Why are no headlines focusing on the unconstitutional and dictatorial nature of this action?

The American people were lied to about Vietnam, with tragic consequences.

The American people were lied to about Iraq, with tragic consequences.

The American people are being lied to again today. We cannot allow history to repeat itself.

I wonder if Tulsi remembered to burn this shirt . . .

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:

1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long

All lies.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.

Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they? Hello?

Analysis: US strikes mark a stunning demonstration of military might and presidential power

I was thinking that maybe, more than 20 years after the start of the Iraq war, media coverage would be more skeptical and less sycophantic

No such luck

Congress? You awake?

The “No Kings” protest was a powerful showing of hope and mobilization against President Trump’s attacks on democracy. @jimacosta.bsky.social explains in conversation with Sen. @dougjones.bsky.social:

YouTube video by The Bulwark New footage: Padilla thrown to floor and cuffed at Kristi Noem presser

VIDEO: Here is the Regime treating a duly elected U.S. Senator like a farm animal because he had the temerity to ask questions of Kristi Noem.

Fascism is here. The jackboot of Big Government is pressing down on all our faces, and the only question is what we do next.

Happy Pride Month!

Someone tell DOGE! Brutal photo by huff post i love it

The CDC Buried a Measles Forecast That Stressed the Need for Vaccinations The move — along with the CDC’s explanation — is a sign that the nation’s top public health agency may be falling in line under HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a longtime critic of vaccines.

RFK takes the CDC another step down the road to full-on anti-vax dangerousness. New from @propublica.org

Pete is right, as usual.

These people cannot keep America safe.

I’m embarrassed to be an American now more than ever.

Any member of the military who did what they did on signal would be kicked out or arrested.

so telling that Hesgeth’s reflexive reaction was to trash Goldberg as

“deceitful and highly discredited so-called journalist who’s made a profession of peddling hoaxes. This is a guy that peddles in garbage. This is what he does.”

That’s what happens when you get a Fox News guy at Sec DoD

I would like to nominate Maxwell Smart for national security advisor.

Goldberg indicates Hegseth lied when he denied texting war plans

Goldberg said the level of detail in the targeting package that he received via Signal was down to the *names of individuals* to be killed.

That’s the good stuff that includes all kinds of sources and methods and never should have been outside a SCIF.

I’d be in prison if I fucked up that bad.

I’m old enough to remember when Secretary Hegseth tried to publicly mock Judge Reyes—suggesting that she didn’t know what she was doing when it comes to protecting our national security.

It was … two days ago.

Today, I am calling on Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and other top officials in the Trump administration to resign immediately due to their reckless and unlawful disclosure of national security secrets. Their actions have put our country at risk, and immediate accountability is necessary

We all knew Pete Hegseth would screw up royally. We just didn’t think he’d do it this fast.

At capacity auditorium

Showed up early to do some reporting in Glens Falls, NY—an Adirondack town in Trump territory—at en “empty chair” town hall for their GOP Rep Elise Stefanik, and it’s already standing room only with more people on the street.

Did your senator(s) vote to confirm Hegseth? Now is your chance to call them and remind them you were going to hold them Directly Accountable when it went wrong. And it just went way wrong.
