I just watched a clip of the Secretary of the Liquor Cabinet telling the media this morning that reporting on the 6 U.S. service members, who were killed in Trump's Iran war, is an example of the news media "trying to make Trump look bad." 🙄

If this is upsetting to you, demand that he is censured. Senate switchboard: (202) 224-3121. Contact Your Senators, or drop Sen. Sheehy a note and let him know how this makes you feel. www.sheehy.senate.gov/contact/shar...

Holy shit MT Peeps- Daines is out. Anyone know anything? What is going on…#MTPol

Fetterman tried to answer questions from reporters yesterday and had a hard time to put it mildly

This is why red states have higher voter apathy. Always shenanigans. I feel bad for these folks just trying to exercise their constitutional right to vote and having to deal with this mess. Info in 🧵

Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks. They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors. Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption. Watch how they vote this week.

If this is Armageddon, I hate to point out that makes Trump the anti-Christ

EXCLUSIVE: At more than 30 installations, U.S. commanders told troops the war on Iran is a Christian war. The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been “inundated” with more than 110 complaints. One NCO said they were told the U.S. war is to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus…

@oversightdemocrats.bsky.social exactly how many U S Embassies are to suffer attacks before we see Secretary Marco Rubio testify before Congress for I'd say at least 22 hours since a predecessor sat through 11 hours after only one embassy attack?

Breaking - US consulate in Dubai has been hit and is on fire @cnn.com

The Republicans seem to be prepping an argument that any domestic terror attacks in the aftermath of their Iran attacks will be the fault of Democrats for shutting down DHS funding, so I'd like to remind everyone of this appointment:

🤥 @KristiNoem today: “I didn’t call Alex Pretti a domestic terrorist.” FLASHBACK: she sure did 👇🏽

lol lil marco

How come “How are you going to pay for it?” is never asked about endless war?

Republicans stay fighting against the Nazi accusations. Accusations prove true every time

I feel like if I was the candidate infamous for having a nazi tattoo, I probably wouldn't pose for a photograph next to a man wearing an "88" t-shirt. I think I'd probably wanna make it real clear that I had nothing to do with that man or his views.

Not only *did* they start this war, they have no idea how to finish it.

What matters for China the most: Positive for them: US busy, uses its military reserves at scale Europe busy (between Putin and Trump) Taiwan opens up BUT: Strait of Hormuz traffic went down by 70% today. 45% of their crude oil goes through the Strait of Hormuz. Their next choice - Russia.

🪦 Donald Epstein🫣Trump

Are you implying a Fox News host is not qualified to be the Defense Secretary? He's probably played hundreds of hours of Call of Duty.

They died for his bribes.

Trump and Hegseth both opened the door to boots on the ground in Iran today. Who the fuck voted for that?

“Epidemiological data is being used politically and selectively to create a scapegoat for routine infection rates that rise and fall…” says RFK Jr.’s BFF, Leslie Manookian. No, Leslie. Measles was eliminated in the U.S. It’s easy to be an anti-vaxxer because you’re not confined to facts.

😲 Qatar says they shot down two Iranian Su-24s

CENTCOM now says 3 F-15s were shot down by friendly fire over Kuwait. All crew members are alive and in good condition. 🤦‍♂️

Look, it’s pretty simple. No one with a functioning prefrontal cortex who has watched Trump the last 10 years is cloudy about this: There is no action he can take…or will… that is in the best interest of the American people. He. Is. Not. Capable.

These guys cannot get their stories straight

Channel 4 reporter Kermani to the Israeli Foreign Ministry Spokesperson, Israel is shocked to have their propaganda disrupted: "The Iranian regime have done terrible things, but your Prime Minister is a wanted war criminal. You don't have the moral high ground here at all."

Just paid $401 for 3 prescriptions copays - used to be$50 With Medicare n blue cross advantage plan - I commented “ thank you trump” and cashier spit out her coffee !

I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds. I support neither imperialism or dictatorship. Sahar Delijani said it best:

For over a month, NYC nurses stood firm and refused to accept half-measures. It was a privilege to join them on the picket line then, and an honor to join them at the bowling lanes to celebrate their victory with a few mores strikes.

So they have no plan. Got it.

I am a veteran with a son who currently serves. I don't blame her one fucking bit. But I damn sure have a shit ton of smoke for those who pushed out Joe Biden, sat at home, voted third party, STILL protesting Harris and the folks who flat out told those canvassing they can't vote for a woman. So

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

People who’ve never served are often the quickest to start dropping bombs without a plan for what’s next. The American people have seen this play out before and they’re tired of it. Trump is sending our servicemembers into harm’s way without a clear explanation or an end goal.

Shoot me now

It is a choice to defend a system rather than reform it, even when the evidence echoing through calm but desperate 911 call logs shows a pattern of harm. At some point, a society that claims to value human dignity has to confront its own contradictions.

So how, exactly, have we let this happen? First, we have normalized cruelty in the name of immigration enforcement. What was once unthinkable detaining infants and toddlers in prisonlike conditions far from family, lawyers and the public eye has become bureaucratic business as usual.

The Mayor of Portland, OR after ICE shot tear gas into a crowd “To those who..work for ICE: Resign..Through your use of violence and..trampling of the Constitution, you have lost all legitimacy and replaced it with shame. [G]o home, look in a mirror, and ask yourselves why you have gassed children”

Most coherent way to view the Trump second term is as a mass project of settling scores, not just his but conservative’s writ large. Obama, Biden, VRA, Venezuela, Cuba, the 14thA, the Ayatollah, feminists, liberals, avenging Nixon, fucking PBS. Spiritual enemies since before most of us were born

Miller

This is not a joke. If Iran actually has long range ballistic missiles like Trump and Witkof claim, Mar A Lago is a prime target. Actually a well placed missile would make the world a better and safer place than it is now. And solve a whole plethora of domestic problems. #USDemocracy #ProudBlue

everything about this is so unspeakably evil and rage-inducing, but the fact that a non-zero number of Republicans believe Ayatollah Khomeini and Ayatollah Khamenei are the same guy makes me want to S C R E A M

Muurrriicaa

So we’re just going to spend billions in bombs, kill the Ayatollah, temporarily degrade their military, then walk away and hope they learned their lesson? That’s the plan?

"The state’s investment in schools was valued at roughly $100M less than it was more than a decade earlier. ... Rep. Luke Muszkiewicz said that [the 2025 increase] is looking more like a Band-Aid than an investment." www.mtpr.org/montana-news... #mtleg #mtpol
