Did the Secretary of War really just announce “No Quarter” in the Iran War? Isn’t that a War Crime?

Trump and his administration may be confused — but Russia is not our friend.

They threaten our allies, our interests, and our democracy.

All we need is one Republican to put country over party and help hold Russia accountable.

“For months, Atty General Bondi has been instrumental in orchestrating the White House’s cover-up of the Epstein files, and has failed to comply with our bipartisan subpoena for the release of the complete, unredacted files. The American people deserve transparency.."

ICE brought chaos to our streets.

Instead of focusing on violent criminals, they pulled over off-duty local law enforcement officers.

I’ve been notified about another death in ICE custody.

This marks a stunning 40 deaths during the second Trump administration.

This cannot continue. There must be real accountability for ICE and DHS.

They should have just given the Kurds a state right after the First World War, when they were redrawing boundaries willy-nilly.

When this war started & they started talking about regime change through urging an armed uprising, all I could think about was the Kurds getting murked by Saddam in 1991. I didn't expect history to repeat itself quite so specifically, & that's on me

The Pentagon confirmed there was NO sign that Iran was going to attack the U.S.

No imminent threat.
No authorization from Congress.
No reason our service members should be dead.
And no exit plan or strategy.

This war on Iran is a reckless and deadly mistake by this regime.

Fact Check: Trump DID start this war.

The Pentagon confirmed there was no evidence Iran was going to attack the U.S.

No imminent threat. No exit plan or strategy.

Just more lies from this regime as they cost the lives of service members and innocent civilians.
