So needless. Little schoolgirls.

Oh so this feeling is what I’ve previously only read about in books called “murderous rage”. Now I get it.

a slurring Trump in new video on American troops killed by Iran: “Sadly, there will likely be more before it ends. That's the way it is. Likely be more.“

"That's the way it is," says the five-time draft dodger to our military families who fear their loved one in uniform could be next.

What a disgrace.

Michigan AG calls on ICE to halt plans for Romulus detention center Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel asked U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to halt its plans to use a recently purchased warehouse in Romulus as a detention center with up to 500 beds.

Right now UK is pretty much running the electrical grid on renewables and Nuclear.

i think it's worse than iraq, because i think the bush admin genuinely did think iraq had WMDs, they just pumped up the evidence to fit the theory; trump's not even really pretending to believe iran was a threat

Even the broad goal of “regime change” prompts the question of: “toward what posture?”

Seems to be a longstanding problem, but amplified incredibly by the current administration that no one can really think what strategic goal the use of military force is fulfilling.

Someone wanted another country's oil...just like Venezuela.

This, in particular, makes it scandalous. If there is zero imminent threat, then what is the rationale? Why now? Why Iran specifically? Just because you don’t like them?

‘War of choice’: Trump says Iran was preparing attack but has provided no evidence The administration’s efforts to construct a case for war after shots started flying has few historical parallels.

the reason they haven't shared a justification or a strategy is because there *is* no justification or strategy, but i guess it's kind of noteworthy that even an outlet like politico is starting to be like, "you really can't give us *anything* to run with here?"

this isn't really the huge font headline you want to see when you're launching a war of choice that you can't explain to your allies in congress

As a historian, I'd just like to remind the politicians who follow me that it is not, in fact, 2003 anymore and the current GOP war in the Middle East is not, in fact, even remotely popular.

So if you're a weathervane who just tries to do what's already popular, full-throated opposition is it!

Today should be your 38th birthday.. When you lose your son you lose more than a child you lose a piece of your heart and your joy. Life is forever altered, and nothing can ever fill that space. Yet in my soul, he remains, my precious boy, forever loved. His laughter, his smile, and his love are woven into who I am. My love for him will never fade. Yor are my pride and my joy - you've made a change that cannot be broken..

The question that very easily blows up all this double-talk is: “Would it be an act of war if another country did this to us?” Because OF COURSE it would.

We can debate policy and politics, but there are certain moral absolutes that define our character as a society. Protecting children from exploitation is the baseline, not a subject for negotiation.

U.S. cities step up security measures amid Iran tensions FBI director Kash Patel instructed federal counterterrorism and intelligence to "mobilize all assisting security assets needed."

The “big picture” here, to use Axios lingo, is that for a year team Trump has destroyed important counter-terror tools and diverted counter-terror personnel to immigration enforcement.
And that Patel, Noem, & Gabbard have no qualifications and are riotously incompetent.

So Trump is OK with leaving the current regime in charge of Iran — just like he left the Maduro regime in power in Venezuela.

This is what happens when you elect an ignorant, corrupt vulgarian.

From a strategic standpoint, Trump has no idea what he's trying to do, why he's doing it, let alone how.

He's just pathetic.

Absolutely incredible. Weeks of war without any vote in Congress. And the current regime may largely be left in place. This isn't just a war of choice. It's a vanity war. If this is allowed to stand, our country is in real trouble.

Israel & Saudi Arabia pushed the U.S. to attack Iran.

Netanyahu killed 72,000 people in Gaza, mostly women & children.

Saudi Arabia is a brutal dictatorship that allows no opposition.

These are the leaders who want to bring “freedom” to Iran?

Does anyone really believe that?
