Tulsi Gabbard just admitted: 1) No imminent threat from Iran 2) Trump has no end game 3) Iran’s new leader is even more of a threat

The U.S. Was the Only Nation to Vote “NO” Against Justice for Women and Girls The United Nations Commission on the Status of Women just adopted its annual “Agreed Conclusions” focused on access to justice for women and girls, including eliminating discriminatory laws and holding perpetrators of violence accountable. When the final vote was called, 37 countries voted yes, six abstained, and the UNITED STATES WAS THE ONLY COUNTRY TO VOTE NO. Let that sink in. The United States chose to oppose a global agreement centered on fairness in the law, protection from violence, and equal access to justice for women and girls. When the world came together to move the legal system closer to basic fairness, the United States stepped away.

BREAKING: WSJ reports Russia is giving intelligence to Iran to hit U.S. forces. Meanwhile, Trump has lifted sanctions on Russia, allowing them to sell more oil. So…we are basically paying Putin to kill our troops. Let THAT sink in.

This guy . . .

This is how it's done. This is direct and irrefutable evidence that the President of the United States misled the American people as to why America started a war against Iran. There was no imminent danger. Trump needs to be impeached after the midterms.

Widespread voter fraud doesn't exist. Here are the facts: Even if you only used conservative and Republican sourced material, the claim of widespread voter fraud still falls apart. The Heritage Foundation’s own Election Fraud Map says it is only “a sampling of proven instances of election fraud,” and Heritage reported in January 2023 that its database contained 1,412 proven cases nationwide, spread across many years and all types of election misconduct. Using presidential elections alone, the number is about 938.5 million votes from 2000 through 2024. That total comes from the published presidential vote totals for 2000, 2012, 2016, 2020, and 2024, plus the 2004 and 2008 totals, and it means Heritage’s 1,412 proven fraud cases amount to roughly 0.00015 percent of those votes, about 1 case for every 665,000 votes cast. If you include midterm federal elections too, the denominator climbs well past 1 billion ballots, which makes the rate even smaller. On noncitizen voting, the evidence is even thinner. A Cato review of Heritage’s much cited database said it contained only about 85 cases involving noncitizens since 2002, and Republican led state reviews have produced the same basic result: Georgia’s Republican secretary of state said a 2024 audit found 20 noncitizens among 8.2 million registered voters, and Iowa’s Republican secretary of state said a 2024 review found 35 noncitizens voted out of more than 1.6 million ballots cast. Even Trump’s own voter fraud commission disbanded without finding evidence of widespread fraud. Taken together, the right’s own numbers show isolated misconduct, not documented fraud on any scale that comes close to justifying claims of a broad national crisis.

Women, military families and seniors… The senate Is debating the SAVE America Act right now. Every voter should be alarmed. What this bill claims to protect and what it would actually do are two very different things. You need to see the fine print. open.substack.com/pub/mitchthela…

@DNIGabbard Bullshit.

Donald Trump was overwhelmingly elected by the American people to be our President and Commander in Chief. As our Commander in Chief, he is responsible for determining what is and is not an imminent threat, and whether or not to take action he deems necessary to protect the safety and security of our troops, the American people and our country.  The Office of the Director of National Intelligence is responsible for helping coordinate and integrate all intelligence to provide the President and Commander in Chief with the best information available to inform his decisions.  After carefully reviewing all the information before him, President Trump concluded that the terrorist Islamist regime in Iran posed an imminent threat and he took action based on that conclusion.

The Department of Justice just played itself. When you mishandle lawsuits, you do not just lose cases. You lose credibility. I break it down with Katie below. Read the full article if you want the rest. open.substack.com/pub/mitchthela…

Joe Kent’s resignation letter tells you everything you need to know. “I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran" "Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby" "As a veteran who deployed to combat 11 times and as a Gold Star husband who lost my beloved wife Shannon in a war manufactured by Israel, I cannot support sending the next generation off to fight and die in a war that serves no benefit to the American people nor justifies the cost of American lives.”

Pay attention to what just happened. He called the governor of California the president of the United States. Then he doubled down on the idea that if you have dyslexia, you are somehow less than. That is not leadership. That is someone showing you exactly how they think about people. Now you have a decision to make. You can scroll past it. You can shrug it off. Or you can take it personally, because this kind of thinking affects real people, real families, and the wrong direction this country is has taken. If you are tired of it, do something that actually matters. Please show up and vote in the midterms.

He just approved BP to drill deeper than the rig that caused the worst oil spill in American history and used Cold War emergency powers to force a criminally charged pipeline back online on the California coast, all in the same week. I broke down the facts, exposed the money trail, and explained why this should terrify every American who lives near a coastline and cares about our environment. These are two of the most reckless oil decisions in a generation and nobody in mainstream media is connecting the dots. I did, and what I found will make you furious.

BREAKING: Donald Trump really just called Gavin Newsom “The President of the United States.” It’s getting embarrassing! He’s losing it faster than any of us have thought he would.

If you want to understand why people vote the way they do, start with intelligence. It shapes how you process information, how you handle complexity, and whether you can separate facts from noise. And as for MAGA, let’s stop pretending it’s just politics. It checks every box of a cult. Loyalty over truth. Identity over evidence. Once you see it, you can’t unsee it.

As a private mediator, I watched two people log into a Zoom mediation who had never met each other and were already convinced the other was the problem. Four hours later the case was fully resolved. When we started, each party was in a separate breakout room with their lawyer. I moved back and forth between them, listening, sharing information, and keeping the conversation moving forward. At the beginning there was frustration and distrust. As the hours passed something interesting happened. It became clear they actually had far more in common than they realized. The dispute that pushed them into mediation was largely fueled by a third party who had pointed fingers in both directions. Once the two sides began understanding the facts and the people behind them, the tension started to dissolve. By the end of the session they reached an agreement that satisfied everyone involved. No courtroom. No trial. Just conversation. After decades in the legal profession, moments like this still remind me of something simple. When people finally talk and truly listen, problems that once felt impossible often become solvable. If you have seen something like this happen in your own work, I would like to hear about it.
