And what is a little nuclear war when one, like Hegseth, believes in the End Times crap?

Anyone else have the feeling that the US is headed for a big embarrassment with the Iran situation?

If things tilt too far, Trump won't give up. He'd rather take the whole world down with him than suffer humiliation.

Oh.

“We have agreed” — how nice of them! Surely they’re doing this work pro bono right?

Kelly: "You could pick a random group of people off the street tonight here in DC and they could probably do a better job than our government is doing right now. They don't have a goal, there's no strategic plan. And what this is likely to lead to is, again, a long war with a lot of dead Americans."

KLOBUCHAR: Alex Pretti's parents said what you said was one of the most hurtful things they could imagine. Do you want to say anything to Alex's parents?

NOEM: I did not call him a 'domestic terrorist.' I said it 'appeared to be an incident of'

KLOBUCHAR: I think the parents saw it for what it was

Maybe it’s a bad idea to put people in charge of government who are eager for the rapture.

Chris Murphy: "It's just so disgusting to listen to the president be waxing poetically about the drapes he's buying while there are six Americans who are dead. There are six families who are about to bury their children because of a war of choice that no one in this country wanted, an illegal war."

Jasmine Crockett isn’t mincing words!

Families aren’t enemies!
Seeking safety isn’t a crime!

Masked raids & fear tactics aren’t “law and order”. They’re cruelty dressed as policy!

Justice isn’t terrorizing communities!

Human rights don’t stop at the border!

Yeah, they’re really going to be for women’s rights in Iran.

Yeah, the gap in their recounting of history is serious, but their speaking out today against the current and increasing number of internment camps for immigrant families is welcomed and much needed.

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?

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.
