I love democracy, animals, gardening, photography, editing photos, teaching, learning, humor, and waterfalls. I hope for peace on Earth, good will towards all, and much less misinformation and disinformation in this world. Facts matter.

Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA), who's leading the war powers push, says Senate should immediately return to session to "block the use of U.S. forces in hostilities against Iran"

And... House vote could happen by Wednesday-Thursday

The thrill Trump gets from having people blow up & kill other people, and from watching other people fight at UFC, comes from deep insecurity rooted in his personal cowardice. It makes him feel tough. It makes him feel adequate. Things he has never been but always wanted to be.

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?

Interestingly this piece seems to have touched a chord. Just got an email from a Canadian who basically says the United States has become irredeemable in her eyes, and not just because of the deranged attacks on Canada; also Trump's corruption and US wars abroad. It's hard to disagree with her.

The Department of Education has hung a massive banner honoring a racist college dropout who built a lucrative career out of targeting professors for harassment

Khanna: "Clinton has set a precedent, a new Clinton rule. That means Trump should do the same -- answer questions -- and Howard Lutnick should do the same. I'm working with a Republican to subpoena Lutnick next week ... someone made allegations against Trump that she was sexually abused as a minor"

It’s insane this is legal. People around Trump are profiting off war and death. I’m introducing legislation ASAP to ban this.

They are literally trying to convince you that starting a war is ending a war.

USA TODAY reports the death toll at the school at 85: β€œIranian media and officials are reporting a joint U.S.-Israeli attack on Iran struck a girls' primary school in the southern part of the country, killing 85.”

This is social media, not SSRN. Strangers don’t owe you cites. If i make an easily google-able claim of fact, feel free to google it and judge my credibility as you will.

Iran Says 40 School Children Killed in Strikes Iran said that at least 40 elementary school children were killed as the result of an attack in Minab, in Iran’s southern province of Hormozgan, according to state broadcaster IRIB, which said 48 more...

Other figures say 40. Posting for clarity but whether it’s 85, 40, literally any number big or small, a dead child is a dead child. They didn’t do anything. We are not the good guys here.

The President has launched our nation and our great military into a war of choice, risking American lives and resources, ignoring American law, and endangering our allies and partners. It does nothing to help with the urgent problems here at home that Americans face every day.

It wasn’t long ago that thousands of American families lost sons and daughters for a war with no end in sight. Trump is risking that again with Iran, and he’s doing it all without Congressional approval.

The Senate needs to come back to Washington to do its job.
