The #US has no business meddling in other countries whatsoever
I don't support the regime in Iran one bit but big bad USA striking wherever they want is no solution
Like said before, it starts here but where does it end
#Trump is a senile mad dictator who is a dangerous threat for the whole planet at this point
Don't forget about the fact most cabinet members are in some way in the #Epstein files, I'm pretty sure this is the most unfit administration in US history
"With new evidence emerging that the United States was responsible for the strike on a school in southern Iran than killed scores of children, President Trump baselessly blamed Iran for the attack."

"He’s even stated explicitly that this should be going how it did in Venezuela, where the next in command steps forward and agrees to an indefinite period of vassalhood under not so much the U.S. but Donald Trump himself. What remains of the Iranian state leadership does not seem interested in that."

"Trump started this war as part of the international acting-out he’s been at for the last few months, a way of compensating for reverses at home. If we look at his statements and U.S. actions leading up to the beginning of the war, the impulse or the goal seems simply to be in charge, for Iran to do what Trump says."

Iran: It’s Hard to Know How to Exit When You Don’t Know Why You’re There
In discussions of modern wars, Americans obsess about “exit strategies”. How do you avoid getting “bogged down?” How do you know when the mission is finished?Josh Marshall (TPM - Talking Points Memo)
"House Intelligence Committee Chair Rick Crawford on Fox: 'We have been at war with Iran since 1947.'
… The Republican talking point is to claim that Iran has been at war with us for 47 years, so Trump’s bombings are just a continuation of that and are being done in self defense. But Crawford got it a little confused trying to follow the script."

… Trump was widely criticized for wearing a campaign hat he’s selling on his website for $55 during the dignified transfer ceremony for the soldiers killed during his Iran War.Ron Filipkowski (Meidas+)
"In just over a week, Trump and top administration officials have given at least 17 different responses about why the war began. ...
Hegseth has described the war’s mission as 'very very clear' and 'laser-focused.' Rubio said the war had 'a very clear goal' and he didn’t understand why there was any 'confusion.' Leavitt said that Trump had laid out 'achievable objectives.'”

"The situation is scary. And what’s even scarier is that the 'warrior ethos' gang in the Trump administration seem to have been caught completely off-guard by the fallout from their adventure, even though the military and the intelligence community tried to warn them about the risks."

"Trump sees war as 'blowing things up.' Dealing with the bodies of soldiers he sent to war is—for Trump—an annoyance that delayed his weekend golf by a day, to Sunday, when he wore the same golf hat that he wore during the dignified transfer."

"A real war with real death and real suffering being treated like it’s a video game — it’s sickening. Hundreds of people are dead, mothers and fathers, daughters and sons, including scores of children who made the fatal mistake of going to school that day. Six U.S. soldiers have been killed. They are also dishonored by that social media post."

"As more than 1,000 Iranian men, women and children lay dead after days of bombardment from U.S. and Israeli missiles, the official White House X account on Thursday evening posted a video of scenes from popular action movies spliced with actual strike footage from their war on Iran.

"The Trump regime certainly frames the war in Iran as a particularly boneheaded and un-nuanced Hollywood film along the lines of 'Rambo' (1985). ... Perhaps even more tellingly, the White House X account posted a video collage of clips from the war intercut with footage from Hollywood action, war, and superhero films."

"The US has a longstanding tendency to see wars as one-sided affairs, with American protagonists, American victims, and a cast of disreputable and/or sympathetic non-American side characters. This is perhaps most obvious in the mass of Hollywod Vietnam war films, of which only rare exceptions include a non-American main character."

"What we found is that the caregiving burden increases as aging family members get to be 75 and older. And, among Americans with an aging parent, spouse or partner, those with lower incomes are much more likely to be caregivers than those with middle and upper incomes."

Family Caregiving in an Aging America
Family members are increasingly caring for aging parents or spouses as the U.S. population gets older. Caregivers' experiences differ by gender.Reem Nadeem (Pew Research Center)
"What the Epstein case is doing...is showing many more people that the men most likely to talk about protecting 'their' girls & women are the ones most likely to feel entitled to do to girls & women whatever they please....
" (T)he same patterns apply to ICE killings, racist policing violence, xenophobic expulsions, government abandonment of the most vulnerable people in our society, the course of genocidal wars around the world, and more."

"It feels patently ridiculous, but we have, you know, white Christian nationalists running the Pentagon. … They clearly haven't read the Bible because in Revelation, the people who start the war are the bad guys in that book.

"The rest of us, our rights, our lives, become collateral damage in this gruesome fantasy.
Christian nationalism and the Christian patriarchy that comes built in are direct threats to our basic freedoms: freedom of religion, freedom (for women) to vote, freedom for all of us to make basic choices about our own lives."

"As [Hegseth's pastor Douglas] Wilson said in the lead-in to his [Tucker] Carlson interview, 'there is no salvation without the shedding of blood. There must be a sacrifice. There must be a scapegoat.' ...
This is what Christian nationalism requires: a morality that is comfortable ending the world as we know it, so their sort of Christians get their day."

"She accused Good of attacking the agents who shot and killed her. She called Pretti a domestic terrorist. Those are lies.
Congressman Jamie Raskin gave her a chance to retract those lies in her oversight hearing earlier this week. She refused to."

"The best reasons to fire Noem are epitomized, but not limited to, what happened in Minneapolis.
Renee Good and Alex Pretti are dead, killed by agents under Noem’s control. Instead of condemning their deaths and opening full, transparent investigations into them, she instead, and almost immediately, attacked the two dead Americans."

Recent court documents were published containing violations related to inappropriate sexual conduct by US President Donald Trump, in context of cases involving American billionaire Jeffrey Epstein and his network.
The documents, issued by Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), include a 2019 interview record of a woman who accused President Trump in connection with the Epstein case, in which Epstein was convicted of sexual crimes and accused of trafficking minors.
Recently, Senate Democratic Minority Leader Chuck Schumer accused Trump administration of conducting a "massive cover-up" of documents from Epstein’s case involving sexual assault convictions, warning Department of Justice against destroying evidence.
