They call the Department of Defense the Department of War, but then say their war isn’t a war because it’s preemptively defensive.

BREAKING: The Texas Secretary of State DID NOT UPDATE the precinct maps on their website last December. MY GOD @msnowreports.bsky.social

They cut Meals on Wheels for seniors, doctors for the VA, and food for American children - but send billions of taxpayer dollars to the Middle East for an unnecessary war of choice.

What's shameful is: Speaker Johnson is not loyal to the constitution of the United States. He should be investigated for falsely swearing his oath of office

A democratic candidate just won in the *checks notes*

BREAKING: Our client Mahmoud Khalil is appealing an immigration judge’s ruling that says the Trump administration can re-detain and deport him.

This judge’s order was baseless and retaliatory, and must be reversed before Mahmoud’s rights are violated again.

NOW: Protesters rally outside the White House chanting, “We won’t pay for war and slaughter!” This marks the third day in a row of protests against the US-Israeli war on Iran. #trump #politics #currentevents #news #military #war #iran

two social media posts, one after the other. The first is about the death of the Iranian girls, the next is about Trump saying that he is defending American children

Well, we did it because of the protesters

Nukes

I mean they’re building an ICBM

We did it defensively because Iran was going to attack us

I mean Israel was gonna do it anyway so we did it too

They were gonna attack us because Israel was gonna attack them so we attacked them

The glibness. The indifference. The carelessness. The utter lack of planning for a war against a country of 90M. The sickness of a man who acts on whim that will kill thousands not hundreds. The horror of a regime that enables this sickness. The broken body politic that votes in such malignancy.

Chris Murphy: "It's just so disgusting to listen to the president be waxing poetically about the drapes he's buying while there are six Americans who are dead. There are six families who are about to bury their children because of a war of choice that no one in this country wanted, an illegal war."

Just in case they are looking to see public response.

I am against war. I am against collaborating with warmongers. I'm against war crimes and the massacre of children. Of anyone.

War is monstrous.

What is being done cannot be justified. I am ashamed of and disgusted by the horror we unleash.

Ossoff: "The president owes Americans a real explanation. 2am posts on Truth Social just aren't good enough when you're sending Americans into combat. He was dancing at his beach club the same night he ordered air crews to launch into combat & hours before our service members endured missile salvos"

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.

Reminder that Congress has the power to stop this.

If Trump is so intent on destroying Iran, he should go be its president for a month.

They'll never know what hit them.

Jeffries: "The American people want us to focus on making their life better & more affordable, not getting involved in another endless war in Middle East that's going to end in failure. This administration somehow found billions for bombs, but can't find money to bring down the high cost of living"

#WomensHistoryMonth is amazing and a chance to look wistfully on how these two would have made fine presidents.

Agreed. And, we need a wall big enough for his co-conspirators, accomplices, enablers...

US moving pregnant immigrant girls to Texas to avoid providing abortions, critics say Ex-official calls transfer of unaccompanied girls as young as 13, many pregnant due to rape, a human rights violation

“It’s a choice to ensure zero abortions."
Since July, more than a dozen pregnant children have been moved to a single facility in the small town of San Benito, along the south Texas border. The children kept in Texas are as young as 13, and about half are pregnant because of rape.

911 calls capture kids burning with fever, struggling to breathe at ICE detention center — NBC News EMS crews were called to the Dilley Immigration Processing Center in Texas at least 11 times since September for children in medical distress, records show.
