Trump’s attacks on Iran were based on vibes, not new intel, two administration officials tell Rolling Stone. “There is no intel,” one of the sources says. “The intelligence assessments have not really changed”

Rachel Maddow: “If Trump wasn’t getting the intelligence that Iran is on the verge of a nuclear weapon from the intelligence community… who is he getting it from? Israel?” The right question. And pretty obviously the right answer.

Iran’s stockpile dropped to 0 after Obama made the Iran Deal… until Trump pulled out of it (against the advice of his own Defense Secretary, General Mattis… because he hated Obama) Feels pretty relevant in this moment.

DOGE already has cost tax payers money (at the very least $500B/year in IRS revenues, but that's before other huge costs are accounted for). And as I keep noting, Elon's $150B/year estimate is what some of the IGs who got fired were finding--w/o cutting services.

The Atlantic has now published the Signal texts with attack plans in response to administration denials. I worked at the Pentagon. If information like this is not classified, nothing is. If Hegseth is claiming he declassified this information, he should be shown the door for having done so.
