Oh for f*ks sake.

PM Carney didn’t start this war. He’s not dropping any bombs.

He commented.

Agree or disagree with his comments.

But seriously - don’t blame him for death of children.

I know this is only social media, but a perspective is useful.

No, I won’t answer stupid comments.

Reminder that Netanyahu has been trying to get an American president who would bomb Iran for decades. So congratulations, everyone who treated Harris and Trump as equivalents or argued against voting for her: you are a bigger Bibi supporter than a large chunk of the population of Israel.

The Israeli military released video showing a strike on IRGC forces in western Iran. It said that after the first strike destroyed the main target, IRGC personnel fled and were then hit by a missile from behind. #Iran

OCASIO-CORTEZ STATEMENT ON
TRUMP'S COMBAT OPERATIONS IN IRAN
"The American people are once again dragged into a war they did not want by a president who does not care about the long-term consequences of his actions. This war is unlawful. It is unnecessary. And it will be catastrophic.

"Just this week, Iran and the United States were negotiating key measures that could have staved off war. The President walked away from these discussions and chose war instead.President Trump flippantly acknowledged the possibility of American casualties, stating "that often happens in war.'

"Mr. President: this was not an inevitability. This is a deliberate choice of aggression when diplomacy and security were within reach. Stop lying to the American people.

"Violence begets violence. We learned this lesson in Iraq. We learned this lesson in Afghanistan. And we are about to learn it again in Iran. Bombs have yet to create enduring democracies in the region and this will be no different.

"In moments of war, our Constitution is unambiguous: Congress authorizes war. The President does not. I will do my part to uphold our Constitution by voting YES on Representatives Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie's War Powers Resolution. Every member of Congress must join us in rejecting this aimless war.

The real story is that foreign govts try to "interfere" all the time. In 2020 and 2024 we had mechanisms to catch them, call them out, & mitigate damage. Now, those mechanims are gone & the Trump admin would prefer to exploit "foreign interference" to justify a federal take-over of elections.

Iran Strikes Feel Like 2003 All Over Again Less than a year ago, US President Donald Trump gave a speech in the Middle East in which he excoriated his predecessors for their habit of launching β€œforever wars” in that region. Alluding to the American invasion of Iraq in 2003 in particular, he accused them of β€œintervening in complex societies that they did not even understand themselves,” with the result that they β€œwrecked far more nations than they built.”

Trump may have just launched the kind of Middle Eastern forever war he has long condemned in his predecessors (via Bloomberg Opinion)

This is not a Left/Right issue. EVERY AMERICAN should be terrified that these lunatics running DOD are willing to go to these extremes to force a company to remove all safeguards from AI at DOD. This isn’t about politics - it’s about human liberty and survival.

CNN will soon be controlled by David Ellison. If democracy is to survive, a vibrant independent media ecosystem is critical.

My ask: cancel your Paramount/Warner subscriptions and sign up for as many pro-democracy outlets as you are able.

Keystone is having a full meltdown after his hockey vacation. He was appointed specifically to cover up Epstein, kill all investigations of Republicans and wealthy fraudsters, and destroy the FBI. And that is what he has been doing.

Hegseth cancels troop attendance at top-ranked schools because they're teaching the β€œenemy’s wicked ideologies"

Hegseth called Harvard "β€œone of the red-hot centers of hate-America activism.”

If you don't want a vote on matters of war and peace, gtfo of congress, because that's literally your job.

If you think it's better to leave those matters to the likes of Trump and Hegseth, gtfo of Democratic politics.

PS, you don't have "affairs" with trafficked women and girls. You assault them.

If you were buddies w/ Epstein and emailing about STI meds you wanted to slip your wife w/o her knowledge...w/o evidence these women weren't actually 1. children and 2. trafficked, I'm assuming they were.

Brazen revisionist lying here by Danielle Smith, blaming AHS for screwing up the procurement. She personally announced the purchase. At her behest, Jason Copping directly oversaw the contract and defended the high cost. This is from a March 20, 2025 Globe story by Carrie Tait and Alanna Smith.

Logged in and the first thing I hear is "I'm not going to depend on internal affairs, I want the facts. ... I want to know what happened. If the facts [in the affadvit] are true, it's a blatant disregard of the court's order."

Suffice to say that Judge Lamberth is NOT happy about all of this.

NEW: When anti-ICE protesters disrupted a church service, the Trump administration vowed to stop at nothing to protect religious liberty.

But congregations across the country who welcome immigrants say ICE has been violating their rights on a mass scale.

Wow. The government just apparently crippled the tool that people are using to track contracts like these DHS ones.

I'm told this is the tool Schiff's office is using to track the ICE contracts for military-style weaponry I reported on in the piece/thread below.
