We can’t just build houses, we need to also invest in repairing and upgrading the homes that already exist. Plenty of homes around the county are in need of repairs, so why not give them the fixes they need?

Trump and Republicans keep getting asked what’s next in Iran. Their answers are β€œhopefully” this or β€œwe hope” that.Β 

Hope is not a strategy, and a plan built on hope alone is how we end up in decades-long wars that cost thousands of American lives.

The costs of this Iran war debacle will likely be more than the cost of extending the ACA health insurance subsidies.

If you asked Americans, which do you want: another war in the Middle East or lower health care costs at home, is the margin 90 to 10? 95 to 5?

It’s an open primary. Rs talk about voting strategically for Ds in primaries because they feel so certain of an R win in the general. Would love to see more analysis from TX.

It’s insane this is legal. People around Trump are profiting off war and death. I’m introducing legislation ASAP to ban this.

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!

The thing about the U.S. and Israel is that both of their leaders are trying to stay out of prison.

Iran has the capacity to launch terror and cyber attacks against allies and US. Due to DOGE, partisan firings of FBI and cyber officials, and lack of focus or know how by AG Bondi and DHS Noem, they are ignoring this possibility completely.

Donald Trump cannot be trusted to lead America into war. He is unaccountable to America. He is lawless. He only seeks conflict to cover up for his failures.

Congress must step up, reassert its power, and represent the American people.

We do not want another forever war.

Iranians will remember the Kurds, and that the U.S. will sell out anyone. True during the Iraq war, and even more true now under this quixotic and murderous administration.

my question is -

if they could take out the ayatollah with that kind of precision, why hit anything else?

specifically, why hit a school?

One disgusting aspect of all this is Trump fundamentally doesn’t care about it at all. He barely knows where any of these places are. He likes cash in brown envelopes and being on TV as Mr Big Important Guy. He’s just willing to pull any lever he thinks might keep that stuff flowing indefinitely.

In 2025 Trump said: "If we happen to be in a war with somebody, no more elections. Oh that's good," (As Trump begins military operations in Iran, the White House is threatening an executive order to nationalize elections.)

This is a Wag the dog war. Yes, Iran is a bad actor, however this is an attempt to change the American narrative away from the economy, tariffs, corruption, the Epstein files, ICE and the GOP sagging polls leading into the midterms.

The President has launched our nation and our great military into a war of choice, risking American lives and resources, ignoring American law, and endangering our allies and partners. It does nothing to help with the urgent problems here at home that Americans face every day.
