Warner: "When the president says to the Iranian people, 'Rise up. This is your chance to take your country back,' what happens if 100,000 Iranian citizens go onto the streets of Tehran and the IRGC forces, which are brutal, murder 20,000? Does the US have an obligation there?"

What can you even say? These people deserve their inevitable humiliation and the nation deserves journalists with more self-respect.

This regime just does illegal stuff - like start a war without congressional approval- and basically - who is going to stop him? This is why we have a constitution. To put a check on his power. And he just dares people to stop him. Or sue him. I can’t believe we are living through this

"Suppose Democrats say we need to stop Trump, that he is a runaway dictator, and we need a check on his power by returning Congress to the Democrats. His tariffs are increasing prices, and he is off on foreign adventures"

States Move to Limit Access to H.I.V. Treatment

this will be a public health disaster.

We could end the transmission of HIV this year. That has been true for a decade. That we have not done so is a public policy choice.

It's a good thing that MCU reboot will probably focus on the X-Men first, because I damn sure wouldn't want to be the one trying to sell a Captain America or Iron Man movie in all this.

Launch a war that jeopardises the safety of over half a million Americans from Jerusalem to Dubai? βœ…

Send a histrionic alert after the fact telling them all to β€œDEPART NOW?” βœ…

Pause to ensure that we have the capacity to evacuate our own citizens? ❌❌❌

Clown show.

I think the trick is to make it look like you know how to make money when what you actually have is rich parents.

OF COURSE Iran is fighting back!

OF COURSE the conflict is spreading!

What did they think would happen?

The US is being run by half-wits…

Is anyone clear on what, if anything, the US is doing to get Americans out of the Middle East?

Are they seriously just waiting for people to contact an embassy and hope for the best? Because it looks like there was no real evacuation plan before Trump escalated a huge conflict in the region.

Ossoff: "The president owes Americans a real explanation. 2am posts on Truth Social just aren't good enough when you're sending Americans into combat. He was dancing at his beach club the same night he ordered air crews to launch into combat & hours before our service members endured missile salvos"

I don't know which countries the US will go to war with in the next 100 years, but I do know they will all be armed with US manufactured weapons.

Chris Murphy: "It's just so disgusting to listen to the president be waxing poetically about the drapes he's buying while there are six Americans who are dead. There are six families who are about to bury their children because of a war of choice that no one in this country wanted, an illegal war."

Ubereats, Uber, Doordash etc should be illegal. The people who own these companies are monsters. Also loving this record at the moment.

Trump doesn’t have a plan for Iran

Trump is already bored with Iran

He’s at a party, and then he’s off to play golf

You sort it out

Everything with Trump is practically always "ahead of schedule" or "two weeks..."

When will the media figure out that he's a liar.

I need to remind people. The midterms have never been so important.

Don't let people use scare tactics or make you think it won't happen.

Also if voting didn't matter, gerrymandering wouldn't exist.

Rubio just said a president doesn't have to get Congressional Authority to send us to war.

This entire administration is lawless, top to bottom.

Over a month has passed since we demanded information about the Minnesota children held in federal detention facilities. We have not received a response.

We will not stay silent while Donald Trump and Kristi Noem imprison children.
