Frankly, if this comes as any surprise then you really need to start paying attention.

Sen. Martin Heinrich: β€œRemember when Republicans said we couldn't afford those tax credits for your healthcare?

Now they’re burning through almost a billion dollars a day on their Iran War”

I hope the rest of the country now understands how full ofπŸ’© Spencer Cox is with his lip service to β€œworking together.” He is a garage human. Always has been.

NBC’s Richard Engel: β€œThe White House meme campaign is outraging many former US military commanders… they say only someone who has never really seen combat would think it’s a joke and put out material like this.”

Trump openly lies about the bombed girls school. As Americans we make mistakes in war but they are unintentional and we own them.

Trump blaming Iran is no different than what Putin does when he blames Ukraine for attacks Russia clearly does.

We’ve become accepting of pure lies

Anthony Blinken says Israel tried to pressure Obama to bomb Iran, warning they’d do it with or without the U.S. Obama refused. Trump caved to the same tactic. Also worth noting: Obama’s name doesn’t appear in the Epstein tapes.

🚨 Switzerland just declared US-Israeli attacks on Iran a violation of international law.
Switzerland.

The country that hasn’t taken a side in a conflict since 1815.

An elementary school bombed. A boys’ school. Freshwater desalination plants. Oil refineries blanketed in acid rain.

Today the United States wasted another #1B on an illegal war in Iran, money that could have been spent on funding health care or providing SNAP benefits or cancer research or academic scholarships for minorities. I could go on and on but I think you get my point. #endtheiranwarnow

The bombing of Iranian children is an unforgivable crime America has blood on its hands.

New in PN: The bombing of Iranian children is an unforgivable crime

"American disinterest in the lives of people abroad is a resource politicians use to justify cynical wars. It's hard to see on what moral grounds we claim a right to decide the fate of those about whom we clearly care so little."

Across America, strangers will high-five each other, group chats will erupt, dogs will wag at nothing. In DC, bartenders will ring bells. In Paris, a cigarette is lit. In Canada, someone will apologize for cheering. Democracy will exhale, kick off its shoes, and sits down.

British female athletes forced to pay for sex tests to compete British female track and field athletes are being forced to pay out of pocket for their own sex tests to prove they are not trans or intersex.

Cis women can fail this test.
Numerous studies have proven trans women don't have an unfair advantage.
Genetics affect sporting performance - it's usually people with genetic advantage that win, regardless of gender.
And why aren't the men doing similar tests to prove they're not trans men?

Higher oil prices = Higher everything prices

Trump just found another way to make your life more expensive. For no real reason. While innocent people die.

love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region

YouTube video by WKOW 27 NEWS 'Betrayed': Veterans react to Sen. Johnson's decision to block bill for combat-injured veterans

Another Fascist politician screwed over veterans by blocking a unanimous consent to pass a bill that allowed combat- injured veterans to receive both a full military retirement pay & their VA disability benefits.
Senator Johnson stated that there is no money for both. BSβ€ΌοΈπŸ€¬πŸ€¬
