Four-byline alert: 🚨 “.. A broker for Pete Hegseth, the US defence secretary, attempted to make a big investment in major defence companies in the weeks leading up to the US-Israeli attack on Iran, according to three people familiar with the matter.” www.ft.com/content/744e...

I don't really feel like the press coverage of the metaverse implosion honestly captures the access tech press' role in propping up Mark Zuckerberg's fake innovation mythology if you go back and read "journalism" from this era, 97% was indistinguishable from advertorial

“.. it is up to the US to fix the problem it created. .. It cannot be up to others to save it .. “.. Yes, the US will threaten not to come to the rescue of its Nato allies in a crisis. But the sad truth is that very few of its allies expect it to do so in any case.” www.ft.com/content/86be...

Wow -- as first spotted by @BadFoxGraphics on X, Fox & Friends this morning used *old footage of a previous dignified transfer* to mislead their audience about the fact that Trump wore a baseball cap during the one yesterday

This is something you'd see from Russian media

I'm no fancy political consultant, but, hey, if you're in Dem comms, you should notice that Fox News panicked over Trump wearing a cheap Trump merch baseball cap to receive the bodies of soldiers he got killed for no reason he can articulate, and you should absolutely lean into that.

LANE: “40 children are dead. Whatever investigators ultimately conclude, the world will remember the nation associated with the strike. Power carries a name. And when 🇺🇸 is involved, that name is ours.” www.tennessean.com/story/opinio...

Reuters Exclusive "U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school." "The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the ​Middle East."

Here's the letter that caused Thom Tillis to erupt at Kristi Noem. The DHS inspector general claims DHS leaders "systematically obstructed" his inquiries, including in something related to a "specific pending criminal investigation." (confirming scoop from WSJ's Tarini Parti and Josh Dawsey)

The first confirmed fatalities in Trump's illegal War on Iran: Captain Cody A. Khork, 35, of Winter Haven, FA Sergeant First Class Noah L. Tietjens, 42, of Bellevue, NE Sergeant First Class Nicole M. Amor, 39, of White Bear Lake, MN Sergeant Declan J. Coady, 20, of West Des Moines, IA

RAJU: You'll concede this is war? MARKWAYNE MULLIN: We haven't declared war. They declared war on us RAJU: The president called it war and Secretary Hegseth called it war REPORTER: When you walked up just now, you called it war MULLIN: Okay. That was a misspoke.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz after meeting Trump: “It is indeed the case that at least the American government, according to my level of knowledge and insight today, has no really formulated strategy about the future civil leadership of this country (Iran).

We are deeply concerned by reports that military commanders are framing the Iran war as “God’s plan” and invoking Armageddon in official briefings. Service members swear an oath to the Constitution — not to any religion. We are reviewing these reports and will demand accountability.

PIMCO: “.. there has been no ‘rally round the flag’ effect for President Trump or Republicans .. “.. The enthusiasm gap as of now – with a lot of caveats – would suggest, if consistent with history, a possible wave election, defined as winning 30 seats and flipping the Senate ..” [Cantrill]

.. with “actor Dennis Quaid on board.” 🤡 @apnews.com

Warnings to citizens to evacuate 3 days into this war, when airspace is closed, is a clear sign of ZERO strategy and planning by the Trump admin. Now Americans have limited options to evacuate at an extremely dangerous moment with no government assistance. This admin is failing its citizens.

Talk about a U-turn: (Bloomberg) - The Pentagon’s top strategy official acknowledged that the US operations against Iran are outside the scope of the Trump administration’s plans to have allies and partners pick up more burden-sharing of collective security. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

CNN's Scott Jennings pushed a dubious White House talking point on the Iran war to millions that was later knocked down by the network's own journalists. Frustration over Jennings has now made its way to CNN's senior leaders. More in @status.news www.status.news/p/scott-jenn...

HAYES: The US is choosing the date of engagement. We decided when we launched GALLEGO: We actually don't know that. It seems like we may have actually launched at time that was pushed by Israel, because if there was proper planning you would've hardened these positions

EXCLUSIVE: At more than 30 installations, U.S. commanders told troops the war on Iran is a Christian war. The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been “inundated” with more than 110 complaints. One NCO said they were told the U.S. war is to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus…

The costs of this Iran war debacle will likely be more than the cost of extending the ACA health insurance subsidies. If you asked Americans, which do you want: another war in the Middle East or lower health care costs at home, is the margin 90 to 10? 95 to 5?
