Map of the ME showing the two straits

Yemen’s Houthis have announced they’ll be joining the war in support of Iran shortly. Analysts expect them to shut down another strait, Bab El-Mandeb, which will close the Suez Canal. The global economy hangs by a thread.

Canada is reportedly gearing up for a U.S. invasion.

While 🇨🇦 & the 🇺🇸 are allies, reports suggest 🇨🇦 military planners are examining hypothetical scenarios to strengthen national defenses.

Not because war is expected, but because no nation ignores potential threats!

Senate votes down war powers resolution.

What is the biggest difference between Susan Collins and John Fetterman?

Collins has more hair.

What is the biggest similarity?

You can count on both to complain about Trump…but always vote with him when it matters.

Cult members can’t be held responsible for knowing what’s in the Constitution. Heck their job is simply to service and protect their Fearless Leader.

Hegseth knows that playing a tough guy on TV and gratuitously abusing reporters will make the Audience of One happy, but what he actually said in substantive terms was just word vomit. Trump himself was buffoonishly incoherent in interviews with reporters. 2/

Pete Hegseth’s Crazed, Angry Tirades on Iran Give Dems a Big Opening It’s not enough for Democrats to say Trump’s war rationales haven’t been fully explained. The problem is that they are patently false.

Pete Hegseth's crazed rants at reporters reveal that Trump's rationales for attacking Iran are incoherent, confused, and based on lies. Dems don't have to take refuge in criticizing Trump's war on purely procedural grounds. They can go much harder. 1/

MAGAs have all been groomed to believe mentally-incapacitated Trump is brilliant, then whenever he goes off, their only thought is to compliment him basically cause they already decided in their heads that everything he does is wonderful. Critical thinking is not on their palette you might say.

Trump never read nor understood the Constitution so he ignores it. It’s up to the folks who swore to defend it to come forward.
