Is it just me or does destroying police stations and basically all government infrastructure leave Iran pretty vulnerable to extremist groups in the region to exert even more influence in the country? Take out "bad guys" and very often there are worse guys ready to step into the void.

Mass Shooting Tracker

Found this site for US mass shootings.

America is more violent than ever.

Violence begets violence

Please 🙏 stop, it’s not about mental health. It’s about a culture where the DoD is now the Department of War, intentionally.

We need to pass a House rule or law that requires them to work a certain number of days to get paid. Since Mike Johnson took over these people hardly ever work. When they finally come back after weeks off they work 2 days and he sends them home for 2 more weeks. It’s ridiculous.

KLOBUCHAR: Alex Pretti's parents said what you said was one of the most hurtful things they could imagine. Do you want to say anything to Alex's parents?

NOEM: I did not call him a 'domestic terrorist.' I said it 'appeared to be an incident of'

KLOBUCHAR: I think the parents saw it for what it was

Yet another broken promise from President Trump.

We simply cannot allow these fucking morons to act like they're the ones who truly love this country. They don't take matters of life and deaths seriously. They aren't patriots--they're the most selfish people on the planet.

What's shameful is: Speaker Johnson is not loyal to the constitution of the United States. He should be investigated for falsely swearing his oath of office

We’ll see whose bravado will get the nukes out.

Well, Putin said he would have the entire country in days or something. But Trump and Yahoo killed leadership the first day. Of course anything can happen, but anything can always happen. Russia could take Ukraine tomorrow.

Could turn out the same.

Trump is like, "Putin showed us their crappy capabilities in Ukraine. Now we're going to show him what we're capable of in Iran".

This is what is happening whether you like it or not.

Tell that 8 year-old boy in the “I LIKE IKE” tree shirt that before he dies his country will be just like the bad guys in the movies.

Just in case they are looking to see public response.

I am against war. I am against collaborating with warmongers. I'm against war crimes and the massacre of children. Of anyone.

War is monstrous.

What is being done cannot be justified. I am ashamed of and disgusted by the horror we unleash.

Hegseth admits Trump will take whatever latitude he wants to wage war and for as long as he chooses. He says Trump will decide the objective and "we" will carry it out. There is no clear timeline, meaning the war could continue indefinitely. Trump has still not addressed the nation.

after absolutely eviscerating Kristi Noem and calling for her resignation, Tillis is applauded. He thens threatens to hold up nominees if she doesn't stop stonewalling him. My God.
