There's over a 1,000 days left in Donald Trump's presidency, everybody working for him knows that there's a pardon waiting for them at the end of his term, and this will have the effect of encouraging people in his administration to commit crimes. Joe Biden's pardons did not have this effect.

Donald Trump knows that extortion of the world by exerting control over international waterways is a powerful card because it's ideally what he'd like to do.

Remember how Donald Trump acted like he was against the Iraq War during his first presidential campaign and BuzzFeed News reported that he actually supported it in 2002? Donald Trump acting like he has a problem with Alex Jones on ethical grounds, when he historically hasn't, is the sequel.

To clarify my view on impeachment, it's a duty. Executing it is not contingent on polling or the political makeup of Congress, but it is the logical and moral culmination of taking an oath to defend the US Constitution. Impeaching Donald Trump is the only course of action that upholds this oath.

Upping this because I'm seeing debate over what Donald Trump actually meant by "no nuclear weapons", and it was probably just this. Reckless speculation should not be encouraged. That said, we learned today that the US under Donald Trump threatened the Vatican with US military force.

"We'd rather have a stupid, racist, and malevolent white male President than a Black or a woman president" is a message that Donald Trump's base keeps hitting "Send" on.

The worst part about the fact that I'm going to live to see a post-US led world order is that this outcome was entirely preventable.

Very good chance the Kingdom of Denmark is the first NATO ally that Donald Trump wants to punish, and it won't have anything to do with the Iran War.

White Evangelical support for Donald Trump is very high, and knowing everything that I know about these people, we simply cannot rule out the possibility that Donald Trump's administration threatening the Vatican with military force... might improve Donald Trump's standing among white Evangelicals.

Did the Israeli opposition leader initially back Netanyahu's decision to strike Iran? Yes. Welcome to the consequences of trusting the right with anything, whether it's the Israeli right or the American right.

"A big day for World Peace" from the man who literally started a United States war of choice against Iran. And he's acting like he'll be in control of the affairs of the Strait of Hormuz when Iran's 10-point proposal literally said Iran and Oman are in control of this going forward.

Donald Trump adding a strategic war loss to United States military history that left Iran in greater control of the Strait of Hormuz before the US midterm elections is legitimately maximum "Republicans in disarray", and we don't have a media ecosystem that will say so.

Even if Donald Trump completely backs down from his threat of civilizational annihilation, the threat was issued, and the mere issuing of this threat is an impeachable offense. Nobody should be treating this as a genie that can be put back in bottle.

Again, just yesterday, Donald Trump made clear he has a grudge against NATO because they won't hand over Greenland, and he was ranting about wanting to run as the president of Venezuela. And our political-media ecosystem treats the fact that he's insane as the least important information about him.

I literally have no normalcy bias. Donald Trump has used social media to threaten to wipe out another civilization, and the only obstacle to impeaching and removing him is white male supremacy. That's it. That's the only reason he's still in a position of power right now after issuing this threat.

Donald Trump's only anti-war position is his adamant defiance towards the idea of personally serving in one.

"Only Trump knows where things stand on Iran" Donald Trump went to war with Iran with no plan for Iran closing the Strait of Hormuz in response to being attacked, which is literally the most predictable geopolitical behavior on the face of the Earth.

Donald Trump being proud of CSAR rescuing missing US airmen *after* he claimed Iran has no air defenses is not the political victory lap that he thinks it is.

The best part of the Artemis II trip for me would be the part where they're behind the moon and not reachable by Earth through radio contact.

Donald Trump is using social media to threaten to wipe out an entire civilization, and this is after he used social media last year to call for the execution of elected Democrats. Democratic voters are not the ones who are seeking distractions from this reality. You are.

Donald Trump is threatening to wipe out an entire civilization, but at least he didn't have a bad debate night like Joe Biden did.

Iran has threatened and does have the capacity to strike desalination plants throughout the region, and there are Middle Eastern nations that heavily or even nearly completely rely on them for drinking water. This is a regional strategic vulnerability... that Donald Trump in no way cares about.

People have said for over 10 years that Donald Trump is someone "looking for off-ramps." Even though he is 100% on-ramp and he will be staring at this development in 100% on-ramp, and the Iranian government knows all of this.

