The death of Ali Khamenei is a defining moment in Iran's history.

What comes next is uncertain. But there is now an open path to a different Iran, one that its people may have greater freedom to shape.
I'm in contact with partners, including those in the region that bear the brunt of Iran's military actions, to find practical steps for de-escalation.

With all due respect - seeing this as path to a β€œdifferent Iran” is lacking education on the role of IRGC in Iran and the fact that the entire system depends on it. Removing supreme leader doesn’t cause this kind of systemic collapse as much one would wish it would.

I hope you aren’t drunk and took your staff’s advice, Rashida and I don’t know this man and feel confident he didn’t care about us. Please restrain from drinking too much as you have been warned from your staff and stay off social media when you are drunk. I pray in his holy month you find peace and respect for your self,

John Fetterman 2022 voters,

Just curious. When we said Conor Lamb was the better choice and warned that Fetterman was problematic, including the incident where he chased an innocent Black man while armed with a rifle, did you not see our warnings, or did you just not care?

Is this really where we are? A sitting member of Congress going after fellow members like this is wild.

The fake sympathy paired with a swipe at two Muslim colleagues is straight-up Islamophobic garbage.

The Texas Democratic Senate primary is coming down to the wire between Crockett and Talarico. It’s a real debate over strategy, electability, and what kind of Democrat can actually compete statewide in Texas.

A sobering read of how both sides struggle to hold the rich and powerful accountable.

This isn’t simply about getting justice for the survivors anymore.

I would argue it’s also about salvaging our broken republic.

It’s about returning our government back to the people.
