Or we can just support this war and hope that it leads to regime change in both Iran & the U.S.

I support Trump’s war of choice in Iran with the hope that it will lead to regime change in two countries: Iran & the U.S. Epic Fury? More like Epic F-Up.

A lot of us think it would be nice if that was an option but it’s not. It’s directionally correct, however.

I love how all the “f-Russia aid Ukraine” people are all “no regime change in Iran.” Get a coherent world view or go the f home.

Everyone on the left should be cheering for the overthrow of a tyrannical theocracy. Hard stop.

Yes, a damn good one. If you want to debate the WPA we can but I would hope that congress would authorize this type of action against a tyrannical theocracy. With Republicans in power in the congress it’s doubtful.

Simple: Iran has religious fanatic gov’t & enforced by the Iranian Revolution Guard. Its what the christian right is trying to build here, with ICE/DHS as enforcer. We would support any country that came to our aid. The progressive thing to do is support US attacks on Iran.

This is actually a serious question: why did any dem attend this speech? Is there some rule about that?

I’m not watching the State of the Union and it’s unclear why anyone who is not a Trump sycophant is. Norms are gone & the next Dem president won’t have a single Republican in the audience. It’s totally fine.

Keep it simple in 2026: They’re stealing from working Americans and calling it governance. Don’t get distracted.

026 slogan (because it’s true): Stop the steal—of your paycheck, your rent, your future. The chaos is just the getaway car.

If they cared about working Americans, they’d use government to lower costs. Instead, they use government to reward friends and punish enemies.

The chaos is a smokescreen for a transfer of wealth: away from workers, toward donors, cronies, and connected industries.

You don’t need a PhD to see it: your costs go up, their wealth goes up. That’s the whole story.

They’re not “breaking norms” for you. They’re breaking norms so the insiders can cash in while everyone’s distracted.

The simplest definition of corruption: public power used for private gain. That’s what chaos is protecting.

Working Americans get price hikes and higher rent. The insiders get carve-outs, contracts, and tax breaks. That’s the deal.

2026 message, plain English: They’re taking from you and giving it to them. The chaos is the cover.

rump’s incentive is not “make life cheaper.” It’s “keep the chaos going.” Chaos weakens oversight. Oversight is the enemy of grift.

2026 frame: Competence vs. corruption. Affordability is the deliverable. Grift is the obstacle. And distraction is the cover.

rump doesn’t lack power to help working people. He lacks interest. Affordability requires sustained work. He prefers shortcuts, shakedowns, and headlines.

Would love that but it’s a huge agency with other important functions (USCIS & TSA) & I don’t trust these people with a government reorg. Maybe after November.

Per the DHS's guidance, during a "lapse in appropriations" "Planning (such as strategic or business activities)" STOPS! While the ICE/CBP thugs will get paid during a DHS shutdown, the people who plan more "deployments" won't be working. Yes, SHUT IT DOWN. www.dhs.gov/sites/defaul... (page 4)

To any Democratic lawmaker thinking about funding DHS: no funding until reform! No masks! No warrantless entry!

2026 needs a simple message: They can fix costs. They won’t. Not because they’re powerless—but because the chaos is where the money is.
buff.ly/T0OsIEK

Affordability isn’t “unsolvable.” It’s unaddressed. Because fixing it takes focus, competence, and follow-through—and Trump is too busy turning government into a grift machine.

All the wrangling about why 18 New Yorkers died in the cold spell is laughable: it’s because #nyc has a weird libertarian reluctance to force people out of encampments & off the street. Just move them. Save lives. That is called an activist, progressive government. No excuses!

Distraction is governance when you don’t have a plan. It’s also cover when you’re stealing. Two birds, one outrage cycle.

Autocracy and affordability are linked: when democratic accountability erodes, leaders can ignore the cost-of-living crisis forever.

Meant to invoke the most shameful thing that Trump’s ICE has done to date. Hope America saw that.
