Murphy: "Literally in my other ear I'm listening to Ted Cruz on another network explain why this mission is so essential to destroy the nuclear program. I may have to walk over there and tell him the admin is now briefing that getting rid of the nuclear program has nothing to do with this mission."

BREAKING: As many as 150 U.S. troops have been wounded in the war with Iran, according to sources familiar—far higher than the Pentagon’s publicly disclosed figure of just 8 seriously wounded troops. The true toll of this war is already far worse than the public has been told. (Reuters)

Trump: All of the people that died through the roadside bombs. Died and are right now walking around with no legs.

Johnson: I think what we are learning from the Epstein files was a well-coordinated act of treason. If you think about how they use blackmail to get policymakers to act outside of the best interests of this nation and our Constitution, that’s treason.

One step closer to SkyNet.

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

Iran has a new strategy. They are targeting $1B radar systems that detect missiles and drones using cheap drones. Qatar, the UAE, Jordan, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia have all been hit. Russia is reportedly providing intelligence. (WSJ)

It must be so so so so bad for the Rupert Murdoch owned WSJ to run this

WELKER: Are you receiving any help from Russia? IRANIAN FOREIGN MINISTER ABBAS ARAGHCHI: We have a strategic partnership with Russia WELKER: So that's a yes? ARAGHCHI: It's not a secret and will continue WELKER: Is Russia helping you locate US forces? A: I don't have exact military information

TAPPER: You know that if you vote against an additional $50 billion of funding for operations in Iran, that vote will be cast as you voting against the troops. CHRIS MURPHY: Come on. The American people do not want this war. If you support the troops, you should be voting against this war.

Chris Murphy: "I think it's likely the United States that carried out this attack on this school. I think it's unforgivable under any circumstances, but the fact this was one of our first targeting decisions speaks to the incompetence of our leadership at the Dept of Defense."

Reporter: Did the US bomb an elementary school and kill 175 people? Trump: Based on what I’ve seen, it was done by Iran. Reporter: Is that true Mr. Hegseth? Hegseth: We’re investigating. Trump: They are very inaccurate with their munitions. It was done by Iran.

How much is gasoline where you live?

Are they kidding? #McDontInsultMyIntelligence

Northern Virginia today

MS NOW confirms Corey Lewandowski is also out at DHS.

This will result in thousands of righteously furious soldiers willing to infiltrate and take down America from within. Trump has rallied the world against us for the foreseeable future ... and we damn well deserve it for letting him continue.

Not to downplay medical advances, but "Beyond Sputum" sounds like a shitty sci-fi movie from 1982.

Over 160 schoolgirls are dead. Anthropic and Palantir executives must immediately testify and tell the public whether their AI is responsible.

MASSIE: “Iran is not Venezuela. The Ayatollah was not a president. He was a religious leader… 🇺🇸 & 🇮🇱 turned him into a martyr, expended billions, 6 🇺🇸 families must now lay to rest their sons & daughters. And for what? This administration can't even give us a straight answer.”

Not good enough. He needs to resign immediately.

Moskowitz: "Let me congratulate the former Homeland Security Secretary on her appointment to be the Shield of Americas, which I'm pretty sure the president came up with when he watched the last Avengers movie"

‼️‼️

If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.

The Trump White House saves a MAGA adviser via private jet, but won’t save regular Americans stranded in the Middle East. I've got the latest on this outrageous maneuver to help a Trump consultant while the State Department scrambles to figure out a plan for others. youtu.be/rWvQDKRY-0Y?...

NEW: When asked if top aide Corey Lewandowski has “a role in approving contracts,” DHS Secretary Kristi Noem replied, “No.” But internal DHS records contradict her testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee. By @josh-kaplan.bsky.social @justinelliott.bsky.social

No lies detected.

This is psychotic behavior by Sheehy. My goodness

Well would you look at that

So much winning right now.

“There’s no Somali folks in the Epstein Files” Welp

If you haven't read @hcrichardson.bsky.social's excellent Letter from yesterday, the transcript of Trump's rambling about munitions alone is worth it. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

AOC: This is about actual crimes happening in front of us. This is about shredding the Constitution and plunging us into war. This is about taking crypto money and money laundering… So if you’re asking me if I’d support impeachment, I do

McGovern: How the hell is this America first? You guys broke your top campaign promise. Good luck with that. I hope the defense contractor money was worth it. Shame on you all. The mask is off. You're all just a bunch of pathetic Neocon Warmongers.

AOC: If people like Kristi Noem, Kash Patel, and Pam Bondi violate the law, there are supposed to be consequences. These are people who call themselves law enforcement officers. The message they’re sending is that they can cover up for pedophiles and street executions. That cannot be acceptable.

AOC: He impulsively went in on Venezuela. He impulsively went in on Iran. It led to increased global instability and every time he’s done that, it has been consistent with a spike in what is happening with the Epstein files. I think that he feels existentially tied to it.

WALZ: What a 'stop payment' meant by what the administration did last week is 400,000 children without healthcare COMER: We believe that's your fault WALZ: Our Medicaid error rate is lower than your state

Balint to Noem: "You're the secretary of DHS -- for now. And you think you're immune from accountability. But I promise you this: one day he is not gonna be president anymore. And when that day comes, we will still be here. And in hearings like this, we are going to continue to prove your guilt."

Jayapal: DHS is supposed to be protecting our residents. You have actually turned the United States government against its own residents. Yours is a case of failed leadership secretary, you need to resign, be fired, or be impeached.

Walz: "There are no Somali folks in the Epstein files"

Ted Lieu to Marco Rubio “You told Americans to depart now via commercial means when you know many airports/airspace are closed — Maybe you should have thought of a frickin’ plan first” Reminder: Four Americans died in Benghazi — six have died & three jets have been shot down in three days in Iran

A navy torpedo detonates under the target, lifts it out of the water and cracks the hull. The people who aren’t thrown overboard by the blast are knocked unconscious and buried alive in their compartments when the ship sinks. We did that to 141 people today for no reason.

Statement from Jasmine Crockett.

Watch this. 19 minutes and $12 to get meds at a public Chinese hospital. Without insurance. As we slash Medicaid to start unnecessary wars and cut taxes for the rich. 🇺🇸 We should all be so much angrier than we are. It doesn’t have to be this way. #MedicareForAllNOW

If you're not paying attention to the Texas Senate primary, you should be. It could decide the fate of the Democratic Party. It's between two Democratic rising stars who couldn't be more different than each other: Reps. James Talarico and Jasmine Crockett. 1/3 🧵

This is what happens when oligarchs control the *news*
