The American people want and need help affording everyday cost of living.

Instead, Donald Trump has plunged us into another endless war costing billions of taxpayer dollars and American lives.

Senate Dems aim to disrupt Trump bid to declare national emergency on elections The fast-track process would ensure a public vote and put pressure on Republicans to take a position.

NEW: Sen. Alex Padilla warned that Trump is considering β€œa new illegal, unconstitutional Executive Order” that β€œmay include banning mail-in voting, eliminating major voting registration methods” and more.

He said Senate Democrats are ready to block it.

Bombing Iran Is Easy. What Comes Next Is Not. It comes down to a straightforward question: What’s the plan to translate military force into political change?

NEW: "It is true that air campaigns can destroy things. What they cannot do, by themselves, is build political outcomes."

Really superb piece from our @markhertling.bsky.social.

This is the most cavalier manner any president has ever gone to war with ... . Saying, 'Man, some people are going to get killed.' ... You have to take much more responsibility for placing the lives of the men and women who serve our country on the line than that."

Trump gets distracted by his ballroom while talking about his war with Iran:

We're improving the building. See that nice drape? In about a year and a half, you're gonna see a very, very beautiful building. I always liked gold. It'll be spectacular, the most beautiful ballroom.

My Administration is proud to support housing projects like Westpark in West Philly that are going to help more Pennsylvanians put a roof over their head at a cost they can afford.

Six brave American servicemembers have already died in Trump's foolish Iran War. How many more American lives are chickenhawk politicians willing to sacrifice?

I’m the proud son of a hairdresser and a union bus driver. One of my grandfathers worked for the railroad and the other one was a steelworker. Steel and unions are part of my DNA, just like it is for every brother and sister in the @steelworkers.bsky.social

"President Trump has launched a war of choice against Iran... without making the case to the American people ... and without congressional approval. ... Congress needs to get back into session as quickly as possible and correct that mistake."

I'd put my money on US/Israel continuing total domination of Iran, and it's prettttyyyy hard to mourn the loss of that country's leadership. But wasn't there ALREADY a food/water crisis in Iran? Is there a relief plan to address that if demolition of regime makes it worse? Did anyone think about it?

US task force deploys low-cost, 1-way attack drones in combat for first time in Iran strikes The drones were launched by CENTCOM’s Task Force Scorpion Strike, which was specifically formed to develop and deploy one-way attack drones at scale.

The U.S. bombardment of Iran on Saturday featured a U.S. Central Command task force’s first ever deployment of low-cost, one-way attack drones in combat. They are modeled after Iran’s Shahed drones.
