Moskowitz on Noem: "Is she hiding her face like her ICE agents now? By the way - is this what the $800b went to? Every day we see her after some new tragedy, she's wearing a different outfit with a different hat. She looks ridiculous. She deserves to be removed from her job, & if not impeached."

Interesting fact. Make of it what you will. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi’s visit to Beirut today was not wholly business. He brought his whole family with him. He’s expected to remain in Lebanon for the foreseeable future.

Just a reminder to everyone that Iranian revolutionaries are everywhere in the west in the diaspora. I met with a group in London today. There are generations waiting to return home who would be dead or in prison now if they were back in Iran.

NEW: Iran’s capital, Tehran, is now BURNING
110 cities across Iran have seen unrest and protests against the ruling regime in the last 12 days
The only thing more remarkable than the scale of this revolution is the negligence of mainstream media in covering it.

The Trump administration’s attempts to blame “left wing ideology” and the victim herself for being murdered by a psychopathic ICE agent is taking manipulative gaslighting to a new and outrageous level. I know MAGA drinks this koolaid but surely the rest of America can see through this insanity?
