“I feel like I’m dying”
“I feel like I’ve been lied to”

The words of an anti-vax chiropractor who become seriously ill with measles and spread it to his kids, who then also became seriously ill. All four kids were hospitalized.

You *were* lied to. And you wanted to believe that lie.

All I want to hear out of Democrats is that we had a deal and no bomb. Then Trump tore it up and he is now putting American lives in danger.

That’s it.

I’m being asked about regime change in Iran a lot and each time I have to remind folks asking that we’re in the midst of regime change in the US with far greater consequences for Iran, Israel, the Middle East, and the rest of the world than any change of regime in Tehran would ever entail.

Dear westerners:
You can FULLY criticize Israel’s invasion and attack on Iran WITHOUT whitewashing the crimes of the Islamic Republic!
Yes, yes you can.

Just a heads up: if we are in fact at war, the authorities Trump has been using — many/most of which are delegated wartime authorities — will only expand and be given more deference by the courts. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

This moment was always coming, if Israel’s initial salvo was to make any strategic sense.

What comes next is the big question.

The Islamic Republic of Iran is an isolated, corrupt kleptocracy, and its rejectionist foreign policy has failed. The regime likely still retains enough repressive capacity to stay in power but it is now in an exceedingly vulnerable position.

A Florida sheriff ignored proof of Peter Sean Brown’s U.S. citizenship and held him for ICE anyway. A federal court just ruled it was a blatant violation of his Fourth Amendment rights.

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.

Trump turning 'will I attack Iran?' into a reality TV show is probably one of the better options here because he will draw it out indefinitely to keep the focus on himself and then get distracted by something else.

1. The "crisis" in Iran was solved in 2015. The United States and others negotiated the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which imposed a rigorous inspection regime that cut off Iran’s path to a bomb.

Then Trump withdrew from the agreement for no reason.
What will happen if the United States bombs Iran?
Trump campaigned as a peacemaker, promising to "end the endless foreign wars." Less than six months into his presidency, things have changed.

In the spring of 2008, I feared America was on the verge of war with Iran — and, believing that it’s good style to get to know people before you bomb them, I made “Rick Steves’ Iran,” a one-hour special that could (and would) only debut on PBS. Sadly, this special has become pertinent again today.
