The war in Iran has already cost $22.8 billion. For $22.8 billion, we could: • Provide Medicaid to 6.8 million kids • Build 2.6 million public housing units • Fund Head Start for 1.3 million • Hire 240,000 teachers • Cancel $20,000 in student debt for 1 million borrowers

Happy St Patrick’s Day! St Patrick’s Cathedral in Dublin and the supposed location where he baptized people in the 5th c. Changed from Catholic to Anglican in 1537 with the Reformation. Largest church in Ireland.

Hurting consumers is the last of our concerns.

Every time a person tells me “me too has gone too far” I scream in their face “THEY PUT A PEDOPHILE RAPIST IN THE WHITE HOUSE, YOU LEMMING”.

Stunning how Trump’s first term included his Covid management and that horrifying, history books making year, and it is basically not up for debate that term 2 is severely worse

It’s crystal clear now that Trump has lost control of this war. He badly misjudged Iran’s ability to retaliate. The region is on fire. 1/ I’m going to explain to you in this🧵what I’ve learned - in part from closed door briefings - about the four biggest current crises.

Every life lost in the Iran War is completely unnecessary and a tragic waste — all of it the fault of Donald Trump, Pete Hegseth, and Marco Rubio:

Almost like it was a mistake to alienate all of our allies with idiotic trade wars, and then launch an actual hot war where we needed their help gcaptain.com/trump-calls-...

depressingly accurate analysis of the situation

republicans are in charge of everything and they are getting everything theyve ever wanted and doing everything theyve ever wanted and the world is on fire and the global world order is collapsing. is there a correlation? who can say

“We want to change the rules of the next election so Democrats don’t win anymore”

Israel’s war causing violence against American Jews who have nothing to do with it.

How hard is it to say STOP THE WAR Why are so few people saying that

Tell Congress: Stop Trump's War with Iran

"Jews don't belong in American society." Imagine a sitting member of Congress tweeting that. You can't. Thankfully, it'd never happen. And *if* it did, it'd be the end of their career and the biggest story in America. But Ogles can say this about Muslims without any censure.

I just left a classified briefing with the Trump Administration about the war in Iran. I was worried before, but I’m more worried now.

Trump is lying. I serve on the Intel & Armed Services Committees. There’s no intelligence that Iran posed an imminent threat to the U.S. or the American people.

Still unbelievable

Sounds bad

I’m struck by how every day the admin is like “whoever could have foreseen these consequences?!” when the consequences thus far — evacuations, the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, rise in gas prices, etc. — are all the literal most obvious consequences.

Horrifying yet predictable since Christian Nationalists are in charge. Still shocking to see their extreme ideas causing actual war.
