What Does War with Iran Have to Do with Elections? The administration is sending alarming signals about the midterms.

Governments often misuse the anxiety caused by war to achieve other goals at home. We must ensure that the new conflict with Iran isn't used as an excuse to meddle with the midterms. bit.ly/40IBng0

Trump has launched a war in the Middle East without our consent, without a plan, without a strategy, and without any clear idea about where it leads or how it ends.

"Our once great ally" 🤔🤨

Problem solved!

It's not a war, but if it is don't worry we already won it

There's a lot going on in the world right now, but there is NO reason to not make daylight saving time permanent.

Congress should pass my bill to finally lock the clock.

Trump now blocking terror threat warnings because it makes him look bad.

“They don’t want anything getting out that says what they’re doing in Iran is raising the threat level at home.”

Caitlin KALINOWSKI over X I resigned from OpenAl. I care deeply about the Robotics team and the work we built together. This wasn't an easy call. Al has an important role in national security. But surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got. This was about principle, not people. I have deep respect for Sam and the team, and I'm proud of what we built together.
