a slurring Trump in new video on American troops killed by Iran: β€œSadly, there will likely be more before it ends. That's the way it is. Likely be more.β€œ

Spanish PM Pedro SΓ‘nchez: β€œToday more than ever, it is essential to remember that one can be against a hateful regime as is the case with the Iranian regime…and at the same time be against an unjustified, dangerous military intervention outside of international law.”

Turns out that elected politicians retaining and acting on any sort of shame was a load-bearing part of the US Constitution

Right now Trump is spending billions of dollars for massive military force against Iran... without a clear congressional mandate or broad public backing.

Meanwhile we're being told we β€œdon’t have enough” for affordable care, living wages, or public services.

You want to get rid of speed cameras so that you can speed without getting fined. I want to get rid of speed cameras and instead fill up the road lanes with so much impedimenta that it's impossible to get up a lick of speed and speed cameras would be redundant. We are not the same.

I love how the Party that wants the 10 Commandments in every classroom in America voted for a man who has shamelessly, and with malice aforethought, broken all of them.

Today's Republican voters have an overwhelming fear that somehow, somewhere, someone they view as inferior is being treated as an equal.

This defines everything they actively support, and everything they're willing to put up with.

As long as Republicans punch down, they'll never lose their base.

Three United States service people have been killed (so far).

The death count for the Epstein Coverup keeps growing.

The costs of this Iran war debacle will likely be more than the cost of extending the ACA health insurance subsidies.

If you asked Americans, which do you want: another war in the Middle East or lower health care costs at home, is the margin 90 to 10? 95 to 5?

US military says three of its troops killed in first Iran operation casualties Three U.S. service members have been killed and another five have been seriously wounded, in the first casualties of the unfolding U.S. operations against Iran, the U.S. military said on Sunday.

Reports indicate at least 100 children have already been killed in strikes on schools. That is unconscionable.

Three U.S. service members are dead as a result of this entirely preventable war of choice.

The blood of these service members, these children, and every civilian rests in Trump’s hands.

Beauty! 😍 So excited to put in my order today from Sparrowhawk Native Plants. No snow roses, but I loaded up on Red-flowering Currant, some Douglas' Aster, Douglas Spirea, and some more Goldenrod and Oregon Tall Grape to fill out a couple of spaces around the edges of the house & yard. 😍🌸🏡🌺🌻πŸͺ»πŸŒΏ

These guys were selling t-shirts until they needed a war to cover up the intentional damage they did to the economy and the president's involvement in a pedophilia scandal.

Kaine on Fox: "The president can act to defend US against imminent attack without congressional approval. But if you're going to initiate war, you need Congress. The president not only did not come to Congress, he acted without even notification to the vast majority of us. This is an illegal war."

We had elections during the Civil War.

Trump has no mechanism to delay, postpone, or suspend electionsβ€”legally or otherwise.

Accountability is coming.

And there's nothing that can be done to stop it.

Let’s all call Massie today and get him to switch parties. Then force Gonzalez to resign. Then get the gavel, issue some subpoenas, and impeach some motherfuckers

Once again, this is the guy who conned a Nobel Peace Prize winner to give him her Nobel reward. You want to talk fraud, talk about a man who covets a Nobel but claims it the easy way and then wages war.
