Quick note for evangelicals: war in the Middle East doesn't trigger the second coming.

Jesus isn’t Beetlejuice.

America can afford immigrants. They build our home, take care of our kids, cook our food and pay taxes.

We can't afford billionaires who pay politicians to pay no no taxes and fleece our govt.

Citizens United realized as we spend $$$ on war crimes should be a bigger story in America.

WAKE UP!!!

The DOJ released documents on 3/6 revealing the FBI interviewed a woman who alleged she was sexually abused by Trump, Epstein, & others when she was just 13-years old.

THEY KNEW IT! Every perpetrator, every enabler & all who covered up the truth need consequences.

The current (and most of my life's) position of the Republican Party are antithetical to the American ethos we were raised to believe in.

The SAVE America Act is a voter suppression scam. It would take away the rights of working people to make their voices heard at the ballot box.

The Senate must reject this bill.

Every commanding officer in the US military that gives the orders to bomb civilians, desal plants, non military targets needs to be court martialed and sent to prison. A strong message needs to be sent to our military that they took an oath to the Constitution. Iran is a war crime.

Sad, but indeed, true.

But let's not excuse the other 2 cowardly and/or treacherous branches of government.

A more honest and accurate headline would be:

"Trump assured massive profits to fuel Putin's war on Europe while simultaneously paying off oil execs who bankrolled his campaign."

Stop talking about Kamala Harris & Hillary Clinton. The elections are over. They lost!! And no, we do NOT know what they would or would not do about anything. STFU!

We have a country being run by a psychopath and child rapist and a grotesque Congress cooperating with the scumbag!

Focus on the NOW!

We are a nation of 349M, yet one man decided to launch our nation into a reckless, illegal war without congressional authorization or counsel or the support of the American people. He didn’t think he had any duty to sell it or serve the people’s interests. This is why despotic rule is so dangerous.

The president is handing out oversized clown shoes to his cabinet — and watching to see who refuses to wear them.

It's Solzhenitsyn's Stalin story come to life: the first person to stop applauding ended up in the gulag. The lesson then, as now — never be the first to stop clapping.

It’s pretty wild that we KNOW there is compromising blackmail on our current president and it’s just kind of ignored.

I'm guessing they didn't consider this possibility?

I wish I could say that I was surprised.

If you still condone this administration, you're a special kind of stupid. We bombed a school filled with young girls. Gas just jumped 40 cents. Not to mention the cost of American lives. I'm beginning to think Bibi is Bubba. What's a few more trillion?

Top Arizona officials warn FBI may use election probe to seize voter rolls sought by DOJ "I think this investigation is an end-around by the Department of Justice," Arizona's secretary of state said.

NEW: Top Democrats in Arizona said the FBI’s Maricopa County election probe might be an attempt to obtain the state’s full unredacted voter rolls, which the DOJ is seeking through a lawsuit.

“We cannot overstate the importance of protecting voters’ private data,” they wrote.

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics. It’s the root of all evil in Washington.

"Authorization Process: Congress must amend the Military Selective Service Act to allow the President to authorize the induction of personnel."

Told ya. They might have time, but no will. We'll see. FUCK.

If only there was another war I could think of in recent memory involving the US in the Middle East, where regime change was promised, didn’t happen, victory was declared and then the whole thing was repeated catastrophically badly at a later date. 🤔

Not electing Kamala Harris has got to be the
most colossal fuck up America has ever made .

Even if oil prices get back to “normal,” the disruption should be a wake-up call to move faster on alternative energy sources. If blocking one sea lane is all it takes to send gas prices soaring, then we need to move away from fossil fuels — fast.

Our president is one of the most arrogantly stupid leaders in the history of this planet.

Pentagon Should Focus on Defense Priorities, not Lavish Dinners, After Historic $93.4B “Use-It-or-Lose-It” September Defense officials typically enter the end of each fiscal year with at least one goal in mind: spend the rest of the military’s budget by any means necessary.

Pete Hegseth spent $93 billion in a single month.

$225M in furniture

$2M in Alaskan king crab

Blumenthal after getting briefed on Iran: "We seem to be on a path toward deploying American troops on the ground in Iran to accomplish any of the potential objectives here. There's also the specter of active Russian aid to Iran putting in danger American lives ... China also may be assisting Iran"

NBC’s Richard Engel: “The White House meme campaign is outraging many former US military commanders… they say only someone who has never really seen combat would think it’s a joke and put out material like this.”
