If Trump triggers a catastrophic regional war by attacking Iran, be on the lookout for Israel to escalate its genocidal ethnic cleansing of Palestinians under “the fog of war.”
Total impunity for Israel is not guaranteed post the Trump regime, so Netanyahu feels the pressure to act soon.

If 26 Americans or Israelis or Germans were murdered today, it would be the top headline on every network.
They keep telling you “the war is over” while this happens, because their idea of a peaceful, “normal” order is one where Israel gets to mass murder Palestinians at will.

My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

Reflect for a moment on the stupidity of looking at Trump's oil theft in Venezuela, his kidnapping of migrants who die in ICE custody or get exiled to torture gulags, his support for Israel's ongoing slaughter of Palestinians, & STILL concluding he's worried about Iranians' safety & freedom.

I know there's a thousand of these shameless self-contradictions that are fun to mock, but it's hard to laugh at this one, as the unhinged emperor sets the stage for what could be the deadliest blunder in American foreign policy in decades.

RICK SCOTT: Many times you can buy it way cheaper by just going directly to a doctor or a hospital or surgery center rather than going through the insurance product. Let them buy their own insurance.

Welcome to 2026, where attempting to drive away from scary men with guns is vicious terrorism, where shooting a mother through the side window of a car is self defense, and where a shooter walking away unharmed is magically fighting for his life in the hospital.

of the most powerful fighting force ever, just casually kidnapped a foreign leader & took control of his country, openly for the purpose of getting our companies in to extract their oil.

W/out congressional authorization or popular support, Trump bombed Venezuela’s capital & kidnapped its president, just weeks after Trump admitted on TV that this is about taking Venezuela’s oil, & after months of theft & murder on the high seas.
To call this admin “lawless” is an understatement.

Pause & reflect for a moment on how literally the most sinister & powerful forces in our country got together to coordinate & bankroll a MASSIVE smear campaign to defeat Mamdani, & they failed.

Saying Trump deserves the Nobel peace prize for stopping the genocide he was arming & funding in Gaza as he keeps it occupied is like saying a wife-beater deserves a feminism award for agreeing to stop beating his wife to a pulp every night & locking her in the bathroom instead.

Telling CNN what the ceasefire agreement after 2 years of genocide will mean for Gaza, & how keeping the boot of occupation on the necks of Palestinians will never bring true peace or security for Palestinians or Israelis.

It is worth noting that Trump is calling on Israel to "immediately stop the bombing of Gaza" based on Hamas agreeing to something they've ALWAYS agreed to: Releasing the hostages & giving up Gaza's governance in exchange for Israel stopping the genocide.

Lebanon has been strictly observing a one-sided ceasefire for 10 months while Israel continues to pummel their country with THOUSANDS of attacks, killing & maiming countless people.
Remember this when someone in Lebanon eventually responds to this aggression.

This should go without saying, but Trump is not opposed to political violence. He’s opposed to violence against his political allies.
He is either silent about, or approving of, violence against his political enemies.

Yesterday the Israeli government murdered 86 Palestinians in Gaza.
Today, a gunman killed 6 Israelis in Jerusalem.
As you watch the in-depth coverage of the 6 Israelis, note how little you’ll hear about the 86 Palestinians, or about the many dozens more who will be murdered today.
