In Texas Cities, Let a Hundred Mamdanis Bloom Our state has long-term lessons to learn from the New York socialist’s rise.

From our magazine: Texas and the State of Texas are not exactly oneβ€”this sprawling place we call home contains five of the 15 most-populous cities in the country. All lean to the left, all see their power currently suppressed.

US military says three of its troops killed in first Iran operation casualties Three U.S. service members have been killed and another five have been seriously wounded, in the first casualties of the unfolding U.S. operations against Iran, the U.S. military said on Sunday.

Reports indicate at least 100 children have already been killed in strikes on schools. That is unconscionable.

Three U.S. service members are dead as a result of this entirely preventable war of choice.

The blood of these service members, these children, and every civilian rests in Trump’s hands.

The fact that we bombed a school, killing innocent school children, makes it clear that Netanyahu was involved in the planning of this attack.

3 American soldiers have now been killed because the president wants you to stop thinking about all the children he raped.

WELKER: If there is a war powers vote, will you be a yes?

SEN. MARK KELLY: Well, I'm gonna have to take a close look at it. I want to hear from the White House what their strategy is going forward. I would say at this point it's rather unlikely that I would be.

Khanna: "Trump said the Iraq War was a disaster. He said Libya was a disaster. He ran bc a big part of the MAGA base did not want another war in the Middle East. They rejected Lindsey Graham, & yet here we have Lindsey Graham being the face of Republican foreign policy. I believe this is a betrayal"
