Israel bombed civilian areas in Tehran with U.S. backing.
This isn’t just Israel. American weapons, American intel and an American defense shield give Israel confidence to escalate.
If #Iran retaliates its “terror” when #Israel strikes first, it’s “security”. Total double standard.

How is this not a war crime? How this not a green light for Iran to target Israeli or U.S. civilian scientists in return?

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence.
They are in charge.

One of the consequences of many newsrooms deciding that it's not their job to educate is this story doesn't include a paragraph of why FEMA was created. It leaves the reader to decide if this is a good idea without any context of why FEMA exists
President Trump said that his administration plans to “wean” states off FEMA assistance after this year’s hurricane season, offering in the most explicit terms yet his plans for states to respond to natural disasters and other emergencies on their own.
Trump says governors should be able to handle disasters without FEMA
In remarks to reporters, the president said the administration plans to “wean” states off FEMA assistance after hurricane season ends.

Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.

It would also be likely that they would have agitators infiltrate the peaceful protests to create false flag violence to justify violently suppressing the “rioters”....
....shipping the “terrorists” to El Salvador...
...and/or instituting martial law.

Jesus. What the hell is wrong with them.
This will absolutely happen if the protests are not peaceful....
.....but even if they are peaceful, as we saw with Lafayette Square Trump lusts for the opportunity to use the military to quell constitutionally protected peaceful protests.

Everyone should say it:
The thing about Stephen Miller is not that he is the brains behind Trumpism.
Yes, he is one of the people who conceptualizes the impulses of the Trumpist movement and translates them into policy.
But that's not what's interesting about Miller.
It's not brains. It's bile.
