The U.S. Senate must be clear: no war with Iran.

It’s time for Congress to act against this lawless Administration. I am proud to be a cosponsor of a bipartisan War Powers Resolution affirming that *only* Congress can authorize a war against Iran. It’s time to act and stop this unauthorized and dangerous action in the Middle East. Full stop.

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1.5 trillion.

Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.

Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits.

The military industrial complex is cheering today.

Not to discount the impact of air strikes by Obama, starting wars is a Republican thing!

Democrats should say that Trump’s attacks on Iran are unconstitutional.

The American people do not want a war in Iran. The Congress did not authorize a war in Iran. It is an entirely illegitimate action that has no legal or constitutional basis. It is the act of a lawless regime.

By the way, speaking of Obama's tan suit, not a goddamn peep that Trump announced a war while wearing a baseball cap (and no tie).

Because only the black guy is held to the standards of dress by Republicans.

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.

I’ve probably talked to tens of thousands of voters in my career and tbh I don’t think there is a single voter in America that thinks the government is in the right here.

This simply isn’t a position that has a constituency.

Hegseth just shot down a DHS drone with a laser because he thought it belonged to a Mexican cartel, but let’s let him preside over a radical shift to unrestrained AI on our most advanced weapons systems. What could go wrong?

Still, nobody on the right will care about the contradiction. They will only care how it effects their bank account. And it will.

This you, Donald?

"Our president will start a war w/Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate. He’s weak and he’s ineffective. So the only way he figures that he’s going to get re-elected, and as sure as you're sitting there, is to start a war w/Iran." β€” DJT, Nov. 2011

Polish Foreign Minister Sikorski:

I suspect Trump thought if there were no further supplemental package, Ukraine would find itself in difficulty much faster, & the war might therefore be brought to an end because Ukraine would be forced into concessions.

"Operation Epic Stupidity" has begun. The right-wing-media is getting inline to support the attacks. Even MS-Now is acting like this is normal. All major U.S. media outlets are begging to lick the Orange Mad Man's rear.

Nobody wants big data centers in their neighborhood. Nobody wants concentration camps in their neighborhood, either. What’s a big resource-sucking company to do??

This is also a list ditch effort to save the economy from tariff damage by pumping up war spending!

LANDERS: β€œAre you considering a national emergency around the midterm elections?”

TRUMP: β€œWho told you that?”

LANDERS: β€œThere’s been reporting that there’s an executive order.”

TRUMP: β€œI’ve never heard about it.” 🀷🏼

(Just like he never heard about Project 2025, etc… πŸ€₯)

New Mexico isn’t waiting for the Trump DOJ to do justice for the victims/survivors of Jeffrey Epstein.

Courtesy of @repromero.bsky.social, the Epstein Truth Commission has launched & the AG has reopened criminal investigations.
