CNN: State Dept urges US citizens to "DEPART NOW" from countries throughout Middle East

Two days into the war:

- three F-15s shot down

- U.S. embassy in Saudi Arabia in flames

- six U.S. service members confirmed dead; more wounded

- State Department tells Americans to flee the entire Middle East

He attacked to…stop the war? 😵‍💫

If only the U.S. had leverage to persuade Netanyahu to refrain…🤔

Alito called it “unadorned racial discrimination.” Well he should know. This kangaroo court jumps heavily on the white Christian nationalist scale once again. Destroying voting rights protections is John Roberts’ legacy.

Heavy emphasis on “his understanding of the law” according to Trump. Has anyone checked on Johnson’s puppet string in his back? Multiple reports that the administration told the Pentagon there was no imminent threat and Trump keeps calling it a war. Such a farce.

Just ignore his repeated nod to Nazis…

Fill your gas tanks ASAP.

It means it’s unconstitutional and they know it.

All perfectly normal…

Who woulda thunk it?

Meanwhile…war rages on. This guy really is Chauncey the Gardener in “Being There” (only much more malevolent).

Yeah, nobody cares if you’re normalizing unapologetic bigots is a real flex.

The money behind the new Iran War In private calls over the last several weeks, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman urged President Trump to attack Iran.

1. According to multiple reports both Saudi Arabia and the UAE lobbied Trump to attack Iran.

Both countries have increased their influence with Trump by investing billions in projects that personally enrich Trump and his son-in-law, Jared Kushner.

Veteran CBS News Producer Says She’s Quitting Because of Political Pressure

Mary Walsh had been a key player at the network’s news division since 1982. She left behind a scathing memo that charged Bari Weiss and owner David Ellison with pushing coverage to the right.

I am continually amazed by what complete quislings the GOP Congress have become. If they had any principles I would be embarrassed for them but as it is, they are just a threat to our democracy and security at this point.

So are China, Russia, and North Korea - are they next on Trump’s hit list? Reporters needs to ask this every time they use this lame excuse.

Listening to GOP Rep. Mike Turner on MJ just now justifying military action with a new talking point: “It all depends on your definition of imminent threat.” So now, they’re justifying the illegal attack because of potential threats. GOP masochists love to neuter themselves for Trump.

lol, that should help - insult your ever-shrinking base! Thanks Ted!

Narrator: they literally started this war (without Congressional authorization).

This is actually the SecDef. It is not satire. It is not an SNL skit. The cost of treasure, human life, and security belongs to the Senate GOP who confirmed this 🤡 knowing exactly who he is.

Exactly. If this is pre-emptive then why not attack N. Korea, China, or Russia? They’re openly admitting there was no emergency rationale for launching a strike w/out Congressional approval. @chrismurphyct.bsky.social @kaine.senate.gov @duckworth.senate.gov @jayapal.house.gov @repdean.bsky.social

Taking a page from the Bully in Chief by insulting the reporter asking direct questions. How dare @nbcnews.com for confronting the gaslighters!

🤮 Who wrote this copy? ie: they launched an illegal, unprovoked attack w/out Congressional approval that will cost taxpayers’ billions, make the region less secure, and endanger the lives of our servicemen and women who are directly involved, unlike Hegseth and Trump playing war games at Mar-a-Lago.

Except they haven’t laid out specific objectives or strategy and keep changing their “reasoning” (if you can call constantly-changing explanations) for this action.

They’ve already moved on to yet another excuse/rationalization for this unauthorized war of choice: bsky.app/profile/chad...

Great visual as to what we all are experiencing. Notice when the blue line started its rapid ascent? 1980's with the ol' VooDoo economics of Reagan topped off by his union busting.
