Susan Collins and congressional Republicans now want Americans to pay many billions more for Trump’s Iran war. This immediately after DOD got a massive 20% increase in their budget a few months ago.

Trump and Hegseth clubbing baby seals. And thinking it makes them tough guys. They killed 80% of this ships crew, with no warning, no offer to let it surrender. And abandoned the survivors in the water.

A US submarine sinking a lonely, dinky Iranian surface ship an ocean away from the theater of the main conflict—and 9000 miles from North America—makes it pretty clear the US is fighting a general war, without the declaration required by the Constitution. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

"It is fraud" -- Neguse nails Kristi Noem for lying during her testimony yesterday when she told the Senate that DHS's $220m ad campaign starring her "went out to a competitive bid" (it did not), and tells her "I think there's gonna be accountability" (1/2)

For some reason, Trump and Israel shut down Iran's internet access. Iran is not blocking Starlink. Jamming equipment would have been among the first destroyed by US strikes....*If* the US wanted Iranians to have internet access. Trump n Yahu don't want the world to see what they're doing.

Trump said, "when we're done, take your country back". If Trumpanyahu give Iran "The Gaza Treatment", there won't be anything left to take. #warcrimes

Netanyahu: “We are conducting a campaign in which we are deploying the full power of the IDF like never before to secure our existence and our future. Joint efforts with the US allow us to do what I have been striving for over 40 y” Israel intends to "intensify" strikes on Iran in the coming days

They went to war with Iran (which nobody in America was asking for) so they could conjure an excuse to allow ICE to keep murdering Americans and teargassing schools here at home with impunity (which nobody in America was asking for).

When DHS says it is looking for murderers, it's talking about its recruiting program.

Van Hollen: "They really think the American people are stupid. I mean, we can all see the video. We saw the video with Renee Good. We saw the video with Alex Pretti. The real domestic terrorists are in the White House right now."

Stephen Miller is a very sick person, more so, IMO, than the president. And he is calling the shots. I remember when Terry Moran dared to make this observation and got fired from ABC for it.

I hope this is a better sign than "they evolved from storm troopers to Gestapo (Secret Police)". en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gestapo

I don’t want to jinx anything, but ICE presence in South Minneapolis has been MASSIVELY down the last two days, and also far less militarized. Very few masks and uniforms, and efforts to disguise their vehicles. Community watch has been suffocating them, I think.

Interesting. ICE figured out people don't have conniption fits when officers don't run around dressed to capture Bin Laden. Unfortunately, this could mean they are still there, still going to employ the illegal and brutal tactics, just harder to spot.

With Palantir's expertise, they can match your picture against social media posts, photo ID's, and traffic cameras

Held: Many of the ICE agents that drive by have their phones up to the window..I don’t know why, but part of the lawsuit you alluded to earlier alleges that ICE is using an app that can take a picture of a face, identify it, and store it for 15 years.

Investigate and prosecute political opponents, sell pardons to your rich friends so they can commit crimes with impunity. Authoritarianism isn’t coming, it’s here, whether people realize it or not.

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic. The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.

The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com

Breaking news: The Justice Department has issued subpoenas for Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey as part of an investigation alleging that they are impeding federal law enforcement officers’ abilities to do their jobs in the state.

MSN comments keep saying my posts don't meet guidelines, despite zero infractions on my profile. I even type in "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" and it doesn't meet. I got a lot of Likes about the Renee Good shooting, such as the one below. I think I've been deep stated.

WWII was the same story. The world had to join together to defeat the cancers. I've always predicted: India or Brazil ends up playing the role of the U.S., against the U.S., China and initially Russia (which again has to switch sides mid-war, feigning to be on the side of good)

The U.S. Federal Government collected 28% less taxes in December than in December 2024. At that rate, Trump's IRS destruction is going to cost the country $1.25 trillion per year. Just in tax fraud he and Russel Vought are allowing.

Banned: It was only $1.67t for 2025 because they changed the accounting. Analysts said it would have been $1.9 trillion using previous years' methodology. Without tariffs, it would have been $2.3 trillion - effectively no gain from the previous year and breaking the trend of declining deficits.

Just for the record - I had no violations I'm thinking social media companies and maybe the government are sending each other reports about who is acting up, and X initiated a pause on me that MSN is adhering to Here are more of my MSN banned posts...

Year over year, U.S. federal tax revenue dropped 28% in December. Losing well over a quarter of revenue is not going to make that National Debt go down. I maintain my prediction that Trump's polices add $15T. In these four years plus the next as the IRS is decimated.

X is 'reviewing me' after a rash of postings of this: x.com/LCTweeter/st...

hundreds of thousands of followers each (how?!) get shoved into my feed despite my following NONE of them and muting some. X is not free speech, it's conservative curated speech.

States need to bum rush the Feds. As many as possible need to simultaneously file indictments against DHS officers who broke laws, who violated rights. See how far Heritage Foundation and Stephen Miller are willing to take it. Then we'll know where we stand.

Every month, they're converting more to their imperial fascist vision. No better time than the present to take a stand. Half the country looks around to know what to think. We need lawsuits (blech)

Trump, Vance, and Noem released four videos, all either doctored, cut, or irrelevant. 1. The original overhead video they speed up 5x, and photoshopped Ross being pushed on the hood of the car. Later undoctored release was too blurry to be useful.

2. Another above and far-away grainy video where the actual shooting was behind a compression-clouded tree trunk 3. The Officer's video, which again hid the shooting, and tricked the unwitting with camera aperture into thinking the car hit him

4. Finally, the 3m45s video of events leading up to the shooting, showing that Good was only there for a few minutes. They cut the shooting itself. This video would best corroborate what we see from the only decent video - Ross was never in danger and chased the car for shots 2 and 3.
