Spanish PM SΓ‘nchez responds to Trump:

"Spain is against this disaster... Govts are here to improve people's lives... It is absolutely unacceptable that those leaders who are unable to fulfill that mission use the smoke of war to hide their failure, and in the process, fill the pockets of a few."

We need to pass a House rule or law that requires them to work a certain number of days to get paid. Since Mike Johnson took over these people hardly ever work. When they finally come back after weeks off they work 2 days and he sends them home for 2 more weeks. It’s ridiculous.

Trump's Unauthorized Strikes on Iran Take America's Imperial Presidency to New Heights Khamenei's departure is nothing to mourn but regime change might require more than air strikes

β€œIn no part of the constitution is more wisdom to be found than in the clause which confides the question of war or peace to the legislature, and not to the executive...[T]he trust and the temptation would be too great for any one man."

Good morning and happy Wednesday to everyone. The craziest part about them saying Donald Trump is β€œanointed by god” is that Donald Trump raped kids with Jeffrey Epstein.

Canada PM Mark Carney says the US and Israel war on Iran is failure of the international order.

"The current conflict is another example of the failure of the international order." "The US and Israel have acted without engaging the United Nations or consulting allies, including Canada."

Some say that Crenshaw’s opponent who defeated him is worse. That may be true. But Crenshaw voted with Trump 100% of the time and was an insufferable, smug, arrogant dick whose unhinged, drunken late-night Twitter feuds showed he needs counseling more than a seat in the House.

They claim to have been planning this for months, to allegedly keep Americans safe, but had no plan to evacuate any Americans from the region because it happened too quickly.

Weird.

Mexico's President Sheinbaum opposes US and Israel illegal war; "The UN has stopped fulfilling its role ... Countries with greater military power prevail, that cannot be." "It's not about who opposes or supports a regime; it's about civilians who pay for it, the bombing of a school full of girls."

Anyone can be Speaker of the House, right? So if James Talarico wins the Texas primary, perhaps Jasmine Crockett would be available to take that job.

While the McDonald’s CEO gets roasted for his awkward burger taste test...

McDonald’s is among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.

And McDonald's CEO recently raked in $18.2M β€” over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.

That should leave a bad taste in your mouth.

Boots on the ground.

A reminder that him & Netanyahu will not send their sons, but they expect your sons and daughters to go die for them so they can stay out of prison. Are we great yet?πŸ€”
