First we had the East Wing, and now this. Fortunately we haven't heard anything lately about the over-sized Triumphal Arch, although I hope this doesn't remind him.

As more and more Republicans find that they can no longer support a gov't headed by a madman and made up of unqualified sycophants, they are ready to take desperate measures.

When we learned of the first American casualties in Iran, I wrote "The deceased might have been our neighbors." Now we've lost 13, and three of them are from Ohio.
After the tragedy on March 1, anyone with a brain knew that more men and women would die if this war continued.
Despite that, Troy Balderson voted to let Trump continue with no guardrails and no concern for American lives. He'll never do the right thing if it means disappointing the military contractors that fund his re-election campaigns.
Today, Troy thanks the dead for serving our nation, knowing they didn't have to die. He promises to never forget their sacrifice, knowing that they signed up to protect Americans, not go to war for Israel's agenda in the Middle East.

No more Americans should die in this war. /1

As a veteran myself, I know the sacrifices these victims made to serve our country. Time away from home. Time away from family. Never being certain you'll get to see them again.
I'm grateful for our service members. And to the families of those we've lost, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry our leaders gambled with the lives of your sons, daughters, husbands, and wives.
I'm sorry they were sent to demolish instead of protect. 
I'm sorry that corrupt politicians and cowards like Troy Balderson allowed this to happen, and I'm sorry they feign empathy when all they care about is power.
The casualties of this war will not be forgotten. Neither will the lawmakers who signed your loved one's death sentence.

The casualties will not be forgotten. Neither will the lawmakers who allowed this to happen. /2

Judge Throws Out Justice Department Subpoenas to Federal Reserve — The Wall Street Journal ‘Abundant evidence’ exists that the subpoenas were designed to ‘harass and pressure Powell’ to yield to Trump, ruling says

Pirro loses another one after judge throws out subpoenas “designed to pressure the federal reserve”.
Judge Boasberg called the subpoenas improper and an attempt to bully Fed Chairman Powell to lower interest rates as Trump wants.

1/ If you want to predict where Trump world goes next, stop guessing and start pattern matching. Hungary and El Salvador show the end state. Ecuador and Argentina show the fast track. Same moves: emergency politics, weaker checks, richer insiders. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

KC-135 Mid-Air Crash Kills 6 — Former KC-135 Pilot Adam Kinzinger Breaks It Down YouTube video by Adam Kinzinger

youtu.be/Q6fXLaCyjPk?... #ProudBlue #USDemocracy Adam Kinzinger a former KC-135 pilot comments on the deadly crash in Iraq. All 6 members of the flight crew are confirmed dead. More and more US service members will pay the ultimate price for Trump’s insane war. Sadly this is only the beginning.

The Epstein circle of fun-loving oligarchs, enablers, and victims has been depleted over the years, many in mysterious circumstances. We need to follow up until the guilty among them are punished and the victims avenged.

Keep up the pressure. Don't let the topic fade.

Primaries have never been more urgent. Survival of our democracy depends on seizing Congress to block Trump's planned gov't takeover. All House seats are in play, even in deep Red districts. Pick the strongest Dem candidate, & back them with $$, get-out-the-vote, whatever you can do.

An appalling (but not surprising) show of ignorance. The Strait isn't defended by warships, it's defended by mines, lots of them. Unless every ship has a mine sweeper escort (not possible: there aren't enough of them) it's suicide to try to go through. Several have already proven this.

Every opportunity to minimize GOP's grip on our government is a step toward sanity & peace. At this point, it's going to be a long struggle. It's urgent. Please, do what you can!

‘OMG’: Pete Hegseth Roasted for Bonkers Answer on Iran Blocking the Strait of Hormuz Hegseth received a fierce backlash on Friday over an answer he gave during a Pentagon press conference over Iran blocking the Strait of Hormuz.

www.mediaite.com/politics/omg... #ProudBlue #USDemocracy Maximum stupidity from Whiskey Pete Hegseth. “The only thing prohibiting transit in “Hormuz” is Iran shooting at shipping”. Wow. Must have spent days figuring that one out. Hegseth is a danger to the US and the World. And an ignorant damn fool

Correct me if I’m wrong, but, isn’t this exactly how the Vietnam War started? You know, sending in an “expeditionary unit”…yeah this is looking all too familiar.

1/ This is the new normal. Billionaires and opaque money are not just buying ads and buying the media. They are buying the social layer of politics through paid posts that look organic. If we do not treat this as a system, it will keep scaling. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

EVEN IN WAR!

Trump's narcissism can't face the negative impact of his policies. He can't be at fault so he denies, defects, & blames others.

Trump will protect his ego even at the risk of ESCALATING HIS WAR with Iran by blaming them for the death of their own children!

If you have 100 people and 1 is in need of food, health or other assistance, Democrats will provide for all of them.

If there is 1 who shouldn’t receive any assistance, Republicans will deny everyone assistance.

This is the reality of Republican values in America under trumpism

Iran was declared an Islamic Republic on April 1, 1979. The Shah fled Jan. 16, 1979. That’s the 47-year reference in this absolutely absurd TS post by #CF47. I was watching NHK 1 pm news when the full piece went up on the screen.

The boast heard round the world!

This is hard to watch.

ICE and Police are still stirring up shit. Now in Vermont, they threw small women around, shot pepper balls willy-nilly, tossed flash grenades, smoke bombs, and even ran over protesters with SUVs, parking on them, and then just drove the fuck on.

Iran telegraphed that victory in this war for them is oil at $200 a barrel. What does this mean for us everyday folks?
Forget the "cost of living"—this is the cost of existing. When oil hits $200, the math of the American Dream stops working

I am hoping the French will exercise restraint and not retaliate as difficult as that will be to do. Millions were lost in the last world war and ww3 would be worse.

I missed this yesterday.
The ROTC instructor, Lieutenant Colonel Brandon A. Shah, was killed at Old Dominion University yesterday.
The shooter also injured two US Army personnel before the students restrained him and beat him to fucking death.
