National Democrats - ignore Texas at your peril. As @betoorourke.bsky.social has stated repeatedly, this is our moment to flip Texas and preserve democracy for the country. If we lose, they will make sure we never gave a fair election.

Just keep driving.

I was an American hostage in Iran for 444 days. Trump's war is absolutely moronic Barry Rosen and John Limbert were among 52 people held at the US embassy in Tehran from November 1979 to January 1981

Any other President would have known this because they had trusted advisers who had the ability to tell them the truth and pushback.
The Regime has endangered us from day one.

Trump’s ever-changing rationale for war on Iran – how the story has shifted Regime change, nuclear threat – or something else? US officials seem unable to land on one coherent reason for war

A glimpse of Iran, through the eyes of its artists and journalists Understanding one of the world's oldest civilizations can't be achieved through a single film or book. But recent works of literature, journalism, music and film by Iranians are a powerful starting point.

We need accountability.

Instead of spending $50 billion to bankroll Trump’s criminal war on Iran, we could:

-Extend ACA subsidies for one year
-Restore SNAP benefits for 2.4 million people
-And ensure Medicaid coverage for nearly 2 million people
