But this is a save the date, not a “sit back and wait.” 🧵

How Politicians Count your Calls and Do you Want to Sponsor a Porta Potty for No Kings 3? Do you see how I indiscreetly put those two items together?

Do you see how we indiscreetly put those two items together? Just like adding riders to a house bill. 😉

The President announced a war on fraud.

You can begin with the most corrupt administration in American history.

The Trump Cartel.

Rep. Patronis claims Trump's strikes on Iran are part of "an effort of global peace taking place under his leadership"

The Framers understood first and foremost the need to safeguard against usurpation of power by the executive.

Americans do not want another forever war in the Middle East.

Congress must return to DC immediately to reassert its war powers.

I have seen no indication there was any immediate threat to Americans. So why did we put troops in harms way and potentially ignite another forever war?

No more endless war

"An absolutely extraordinary day in the UAE"

Sky News Correspondent Sally Lookwood reports from Dubai on Iran's attempted missile strikes on the UAE.

Trump put far too little effort into diplomacy with Iran. He’s placing service members in harm’s way without any proof of imminent threat.

President Netanyahu

“Don’t send your sons to finish what politicians start.”

@markhertling.bsky.social: "There is no rational legal basis for this strike.”

This aged well..

Time for Baron to load-out..

Bring Congress back into session. Now. We should vote on Senator Kaine's War Powers Resolution today.

Several eyewitness reports are coming in that the Palms was struck in Dubai.

The U.S. is now engulfed in what could be another forever war in Iran. Here’s a warning from 10 years ago that sadly feels too relevant right now.

🚨Trigger Warning! Disturbing images

A girls’ school was hit.
Soldiers told to prepare to die.

And we’re supposed to call this “strong leadership”?

Real strength protects children!
Real strength values the lives of our troops!

Escalation isn’t strength!
It’s a cost paid in blood!

#SheShed

Perfect.

Trump's top general warns of Iran strike risks Vice President Vance has also raised concerns internally

Trump’s handpicked Joint Chiefs chairman warned that an attack on Iran could turn into a prolonged conflict. Yet the “peace president” launched strikes anyway alongside the Netanyahu government.

Urge your elected officials to use their power to stop Trump’s war: act.indivisible.org/sign/no-iran...

Jim Jordan has expressed that he believes Americans are not in favor of prosecuting Trump, suggesting that the legal actions against him are politically motivated. So let me ask you, do you want Trump prosecuted? Let’s prove a point. 🔄

To all Texans who voted early in the primary because you have to work, have another commitment, or are ill on election day - Trump and Republicans in Congress want to take that away from you.

Iran Says 40 School Children Killed in Strikes Iran said that at least 40 elementary school children were killed as the result of an attack in Minab, in Iran’s southern province of Hormozgan, according to state broadcaster IRIB, which said 48 more...

Other figures say 40. Posting for clarity but whether it’s 85, 40, literally any number big or small, a dead child is a dead child. They didn’t do anything. We are not the good guys here.

One day I hope this will feel outdated.

We’re nowhere near there yet.

The most probable result of the SAVE Act's passage:

The U.S. Senate must be clear: no war with Iran.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.
