once again asking democrats to get out ahead of an issue which will prove to be monumentally unpopular in a month or two instead of waffling while they wait for poll data

We need better Democrats.

Not a single dollar more for Trump’s illegal war.

It doesn't help that she's been egging them on, with the tenor/type of attacks she makes; I don't think she'll ascend beyond the house at this point.

It'll be uphill fight regardless of whether the GOP nominate Cornyn or Paxton, but Paxton is wildly viewed as the worse/less electable MAGA candidate. Odds are long, but one can dream πŸ₯Ί

Polling was all over the place for the primary, looks like Talarico is going to win. He's the more electable (and honestly imo, better) candidate to face off whoever the GOP nominates in Texas.

Trump Weighs Backing Militias to Dislodge Iran’s Regime The president, who hasn’t made a decision, also said β€œsomebody from within” would be the best option to lead the country.

Creating a civil war right next to the world's most vulnerable hydrocarbon shipping lane? I foresee no problems with this.

Pres Trump told me tonight the US had identified possible candidates to take over Iran, but they were killed in the initial attack.

"The attack was so successful it knocked out most of the candidates," Trump told me. "It's not going to be anybody that we were thinking of because they are all dead. Second or third place is dead."

It’s insane this is legal. People around Trump are profiting off war and death. I’m introducing legislation ASAP to ban this.

the clear incentive here is to never negotiate with the US in good faith, nuclearize as fast as possible, expect that even if you have a deal - potus might decide to murder you for content
