We need better Democrats.

Not a single dollar more for Trump’s illegal war.

This sounds like an ad, but it's about murder.

GOP senator joins police in ejecting anti-war protester from Capitol Hill hearing A Senate Republican assisted several police officers in ejecting a man who interrupted a Capitol Hill hearing on Wednesday to object to the U.S. and Israel's war with Iran.

this is literally right wing propaganda. cbs news cannot be trusted.

The Milky Way core on a blue sky above Joshua trees and some shrubs

Pretty cool first milky way shot of the season when you consider it's a single frame, 8 seconds, captured using a bucket as a uhhh tripod. Goodnight!

I’m still in disbelief that Capitol Police and a Republican senator broke the arm of a Marine in full dress uniform because he was voicing opposition to sending troops to Iran. Horrifying.

AOC: This is about actual crimes happening in front of us. This is about shredding the Constitution and plunging us into war. This is about taking crypto money and money laundering… So if you’re asking me if I’d support impeachment, I do

“I oppose the war but I voted to fund it because I had no choice” will be the talking point of too many.

one thing I haven't seen enough people talk about is Iran's infrastructure was already at the edge of falling apart, Tehran already has a serious water shortage problem, bombing and the disruption of government services and control could push it over the edge unleashing a massive humanitarian crisis

You people are insane. The U.S. government did it because it wanted to do it, not because Israel manipulated us to do it.
You are absolutely delusional and normalizing terrible views that could lead to terrible things.

We elected a fanatic warmonger that installed a bunch of Nazis in key positions. What did you think was going to happen?

Not gonna share the video of Republican US Senator Tim Sheehy breaking a protesting Marine's hand, but you can find it on @charlotteclymer.bsky.social's timeline.

I'll just say that in a functional country, Sheehy would be expelled by the Senate.

Democratic Senators should publicly push for that.

And yet Congress, including many if not most Democrats, is going to race to vote $50 billion to pay for more war crimes instead of healthcare for struggling families. Apparently to be "electable" in America you have to be an accessory to mass murder. I am so disgusted right now

A war that isn't a war, documented with videos that may or may not be real, funded by elected leaders who are neither for nor against it, is the most dystopian thing that's happened in my lifetime

Pete Hegseth Treats Fallen American Soldiers as a PR Problem His use of the Iran war dead to attack the media was disgraceful.

Pete Hegseth, if he does not resign, should at least get out of the way and let better men than him talk to the nation and to the press.

never, ever, ever, ever accept "how will you pay for it?" as an argument against social programs.

It’s all very worrying but this seems especially scary because it feels like a case of “we have these toys, we might as well use them”. And the logical endpoint of that thinking is extremely bad.

Karoline Leavitt says American boots on the ground in Iran are "on the table"

Lawmakers renewed their push to pass the SAVE Act, which would block millions of Americans from voting. It failed before — and it must fail again. Tell your senators to stop this attack on the freedom to vote: bit.ly/4srDVLB

This is what “regime change” means for Trump. No freedom for the Venezuelan, no democratic vote, just leave the old dictatorial system in place with most of the same people.

someone should stop this psychotic motherfucker imho

Having suffered the pain of a tooth infection I can unequivocally say that this man died in absolute agony. The type of nerve pain that will have you screaming and wondering quite rightly if you’ve gone insane

This man was tortured through neglect, and everyone involved is an irredeemable monster

if not war then why war shaped

I made a book! Guardians of Life: Indigenous Science, Indigenous Wisdom, and Restoring the Planet, has dropped! Along with my a decade of my photographs, it was the collaborative effort of over two dozen Indigenous people from around the world! www.Guardians-of-Life.org

Iran-Contra happened 40 years ago! It *literally* involved the US selling weapons to... Iran.

So, the argument is we were funding the armed forces of a country we were at war with?

Exclusive: Defense executives plan to meet at White House as strikes on Iran diminish stockpiles Companies including Lockheed Martin and Raytheon parent RTX have been invited.

The Pentagon is about to ask Congress for an estimated $50 billion in extra funds for the war on Iran.

Love @jamestalarico.bsky.social framing here both for Texas and national moment.

Much of what MAGA does is flagrantly illegal. Some of it is legal.

All of it is corrupt.

I agree, quite apart from the merits of the case. Alito could only defend the Supreme Court's authority to intervene by grievously misrepresenting the facts. The reality is that there's no plausible argument SCOTUS had the power to do what it did. Why didn't that matter to six justices?

This is what weak and insecure people think confidence looks like: buffoonish bluster and swagger, like a 12-year-old bully. It doesn‘t inspire trust or security. It inspires grave concern for the lives of the people serving our nation whose fate is in the hands of these overcompensating oafs.

We need to pass a House rule or law that requires them to work a certain number of days to get paid. Since Mike Johnson took over these people hardly ever work. When they finally come back after weeks off they work 2 days and he sends them home for 2 more weeks. It’s ridiculous.
