🚨 BREAKING: U.S. strikes Qeshm Island, Sirik, and Bandar Abbas in southern Iran.

MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com

WAR ERUPTS: CENTCOM says the U.S. has begun launching "a series of powerful strikes against Iran," citing Iran's recent attacks on ships attempting to transit the unauthorized Omani route through the Strait of Hormuz.

I’d agree to give them Connecticut instead, as long as they promise to physically remove it from the continent.

In a couple hours, we're going to find out that Trump's deal with Iran involves giving them Rhode Island, a controlling interest in General Motors and one (1) aircraft carrier of their choosing.

“The finding comes as ICE is eliminating its requirement to report deaths that occur within 30 days of people being released from its custody, and as the Trump administration continues to detain large numbers of migrants." Abolish ICE. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

Remember when graduating high school was just something u did (or didn’t)? Now every senior in our town has an 8’x3’ banner & 2 weeks of performative events requiring visits to their elementary schools, formal dinners, slideshows… man, real life is going to suck after all this expectation setting.

Oh, well then… Mooooooo

The gold, 22-foot Donald Trump statue definitely isn’t a false idol. You can tell because Trump’s pastor friend said of the new statue at his Doral golf course, “Let me be clear: this is not a golden calf.”

@governor.pa.gov doing some snaky stuff.

A Pa. grassroots activist and a flurry of right-to-know requests has the receipts on Josh Shapiro's cozy relationship with Amazon as its $20B push for energy-guzzling data centers angers locals Did Amazon deliver a blow to Shapiro's White House dreams?

nothing says “vote for us” like a dipshit politician saying “yeah we know you’re broke because of our war of choice but suck it up, pansies”

Republican Sen. Roger Marshall wants Americans to stop complaining about gas prices because they're necessary for "national security." "I'm sorry the gas prices are going up, but help is on its way, and your national security, yes, is even more important than your pocketbook."

NEW—I got an exclusive excerpt from a USAID whistleblower's new book that made me gasp multiple times. It details Trump's dismantling of the humanitarian aid agency & his team/DOGE's shocking ignorance to public health. 'Into the Wood Chipper' by Nicholas Enrich is out tomorrow. Read excerpt here:

Trump, Vance and the rest of this administration needs to be #impeached… dragged out of office if necessary. Make your calls now, even if your representatives are MAGA diehards like the feckless @fetterman.senate.gov Let them know we’re done with this madness: 5calls.org/issue/trump-...

5calls.orgImpeach Trump ⭑ 5 CallsSince Inauguration Day, Trump has consistently upended our constitutional separation of powers to unilaterally control all branches of our government; …

A reminder to my brothers and sisters in arms being given what you know or even suspect to be Illegal orders, the GI Rights Hotline is there to support you. Don’t guess. Know your rights and your obligations. “I was just following orders“ won’t save you in court. Tel: 1-877-447-4487

A little reminder to our folks in uniform; “I was just following orders“ is NOT a viable legal defense. You have a duty to object and refuse to carry out illegal orders. #HedgsethForTheHague

For 13 weeks, Marine recruits aren’t allowed to see their families. Not once. Graduation day is the first reunion. It’s supposed to be a celebration. At Parris Island in South Carolina this week, ICE agents will be stationed at the gate checking the immigration status of anyone who shows up to watch

The #MAGA role model.
