The "peace" president

(Politico) - The Pentagon is moving two U.S. destroyers toward the Eastern Mediterranean as Israel braces for a retaliatory attack from Iran after Friday’s airstrikes on Iranian military targets.

Couple things here:

1. With this target deck, and the rumors that Mohammad Bagheri was also targeted, this isn’t just an attempt to dismantle their nuclear program - it’s pretty clearly a regime decapitation strike

2. Iran’s response may be delayed, but will likely be *massive*

🚨“Defense Minister Israel Katz and the IDF on Friday morning announced a national state of emergency in light of a preemptive strike of #Israel on #Iran and a potential Iranian response.”

2/ Via Angry Staffer:

Looks like this first wave of Israeli attacks was focused on air defenses, and individual homes of scientists and regime officials.

Some social media reports of a second wave beginning, but I haven’t seen confirmation of that so far.

Here's another angle from Fox News reporter Bill Melugin of Sen. Alex Padilla getting roughed up by law enforcement after he tries to question Kristi Noem at her presser:

“I’m Senator Alex Padilla. I have questions for the secretary. Because the fact of the matter is, a half dozen... Hands off!”

Trump's military moves - the political Fort Bragg speech, L.A. troop call-up, tanks in D.C. for a Kremlin-style parade - aren't 'a distraction'

It's the essence of his regime, and he's pulling a slow-motion coup to crush all dissent and take control

Good. Now head for a courtroom, and a mic.

Be loud. Be relentless.

And stop voting for Trump's noms and crypto laws (had to add that)
