The Standard Deviation 📊

If every American voter, without a passport, decided to get a passport, as their primary form of ID, it would take 5 years to fill the requests. But Republicans want this to be in effect before the midterms. They know this, of course, so it’s obvious voter suppression.

🚨 JUST IN: In a jaw-dropping development, Japan, Britain, France, Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands pledging support for securing the "Strait of Hormuz", reversing their earlier refusals amid United States pressure.

🚨 BOOM! AFTER PRESIDENT TRUMP'S HARD PRESSURE, SIX AMERICAN ALLIES JUST PLEDGED FULL SUPPORT TO SECURE THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ SHIPPING LANES! Secure the Strait! LFG!

We're at the "hide the coffins" stage of the war.

For the record, the president of the United States is now simultaneously claiming that he has won the war, is currently winning the war, needs help to win the war, and needs no help to win the war. All to destroy the nuclear program he claims to have already destroyed last year.

27% of the U.S. National Debt is from spending under Trump’s presidencies.

Kim: Yeah, just because Speaker Johnson said it doesn't make it true. We've seen Speaker Johnson over and over again just shill for this administration. He's acting more like a cabinet secretary in the Trump administration, rather than a leader of a separate branch of government.  But what the American people see is right before our eyes: we have this war day, 18 billions of dollars spent. And this is not going how Trump wanted it go, because they had no strategy. They have no objective. Still, to this day, I cannot tell you exactly what they are trying to achieve and when they can say that this war is over. And that's because it is just a total debacle and it's getting worse and worse and worse at a time when the American people want us to focus in on lowering their costs—we’re now seeing those costs increase dramatically

The most entertaining two minutes I've watched today.

Jon Stewart assembles the ultimate panel to explain the Iran war: Four different Donald Trumps contradicting each other. This is pure comedic genius.

Here are my top 15 programs in college football... My criteria are a 2-year window of overall wins, wins in the college football playoff, and at a top 10 (FPI) level, and my perceptions of in-game coaching, development, scouting, and recruiting. Thoughts?

@SenAshleyMoody Americans will pass on voter suppression, thanks anyways.

I just voted yes on the SAVE America Act on the Senate floor. As an original cosponsor, I know how critical this legislation is to American elections and we must get this done.

@LeaderJohnThune The American people do not want this. About 6 MAGA social media accounts and the Trump administration want this.

Starting today, we are going to have an important fight on the Senate floor. Polling shows broad support for all of the issues included in the SAVE America Act. But never underestimate Democrats’ ability to get on the wrong side of what the American people want.

@PressSec I ain’t reading all that. If you have to use 15 paragraphs in an explanation than it’s more than likely bull crap.

There are many false claims in this letter but let me address one specifically: that "Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation."   This is the same false claim that Democrats and some in the liberal media have been repeating over and over.   As President Trump has clearly and explicitly stated, he had strong and compelling evidence that Iran was going to attack the United States first.   This evidence was compiled from many sources and factors. President Trump would never make the decision to deploy military assets against a foreign adversary in a vacuum.   Iran is the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism. The Iranian regime is evil. It proudly killed Americans, waged war against our country, and openly threatened us all the way up to the launch of Operation Epic Fury.   Iran was aggressively expanding their short-range ballistic missiles to combine with their naval assets to give themselves immunity – meaning they would have a degree of a capabilities that would give them immunity to hold us and the rest of the world hostage.   The regime aimed to use those ballistic missiles as a shield to continue achieving their ultimate goal – nuclear weapons.   The President, through his top negotiators, gave the regime every single possible opportunity to abandon this unacceptable course by permanently giving up their nuclear ambitions in exchange for sanctions relief, free nuclear fuel, and potential economic partnerships with our country.   But they would not say yes to peace because obtaining nuclear weapons was their fundamental goal.   President Trump ultimately made the determination that a joint attack with Israel would greatly reduce the risk to American lives that would come from a first strike by the terrorist Iranian regime and address this imminent threat to America’s national security interests.   All of this led to President Trump arriving at the determination that this military operation was necessary for U.S. national security, which is why he launched the massively successful Operation Epic Fury. The Commander-in-Chief determines what does and does not constitute a threat, because he is the one constitutionally empowered to do so - and because the American people went to the ballot box and entrusted him and him alone to make such final judgments. And finally, the absurd allegation that President Trump made this decision based on the influence of others, even foreign countries, is both insulting and laughable. President Trump has been remarkably consistent and has said for DECADES that Iran can NEVER possess a nuclear weapon. As someone who actually witnesses President Trump’s decision-making process on a daily basis, I can attest to the fact that he is always looking to do what’s in the best interest of the United States of America — period. America First.

Lieu: "I want the White House to send Kevin Hassett to every single TV channel and to every single swing House district where he can tell the voters of America that hurting consumers is 'the last of our concerns.'"

CNN just played a montage of Trump contradicting himself several times — just minutes apart — during today’s press conference. Trump has not convinced himself about his own strategy on Iran.

In the dramatic circumstances of war, information must guard against the risk of turning into propaganda. It is every journalist's duty to verify the news, so as not to become a megaphone for power. They must show the suffering that war always brings to populations, which entails showing the face of war and recounting it through the eyes of victims.
