profit from the information, lying about everything they're doing, and watching the markets gyrate to their every utterance.

i think this is exactly right. fascism is the Death Drive as ideology. it's why the catastrophic end of the Nazi Party does not deter people from worshipping Nazis. that the Nazis destroyed Germany along with the rest of Europe is part of the appeal.

The DOJ just took down pages with detailed descriptions of Trump engaged in child rape and other pedophilia. We don't know if they have been corroborated, but we already know this DOJ will deny everything on behalf of their client.

Journalism in the US is already dead - the media conglomerates that own most news outlets have seen to that, and the billionaires that own those conglomerates conspire to misinform the masses all to make even more money and end democracy in the process.

Six days ago federal officers murdered a man in the streets of Minneapolis and we still don't know their identities. Is there any modern precedent for this?

The only ones who are paid agitators and terrorists are the ICE agents and DHS influencers who are spewing Trump-branded garbage 24/7/365.

Trumpworld is terrorizing Trump's enemies, with approval from the GOP racist base.

The 6-month-old that DHS is tweeting about here lived in the neighborhood and the baby’s father was just trying to evacuate his family after federal agents had shot someone.
