Can’t believe our tax dollars are being used for political ads. The White House is now airing a taxpayer-funded ad during commercial breaks on Fox News. The 30-second spot has all the markings of a campaign ad, except the disclaimer at the bottom says: “Paid for by the U.S. Government.”

The Israeli PM prompted a walkout then teed up his targets to show him up for the war criminal he is. The White House, meanwhile, pumped out pro-Trump ads of dubious sanity but also likely illegality.

I know it’s apparently only salient to most American media outlets to talk about oil, but for the few remaining people left with a soul, thousands of people live on this tiny island in only 8 sq miles. This reads like a serial killer prison interview.
After days of conflicting messaging from the White House on how much longer it will continue to wage war on Iran, Trump alleged that US strikes had "totally demolished" most of Kharg Island, and told the network that its military may hit site "a few more times just for fun"

Axios:

What they're saying: "I can go long and take over the whole thing, or end it in two or three days and tell the Iranians: 'See you again in a few years if you start rebuilding [your nuclear and missile programs]," Trump said in a five-minute phone interview from Mar-a-Lago.

"In any case, it will take them several years to recover from this attack," he predicted.
