Once again, Trump is claiming former presidents have been cheering on his Iran war privately despite the fact that all four living ex-presidents have denied speaking to him. They need to call a press conference to highlight Trump’s mental breakdown.

Q: Is hitting power plants is a war crime? TRUMP: I'm not worried about it. You know what's a war crime? Allowing a sick country w/demented leaders to have a nuclear weapon. If I allowed that to happen like 7 other presidents- many of them say off the record they should've done this a long time ago

NEW: Trump Has Detained the Parents of More Than 11,000 U.S. Citizen Kids A ProPublica analysis of new ICE data shows that Trump has detained parents of U.S. citizen children at about twice the rate that Biden did, and moms have been deported four times as often.

Multiple sources reported earlier today that the U.S. specifically approved of this strike on Iran, which Trump is now trying to disavow.

Whether or not this factual account is accurate, it seems POTUS is trying to put the toothpaste back in the tube to some extent and forestall further attacks against energy infrastructure. (Obviously makes him look weak if Israel did this without his knowledge. And foolish if he approved of it.)

Wow. Please send him out on the campaign trail to explain to American consumers why they are the "last" of this administration's concerns.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Hassett: "If the war were to be extended, it wouldn't really disrupt the US economy very much at all. It would hurt consumers, and we'd have to think about what we'd have to do about that, but that's really the last of our concerns right now."

This is your criminal government, Americans. A rogue bandit state stealing Venezuela's oil, massacring Iranian schoolgirls and now planning to "take" Cuba because Trump says "I can do anything I want with it." Patriotic Americans must end this madness.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump: "I do believe I'll be having the honor of taking Cuba. That's a big honor. Taking Cuba in some form. I think I can do anything I want with it, if you want to know the truth."

The Iranian ship was there because India invited it to the Milan naval exercise, and under the rules it was not carrying ammunition. The U.S. withdrew from the exercise and torpedoed the Iranian vessel, then refused to rescue survivors, leaving the Sri Lankan Navy to recover bodies from the water.

Rep Raskin reports he reviewed the full unredacted Epstein Files & Trump's name appears MORE THAN A MILLION TIMES. We knew of 38K times—meaning we know of only ~3% of Trump's involvement with a convicted child sexual abuser & sex trafficker. Anyone still unwilling to impeach & remove is complicit.

Your tax dollars at work, America. FBI agents working around the clock trying to prove Trump won Georgia in 2020 instead of investigating wealthy fraudsters and con artists because they don't get prosecuted anymore since Trump took office.

This is 100% FALSE. Immigration judges do NOT play any role in issuing administrative warrants. They are generated and signed by ICE officers themselves. ICE’s own training materials say they can’t be used for a search of a home! Here’s a blank warrant form. Note who signs it.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

JD Vance: "Nobody is talking about doing immigration enforcement without a warrant. We're talking about different types of warrants that exist in our system. Typically in the immigration system, those are handled by administrative law judges. So we're talking about getting warrants from them."

The public deserves full transparency about every ICE agent, including their identities, backgrounds, and training. Recent events suggest these agents lack even the basic professional standards expected of law-enforcement officers. Who are these amateurs terrorizing our streets?

Frey: "An individual from a car that was in the middle of a street was detained. ICE left the car in the middle of the street. The car wasn't even in park, so you got it just rolling down the street w/nobody in it. It could've hit anybody, including my own family. This is not about safety"

This flailing shows how unprepared the GOP is to be the dog that caught the car. Tens of millions of Americans are about to see their already too-expensive health insurance rates skyrocket. Millions will end up with no coverage—all thanks to the GOP, who, meanwhile, gave billionaires more tax cuts.

Q: At the end of this year, those extended Obamacare subsidies expire. What's your message to those 24m Americans who will see their premiums go up? TRUMP: Don't make it sound so bad. Obviously you're a sycophant for Democrats. You're obviously a provider of bad news for Republicans.
