Live updates: Trump vows to 'avenge' the deaths of U.S. service members, says combat operations continue Follow the latest news after the U.S. and Israel launched a massive attack on Iran that killed Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

There would be no need to "avenge the deaths," of these brave service members if you didn't start your 'War of Choice.' Every flag draped casket returning to these shores is American blood of your hands, Trump.

Alex Pretti’s mom shared this on what would’ve been her son’s 38th birthday today: β€œmy love for him will never fade. You’ve made a change that cannot be broken.”

We won’t forget Alex, and we will never stop fighting for justice for him and all the other lives taken or harmed by ICE’s actions.

Protesters in Loop condemn U.S. attack on Iran: 'War is not the solution'

Dozens of people marched Saturday evening from Federal Plaza to Trump Tower after at least 200 people were killed in U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran, according to reports. Earlier in the day, demonstrators who supported the strikes carried pre-revolution Iranian flags at a rally in Daley Plaza.

It would be a much better timeline if the US president didn't start a war to distract from child rape allegations in the Epstein files

Look what Roger Romanelli, the guy who helped kill the City's Ashland BRT proposal, and his NIMBY posse are up to now. They're protesting the Grand Safe Streets project in West Town on 3/5, 5 PM at Grand/Noble. πŸ™„

acting on aipac/israeli orders is a bad look for any President. in Trump party the corruption is so bone deep now that there are zero brakes anywhere with them. party is completely rolled over for madmans whims.

I am not among that 21%. No attack should have been made. Killing children in a school during Ramadan makes it that much worse.

NEW: New York resident Marc Safman voted in every election for 38 years β€” until 2025.

Like roughly a quarter of Americans with disabilities, he faced barriers that kept him from casting a ballot. Now, the GOP’s SAVE America Act could further complicate voting access. https://bit.ly/4aPpoU1

The President has launched our nation and our great military into a war of choice, risking American lives and resources, ignoring American law, and endangering our allies and partners. It does nothing to help with the urgent problems here at home that Americans face every day.

In 2013 he warned that attacking Syria without Congressional approval would be a big mistake. In 2026 he launches major operations without laying out a clear mandate. Principles shouldn’t expire when power changes hands. War powers aren’t optional depending on who sits in the Oval Office.

This stunt where ICE releases people far from home with no proper clothing and no way home should be treated as attempted homicide. In this case, actual homicide. These cases are not accidental or based on misunderstandings. They are deliberate attempts to inflict bodily harm.
