Iran: Trump warns 'time is running out' for nuclear deal as US military builds up in Gulf Tehran says its armed forces are ready "with their fingers on the trigger" to respond to any aggression.

But I thought he wiped out Iran’s nuclear capabilities. Oh wait, he lied again.

Yo, ICE! This is what a hostile, threatening approach looks like. And Ilhan Omar’s security didn’t murder him. Imagine that.

KAINE: The president repeatedly mistook Iceland for Greenland, right? We're not mad at Iceland, correct?

RUBIO: Yeah, he meant to say Greenland, but I think we're all familiar with presidents who have verbal stumbles. Some made a lot more than this one

KAINE: Nice try

More and more Americans are voicing their outrage at the tactics being deployed by federal agents in Minnesota. But it’s important to understand the broader implications of what this administration is doing, and the threat it poses to the basic freedoms of every American.

Trump continues to lie and incite violence against Rep. Ilhan Omar: "I think she's a fraud ... she probably had herself sprayed, knowing her."

Trump's strongman act is in tatters as he's heckled, ridiculed and embarrassed Donald Trump’s second term is rapidly unravelling, with dissent spreading beyond his critics to senior Republicans and furious MAGA voters - a collapse laid bare when he was heckled by his own support...

He was heckled at one of his own hate rallies and, for him, that's bad. Very bad.

If your political party is making the argument that a guy with a gun is not allowed to defend a woman from a mob of masked men or else he's a "terrorist", I regret to inform you that you're the Baddies.

Trump hopes that by firing Bovino it will placate enough people to take some of the heat off ICE so they can resume their gestapo shit with less scrutiny.

Fuck that. Let's enjoy the small victory, but then get right back to fighting. ICE must be abolished, anything less isn't enough.

I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work.

I don’t let bullies win.

Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.
