Mike Pence on CNN carrying water for the “we’ve been at war with Iran for 47 years” rationale. And bringing up the Obama/pallets of cash lie! They are all shameless warmongering liars.

And he sounds more constipated than usual

James Talarico tonight:

"It doesn't matter what happens in this Republican runoff. We already know who we're running against: The billionaire mega-donors and their corrupt political system. Not any one politician ... We are running against the broken system and the powerful people who broke it."

I hereby move that we stop paying Congress’ salaries until they start working for us.

He should go to his rich donors for donations to fund his illegal war.

"[It's] very dangerous, but what can we do? We cannot stand against America," said the senior Kurdistan Regional Government official. "We are very frightened."

From CNN who spoke to the Kurds being encouraged to fight against Iran:

US air defenses may not be able to intercept many of Iran’s one-way drones | CNN Politics Trump administration officials told lawmakers during a closed-door briefing on Capitol Hill Tuesday that Iran’s Shahed attack drones represent a major challenge and US air defenses will not be able to...

A sign of the absolute incompetence of the Trump administration: Hegseth and Caine admitting Iranian drones were proving a bigger threat than they anticipated.

Not as if they hadn’t been in active use in Ukraine for years. Too stupid and arrogant to pay attention.

US Marine veteran Brian McGuinness was dragged out of a Senate Armed Services hearing after protesting the illegal US War in the Middle East, he shouted:

"America does not want to fight this war for Israel!"

Pro-Trump / Pro-Israel Sen. Sheehy helps police break the marine's arm.

More of a stalking

Reminder that the US military budget is larger than the military spending of the next nine largest countries combined.

Over half goes to private defense contractors.

This is the military-industrial complex Eisenhower warned of — on steroids.

Wow that seems like news

Meanwhile, the other Republican Senator from Montana is calling it quits on re-election?

And I guarantee you, given a choice, Dems like him will vote yes to war. Gallego said as much yesterday.

I’m absolutely appalled. I can’t wait for 10 years from now when they all admit how wrong they were (if we are all still around then).

They shouldn’t be. It only takes 1 missile to get through.

Oh FFS!

I just can’t with that stupid ogre

House Iran War Powers Resolution Could Lose Support to Competing Bill by Pro-Israel Democrat With Fetterman dooming a Senate bill, a House version of an Iran war powers bill might lose steam to a competitor from Rep. Josh Gottheimer.

The Senate version already failed, with Fetterman once again casting the only Democratic vote against imposing restrictions on Trump’s Iran war.

US troops were told war on Iran was ‘all part of God’s divine plan’, watchdog alleges Religious freedom group says 200 troops sent complaints of superiors using extremist Christian rhetoric to justify war

He's Donald bin Laden.

The White House just posted a video mixing real footage from the Iran strikes with a killstreak animation from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3

Just when I think they can’t be more despicable, depraved & vile, they surprise me again. There is no bottom.

Over 1,000 people are now dead due to this unnecessary & illegal war & they have jokes.

I hate these people at a cellular level

for some context here, the number of americans who disapprove of this war is on par with the number of americans who thought the vietnam was a mistake *during the tet offensive*

“i decided to help out and deescalate the situation”, posted on twitter with a video, just bought this man’s lawyer a new boat

[WARNING: This is a bit graphic.]

A Marine Corps veteran protesting Trump’s War on Iran had his arm broken by Capitol Police and GOP Senator Tim Sheehy. It appears to be a compound fracture.

Different angle, showing the lead-up:

Today in Iran…

Rep. Moskowitz can be seen wearing a "JUSTICE FOR CRICKET" pin as he questions Kristi Noem

My Lord, Fetterman is dumb!

STOP. LISTEN. Seriously.

Maybe we’ve been going about this all wrong. Maybe this has to be dismantled from the bottom up. This rank corruption.

There needs to be a serious IMPEACH NOEM demand. These hearings have made any other choice complicity.

Quite literally “we have always been at war with Iran.”

As a western NCian, I am loving this!

Whoa. Deborah Ross is NOT having it. Good for her.
