Just thinking about what we could do with a billion dollars a day that doesn’t include bombing people.

Jeffries: "Article 1 of the Constitution provides Congress with the sole authority to declare war. Framers made that decision b/c they were concerned about kings plunging their people into unnecessary wars to pillage resources of others for the benefit of a tyrant and his family. Sound familiar?"

Spain to Trump: "Spain opposes this catastrophe … governments are there to improve people's lives … not to worsen them .. it is absolutely unacceptable that leaders who are incapable of fulfilling this task use the smokescreen of war to mask their incompetence $ line the pockets of a select few."

So if Kamala Harris had been elected do you think the United States would be in a war with Iran? Just asking...

I don't know who needs to hear this, but South Koreans took 6 hours to stop their insurrection, 10 days to impeach the president behind it, and just 6 weeks to convict him.

He was sentenced to life in prison 2 weeks ago. Their country's stock market shot up 10%.

Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro SΓ‘nchez on Iran:

β€œRemember that one can be against a hateful regime, as is the case with the Iranian regime, as is the whole of Spanish society, and at the same time be against an unjustified, dangerous military intervention outside of international law.”

Can't wait until the USA finally invades the USA to depose their autocrat and eliminate its regime of incompetent, bigoted and murderous government officials.

Donald Trump is dragging the United States into a war the American people do not want. Let me be clear: I am opposed to a regime-change war in Iran, and our troops are being put in harm’s way for the sake of Trump’s war of choice.

Just want to make sure: Only people NOT mentioned in the Epstein files will be forced to testify, right?

Sen. @gallegoforarizona.com: Princes, CEOs, the most powerful men in the world are being held accountable everywhere except for the US. What Republicans are proving right now, with the help of Trump, is that if you are part of the Epstein class, you can get away with terrible things

The three people most mentioned in the Epstein files are Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and Donald Trump.

One of them died in prison, one of them is in prison now, and one of them is president.

But sure, let’s depose Hillary Clinton.

The callous disregard for life by these lawless thugs is beyond the pale.

It needs to stop. And those involved must face accountability.

It is sickening. 😑

The Perfect Storm When warnings are everywhere, and still no one moves

Now, as Trump and MAGA test the limits of our democracy, history is beginning to rhyme.

Adolf Hitler's rise to power was marked by early warning signs that went ignored. Politicians dismissed the alarm bells and institutions believed the system would restrain what was coming. History shows clearly just how wrong those assumptions were.
