In 1980s, one of the most explosive political scandals in American history unfolded inside the Reagan White House, a web of secret arms deals, covert funding, and outright deception that shook the nation to its core. The story begins with two seemingly unrelated crises playing out simultaneously thousands of miles apart. In Lebanon, a militant group was holding seven American hostages, and the Reagan administration was desperate to bring them home. In Nicaragua, a rebel force known as the Contras was waging a guerrilla war against the left-wing Sandinista government, and Reagan was determined to support them, even after Congress said no. Congress had passed the Boland Amendments, a series of laws explicitly banning the use of federal funds to support the Contras militarily. Rather than accept this legal barrier, senior officials in the Reagan administration decided to work around it entirely. The plan that emerged was as audacious as it was illegal: sell weapons to Iran, then secretly funnel the profits to the Contras in Nicaragua. Iran was officially designated a state sponsor of terrorism, and the United States had an arms embargo against the country, making the weapons sales doubly illegal and profoundly hypocritical. The administration justified the Iran sales by claiming they were reaching out to so-called moderate factions within the Iranian government who could pressure militant groups in Lebanon to free the American hostages. Beginning in 1985, Israel first acted as a middleman, shipping American-made TOW anti-tank missiles and Hawk anti-aircraft missiles to Iran with U.S. approval and reimbursement. Later, Lieutenant Colonel Oliver North of the National Security Council cut Israel out of the deal and began selling weapons directly to Iran at inflated prices, pocketing the markup to fund the Contras. North's superior, National Security Adviser Admiral John Poindexter, authorized the scheme without informing President Reagan, or so Poindexter later claimed. The entire covert operation was given the internal name "the Enterprise" and was run like a shadow government operating completely outside congressional oversight. The scandal broke in November 1986 when a Lebanese magazine reported the weapons deals, and a cargo plane carrying weapons to the Contras was shot down over Nicaragua, with the surviving crew member captured. Reagan went on national television and denied that the United States had traded arms for hostages, a claim he later had to retract. Oliver North and his secretary Fawn Hall went into a frenzied effort to shred documents and conceal evidence, with Hall reportedly smuggling classified papers out of her office hidden in her clothing. Congress launched its own investigation, and an independent counsel named Lawrence Walsh was appointed to investigate criminal wrongdoing. The Tower Commission, appointed by Reagan himself, concluded that the president had failed to properly supervise his subordinates, though it found no direct evidence that he ordered the diversion of funds to the Contras. Fourteen people were charged with crimes, and eleven were ultimately convicted, though several of those convictions were later overturned on legal technicalities. On Christmas Eve 1992, outgoing President George H. W. Bush, who had been vice president during the scandal and insisted he was "out of the loop," issued pardons to six key figures, including Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger, who had not yet stood trial. Walsh condemned the pardons as completing what he called a cover-up that had gone on for more than six years. Diary entries later revealed that Bush had in fact known "fully the details" of the affair even as he publicly denied involvement. Only one person connected to the entire scandal ever served a single day in prison. #archaeohistories

He is repeating every foreign and domestic policy mistake the US has made over the last five decades, but he's doing it with a gracelessness, cluelessness, and corruption that has no precedent.

The GOP made nearly a trillion dollars in cuts to health care last year to give tax breaks to the rich. Now they want to cut more funding and further increase health insurance costs to fund Trump's war with Iran. These people couldn't be more out of touch.
Axios@axios

NEW: Republicans are considering reductions in federal health spending to help pay for a budget bill containing as much as $200 billion to fund the Iran war and immigration enforcement. axios.com/2026/03/30/gop…

@highbrow_nobrow @atrupar What about seniors who fell for Reagan's Reverse Mortgage con and now in foreclosure? Mr. President. We once owned our homes outright and now Banks that were bailed out by the government are taking our homes. Something is wrong with that whole deal. What are you going to do ?

@StellaParton When I think about what kinds of work men can do, I can't picture a preacher doing any real work. It's like they are only able to manipulate people. That's their calling. Too many use it in a bad way.

This notion that Trump of all people is an anti-fraud crusader is complete BS — he was personally found legally liable for fraud! California has been eliminating fraud for YEARS. In fact, the Feds consistently showcase the integrity of our Medicaid program to help other states!

@KFILE @TencicFred Yup Dems need to watch for this. If they can't cheat by suppressing voter participation or actually messing with voter rolls they'll cheat by pretending to be Dems. It's this corrupt party of the oligarchs, robberbarons and bazillionaires only way of winning. They must cheat.
