Bunch of Senators on both sides sounding the alarm about possible boots on the ground in Iran after their classified briefing today.

I was told Kamala was going to send my children to fight in Iran. What happened?

Legacy media is failing democracy. Rather than just complain, I did something about. Six years ago I started Democracy Docket from scratch. Now it has more than 400,000 subscribers. But to help protect democracy, it needs to grow and scale. Subscribing now. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

I'm sorry, if you're going to make a big show about how you've got a Department of WAR helmed by a Secretary of WAR and staffed by WARfighters, it's totally inane to then claim that your massive bombing of a foreign country constitutes something other than a war.

Christian Nationalist Logic:

"We're gotta waste millions of dollars killing folks in a useless war because Jesus is powerless to just come back himself and start Armageddon if we don't. He needs our help, y'all! Glory!"

Trump and Hegseth both opened the door to boots on the ground in Iran today.

Killing a Dictator Isn’t a Strategy The Iranian regime has killed Americans and fueled chaos across the Middle East for decades. But if the United States is going to war, the American people deserve a clear objective and a plan for what

Iran’s regime has armed terrorists, killed Americans, and fueled wars across the Middle East.

But killing a dictator is not the same thing as having a strategy.

Trump is shifting goals in real time. That’s dangerous when American lives are on the line.

MAGA Military Moms Are All Freaking Out A Little Right Now FAFO.

These posts are clearly from coordinated foreign bots.
Their purpose is to inflame the emotions of Americans so they are more easily distracted and divided.

DOJ's recent 6th Circuit filing misspelled:

Voters as β€œVotors”
Emergency as "Emeregency"
United States as "United Staes"

And, it included a non-party in the caption.
