Trump on the Iran War: “It takes years to do these things”

Never in U.S. history has a president so callously written off the deaths of Americans soldiers

🚨 “YOU CAN’T TELL JOURNALISTS THEY CAN’T PROTECT THEMSELVES.” On Day 16 of the strike, @jordanchariton.bsky.social confronts police over orders blocking journalists & protesters from bringing protective gear near DH. Police suggested the order is coming from Newark Mayor @rasjbaraka.bsky.social.

Knicks fans are furious that Trump’s attendance is causing major disruptions ahead of Game 3 of the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden. These are just some of the comments on a Knicks post informing fans that they will need to arrive at least two hours before the game because of his attendance.

A major batch for Nithya Raman. It’s a near certainty at this point that the general election in the Los Angeles mayoral race will Bass vs. Raman.

The New York Knicks are warning fans to arrive at least two hours early for Game 3 of the NBA Finals due to disruptions and enhanced security measures related to Trump’s attendance at the game.

Meiselas: So what’s your message to Trump, who says that he will be attending Game 3 of the Finals at Madison Square Garden? Jeffries: Stay away. Why does this guy always have to make everything about himself and ruin a good thing?

Jeffries: He wants to make this historic Knicks championship run about himself. Get lost. Doesn’t this guy have better things to do? Yes, he does. How about trying to turn around the economy that you are destroying in real time?

Jeffries: I don’t think he’s going to be received well. I think it’s very likely that, if his name is called or if he appears on the Jumbotron, he’s going to get booed.

Jeffries: The higher ticket prices clearly are something that he embraces. And the broader problem is that all of his policies, right—his whole approach, his whole administration—is about subsidizing the lifestyles of the rich and shameless.

Jeffries: It was in the Oval Office. And the guy—the president—was literally falling asleep. I couldn’t believe it. Now, we’ve seen this happen in Cabinet meetings before, but the cameras are rolling, this Cabinet secretary is talking, and he’s falling asleep. Something is really wrong right now.

Dr. Vin Gupta: We need to understand why Trump is so sleepy for multiple periods throughout the daytime hours. That’s not normal. He is falling asleep in front of the camera repeatedly. And I worry: Does he have a sleep disorder? Does he have sleep apnea? He’s clearly overweight….

🚨 Iran has reportedly launched multiple drones toward the Strait of Hormuz, with a U.S. official claiming to CNN that at least four were shot down by American forces. Explosions and air defense activity have been reported near Iran’s Kharg Island in the northern Persian Gulf.

The Los Angeles GOP responsibly avoids taking the Trump administration’s “voter fraud” bait and instead explains the vote-counting process to its followers.

Looks like he just failed a cognitive exam

Wow Trump struggles to remember the name of the Washington Monument:

Ben Meiselas on Jared and Ivanka's attempt to take over an uninhabited island in Albania: It used to be a closed off military area under the old communist government. It has kind of a very creepy underground tunnel system... No wonder the Epstein class wants to build out on this island.

Ben Meiselas flags a piece of Marco Rubio's testimony that is getting zero attention: Are you hearing what I'm hearing? Isn't he saying that somebody was arrested in the past 24–48 hours from the IRGC, who was in the US threatening to kill Donald Trump?

NEWS: House Democrats just introduced the BLANCHE Act (Block Lawless Agreements and Nullify Corrupt Handouts and Emoluments Act) — to kill the IRS sweetheart deal shielding Trump and his entire family from federal investigation forever.

Ben Meiselas on mass protests erupting in Albania over Jared and Ivanka's luxury resort: "This is what the Epstein class is up to. While the American people suffer, the Trump regime, through their nepo babies and through all of their pillaging of our country, are pillaging the rest of the world."

Charlie Angus to US Ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra: I just want to ask you though about what you think your role in Canada is ... there was a time when an ambassador's job was to secure jobs, to ensure trade, to protect American interests and working people's futures by building a solid alliance
