To be fair, who among us hasn't made plans that snuck up on us unexpectedly, leaving hundreds of people entrusted to our care stranded overseas as bombs rain down on 10 countries, closing airports and sending energy prices soaring worldwide, and instantly destroying billions in market value?

When Republicans actually gave two shits about American citizens. "Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

This is actually a pretty good summary of where we’re at, and how we got here.

"No stupid rules of engagement" means no Geneva Conventions or other international humanitarian laws, which the U.S. signed and supported for more than a century.
Hegseth and Trump are pro-war crimes.

everything theyre saying now they said during iraq

you can have a dinner that celebrates the First Amendment or a dinner that features Donald Trump but you cannot have both

Seems like a thing more people should be mad about

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

So they lied.
People died.

Also apparently the elementary girls school where approx 150 people were massacred was targeted because the Pentagon was using, 'old maps.'

I shit you not.
People should hang for this.
🤬

Football players will pay no taxes in Mississippi on their licensing deals, which can sometimes be very lucrative in the millions. Teachers, cops, firefighters, construction workers - they still have to pay taxes on their income.

The Pentagon is hanging the White House out to dry.

This is going to be hard for some people to accept, but I think the US government is lying to us about the state of negotiations between itself and Iran.

There was no imminent threat. The narrative keeps shifting. The nuclear claims are contradictory. So let’s start there.

As we just saw in the Pentagon press-con, there is no clear strategy.

This bipartisan Iran War Powers Resolution has been sitting with Speaker Johnson since June 2025.

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.

As Kagan notes in her dissent, the Court opted not to hear the due process parental rights argument against bans on gender-affirming medical care in Skrmetti, basically setting up a regime where parents can force their trans children back into the closet but cannot help them out of it

Warner: "There was no imminent threat to the United States by the Iranians. There was a threat to Israel. If we equate a threat to Israel as the equivalent of an imminent threat to the US, then we are in uncharted territory."

WSJ: “.. U.S. officials and lawmakers with access to classified information say the Trump administration’s assertions about threats from Iran are incomplete, unsubstantiated, or flat-out wrong.”

"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.

very telling that trump is willing to sacrifice military personnel to keep Americans from seeing his atrocities in the Epstein files

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

AYMAN: Can you tell me where Iran killed thousands of Americans in America?

ANNA PAULINA LUNA: I said they are responsible for thousands of Americans being killed

AYMAN: Where?

LUNA: Are you serious right now?

AYMAN: It seems like you don't want to have a good faith conversation

Chris Murphy: "It won't be the billionaire children of Donald Trump and his buddies that die. It's going to be the children of middle class and poor families all across this country that are gonna die for a war of choice, a war of vanity, an illegal war."

USA: In den Epstein-Akten fehlen Aussagen, die Trump belasten könnten Rechercheure vermissen in den Akten Interviews mit mutmaßlichen Zeuginnen. Abgeordnete sprechen von einer Vertuschungsaktion, um Trump zu schützen.

Several reviews of the Epstein documents identify conclusively that DOJ systematically removed 53 pages containing notes of FBI interviews of victims in which the conduct of Donald Trump is specifically discussed. The DOJ is not denying that it did this, nor is it offering an explanation.

They always have trillions of dollars for illegal wars in the Mideast, but SCOFF in your face and clutch their pearls when you ask for universal healthcare. You are all being played.

Sen Chris Murphy (D-CT) to Face the Nation:

“I don't have any obligation to fund a Department of Homeland Security that is violating the law every day, just like I don't have any obligation to support this war that is illegal as well.”

The costs of this Iran war debacle will likely be more than the cost of extending the ACA health insurance subsidies.

If you asked Americans, which do you want: another war in the Middle East or lower health care costs at home, is the margin 90 to 10? 95 to 5?

I genuinely cannot get over him launching a war from his house in Palm Beach.
