Trump releases a statement saying he is sending Americans to war with Iran because “Iran tried to interfere in 2020, 2024 elections to stop Trump.”

Draft-dodging chicken-hawks love to talk tough (from their fancy, gold-plated beach resorts). But they have NO CLUE what war is really about.

We need a War Powers vote NOW.

You deserve to know who wants to send your kids to war to fight for Trump's lies.

The people leading the U.S. war on Iran are a former “Fox & Friends” guest and a former “Fox & Friends” host.

Who is this for? Who actually believes this?

In 1973, a veto-proof majority of Congress took the position that POTUS’s constitutional powers to use military force are limited to:

1) declaration of war

Years ago I was talking with a Drift adjacent person at a party, and she kept dismissing everything, including Killers of the Flower Moon, as "middlebrow shit for moms." Of course, she loved the Sweet East

I interviewed Sean Price Williams, he's a really nice guy and he's an incredible DP, but god was that movie so boundlessly self-satisfied with its own superficiality—sound familiar?

Looking back, The Sweet East was probably the most prescient and thus the stupidest movie of the 2020s
