NEW: ABC, Associated Press & the Washington Post are all confirming tonight’s CNN story.
The official damage assessment shows that US strikes did not destroy Iran’s nuclear program. It likely only set it back a few months.
And Iran’s enriched uranium is now missing.
Trump lies as he breathes.

Democracy is burning, and we need sites like Bluesky more than ever. And Senator Durbin wants to repeal 230, which would massively stifle the ability of sites like Bluesky to exist, while massively empowering X and Meta.
Why?
It seems that someone in his office doesn't understand 230.
