Schulz seemed to be feeling some. “Americans can’t afford health care,” he said later. “They don’t care about what’s happening in Iran!” War hawks have been angling for years for this war, he added. With President Trump, “they found a guy stupid enough to do it.” When Trump embroiled the United States in a war with Iran, Schulz and the guys couldn’t understand the point. “Naturally, Americans are furious about it, right? Because we’re like, ‘How does it benefit me?’” Schulz said. “‘I can’t afford to pay for college, I can’t buy a home, I can’t pay for health insurance, and we’re gonna spend billions of dollars in a war in a country I can’t even point at on a map?’” [go to link] |

| second: Hegseth's inflammatory rhetoric at a recent Pentagon prayer service has triggered serious alarm among military chaplains.
At the prayer service, Hegseth invoked religious language to justify military violence, saying: "Let every round find its mark against the enemies of righteousness and our great nation. Give them wisdom in every decision … and overwhelming violence of action against those who deserve no mercy."
The language represents a troubling shift in how the Pentagon frames military operations: "I don't approve of cramming your religious faith down people's throats, and when the top of the chain couches these operations in this hyper-Christian tone, it flies in the face of the freedom of religion that the Constitution enshrines and that our men and women in uniform sign up to defend."

| second: ‘Just drinking the Kool-Aid’: Inside the White House divide on Iran.
Senior aides describe a widening internal divide over a conflict the president has grown bored with — and a communications strategy some call embarrassing. President Donald Trump is sending thousands of new troops to the Middle East to fight in a war he said he has “already won.” That contradiction has frustrated some senior White House aides and outside allies. They described it as confusing, internally inconsistent and increasingly detached from battlefield reality. The White House’s public communications have suggested a similar detachment, presenting the conflict less as an ongoing war with human lives at stake and more as a cultural moment that generates online content.

| second: ‘He’s lied about everything’: Iran war puts Trump on shaky ground with young MAGA men. [go to link] GRAPEVINE, TEXAS — Joseph Bolick feels betrayed by President Donald Trump. And it’s because of the war in Iran.
The 30-year-old Iraq and Afghanistan war veteran voted for Trump in 2024. But at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference gathering this week he sported a hat emblazoned with “America First” — a slogan Trump championed during his campaign, along with the promise not to start new wars in foreign countries.
“He’s lied about everything,” said Bolick. “If you go into a war where there’s no end game, how is it going to end? There’s no clear objective.” |

| second: Trump keeps saying 'nobody' knew or expected things lots of people knew or expected.
On multiple occasions this month, Trump has claimed “nobody” had expected Iran to attack its Persian Gulf neighbors after it was attacked by the US and Israel. “Nobody ever thought they’d be shot at,” he said of Gulf countries on Thursday. “Nobody was even thinking about it,” he said Monday. “Nobody, nobody, no, no, no. No, the greatest experts — nobody thought they were going to hit,” he said last week.
In reality, various experts had not only thought but publicly predicted that Iran would retaliate by striking countries in the region. Iranian officials had themselves said this was their plan.

Of the sheer number of absurdist stories you may have missed in the news recently, one is that in public court filings slamming common-sense laws to prevent gun violence, President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice refused to rule out nuclear weapons from the kinds of arms it claims the average citizen may be entitled to possess under the Second Amendment.
How did we get here, where the top law enforcement lawyers in the country refuse to draw any line at weapons that can be used in lawful self-defense? |
