Reckless is the only way to describe Donald Trump's war with Iran.

He’s a wrecking ball president.

FALSE. Gov. Newsom NEVER announced this and is not β€œtaxing 5-year-olds.”

Federal and state tax codes have differed for decades. That’s not news.

What IS news is Trump copying the CA universal children’s savings accounts launched years ago β€” up to $1.5K in FREE education funding for eligible kids.

I do actually think there is a serious imbalance on this app. A lot of politics and not enough culture. Some of that has to do with the fact that Black Twitter mostly went to Threads.

Democracy will not survive without strong independent media Trump and his allies are rapidly taking over our major news outlets.

Not long ago, independent media felt like a luxury. Specialized news subscriptions that provided in-depth information, opinion and analysis were costly and time-consuming. They were purely optional, even indulgent.

That is no longer the case. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/demo...

The FBI being on high alert for terrorist actions is important right now.

Tell Congress: No War with Iran! Contact Congress today!

URGENT: Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna are using a discharge petition to force a vote on stopping Trump's war in Iran.

We've beat Mike Johnson BAD with discharge petitions beforeβ€”and we'll do it again!

Tell your Rep. to sign on right now:

As an Iranian in exile as some call it, I want nothing more than a regime change in Iran.

But what I don't want is my country destroyed, people killed, and all looted by Americans!

I am closely monitoring the ongoing military operations in Iran. International military actions have a direct and profound impact on Maryland’s families and communities.

I served in Afghanistan and I’ve seen who pays the price when Washington rushes into conflict.

I know a lot of people are freaking out about an executive order about voting, so I will remind everyone:

1) It is very illegal and would not survive even this SCOTUS

2) If it happens anyway, it's strike/riot time because the democratic process is the only excuse for not having already done so.

The entire Republican party knows Trump is deranged, but they keep supporting him for various reasons, some out of greed, some out of fear of retribution, and some because they are ashamed to admit that he made fools out of them.

Jon Ossoffβ€”the lone Senate Dem facing reelection in a Trump-won stateβ€”slams his Iran war: β€œI oppose yet another regime change war-of-choice in the Middle East. Congress must convene immediately and pass a War Powers Resolution to assert our Constitutional authority over war and peace.”

If you voted for Trump, this is on you.

If you voted third party, this is on you.

If you chose not to vote at all, this is on you.

Your reasons are irrelevant.

As we close Black History Month, I’m proud of our Black employee resource group, ASSET, creating a fair for Black-owned businesses in Kansas City and building connections and respect for all of our employees. They almost got me out to two step.

Thank you! We’re proud to lift every voice each day.
