Americans live in a country where the leader can order the murder of anyone he wants, and doesn’t even need to explain why. The rule of law is gone. Republicans killed it.

It’s insane this is legal. People around Trump are profiting off war and death. I’m introducing legislation ASAP to ban this.

Donald Trump Launches a War of β€œEpic Fury” on Iran The U.S. and Israel have ignited a campaign to topple the Islamic Republicβ€”with little thought to what comes after.

NATO keeps watchful eye on Iran’s response to β€˜existential’ war NATO’s missile defense system was initiated over 15 years ago and developed in phases over time with a ballistic missile threat from Iran in mind.

NATO’s missile defense system is on alert as Iranian attacks take aim at an unprecedented number of U.S. military sites across the Middle East. It’s still unknown whether Iran will attempt to attack targets farther afield.

Deeply conflicted, Kushner represents the U.S. in high-stakes negotiations with Iran Today in Geneva, Switzerland, Jared Kushner will represent the United States in meetings with Iranian officials β€” a last-ditch effort to avoid war.

Just a reminder: instead of an actual diplomat, we sent Trump’s deeply compromised son-in-law as the lead negotiator to avert war with Iran.

~45 minutes outside Minneapolis this afternoon, a small but spirited crowd is gathered to protest outside the gates of Sherburne County Jail.

According to organizers: the jail has held an average of 131 ICE detainees daily for nearly 20 years. As of 2023, the jail makes $110 per detainee per day.
