He seems pretty sensitive whenever someone confronts him with evidence that Putin might not be our friend. Even when Fox brings it up.

Putin: "I'm giving Iran military intelligence so they can target U.S. troops. Is that okay with you, bitch?"

This is not good.

So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.

That's roughly $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

People do not want this.

They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

I continue to be gobsmacked at 1) how common this formulation is 2) how antisemitic and generally bigoted it is 3) and how for all the talk of anti-semitism this is never cited as an example even though it’s quite literally the original incarnation.

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.

But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

Jasmine Crockett's concession announcement along with her support of James Talarico.

Excellent statement from Jasmine Crockett.

It's not an easy thing to pour your heart into an election and then come up short.

Some candidates need weeks to gather themselves and announce their support for the person they lost to.

But she wasted no time.

Why?

Because she knows what is at stake.

Raskin tears Kristi Noem a new one: "Apparently when your blankie was left on one of the govt jets and not transported to the new one, your special govt employee, Corey Lewandowski, chivalrously stepped forward to fight the pilot -- mid air!"

ICYMI — Trump forgot where his father was born. Cant wait to read @jaketapper’s book about this

Wholly unholy a-holy.

Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks.

They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors.

Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption.

Watch how they vote this week.

Republicans have caused total chaos in Dallas County. It's instructive.

Whether or not Trump attempts some sort of executive order to nationalize election administration, Republicans have an endless number of paths to create absolute mayhem in November.

This surveillance can happen through all sorts of apps, such as video games, news apps, weather trackers, and dating apps.

The vote on Rep. Massie and my WPR comes down to this. Are you with Lindsey Graham who was for the regime change war in Iraq, Libya and now Iran, or are you with those Americans who are tired of being dragged into wars in the Middle East and want us to focus on jobs and healthcare at home?

A country that can instantly fund endless wars but debates every dime for healthcare and education doesn’t have a budget issue—it has a values issue.

The Hennepin County Attorney's Office should be investigating actions by Hennepin County Sheriff's deputies this past weekend at Whipple.

Oh, the bravery of someone who decided not to seek re-election.

🤥 @KristiNoem today: “I didn’t call Alex Pretti a domestic terrorist.”

FLASHBACK: she sure did 👇🏽

Gas prices are going up, 401(k)s are going down. Thanks, Trump. #Iran

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.

We mustn’t let this war do so.

@governorwalz.mn.gov Today's video from Whipple sure looks like the State Patrol and Hennepin County sheriff's deputies are ICE auxiliaries now. Who protects the people of Minnesota now?

Trump has a plan: Jared Kushner to be appointed Viceroy of Iran.

Rep Jason Crow (D-CO): “I went to war three times for this country and learned that when elites in Washington bang the war drums, working class folks pay the price. The tough talk of a five-time draft dodger falls flat for Americans tired of military adventurism”

🎯🎯

Is Barron reporting to a recruiting office this morning? #Iran

“Some of you may die, but it’s a sacrifice I am willing to make.”

Trump said he could end the Ukraine war in 24 hours. He had no plan.

Trump said he could deliver better and cheaper healthcare. He had no plan.

Trump said he he would rebuild US infrastructure. He had no plan.

Trump has no plan for Iran. Just blow shit up, kill some people, and see what happens.
