"A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I dont want that to happen, but it probably will," Trump said in a post on Truth Social. We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World."

Markwayne Mullin Plotting to Sabotage America's Biggest Airports
(Daily Beast) Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin suggested Monday that he may retaliate against sanctuary cities by not allowing customs officers in their airports to admit international travelers. Mullin, in an interview with Fox News anchor Bret Baier, grumbled about how his department has to deal with cities that limit or rule out cooperating with federal authorities attempts to enforce immigration law. One area we may take a hard look at is [how] some of these cities have international airports. If they are a sanctuary city, should they really be processing customs into their city? he asked.

GOP War on Health Care Destroying Hospitals at Home and Abroad
(American Prospect) As the Trump administration bombs hospitals across the Middle East, its blowing them up throughout the United States, too. Since the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, more than 800 hospitals, nursing homes, maternal wards, psychiatric centers, and other health care facilities across the country have either closed entirely, cut services, or are at risk of doing so, according to a Protect Our Care report released last week.

Republicans freak out as Trump plan they applauded comes to red states

Trump has really, seriously, frighteningly lost his mind
(Robert Reich) Trump told reporters today that unless Iran reopens the Strait of Hormuz, every bridge in Iran will be decimated and every power plant in Iran will be out of business, burning, exploding and never to be used again, adding that the entire country can be taken out in one night, and that night might be tomorrow night. What about international law, which prohibits nations from destroying civilian infrastructure? What about Trumps repeated assurance that the United States has already obliterated the danger Iran poses? The biggest absurdity here is that Trump is now focusing his wars endgame on Irans willingness to open the strait. But the strait was open before Trump attacked Iran on February 28.

Ethics group demands to know whether Trump benefited financially from 'lawfare' lawsuit
(Raw Story) The watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) has filed a civil suit seeking records that could indicate whether President Donald Trump profited personally from his litigation against the federal government over his prosecutions prior to the 2024 presidential election. Trump faced two federal prosecutions, both brought by special counsel Jack Smith: one for conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election, and one for illegally removing thousands of highly classified documents to his Mar-a-Lago country club in Florida. Both prosecutions encountered several procedural hurdles and were ultimately dropped after Trump was re-elected.
