Warner: "When the president says to the Iranian people, 'Rise up. This is your chance to take your country back,' what happens if 100,000 Iranian citizens go onto the streets of Tehran and the IRGC forces, which are brutal, murder 20,000? Does the US have an obligation there?"

I need to remind people. The midterms have never been so important.

Don't let people use scare tactics or make you think it won't happen.

also if voting didn't matter gerrymandering wouldn't exist.

"Imagine a year from now" -- the new administration line, being pushed here by Marco Rubio, is that Iran was developing conventional weapons "as a shield" for nukes. That story is much weaker than claiming Iran was an imminent threat.

After March 3rd, we lock in behind the Democratic nominee, Crockett or Talarico, and drive this thing straight through the general.

He was rambling on about the war he got us into and veered off into curtain talk, then seamlessly continued on to discuss the men that have lost their lives.
He did that so easily because he doesn’t care about the dead. His ability to pick curtains is just as important and must be mentioned.

China’s latest energy data offers a signal worth paying attention to. In 2025, emissions from energy and industry fell by 0.3%, modest, but notable, even as total energy consumption rose by 3.5%.

The key driver? A continued surge in solar power capacity.
