The concept 'substantive due process' has been a wriggling can of intellectual worms for 150 years. It has chiefly served to suppress legislation to advance the interests of workers and consumers.

A Republican politician in the state of Mississippi actually using logic and reason, and having the backbone to defy the President shouldn’t be shocking — but it is.

Trump’s top general foresees acute risks in an attack on Iran The Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman has said that a lack of munitions and allied support could mean greater danger for U.S. troops, people familiar with the talks say.

The Obscenity-in-Chief has failed in his role as C-in-C to work with the Congress to ensure that the Armed Forces have munitions sufficient for sustained combat.

This. And it’s primarily due to MAGA being formed on Twitter during Obama’s second term. Once Trump could see how many likes, and retweets, he could get from questioning Obama’s birth certificate, this country was cooked.

people keep saying trump is in “mental decline”

he’s not dropped far below his very best.

hes always been stupid, vapid, selfish, violent and bigoted. always

Barack Obama successfully de-escalated Iran's nuclear program through the 2015 (JCPOA), which imposed strict limitations on uranium enrichment in exchange for sanction relief. This diplomatic approach was later reversed by Donald Trump in 2018. This is FACT! WHY, TRUMP?

Repubtards Lie about Obama!

This would be the only thing on Fox News for years if this happened under a democrat who unilaterally started an illegal war for no reason

Yes, the next President will have to live in Blair House until the White House is fumigated and restored to its historic grandeur.

💯 we do understand that. Actually upset the Republican Nazi party doesn’t understand we do understand.

The irony of W's high dudgeon about an ill-advised invasion is painful.

For me, as a veteran, one of the most disgusting things about Trump is how he will exploit the deaths of people he calls suckers and losers to manipulate his cult of faux patriots.

Putin’s friendship has limits — as Iran just found out Leaders in Damascus, Caracas and now Tehran have all discovered that Russian support only goes so far.

For Tehran, Moscow’s lackluster response should come as no surprise

I’m still focused on releasing the Epstein files. Trump just added multiple layers of bullshit that are also legally dubious. We’ll get to it all eventually.

This is the correct framing.

Not "It's great that we took out the ayatollah but the war is a bad idea." That's weak-ass GOP framing and guaranteed to not work.

But "Obama had a deal with Iran and Trump torpedoed it so he could start a war" is accurate and effective.

What makes this even weirder is that Hegseth is using the wrong word. If you attack an enemy position, individual enemy combatants who escape and run away are called "squirters." What's Hegseth's talking about--a missile that makes it past all defenses to hit a target--is a called a "leaker."

The man doesn’t even have command of the English language—how the eff is he allowed to blow up the planet unchecked?

ENOUGH! @schumer.senate.gov screw the terse letters.

Take your gloves off and fight—or move aside.

A reminder that Trump also murders US citizens.

Donald Trump Warns ‘There Will Likely Be More’ U.S. Service Members Killed amid Attack on Iran: ‘That’s the Way It Is’ Donald Trump has warned that 'there will likely be more' deaths after it was confirmed that three United States service members had been killed amid the U.S.-Israeli attack on Iran.

War may result in casualties, but this war was a choice, not a necessity. The blood of those lost is the direct responsibility of the Trump and his chosen path to start a war.
"There likely will be more casualties, oh well, thats the way it is."
Have some f'ing couth!

Donald Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" is triggering a healthcare crisis across rural America, forcing hospitals to close maternity wards, shutter clinics and lay off staff and those consequences are now threatening Republican control of Congress.

The Obscenity-in-Chief wants the IRGC and the Iranian Army to 'surrender. ' To whom? Why? Their formations have suffered no substantial losses and are well supplied. Their leadership is still largely intact. Blowing up buildings does not destroy an army. It will be a long war.

"There is literally no evidence of widespread fraud in any state’s elections.
There is literally tons of evidence that the president of the United States, aided and abetted by prostrate Republicans, plans to try to preserve GOP majorities in November by changing, bending or breaking election rules."

Trying to reinforce the process of “The President needs Congressional approval to declare war” is not a tacit endorsement of said war with objections only to how 47 went about it.

Laying the plan out before Congress would be the time to say “No New Wars.”

The constitutional process is important.

Uh... NO. He has a lot to prove and improve.

There is nothing within this shambling mass of blasphemy, falsehood, and indecency except more blasphemy, falsehood, and indecency.

He is a kind of Tulpa; the howling, empty, black holed heart of the entire Republican Party made horribly manifest.

Just remember that Trump, Vance and the GOP ran on not starting wars.

Another thing, apparently, negotiating with the US is just a tactic for bombing campaigns to commence in the middle of them, and not good faith exercises in diplomacy.

War With Iran Has Begun. Where Does It End? Trump has launched combat operations despite little public support and widespread fears among allies.

"During his presidential campaigns, Trump reassured his supporters there would be no more “forever wars,” and that the U.S. wouldn’t be bogged down in the Middle East. But with the launch of air strikes this morning, the U.S. is once again on the front lines of conflict there ..."

Replenishment of munitions is a real problem when a belligerent is expending them at combat rates. What is the regime's plan for sustainment?

Who benefits from Trump’s war in Iran? The answer is disturbingly clear There's no four-dimensional chess here. There's just the president, and what we know he's like.
