🧵In 1950, Sen. Joseph McCarthy began his anti-communist witch hunt in a WV speech saying he had 205 names of communists in the State Department. He never produced the list publicly, and the claimed number fluctuated from speech to speech. It is now considered a complete fabrication.

The Trump admin is keeping a controversial $70 million jet — leased by former DHS Secretary Kristi Noem — for travel by Trump's Cabinet and Melania. The $70 million plane features a queen bed, showers, a kitchen, four large flat-screen TVs and even a bar.

Look at all that DEI sending astronauts around the moon.

This take is accurate. Listen to the ABC News interview of Trump by Jonathan Karl this morning. It quickly becomes evident that Trump doesn't actually know the terms of the ceasefire deal he agreed to. He's not a negotiator. He's a buffoon.

Jeck had his vet visit this morning. Lepto/Lyme Vax, urine and fecal tests, bloodwork. He's had what may indicate a possible kidney issue and some of today's tests will determine if it was an anomaly or if there is an actual issue. Otherwise, Doc said he looks good, is fit, and is a very good boy.

STUNNING: Trump is now bragging about agreeing to use Iran’s 10-point peace framework as the basis for negotiations. Here’s what that 10-point framework includes. There’s no other way to spin this—it’s complete and utter capitulation.

The warnings are getting louder about Trump trying to take over voting at the national level. Are we paying attention? Sen Mark Warner, vice chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, is sounding the alarm, and he’s not guessing. That committee sees things the public can’t.

You can watch this on YouTube. It's a dated reminder of what can happen. Still worth a watch. So is Testament. Keep in mind that television networks made good TV movies back then. Watchable, sometimes serious, sometimes fun, made for television movies and series.

This doesn’t seem hyperbolic now

This is why education matters. So does being a Jew with Persian Jewish relatives. Jews were *allowed* to remain in Iran as a recogized minority after the Shah was run off. They have limited rights, their parliamentary representative only represents the 8-10000 Jews there. 1/
