CNN catalogs some of the many things that Trump defunded or fired before he needed them for his illegal war of choice on Iran:

1) Evac experts at State
2) CT at State
3) Cyber sharing at CISA
4) Disaster response at FEMA
5) CI at FBI

‘A shell of our former self’: ...

So all Trump did to day was use Iran's closure of Hormuz as an excuse to reward Russia, which is helping Iran wiht targeting, and give his buddies a chance to cash in on their insider knowledge?

Anything I'm missing?

This is why I find it interesting that, in the week after this person (the 7th US service member killed in Trump's illegal war), DOD never managed to evacuate them to Ramstein to treat injuries suffered on March 1.

8: A medical emergency, exact cause of death unknown.

They never managed to get this person to Ramstein. Uh. Why not?

Incidentally, Tarrio doesn't like when people talk about his conviction as a seditionist terrorist.

Also, by "ratioed" he meant about 10 of his boyfriends calling me the r-word like cavemen.

We know Trump's illegal war will cost $1B/day, at current burn rate, & we know he has no conceivable plan other than to just demand submission over & over.

We also know that Trump listens to whoever is last in his office (eg, Lindsey Graham, Kushner, & Witkoff, all of whom are venal or insane.

Q: IS this the same Patriots plane that also moonlights as a deportation wagon?

@whitehouse.senate.gov did a VERY long speech of Trump and Epstein's ties w/Russia yesterday.

Of all the bad looks from this week's hearings with Kristi Noem, it is not that she's NOT deporting the worst of the worst, that her fuck bunny signs contracts, OR that she has tanked his polling on most popular issue. It's that she claims he knew of her corrupt propaganda contract.

After Whiskey Pete threw a tantrum yesterday and then Karoline Leavitt attacked Kaitlan Collins because the media reported on the people Trump got killed in Kuwait, note that MOST outlets are not prominently covering IDs of fifth and sixth KIA, as Reuters did.
