The U.S. Senate must be clear: no war with Iran.

So, it was Iran? Not China? Not Venezuela? Not the radical left?

We are living inside the minute-by-minute delusions of a madman.

Todayโ€™s military strikes on Iran โ€” carried out by the United States and Israel โ€” mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war.

My husband made me cry tonight

I was cooking our dinner, which I do every night because I love cooking, and I accidentally burned the pork burgers. I didn't mean to but I got distracted trying to make the sides. I felt so defeated trying to open windows up to get some smoke out and my husband walked in the kitchen and stared at me. I just looked at him like idk what to do. He walked over and kissed me on the forehead and told me he appreciates me cooking dinner for him every night. He told me we can scrape the burned part off no harm no foul and he was so excited to eat the dinner I made. I burst into tears. He's the most loving, caring, and kind human I know and the little things like tonight just make me so happy to have him. I grew up with a mom that blew up about everything and my husband heals that part of me that feels like I can't do anything right. He's truly my favorite person. That's all. Nothing major

but wanted to get it out there.

You don't have to accept less than. You too can have a partner that appreciates you like this.

โ€œAs a final message to our warriors, the Ivy League faculty lounges may loathe you, the so-called elite of academia may mock your patriotism and disdain your sacrifice, but never forget that we the War Department have your back.โ€

First of all -- fuck you, Pete. None of this is happening in the faculty lounges of your fever dreams.

Second, I've taught military personnel in our PhD programs and if you think slamming the door to Harvard and Princeton in their faces is "having their back" you're even dumber than you sound.

Frost: โ€œTrump needs to come before this committee. He's been caught in multiple lies as it relates to his relationship with Epsteinโ€”

It's not just that I resent having to turn your AI agent off every three days because you refuse to respect my settings: I also want its ugly-ass annoying logo and constant reminder of its existence to vanish from my UI. I don't want it, I don't want to look at it, I don't want to think about it.

Deamonte Driver, a 12-year-old Marylander, died from a preventable tooth infection. His story moved Sen. Cardin to fight for dental access. 19 years later, Iโ€™m continuing that workโ€”letโ€™s pass my Medicare & Medicaid Dental, Vision, and Hearing Benefit Act.

This is murder. ICE routinely deposits released detainees far from their home just to be cruel. Itโ€™s standard practice. To do this to a blind man on a wet cold winter day in Buffalo is to know you are potentially sending him to his death.

Weird they dragged in Hillary Clinton when there's another First Lady right there in the White House who actually knew Jeffrey Epstein.

Senator calls for DEA to provide info on "incredibly disturbing" Epstein drug investigation Federal drug enforcement investigators targeted Jeffrey Epstein and 14 others in a yearslong probe first reported by CBS News.

This is a big one. A newly uncovered document has revealed the existence of a mystery Epstein investigation. It was spearheaded by the DEA and involved drug trafficking and money laundering. Epstein was one of 15 targets. The other 14 names are redacted. I've got questions.

Zohran launched $30/hr snow-shoveling jobs with $45/hr overtime, and Republicans mocked him.

Not only were sidewalks completely cleared within a day, but he did exactly what taxes are intended to do: take taxpayer money and invest it in people while producing results that benefit everyone.

Gov. Abigail Spanberger: "The scale of the corruption is unprecedented. There's the cover up of the Epstein files, the crypto scams, cozying up to foreign princes for airplanes and billionaires for ballrooms, putting his name and face on buildings all over our nation's capital."

Unsurprising but disturbing reporting: DOJ withheld and removed Epstein files referencing Trump, including interview notes tied to sexual abuse allegations against him.

Regardless of the status of these allegations, Pam Bondi continues ignoring the law requiring her to disclose all documents.

Two hours later, and Trump didn't mention Epstein once.

To the survivors in the room, it was a reminder of who he protects and who he forgets.
