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.

So far we’ve heard 12 different primary reasons for the war, 7 different main objectives, and 5 different exit strategies.

The defense budget is out of control, and Donald trump seems to he able to borrow from it at will. With the amount of debt this administration has added to our economy, we have NO CHOICE but to cut the defense budget & start living within our means. This necessitates cuts to defense over spending.

Deficit Fears Have Deep History in Corporate-Funded Democratic Party Groups As corporate-backed Democrats threaten to block the party's reconciliation bill, their talking points draw on support from deficit scold allies among party leaders and well-funded ideological groups.

How come, 'How will you pay for it?' is never asked about war?

There's an answer for that! The conservative Blue Dog Coalition opposes efforts by progressives to trim the Pentagon budget by 10%. They are backed by corporate and dark money, as are other centrist groups opposing the measures.

Folks who know will be unsurprised to learn that Tom Cotton is on the Sunday news shows crowing about how Trump is bringing peace and prosperity to Iran, in defiance of all rational understanding of what's actually about to happen. #arpx

Arkansas Republicans are lining up to defend Trump's illegal war against Iran by claiming it's necessary to eliminate Iran's nuclear program - that we supposedly destroyed last June. So, were they bullshitting us then, or are they bullshitting us now?

A gunman killed two people at a bar in Texas early Sunday in a mass shooting that left 14 others wounded, he was wearing a sweatshirt that said β€œProperty of Allah,” and another shirt with an Iranian flag design. It's under investigation as a potential act of terrorism.

Two days into Trump's war and we now have FOUR dead Americans plus this AM three US fighter jets shot out of the air in Kuwait because of "friendly fire." (Crews survived) This is what happens when an incompetent, corrupt regime heads the USA

I put trees in buckets for up to 3 yrs.

This Sunday reminder is for every gardener out there 🌱

You don't need a big yard.
You don't need experience.
You don't need a big budget.

You just need to START. 🌿

One seed. One pot. One sunny spot.

That's all it takes. β˜€οΈ
