Senate Republicans vote down legislation to halt Iran war in Congress’ first vote on the conflict Senate Republicans have voted down an effort to halt President Donald Trump’s war against Iran. It demonstrated early GOP support for a conflict that has rapidly spread across the Middle East with no ...

John Fetterman and all his Republican Senate colleagues (save for Rand Paul) now own this war and its fallout.

Republicans Wage War As Politics ...and politics as war.

Via @brianbeutler.bsky.social, Dems should politicize the hell out of Trump's Iran bombing:

"It would be a mistake to treat this as an above-board idea over which people of good faith can disagree. There is no merit here, and there was no imminent threat."

Trump last year: "Everyone says I should get the Nobel Peace Prize... But for me, the real prize will be the sons and daughters who will grow up with their mothers and fathers because millions of people are no longer being killed in endless and unglorious wars."

We had a deal to keep Iran from getting nukes!

Trump backed out of it because he wanted to own Obama. Iran kept following its end of the deal for a year anyway, begging Trump to reenter the deal.

Trump literally backed out of the no nukes deal and then initiated a war because of nukes. Insanity.

Everything the Ellison family could own if Paramount buys Warner Bros:

Paramount+
CBS
CNN
Showtime
HBO
Warner Bros
TNT
TBS
MTV
DC Studios
Nickelodeon
Comedy Central
Cartoon Network
And more...

This is a rotten deal that the Trump regime has rubber stamped.

State AGs must step in and block it.

The richest man owns X.

The second and third richest men control Google.

The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.

And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

See the problem here?

As Trump ramps up his warmongering with Iran, his own son-in-law Jared Kushner β€” who is leading negotiations with Iran β€” stands to profit from lucrative contracts with its regional rivals.

The Trump family's insatiable greed endangers us all.

As real world wins against authoritarianism (abroad & our own history) show, it nearly always requires sustained non-violent collective action - in other words, we need people to alter their behavior & that comes of them believing conditions are altered & won't right themselves via usual means.

In competitive authoritarianism (US right now) there's often a "loyal opposition" that's essential to the regime. They are so wedded to "decorum," they go along with rites & rituals that help regime prop up veneer of normalcy, undermining clear view of regimes actions & aims.
