It's the Israeli's (specifically Bibi and Likud, not all Israelis by any means) and their Sunni allies.

Trump's war on elections is hiding in plain sight False claims that foreign government interference caused him to lose in 2020 have been a staple of the diet of lies Trump feeds to his faithful.

Donald Trump is seeking to collect massive amounts of information β€” including personal and partisan voter data β€” at an unprecedented scale. He is trying to pressure AI companies into allowing unrestricted use of their powerful tools against American citizens. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...

There are many different motives among the most eager to attack Iranβ€”bloodlust, Biblical end times, MAGA Bro swagger, etc. The stench of β€œour friends the Saudis” & MbS’s paid pawn Prince Jared is vile.
Trump surely shares some of the same motives but who doubts that distraction is primary for him?

MAGA & Project 2025 is not a cycle- it’s a fascist theocratic coup. We are going to have to fight to get rid of the fascists as they will not leave otherwise.

Donald Trump just started a war and is plotting to steal the 2026 election. Meanwhile, his buddy David Ellison just won control of CNN.

Very disappointed to learn after a trip to the grocery store that bombing Iran did not lower any of the prices.

A photo of Donald Trump delivering the State of the Union address at the Capitol on Feb. 24, 2026, in Washington, D.C., overlaid with the headline, "Fool Me Twice: The Case for War With Iran Is Even Thinner Than It Was for Iraq," and the DEK, "The case for invading Iraq was based on lies. The Trump administration’s case for war with Iran hardly exists at all."

The campaign of airstrikes came only hours after the United States insisted it wanted to have a civil diplomatic conversation. interc.pt/4clw11k

The congressional switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. Put it in your cell phone. Use it. If you're not calling at least once a week, you're not doing your part.
