As a country we have made a lot of mistakes in foreign wars over the last 2+ centuries. But I’m not sure we have ever looked as feckless, foolish, incompetent and ridiculous at the leadership level than right now.

🚨 The Trump admin just gave VA lawyers power to initiate FORCED GUARDIANSHIP over homeless veterans — stripping them of legal autonomy and forcing them into institutions. Nearly 33,000 veterans are unhoused in America. This is despicable.

The DNC is suing the Trump administration for refusing to answer a simple question, “are you planning to put armed agents or military at polling places?” They submitted 11 FOIA requests and have gotten zero answers.
Pentagon tells Congress no sign that Iran was going to attack US first, per Reuters
Almost every incumbent Congressional Rs running in a competitive races has voted for:
- tariffs, higher prices, slower economy
- war, higher prices, slower economy
- health care cuts, higher health care costs, less care
- ICE terror force, killing Americans
- tax cuts for oligarchs
Good luck!
Not only this — but donors who give $1M+ to a Trump-backed group organizing events for the nation's 250th anniversary will gain special access to, and can seek favors from, Trump himself.
Everything is for sale. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/08/u...
Republicans didn’t think before they started another conflict in the Middle East. Hard-working families will pay the price at the pump and grocery store.
Mark Kelly: We would have to fight a ground war to "totally obliterate" Iran's nuclear capability - we're in this war because one person, Trump, ripped up the Nuclear Deal.
Trump is spending $1 billion a day waging war on Iran. Meanwhile...
Trump's sons are investing in a drone company that could soon receive Pentagon contracts.
And of course Trump's Big Oil donors stand to gain windfall profits as the price of oil skyrockets.
War is a racket.
Sen. Coons: The clearest winner from this war in Iran is Russia. It's stunning that Trump is on the phone with Vladimir Putin and spending more time consulting with him than he is with Congress and the American people.
BREAKING: As many as 150 U.S. troops have been wounded in the war with Iran, according to sources familiar—far higher than the Pentagon’s publicly disclosed figure of just 8 seriously wounded troops. The true toll of this war is already far worse than the public has been told. (Reuters)

🚨BREAKING: Democrats filed a lawsuit Tuesday demanding President Donald Trump’s administration unveil their plans, if any, for deploying federal officers or troops on election day. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
It looks like Trump is getting ready to TACO on Iran. But it’s not as easy to get the fierce dogs of war back in the kennel as it is the docile puppies of tariffs.
That and more in today's Morning Shots from @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social and @markhertling.bsky.social:
We're spending $1 billion per day on war as millions of working people struggle to get by.
Meanwhile, America's ultra-rich have never been richer.
YouTube's AI deepfake detection tool is becoming available to politicians, journalists, and officials, letting them flag unauthorized likenesses for removal.
The federal regulatory agency tasked with keeping America’s nuclear power plants safe and running smoothly is set to make huge cuts to the amount of time its staffers spend on safety and emergency inspections, opening the door for to more self-policing from the industry. https://cnn.it/4rlFKbS
GOP deflection is a chronic habit in the US. Let’s lay the blame where it belongs.
Trump's DOJ just gave a slap-on-the-wrist settlement to LiveNation/Ticketmaster.
The deal doesn't break up the ticket monopoly, and comes after its lobbyists boasted about getting the DOJ's antitrust chief fired last month.
Trump's promise to fix a rigged economic system was always baloney.
In case you're looking for some extra cash . . .

“I didn’t vote for THIS,” say the manosphere podcasters who simply had no way of knowing that Trump would lie about being a populist to get into office and then govern like a autocratic lunatic once in power, other than the fact that he did it for 4 entire years before that.
National Transportation Safety Board member Todd Inman, who was the NTSB's initial on scene spokesman at the deadly midair collision over Washington, D.C., last January, has abruptly departed the agency two years into what is typically a five-year term.
"A woman who claims she was abused as a minor by both Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump has given the FBI vivid accounts that include aspects of her life corroborated by the The Post and Courier through public records."
A dying man got us into a war, but he won’t live long enough to see it end.
All to distract from the Epstein files and his role.
An accomplishment, but not a good one.
Holy shit. Crude oil futures going nuts tonight.
