What we are seeing in Iran is not a regime change — but a transformation within the regime itself, one that has made it more extreme. For years, Ali Khamenei maintained a delicate internal balance between hardliners and more pragmatic elements. That balance has now been disrupted. The outcome is not a “Venezuela scenario,” but something closer to North Korea: a system increasingly dominated by the IRGC, alongside a younger, less experienced leadership that is more ideological and more driven by grievance. Given that this regime is not going anywhere in the foreseeable future, this trajectory points to a bleak outlook, first and foremost for the Iranian people themselves. #IranWar









🚨 Breaking: House Natural Resources SHUT DOWN over Don Jr. Subpoena! 🚨 Donald Trump Jr’s 1789 Capital investment firm made a major investment in a rare earth mineral company called Vulcan Elements months before it received $620 million in the largest loan in Pentagon history from DOD and $50 million from Commerce. This was at the same time Trump Sr. was threatening to blow up our NATO alliance and invade Greenland, where Vulcan has significant rare earth interests. We know Trump and his family are lining their own pockets with corrupt government deals. But, when we tried to subpoena his Jr. to answer questions today, Republicans shut it down. ⬇️ @Rep_Grijalva @RepHuffman @RepDexterOR @RepYassAnsari @NRDems

I’m just gonna say it. Headlights are too bright. It’s every single car now, too bright.





I hope the first thing this task force does is inform Pete Hegseth about what happens in the war colleges he's never attended - or apparently, even visited - because all this stuff isn't it. He has no idea what he's talking about here, but that's no surprise.
