Trump never meant a word he said The Iran war is a chance for Democrats to dismantle what’s left of public trust in the president and demoralize maga.

Trump is hiding his real motivations for going to war with Iran. The Democrats must say what he really means and in doing so accelerate the public's snowballing distrust of a president who breaks his promises.

Instead of calling this Administration a clown car, we get rhetorical questions everyone understands the answer to.

Donald Trump is dragging the United States into a war the American people do not want. Let me be clear: I am opposed to a regime-change war in Iran, and our troops are being put in harm’s way for the sake of Trump’s war of choice.

1,503,212 Texans early voted in the Democratic Primary, surpassing Republican turnout by about 225,000. If that continues on Election Day, it will shatter a record that has stood for at least thirty years. And in case you've missed it, Texans are mad as hell. #TXsen

The President of the United States is an arrogant and unhinged imbecile.

The judges in WV have seen enough.

They say that if the ICE continues detaining people in ways they have unanimously deemed illegal they will start issuing civil fines and contempt findings β€” including against state officials who help them carry it out.

A U.S. official said American military strikes on Iran were underway.

Remember when Congress authorized the use of force against Iran?

Me neither.

Any U.S. attack on Iran would violate U.S. and international law.

Early voting in Texas has ended. To put in perspective what has happened, u need 2 know that Texas Democrats have exceeded the early vote in both 2022 & 2024, which was a presidential primary, & Dems essentially doubled the total early vote of both elections. Black Dems R on fire!!!! #TXsen

Trump is in Texas today because the GOP is in trouble. Presidents don’t campaign in β€œsafe” states unless something’s wrong.

And, there's a lot wrong right now. Texans have suffered under one party rule for too long.

If there was any evidence in the Epstein files that President Clinton knew what was up, we would be assaulted with it daily. He done lost his law license once for lying. He won't do it a second time. Trust and believe that Hillary would kill him dead.
