We should be able to keep two thoughts together in our heads at the same time:

1) Attacking Iran would be really dangerous.

But also

2) Attacking Iran would be extremely dangerous.

After-tax income under the Trump/GOP budget:

-People making less than $17/k year: LOSE $1000
-People making between $17k and $51k/yr: LOSE $700
-People making over $4.3M/year: GAIN $389,000

This is what class warfare looks like.

This one student, Mohsen Madhawi, has more courage than the entire Republican Party, billionaires, media personalities, powerful law firms, and corporate institutions who all bent the knee to Trump.
BREAKING: Palestinian activist and Columbia University student Mohsen Mahdawi walks out of ICE detention after a Vermont judge ordered his release.

Israel has used the war in Gaza to rapidly test and deploy A.I.-backed military technologies to a degree that had not been seen before, U.S. and Israeli defense officials said. The tools have sometimes led to mistaken identifications and arrests, as well as civilian deaths, officials said.

Sen. Tammy Baldwin: "In the United States, we have a system of checks and balances and separations of power for damn good reasons. The President's administration arresting a sitting judge is a gravely serious and drastic move, and it threatens to breach those very separations of power."
FLAG: Kash Patel says the FBI has arrested Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan and charged her with obstructing an immigration operation.

It's the first known instance in Trump's second term of DOJ prosecuting a local official for allegedly interfering with immigration enforcement.

Imagine if Joe Biden, newly in office, had launched a company with Hunter Biden and used his social media to recruit financial backers.

Then promised the most generous among them would earn an invitation to a private dinner with him ... Trump just did that.

He’s using the White House to get rich from anonymous investors—and it’s hardly even a news story.
