Trump multiple times just today has said the country is at war. War can only be declared by Congress, and Iran posed no imminent threat. What Trump is doing there is a textbook illegal war and impeachable offense β€” if we still had a Congress.

Contrarians Combat Trump’s Wrongdoing at Home and Abroad Fighting on all fronts: Publisher's Roundup 57

Every accusation is an admission. Trump is wasting a billion dollars a day to fight an endless supply of cheap drones.

The truth is this…

The Trump administration is pushing to expand grazing on public lands while reducing its already low cost, under the false premise that it will fill America’s coffers.

Wealthy ranchers are profiting β€” at the expense of taxpayers.

A US Senator committing assault and breaking a Marine veteran's arm.

By "deescalation" he means lifting and pulling as hard as possible, literally picking a large man off the floor and applying as much force as possible to remove him while his arm is trapped. This criminal assault is on film. WATCH THE VIDEOS.
