It’s almost like Trump planned all this from the very beginning.

Still no censure of Tommy Tuberville, Randy Fine, or Andy Ogles, who are openly promoting hate against Muslims while the US is bombing Iran, killing the Ayatollah, and people like Lindsey Graham are calling it a "religious war" DURING RAMADAN.

How do you think this all ends, folks?

Shame on Senator Tuberville: Keep New York City out of your bigoted mouth.

This Jewish New Yorker is proud that we elected our first Muslim mayor. (2/2)

"Fortunate Son" by CCR was written by John Fogerty in about 20 minutes, fueled by rage over the unfairness of the Vietnam War draft. The song critiques how wealthy, well-connected families used their influence to protect their sons from combat, while working-class young men were sent to fight

Fact check: Trump attended Wharton as an undergrad & got a BS in economics w/ a concentration in real estate in 1968, *not* an MBA or a specialized professional degree.

Academically, it was an undergrad business program housed in Wharton, less selective than Wharton’s programs are now.

This is our country. Donald Trump doesn't own America. He doesn't own the White House. Everything he does relies on our money.

We depend on Congress to represent our interests. They are failing us by allowing him to exploit our money for his personal interests. He & his party of sycophants must go.

To the "I didn't vote for this" folks. You voted for a convicted felon. A twice-impeached president. A man found liable for sexual abuse, who tried to overthrow an election. And now gas prices are surging, we're at war, and soldiers are coming home in coffins. This is what you voted for. All of it.

The GOP resorts to gerrymandering and childish insults because they have no policies to help everyday people. They only help the rich.

Sgt. First Class Cory Hicks recounts the moment a drone struck a U.S. command center in Kuwait and killed several service members:

"I turned to my right, and that's when it blew up and just blew the whole building apart."

The US never learned the lessons that the Vietnam War and Watergate were supposed to teach us. Now we are magnifying those mistakes a hundredfold.

I'm sure these guys will definitely correct Trump when he's popping off about something he knows nothing about because he didn't read the intel.

Just tell the orange buffoon that he bought the wrong f**king size and wear proper sized shoes. I don't vote or support people this stupid. Rubio is pathetic.

Trump is spending $1 BILLION A DAY bombing Iran while Republicans in Congress cut health care at home.

Your boss buys you oversized $145 shoes, do you:

1. Tell him/her they're the wrong size

2. Buy the same shoe for yourself in the right size and just don't say anything

3. Wear oversized shoes all day like a clown

Literal question by the press in the briefing room: The president looks so healthy and young! Did he start exercising more? Did he change his diet?

The "men in sports" is the same thing as "Sharia Law" mentioned by Johnson. They got their assignments this week, roll out the fearmongering and dog whistles for this upcoming election and see what sticks. Thankfully, they can't use... "eating the dogs, eating the cats!"

As an IR professor, it's depressing that this is outperforming all others as the best theory of US foreign policy

Sen. Coons: The clearest winner from this war in Iran is Russia. It's stunning that Trump is on the phone with Vladimir Putin and spending more time consulting with him than he is with Congress and the American people.

This puts me at 10 people released. I filed my 1st habeas petition 29 days ago. I am an incredibly small-time, nobody lawyer who knew nothing about immigration law the day I submitted that case. I barely know any more today. I had never sued the federal government and now I've beaten them 10 times.

Makeup studio, fruit baskets stands, chairs, Noem’s 200 million mile high sex palace, ICE incompetence, Trumps millions spent golfing, & now war-
All reasons why you cannot have affordable healthcare, SNAP, housing, food, insurance, or gas.
FIRE THE GOP.
