Anna Paulina Luna voted six times to continue the Iran war. Now we might know why. Her husband owns 10% of Nokturnal AI, a drone startup she valued at just $1,000 in 2025 that has since raked in $37 million in Pentagon contracts. Coincidence? We don’t think so. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Trump's DHS raiding and trying to strip the citizenship of Ilhan Omar just weeks before the election is fascism, pure and simple If his thugs can do this to a member of Congress, they can do it to you too. I stand with @ilhanmn.bsky.social.

When an Iranian drone struck Port Shuaiba, Kuwait, on March 1st, there were no sirens, no air defenses, and no plan to care for the wounded. Six American service members were killed that day, and the ones who survived are now speaking out. They all deserve better. apnews.com/article/iran...

Openly bragging about ethnic cleansing. That's how you know they're the Good Guys.
Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich: “The thorough cleansing that we are carrying out now in southern Lebanon is unprecedented. “They have nowhere to return to. Look at how it looks. “And by the way, the world isn’t stopping us.”

At a time when the most influential leaders of the U.S. need to stand up loudly and clearly for the rule of law, they are leading the charge in the opposite direction. But not Jack Smith. Kudos to him for continuing to be a much needed voice of clarity.
Jack Smith: "History teaches that the rule of law is rarely destroyed all at once. It's often weakened by attacks on the institutions and the public servants sworn to uphold it. Since January 2025, we have witnessed precisely such an effort."

“The President may be brought low this fall not by the Democrats who would crawl over broken glass to defeat him but by the very voters who sent him back to the White House in the first place. Iran, it seems, may finally have done what Jan 6 and all the rest of Trump’s countless misdeeds could not.”
President Trump is deeply unpopular and trapped in an unwon war of his own choosing. A reckoning—one far harsher than was expected, even a few months ago—seems imminent, Susan B. Glasser writes. www.newyorker.com/news/letter-...

Hegseth continues to manipulate the numbers of dead and wounded in the Iran War. The tally of troops wounded during the Iran war was quietly increased by 37 without explanation from DOD. That includes 29 Navy sailors and eight Marines, according to the Pentagon’s database.
