Our military leaders know it's an illegal war, too. Yet...

Reality check

The war on Iran is fundamentally illegal

Yet not one general or even soldier -- they we know of -- refused to follow this illegal order

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

Too bad they fired and gutted their counterterrorism capacity

I will never get over Republicans putting a private escort in the White House to represent our country.

When there are no consequences for the last bad thing, you'll get a next worse thing.

Gee. You "implored" Rubio. Actually "implored" him.

We need strong leadership, Senator. We are way past your era of politics. Thanks for all you've done, now step out of the way so we can elect Democrats who will fight for our democracy.

A reminder that the administration spent the day before it launched a war in the Middle East feuding with tech companies over whether and how the AI models the Pentagon buys will be restrained from autonomously killing people.

Republican Incompetence:
Cut taxes for the uber-wealthy.
Cut benefits for everyone else.
Start unnecessary wars, waste $Trillions.
1000s service members die.
Break laws, subvert the Constitution.
Crash the economy.
Leave the country $Trillions more in debt.
Blame Dems for all of it.

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done

- completely destroyed the economy

WASHINGTON, Feb 28 (Reuters) - Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Dan Caine are monitoring the U.S. operation in Iran from President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, where Trump is currently located, a person familiar with the matter told Reuters.

Thanks to the keystone cops running our government, we are completely unprepared to deal with escalation on our soil.

Of course. He actually thinks he'll be raptured and blissfully live in eternal life. When, more likely, he'll be in hell with Donald Trump.

In a functioning democracy, Trump would have had to go to Congress and make a case for war.
In a dictatorship, Trump kills whomever he wants to.

WHY ARE YOU STILL VOTING TO CONFIRM TRUMP'S PICKS FOR ANY POSITION????

Not ONE of his confirmees is qualified or serious about serving the country. NOT ONE!

Happy Saturday, friends of democracy πŸ—½ and rule of law βš–οΈ

Regime change begins at home ... NOW ... in the midterms.

It's up to us to oust the greatest threat to the world and the (trojan) horse he rode in on.

Trump is calling on Iran’s civilians to β€œrise up” and take over their government for their safety and freedom, which is strange because back home US citizens are being shot, detained, or threatened simply for filming immigration agents and excercising their Constitutional rights

It’s so easy to go from the No War president to the regime-change war president. Especially if you’re the Board of Peace chair.

We genuinely need a revival of virtue in the United States.

In my view, that’s almost as critical a project as any other structural reform project necessary in the wake of trumpism. We should become a society that actually values human life such that we would feel shame about this.

We will not be sanctioning Russia for dropping bombs on schools and hospitals. We will be sanctioning Minnesota for allowing its wine moms to blow whistles at ICE officers.
