Trump and Netanyahu are determined to completely break the world.

Just as Iraq had no WMD, Iran has no nuclear weapons.

America has entered another unnecessary war in the Middle East

JUST NOW: Bernie tells the crowd about Trump attacking Iran, the crowd erupts into β€œNO MORE WAR!” chants

Bernie calls the attack β€œgrossly unconstitutional”

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.

So Gabbard and Ratcliffe purjured themselves yesterday, right?

Shout out to Jeffrey Goldberg for reporting on this now instead of waiting two years to put it in a book.

my takeaway from reading this is that i have to assume that every half-competent intelligence agency in the world has an almost real-time glimpse into what the white house and the pentagon are doing

Columbia Concedes to Trump’s Demands After Federal Funds Are Stripped The administration has moved to cut $400 million in federal funding to the university without changes to its policies and rules.

Columbia University has failed to defend academic freedom & freedom of speech & allowed a great institution to be bullied & extorted into submission by an administration hellbent on contorting higher education to their will.

The AAUP condemns this capitulation. We can & must fight back.

This is an abject failure on the part of Columbia’s leadership to defend academic freedom and institutional integrity. It should lead to resignations.

We are in a very dangerous place. With more shameful moments to come.

The media can (and should) reject the Right's deceptive frame. This is not about "references to diversity, equity, and inclusion."

It is a neosegregationist attempt to erase everyone but white males from the nation's history.

I’m not sure that the Trump Democrats strategy of letting the bully take their lunch money today in the hopes the bully will be nice to them tomorrow will be all that effective

Yes, Jackson has always been a model for Trump. And now he wants his own Trail of Tears.

Opinion | There Is No Going Back The president’s opponents, whoever they are, cannot expect a return to the Constitution as it was.

Yeah so the Constitution isn’t really in effect right now
