“It’s not a secret” but Trump continues to deny that Russia is helping Iran. Because, as ever, Trump’s loyalty lies with Putin.

‘Dark, like our future’: Iranians describe scenes of catastrophe after Tehran’s oil depots bombed
Residents report terror of smoke-filled city, from potentially toxic rain, air and water to food scarcity and difficulty of escape * Middle East crisis – live updates * Iran threatens to attack oil facilties across Gulf after Israeli strikes Thick black smoke was still rising in the sky, soot covered the streets and cars, balconies filled with black gunk, and the toxic air had filled the lungs as Tehran woke up after a night of airstrikes on the city’s oil depots on Sunday. In messages and voice notes sent to the Guardian, people described the situation in their homes and on the streets, some calling it “apocalyptic”. With the sun blotted out, disoriented people in Iran’s capital had to turn on their lights to see through the gloom. Continue reading...

McLaughlin is such a damn liar. According to the Minneapolis Police Department, Ross was taken to the federal building 15 minutes after he murdered Renee Good –– not the hospital. I don't think he ever went to the hospital. He certainly didn't have internal bleeding.

So she had a pulse. That’s what the doctor on the scene wanted to check. She wasn’t breathing, but she had a pulse. He could have started CPR right away. Instead ICE barred the doctor from attending her and waited 15 mins for EMT to get to her.

Just so people outside of MN know - a lot of the US citizens getting “arrested” by ICE never get processed at Whipple. They are roughed up during the arrest and then often dropped off miles from where they were picked up. It means we don’t know the true scale of what ICE is doing based on ICE stats
