Great believer in the UK and EU as a part of a strong, friendly alliance, and an opponent of those who try to drive us apart. #FBPE. #rejoin. #ProEU.

Trump’s blatant lawlessness will haunt America and the world β€” and civilization β€” for years to come. It is our sacred duty, to ourselves and future generations, to peacefully and legally put an end to it. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-moral-basis-of-civilization

Blumenthal: "I have emerged from classified briefings deeply concerned and very fearful that we're on the precipice not only of an escalating conflict that in region, but also putting troops on the ground b/c that is almost inevitably the path the admin has chosen by its current tactical approach"

Trump is an insane guy who talked about drapes during a medal of honour ceremony, but hey, let's launch an attack because he had a "feeling". The feeling was probably a full diaper.

If Trump really can’t control Netanyahu, it seems at least feasible that Iran becomes Gaza 2.0, up to & including the hideous pretence that they bomb a land to smithereens to somehow help the people living there.

AOC: This is about actual crimes happening in front of us. This is about shredding the Constitution and plunging us into war. This is about taking crypto money and money laundering… So if you’re asking me if I’d support impeachment, I do

EU scrambles to defend Spain from Trump’s embargo menace President Donald Trump’s threat to cut all ties with Spain after it opposed his war on Iran again puts the bloc’s unity to the test.

🚨🚨Symbolically important that EU countries and EU institutions shore up support for #spain in the context of fear of trade retaliation from the #Trump regime. This should be self-evident but unity of EU here is under pressure. 🧡

People say Farage has charisma. This isn’t charismatic. This is dismissive and rude. It’s a serious question about BNP-style racism within his party. And Farage can’t cope with that kind of scrutiny. So he lashes out.
Under the spotlight, his β€˜charisma’ turns very sour indeed.

Pundits think Democrats will take back the House in November

But folks-I’m telling you now

If we REALLY want to change our government and stop the Trump junta

We need to grab control of the Senate, too

And that starts with Roy Cooper in North Carolina

Game on, people!

Take NOTHING for granted

Sen. Murphy: They told us in there that this is an open-ended operation that hasn't even really started... they refuse to take off of the table the insertion of ground troops ... there is no question that this is war.

Balint to Noem: "You're the secretary of DHS -- for now. And you think you're immune from accountability. But I promise you this: one day he is not gonna be president anymore. And when that day comes, we will still be here. And in hearings like this, we are going to continue to prove your guilt."

Tell Congress: No Unconstitutional War with Iran The president’s reckless decision to bomb Iran without bothering to ask for congressional approval is a clear constitutional violation that puts us all in danger. The time to act is now.

The Constitution makes it clear that only Congress can declare war, but President Trump seems to think that doesn't apply to him.

Tell Congress to stop his unconstitutional war with Iran before more people are killed.

The war they won’t have to fight I know what war does to families. It doesn’t stay β€œover there”; it will be felt here too, for years to come. I don’t know how anyone who claims to love this country can support this

The Green Party has been consistent on our position.

We support the Iranian people in their struggle against the brutal Regime.

And we oppose illegal bombing from the USA and Israel that has already killed countless civilians and risks an all out Regional war.

US troops were told war on Iran was β€˜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 US military commanders have been invoking extremist Christian rhetoric about biblical β€œend times” to justify involvement in the Iran war to troops, according to complaints made to a watchdog group. The Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF) says it has received more than 200 complaints from service members across all branches of the armed forces, including the marines, air force and space force.

It’s time to win the general.

The right wing press lies every. Sometimes they lie directly (see below). But all of the time indirectly, selling a false version of the country, its problems, mangling the truth. They also broadcast and exaggerate the lies of right-wing politicians and propagandists.
