The decision by the television outlets not to participate in the White House pool today in response to Trump's self-declared "ban on the free press" will leave the most TV-addicted president in our history without major network cameras recording his every utterance and movement.
32 people died while in ICE custody last year — and at least eight more have died in the first seven weeks of this year.
I’ve seen the deplorable, inhumane conditions with my own eyes. Secretary Noem must resign for her role in enabling it and for lying to the American people.
BREAKING: The UN’s nuclear watchdog chief, Rafael Grossi, says inspectors have not found evidence of a coordinated Iranian programme to build nuclear weapons despite Israeli and US claims.

Mark Kelly: None of us here heard about Iran having missile technology that was able to range the United States or being close to obtaining a nuclear weapon. The last thing we heard from the president was that the Iranian nuclear program was obliterated. That means completely eliminated. Gone.
The 6 U.S soldiers Trump killed is way worse than Benghazi.
Marco Rubio said they knew Iran would attack our bases, yet they left them ill equipped & undermanned.
Nobody could have seen Benghazi coming, but the Trump administration ALL saw this coming. 🤬
The safety of all Americans is at risk due to this clown show filled with incompetent, unqualified inexperienced buffoons and sycophants running our country and starting a war. 😡
Hey America, now that the threat of terrorist attacks is at an all time high, you can breath easy because your anti-terrorism program is being led by 23-year-old Thomas Fugate an ex-gardener & grocery clerk with no qualifications, no experience & no national security background.
6 U.S. service members killed. These 26 vulnerable GOP Reps have a chance to actually do their jobs and vote to rein Trump in via the War Powers Resolution on Thursday. If they don’t, they need to lose their jobs.
Trump:
Cut taxes for billionaires
Cut behavioral health funding
Cut health care funding
Cut food stamps
All to fund a war no one wants and was never approved by Congress — increasing the costs on everyone.
U.S. officials and lawmakers with access to classified information say the Trump administration’s assertions about threats from Iran are incomplete, unsubstantiated, or flat-out wrong. https://t.co/dLCO37pIkI
.@SenBooker: "This is a reckless and out of control agency that you are responsible for. You seem to have no situational awareness whatsoever... Either you are utterly incompetent or you are violating laws with impunity. You should step down from your position."
Last week, FBI Director Kash Patel fired a dozen FBI agents and staff as retribution for a Trump probe.
The group Patel targeted? An elite counterespionage unit that specializes in Iran.
@CarolLeonnig builds off of New York Sun reporting.

Imagine firing FBI agents specializing in Iranian counterintelligence, right before starting a war with Iran. All because they also investigated Trump for withholding classified documents.
It’s like they’re asking to fail.
🚨 Senator Kelly just said what no one in the media will:
Six U.S. service members are dead.
Killed based on an “imminent threat” from Iran that — six weeks ago — this administration didn’t believe existed.
Read that again.
They didn’t believe Iran was a threat. Then Epstein files dropped. Then a war started. And now Americans are dying for it.
Just days before the United States launched a major military operation in Iran, FBI Director Kash Patel fired a dozen agents and staff members from a counterintelligence unit tasked with monitoring threats from Iran, according to two sources familiar with the matter. https://t.co/juMN9Xq20k
BREAKING: CNN just played a montage of Trump officials saying America is at “war” while GOP lawmakers try to explain that America is not at war.
There is no coherent messaging or strategy.