Donald Trump has a grudge against NATO because they won't let him have Greenland, he "joked" about running for president of Venezuela, and he's now announcing that a "whole civilization will die tonight" on social media (re: Iran). This is simply school mass shooter psychology on the world stage.

As the only Democratic voter to come out of my Republican family... sounds right to me.

This is just my perspective, but the first lunar mission in 50+ years with a woman, a Black man, and a Canadian onboard is so uplifting that it honestly feels like an accident that it’s happening right now.

If Joe Biden had talked about wanting to run as President of Venezuela or made clear that his grudge against NATO was because he couldn’t have Greenland, he would’ve been impeached and removed with very little debate over whether this was the appropriate course of action (it would be).

INBOX: HuffPost is opting out of attending the White House Correspondents' Dinner.

Donald Trump doesn't even care that he did an estimated $200 million worth of economic damage...to *Minneapolis.*

Does Donald Trump want to be told the truth about how the War in Iran is going? No. Does Donald Trump consider being told the truth about how the War in Iran is going to be a fireable offense? Yes. Panic in response to this information is the rational response.

I dare you to wear this shit the next time you go on Megyn Kelly's show, and we both know that there will be a next time.

If "Could it be used by the military" is our targeting criteria, then targeting hospitals is acceptable.

What Democratic voters want foremost at this point is consequences for abuse of power. Whoever comes off as serious about delivering on this will win the 2028 Democratic primary, and there is no way around this anymore. Certainly not by thinking you can beat Republicans by running on tax cuts.

Mike Pence learned both of these rules about serving Donald Trump the hard way. He was supposed to use his position to overturn the results of the 2020 US presidential election, he didn’t and thus undermined Donald Trump’s personal interests, and that’s why Donald Trump tried to have him killed.

When you encounter people like this, here's the most important information about them: they show up to vote.

"Donald Trump is thinking X moves ahead." This will never be the correct read on Donald Trump. How do I know this? Because you're talking about a man who went to war with Iran with no plan for Iran closing the Strait of Hormuz, even though this was the most predictable move in the world.

Again, very bleak that the government of Saudi Arabia is exerting more influence over US wartime decision-making than Congress.

Again, anyone who said that Donald Trump would turn out to be anti-war was basically saying that they thought Donald Trump would not act like Donald Trump.

Also, you're putting Republicans—even if it's just the ones on the House Judiciary Committee—in the position of officially going on the record and saying Donald Trump's conduct is NOT impeachable, which is what we want before a midterm election. This is not just about upholding principle.

Serious answer: sea-launched nuclear cruise missiles (SLCM-N) was something that Trump was pushing for even during his first term, Joe Biden ultimately reversed this, but the Trump-class battleship idea brought them back. (1): news.usni.org/2025/09/24/r... (2): web.archive.org/web/20260102...

Before asking yourself "Would a Republican President ponder using nuclear weapons as part of a harebrained attempt to win a war that he's losing?", bear in mind that this question has already been answered. nsarchive2.gwu.edu/NSAEBB/NSAEB...

Once again sharing an ad from Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign featuring a former nuclear missile launch officer's warning: "The thought of Donald Trump with nuclear weapons scares me to death. It should scare everyone."

How do you think the press would be covering Barack Obama saying "Tuesday will be war crimes day! Praise be to Allah!"?

We don't have to imagine this because this was fundamentally the behavior of Republicans throughout the entire viral pandemic.

If you genuinely believed that Donald Trump was anti-war or the "peace candidate", I hope that your opinions on anything are never taken seriously by anyone ever again.

Oh, look who finally used social media to weigh in on a US warplane being lost to a foreign nation's anti-aircraft technology. It's the "they don't have anti-aircraft" guy.

Here's the % of drinking water that comes from desalination plants for Kuwait: 90%.

F-15 WSO recovered alive. Was escaping and evading. Massive fire fight on tgt. Iranians were actively looking for him in the area.

Iranian media has also released footage, with helicopter sounds audible in the background, claiming that U.S. forces are attempting a CSAR mission.

Seeing OSINT reports of CSAR helicopters possibly flying low in Iran and conducting an operation to recover second downed airmen. Still early, and it’s OSINT, but hopefully the recovery operations are underway and we will have good news soon.
