When I think about American boots on the ground, I think about how Project 2025 calls for all public school kids to take the military entrance exam, but not the private school kids.

Well, this aged exactly how I was afraid it would

Trump now has three options:
1) Retreat from Iran and lose the middle east forever, Israel destroyed
2) Put boots on the ground and lose thousands and thousands of U.S. troops
3) Bomb Iran with nukes and risk global destruction
Nice going you stupid MAGAts

The United States murdered defenseless Iranians at Sea and left them to drown, which is a war crime. We seem to be doing a lot of war crimes nowadays. Maybe Pete hegseth needs to stand trial of The Hague

100%😔

I was at first shocked that more people weren’t talking about how the US bombed a school full of girls in Iran, but then I remembered how little they pretend to care when American kids are killed in schools.

The Iranian president apologizes to the neighboring states - and is immediately attacked by the hardliners of the regime. Apparently there are power struggles after the death of Ayatollah Khamenei.

This could get ugly quickly.

Every republican accusation is a confession.

Reuters: Germany has pulled additional Bundeswehr troops out of the Middle East, ​per military spokesman.

Soldiers deployed ​with the UNIFIL mission in Lebanon ​are being withdrawn due to the security ⁠situation after the ​Bundeswehr already sharply reduced its presence in Erbil ​in northern Iraq.

Iranian hackers threatening to hack into the top 3 credit bureaus and wiping Americans debt… and I just wanna know who I gotta speak to in order to expedite this.

I can’t believe how stupid everything is

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:

Tax cuts for the rich
...don’t trickle down

Boosting military spending
...doesn’t bring peace

Slashing regulations
...doesn’t create jobs

Folks, we’ve seen this all before.

NONE OF THIS IS GOING TO STOP UNLESS WE MAKE IT STOP.

Just think where we would be on her 100th day in office 😫 #IHateHumans

I don't understand how some folks are unable to see that the illegal disappearing of people is a class issue. The wealthy and well-connected get due process. The rest of us don't. This is part of the oligarchy, not a distraction from it.

The good news is that the constitution provides ways for Congress and the Judiciary to reign in a power-hungry president. The bad news is those people are all scared of him.

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism.

If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone.

Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

I knew it wasn’t a good idea to employ 12 year olds at the Pentagon…

Beautiful 🌅🌊! Good morning from Opua! Pretty murky up here this morning ⛅️.

Twenty Lessons, read by John Lithgow Key selections from On Tyranny, for viewing and sharing

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work.

From the 2024 presidential immunity oral arguments: "But the liberal justices voiced concern that by offering presidents a shield from prosecution, the court could turn the Oval Office into a “seat of criminality,” as Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson described it."

Hey, @schumer.senate.gov :: you better not be playing cute with your language about stopping the SAVE Act. I hope you intend to VOTE NO ON CLOTURE, as opposed to what you did with the CR when you told us you'd vote no on the bill, but still voted YES on cloture. We are in no mood for games.

🤮🤢🤮

See you again, on April 19th…👇

Be there, and bring a friend this time. 😎

Hands. Off. Continues. ✨
