Did Trump lie last night when he said the strait is now open?
Or is JD lying now, about it still being subject to negotiations?
Why can’t the American people get straight answers from our leadership in the middle of a war?
The thing that you quickly learn if you’re lucky enough to be in a room with Michelle & Barack Obama is that she is every bit as intellectually formidable, gracefully eloquent & charismatically empathetic while being pragmatically self-assured in her vision & command of issues.
When Donald Trump launched his war against Iran, he had no plan for the cataclysmic financial consequences we'd all have to bear.
107 days later, he still has no idea what he's doing — and American families are footing the bill.
ABC and CBS paid Trump.
NBC gave to his ballroom.
Scott Pelley was fired.
Fox is buying Roku.
CNN is next.
Trump sued me. I fought and won. Democracy Docket is fearlessly independent and always pro-democracy. Help it grow by subscribing now. https://t.co/bZLgVCQ4Xq
The House of Organ and Chamber Music in Dnipro was also targeted. And I want you to look closely at the damage in these pictures.
See all the little holes? That's shrapnel, meant to kill as many people as possible. In a strike on a concert hall.
Yet another obvious war crime.
Iran decimates Trump for his pathetic UFC brawls at the WH calling him out for giving the people nothing but cheap spectacles and distractions to keep them from seeing how he is a complete and total FAILURE as a leader.

BREAKING: Iran says the US has agreed to permanently hand over the Strait of Hormuz to Iran under their full sovereign authority, with Iran collecting tolls called "service fees" from all commercial ships after a 60-day waiver period. The opening is planned for Friday, after the signing, per Fars.
With pre-war Hormuz traffic at 30,000 vessels and 7.6 billion barrels of oil per year, this could generate $10+ billion in annual revenue for Iran, and comes on top of the $300 billion in reconstruction funds directly sent to Iran.
This also directly contradicts Trump's claim of a "toll free opening of the Strait of Hormuz" under no fees.
WACO FLOODING: I-35 appears to be underwater on the south side of Waco! This is near Loop 340 and I-35 right where Waco turns into Hewitt. Don't travel south out of Waco tonight if you don't have to!

Are you prepared California?
A new study led by researchers suggests stress along Southern California’s major faults is now at its highest level in 1,000 years, based on long term modelling of the San Andreas and San Jacinto systems.
Researchers say multiple fault segments are unusually loaded at the same time, which raises the potential for a larger multi fault rupture scenario where a quake could break across connected faults. That would increase the overall size of shaking and the area affected.
It is important to note this is not a prediction of when an earthquake will happen, but a modelled snapshot of how much strain has built up in the system.

Russia increased attacks on Ukrainian civilians again last night and carried out strikes that damaged a UNESCO World Heritage site in Kyiv.
These are war crimes, and Russia will have to answer for them.
In response, today we are adopting additional sanctions targeting Russia's military-industrial complex and its shadow fleet.
Every measure further restricts Russia's room for manoeuvre.
My press remarks ahead of today’s Foreign Affairs Council ↓
One of the fighters at this tacky event just won his fight and then got on the mic and yelled, "Michelle Obama is a man! Am I right America?" And this garbage audience cheered him. MAGAs are just disgusting people. Straight up trash.
🚨DONALD TRUMP FELL ASLEEP AT HIS OWN UFC SPECTACLE
His White House UFC event was an enormous logistical headache and likely cost taxpayers millions.
It’s worse than you think:
⚫️ Secret Service deployment
⚫️ Presidential motorcade operations
⚫️ Air support and aviation assets
⚫️ Military and federal security personnel
⚫️ Temporary infrastructure and staging
⚫️ Barricades, fencing, checkpoints
⚫️ Additional law enforcement staffing
⚫️ Traffic control and road closures
⚫️ Emergency medical and response teams
⚫️ Communications and security equipment
⚫️ Event setup and cleanup
⚫️ Weather contingency operations
⚫️ Coordination across multiple federal agencies
⚫️ Disruptions to White House operations
⚫️ Security sweeps and venue preparation
All so Donald Trump could throw himself a massive UFC-themed birthday spectacle and reportedly fall asleep.
What a tremendous waste.
🇺🇸 🇮🇷 If you’re keeping track at home:
- Obama: $1.7B in unfrozen assets/cash for 98% reduction in uranium & limit enrichment to 3.7%
- Trump: $24B in unfrozen assets/cash, $300B reconstruction fund, lifted sanctions in exchange for opened Strait under Iran/Oman control
By striking the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, one of the greatest holy sites of Christianity, Putin has forever put his name on the list of history’s worst barbarians.
He should be damned for centuries. And he will lose this war.
From the Horde in the 13th century to the Nazis and Bolsheviks in the 20th century, Kyiv’s sacred monasteries have suffered numerous barbarically attacks.
Now we are dealing with Russian terrorists who have already outmatched ISIS in their crimes against cultural heritage. Only Russian scum who have nothing sacred can deliberately damage the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, a unique UNESCO heritage site under special protection.
We will be urgently initiating all relevant procedures within UNESCO and all other international mechanisms, demanding immediate and adequate responses to this state barbarism.
We expect strong reactions by international institutions and capitals. No vague words, silence, or weak steps. We need action now to stop Russian barbarism.
