Never forget : Annie Machon, a former MI5 agent, reveals how Mossad setup a false flag by bombing their own Israeli embassy in London in 1994 and blamed it on Palestinian activists

U.S. Considers Financial Support for Oil-Rich U.A.E.

Seems like NYT should have mentioned that UAE's spymaster bought 49% of Trump's World Liberty Financial and used $2B of its USD1 stablecoin, directing hundreds of millions to Trump.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

He’s a complete moron.

He still hasn’t “won” Iran.

Someone give Pawpaw his meds and put him back to sleep.

This Isn't Trading. It's Theft from Your Retirement. Someone keeps making perfectly-timed bets right before the President speaks. The victims are your pension, your 401(k), and the country I took an oath to defend.

Fifteen minutes before the President announced he was pausing strikes on Iran, somebody moved $500 million in oil futures. Somebody knew. Somebody told them. Or somebody is them.

How 2 fringe groups and a friendly judge helped pull off Sheriff Chad Bianco’s ballot seizure Emails obtained by CalMatters trace the development of a years-long case that ultimately led to the unprecedented seizure of 650,000 ballots.

Anat Rubin and I co-wrote a story for @calmatters.org about the people behind Sheriff Chad Bianco's "election investigation" -- sovereign citizens, Christian nationalists, and "constitutional sheriffs."

Sen. Elizabeth Warren asks Trump Fed pick Kevin Warsh if he has investments tied to the Trump family. He won't answer directly.

ELIZABETH WARREN: Did Donald Trump lose the 2020 election?

KEVIN WARSH: Uhm, we try to keep politics if I'm confirmed out of the Federal Reserve

WARREN: I'm just asking a factual question

WARSH: I believe this body certified the election

WARREN: That's not the question I'm asking

Trump Is Making Republicans Wet Their Beds The president's war in Iran and mass deportation campaign are having major - and negative - political consequences. Plus, his outgoing labor secretary discovers you can in fact have too many scandals.

"Trump Is Making Republicans Wet Their Beds"

The president's war in Iran & mass deportation campaign are having major - & negative - political consequences. Plus, his outgoing labor secretary discovers you can in fact have too many scandals.

Today's First Draft morning newsletter:

Trump: "There's one thing and nobody ever talks about it but me unfortunately, so I'm sure it's not correct, but I think it is. We should have the lowest interest rate in the world."

What they come up with when the candidates aren't Boomers.

ICE detained the wife of an active-duty U.S. Army Sgt. First Class after she showed up for an immigration appointment in 📍 El Paso—then still threatened removal despite legal protections.

Her husband (27 years active duty) said it plainly: ICE is out of control.

As Trump’s lies get more egregious (and repetitive) I have at least noticed fewer mouth-breathing bootlickers willing to defend him in my comments.

And the administration is leaking about how he’s hurting negotiations and how they’re keeping him on the sidelines.

I’ll call that progress.

CNN put together a montage of Trump saying as far back as March 9 that his war against Iran "is going to be finished pretty quickly," then him saying that same thing over and over for the past six weeks

"It'll hurt them. It'll hurt them militarily" -- Joe Kernen gives Trump a chance to say he doesn't actually want to commit war crimes in Iran, but Trump doesn't really take it

KERNEN: You're saying you need at least the prospect for a signed deal today or tomorrow or else you would resume bombing Iran?

TRUMP: Well, I expect to be bombing. The military is raring to go.

Trump: "I would've won Vietnam very quickly if I were president. Look at Venezuela. I took it over in 45 minutes."

Trump: "We can't let traitors like Schumer put pressure on you, where they say, 'We want out!' Think how bad that is. I'm negotiating with these people and they're telling us, 'We have to get out now!' and they were in a war for 18 years."

Trump: "I'd love somebody to buy Spirit Airlines. Maybe the federal government should help that one out. I told my people."

Trump on Saudi Arabia: "I think they're doing great. I spoke to him yesterday. They're fighting. They're helping us. The ones that aren't helping are NATO. We don't need them. We will never need them, actually."

Just completely out of control

It’s critical to note that this clip should be taken as evidence that Trump is (obviously) taking cuts of the funds being used to build his new white house ballroom, the arc, etc

He killed over 160 young girls at a school and threatened to end their entire civilization out of respect and admiration

Ukraine’s Second Miracle Year The war isn’t won, but for the first time in years, outright victory seems possible.

"Strategically, Ukraine has a theory of victory that looks increasingly plausible, while Russia’s is crumbling....Russia bet the farm on the theory that meat waves would overwhelm Ukraine while the United States and Hungary blocked Western support, and failed."
