β€œThe Iraq War generated a drastic increase in jihadist terrorism, a serious migration crisis in the Eastern Mediterranean and a generalised increase in energy prices.”

β€œBut which in reality, seen in perspective, produced the opposite effect, it unleashed the greatest wave of insecurity that our continent has suffered since the fall of the Berlin Wall.”

More Sanchez: β€œ23 years ago, another US administration dragged us into a war in the Middle East. A war that, in theory, it was said at the time, was being fought to eliminate Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction, bring democracy and ensure global security.

β€œAnd it is absolutely unacceptable that those leaders who are unable to fulfill that mission use the smoke of war to hide their failure and, in the process, fill the pockets of a few.”

Sanchez: β€œWe are not going to be accomplices to something that is bad for the world and that is also contrary to our values and interests, simply because of the fear of reprisals from some.

We have absolute confidence in the economic, institutional and I would also say moral strength of our country

Objection: What Happened in Dallas County Was Not a Glitch What happened in Dallas County tonight should scare the hell out of you.

What just happened in Dallas County is one of the most blatant voter suppression operations I've ever seenβ€”and it happened in a *primary*.

In March. Imagine November.

I broke it down here:

Iranian FM Araghchi accused Trump of treating nuclear talks "like a real estate deal," saying big lies distorted reality and unrealistic expectations were never met, adding that Trump "betrayed diplomacy and the Americans who elected him." #Iran

Trump helps MAGA influencers flee Middle East war zone on private jet Trump adviser Alex Bruesewitz, dogwalker Sarah Daither, former lobbyist Jay Footlik, and others managed to escape on a private plane thanks to the White House.

The White House has helped MAGA influencers escape the Middle East on a private jet while more than a million ordinary Americans are still trapped with no way out.

HIRONO: DHS was lying that Ms Martinez was a domestic terrorist who ambushed federal agents. Yes or no -- that was a lie?

NOEM: Every day our law enforcement officers face tragic situations--

HIRONO: I'm not hearing yes or no. It was a lie.

We just flipped a statehouse seat in Arkansas, y’all, with a 25 point swing left.

The midterms are going to be a Goddamn rout.

Congratulations to Alex Holliday and the DLCC. Brick by brick we build a better world.

It’s wild to see her go harder on Trump than 99% of the Democratic Party.

Jared Polis, Gov of Colorado, just pardoned Tina Peters (a 2020 election conspiracist who broke the law) at the demand of Trump

I’m shocked and sickened

Crockett brought up a great point, why was only Dallas county singled out for the rule change?

In Cuba, relentless US pressure tells in human suffering Trump’s oil blockade has driven the island’s long-standing humanitarian crisis to a new level. Cubans are running short of coping strategies.

The US blockade on oil shipments to Cuba is collective punishment; creating a full-blown humanitarian collapse. Healthcare, food systems, electricity, and public services are deteriorating rapidly and simultaneously. It’s the elderly and children suffering. www.thenewhumanitarian.org/news-feature...

Americans did not ask for a war with Iran.

They asked for a lower cost of living, affordable health care, and a government focused on making life better at home.οΏΌ

Anyone have a source for this? I know Polis signaled he may about an hour ago, but I can’t find anything that he’s actually pardoned her. Thanks!
