A mad king’s illegal war on Iran is a cry for regime change ... in Washington | Will Bunch
Democracy really did die in darkness as Donald Trump’s unconstitutional war on Iran stamps America as a dictatorship.
Will Bunch: My instant reaction at 3 a.m. yesterday was not whether Khamenei would be killed or oil prices or anything else but this. This undeclared, unexplained war is illegal. Full stop. 28 hours later, it is still the worse abuse of power in U.S. history. www.inquirer.com/opinion/trum...

Why Attack Iran?
Our Authoritarianism and Our Corruption
How to understand war with Iran? We must get away from propaganda. Facts suggest two interpretive frameworks: a foreign war as a mechanism to destroy democracy at home; and a foreign war as an element of personal corruption by the president of the United States.

The FBI being on high alert for terrorist actions is important right now.
Too bad they fired and gutted their counterterrorism capacity

They use the excuse of wanting freedom for the Iranian people yet they allegedly killed over 100 school kids in addition to the ‘supreme leader’. They don’t care one bit about the people. They don’t care about the people here or the people overseas. Just another crisis to cause fear and obedience.

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1.5 trillion.
Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits.
The military industrial complex is cheering today.

Donald Trump just started a war and is plotting to steal the 2026 election. Meanwhile, his buddy David Ellison just won control of CNN.

I said it from his first administration that this guy is going to lead us in to war. They told us they were going to do that and somehow it was still allowed happen. War on people in our own country and war on other countries. You know, ‘do unto others’ and all that crap.

If the president could unilaterally change federal election law without Congress, it would destroy the design created by the Framers of the Constitution, says Cato’s @thomasberry.bsky.social.

If President Trump tries to take control of the midterm elections by executive order, he'll be defying the Constitution in an attempt to trample the authority of Congress and the states and the rights of voters. The time to draw a line is now, says @walterolson.bsky.social.

Why is everything and everybody that doesn’t agree with Trump “radical left“?? He’s out of control with the things he says, and he needs to be removed from office. I’ve never seen such a divisive figure in our country. Lock him up.

I’m so sick of this administration. I hate them trying to tell us what to do to better accept the administration hurting us. There’s so many people out there that can’t afford housing or food and yet these morons think they can tell us how to accept that easier. 😠

Wow: the President of Columbia University is *directly refuting* the Department of Homeland Security’s claims.
DHS told us that agents “verbally identified themselves” & wore badges.
“They did NOT and would not identify themselves as NYPD.”
Shipman here says agents pretended to be police:

🚨 SCOOP: Trump told the country he wants “homes for people, not corporations.” At the same time, his allies were circulating a bill that could block states from stopping Wall Street from buying up houses in their own neighborhoods.

Aliya Rahman attended Trump's State of the Union address as a guest of Rep. Ilhan Omar.
She was arrested and ejected from the gallery for simply "standing up" in protest.

Trump’s ICE Is Quietly Stockpiling Weaponry—and It Should Alarm Us All
In addition to staffing up at a furious rate, ICE and CPB are acquiring a vast cache of weapons from private contractors, new data reveals. This will not end well—or anytime soon.
Appalling: ICE and CBP contracted for $144 million in weaponry and accessories in Trump's first year, per data obtained by Sen Adam Schiff.
For ICE it's a fourfold increase, much of it for military-style weapons. A heavily armed secret police force. 1/

Lying for 2 hours straight won't solve any of the issues he's been underwater on for months. Everything is more expensive, corruption is rampant, and the Epstein Class gets richer while you get screwed. The lies you heard tonight won’t matter in November.
