A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.

We mustn’t let this war do so.

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?

Khanna: "Trump said the Iraq War was a disaster. He said Libya was a disaster. He ran bc a big part of the MAGA base did not want another war in the Middle East. They rejected Lindsey Graham, & yet here we have Lindsey Graham being the face of Republican foreign policy. I believe this is a betrayal"

Let’s level set.

Trump’s justification for war: Iran was just β€œweeks away” from having a nuclear weapon.

That’s propaganda. He’s lying.

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"

BTC: Given the fact that Trump is named in the Epstein files 38,000 times, do you think he should testify like Bill & Hillary did?

Katie Pavlich: I think the president has bigger issues to deal with.

BTC: Bigger than being implicated in a pedophile ring?

Katie: The Epstein thing is a distraction.

Lindsey Graham: β€œIf we lose anybody in this operation, they will die a noble death because they will have sacrificed their lives to make us safer here at home.”

We’ve heard this before.

I’m not buying it now, and I didn’t buy it then.

You have clearly not read the War Powers Act, Mike. Everything you've written is totally wrong.

The War Powers Act SPECIFICALLY PROHIBITS military action unless: a/ there is a prior congressional authorization; or b/ it's a response to an attack against the U.S.

Chris Murphy: "We need to stand up for the American citizens that ICE is murdering, the kids they're terrorizing. They should stop this illegal war and they should stop ICE from terrorizing our communities. We should demand they do both things."

They spent billions on regime change in Venezuela and left the Maduro's head of torture in charge.

They are now spending billions on regime change in Iran, knowing the most likely outcome will be harder line leadership.

We do not have serious people running our country.

Would you be surprised to hear that none of the leading American political reporters are talking about this? They are acting like this never happened. Because it reveals the state of mind of our Commander in Chief. And that’s a taboo subject in America.

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."
