If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:
1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long
All lies.

And just like that, the ‘No New Wars’ people are all-in on a new war. Proving yet again that they really believe in nothing other than what one man tells them to believe today. Which could be different tomorrow. The very definition of a cult.

We have a madman in the White House who is actively trying to trigger total war.
If Jeffries, Schumer, or any other Democratic leaders try to justify this, shrug indifferently, or write a strongly-worded letter and call it a day, they need to step down or be aggressively primaried.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

This is Hitler-type talk. The continual demonization of Democrats, liberals & progressives. It is HATE speak. It promotes violence towards those who are not MAGA. How many assassins will he create with his language? How far will he (& his cult) go with his hate-filled presidency?

Listen to him, he’s been warning us for years. We now have a POTUS going to war against his own country, while our foreign adversaries are watching. And waiting.
Get out and join a protest tomorrow. We MUST not go down in our own apathy, everyone WILL be impacted eventually.

Marine veterans are speaking out against the troop deployment in Los Angeles. Across the country, they’re taking down their American flags that have flown in front of their homes for years. Remember, we have friends everywhere.

Republicans BURIED a line in their bill that would help Trump officials ignore court orders.
Republicans BURIED a line in their "big beautiful bill" that would help Trump officials ignore court orders.
One problem? It violates the Senate's rules.
I’m going to fight to strip this provision out. And we need everyone in the fight against this bill.

The folks hollering about “family values” are out here tearing families apart with unlawful ICE raids, militarized police, & the weaponization of government.
All while ripping away food & healthcare from working-class families.
Are the family values in the room with us?

This all goes back to Rush Limbaugh and FoxNews. They brought hate to millions of listeners and viewers. They divided us with lies and conspiracy theories. Why? For money. Trump just took what they started and stoked the flames. Now, we are losing our democracy to a tyrant.

We have a POTUS who is going to war against our own citizens. While he allows our foreign adversary to kill thousands of innocents in Ukraine.
He is pure evil. He is inhumane.
And many around him are the same.
I truly fear how far he will go.
We are quickly becoming a dictatorship.

Under Pete Hegseth, Chaos Prevails at the Pentagon
The defense secretary’s inner circle is in disarray, and distrust is growing among civil servants and senior military officials.
In just three months in office, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has produced a run of chaos that is unmatched in the Pentagon's recent history. His inner circle — military veterans who, like him, had little experience running large, complex organizations — is in shambles.

Info Pete Hegseth shared with wife, brother came from top general's secure messages
Hegseth has denied the information he shared was classified, but it was given to him on a system for sensitive and classified information, sources told NBC News.
NBC has confirmed what we have been saying for weeks. Hegseth clearly copied classified strike schedules from a secure device to his personal phones. This alone would get a line service member thrown in prison. But when it’s SecDef we are supposed to ignore it.

New images could change cancer diagnostics, but ICE detained the Harvard scientist who analyzes them
Without scientist Kseniia Petrova’s expertise, no one can fully unlock the data’s potential, putting crucial advancements in early cancer detection at risk.
Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago:
—Pioneering cancer researcher;
—*Arrested* at airport in Boston;
—Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana;
—"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research.
Read it.

Kilmer Abrego Garcia was living legally here under a court issued Withdrawal of Removal. This is because he testified against the gangs & had credible threats against him. Then the US put him in a prison w those criminals.
He may already have been killed. Unconscionable.

What’s to stop Trump from kidnapping US citizens off the streets and sending them to El Salvador’s death camps? Is this how he will silence his dissenters? Just make them disappear? We are at the fork in the road. How many of you will stand up to a sadistic dictatorship? We must.

Remember the guy, an American citizen, who attacked Paul Pelosi with a hammer? According to Trump, we should be sending him to an El Salvador prison. 🤔

From the U.S. Holocaust Museum:
"What distinguishes a concentration camp from a prison (in the modern sense) is that it functions outside of a judicial system. The prisoners are not indicted or convicted of any crime by judicial process."
History repeats itself.
This is now what our country does.
