No Democrat should vote for a single penny of a military appropriation for the Iran War until they first get to vote on a Declaration of War.

Republicans to Democrats: We started a war so now you have to agree to additional DHS funding without ICE reforms.

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:

kind of astounding to consider that Trump won the 2024 election to a significant extent because Biden's support for Israel became so politically toxic, then he decided a good governing strategy would be to become full on a client state of Israel

Two days into the war: - three F-15s shot down - U.S. embassy in Saudi Arabia in flames - six U.S. service members confirmed dead; more wounded - State Department tells Americans to flee the entire Middle East

“.. A prolonged campaign against Iran could also produce a failed state with enriched uranium, destabilize crucial oil routes, threaten Gulf allies, trigger a refugee crisis, and disrupt the global economy.” @theatlantic.com www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...

Trump administration officials acknowledged in closed-door briefings with congressional staff that there was no intelligence suggesting Iran planned to attack US forces first, two people familiar with the matter said reut.rs/46ybyTg

Just a matter of time before one of our more putinized Trumpers calls this a "special military operation"

Everything goes in cycles in American politics, and when this MAGA cycle ends soon we must not forget the CEOs, law firms, and media elites who bent the knee to Trump and sold out America for money, power, and access.

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

for those of you who werent adults during iraq, its hard to overstate how much the media loves war porn. they salivate over pentagon spin briefings. they love stories about all the bombs and how supposedly infallible they are. they love the notion of the commander in chief, in the situation room etc

Trump promised no new wars and has engaged in military action in Iran, Venezuela, Yemen, Somalia, Nigeria, Syria and Iraq. Trump promised to end the Russia-Ukraine war in 24 hours. It's still raging a year later.

Press gave Biden far worse coverage for a small number of American soldiers dying while leaving a war than to Trump for a similar number dying while starting a war for no reason. It makes you think!

That's a fact - Donald Trump would be in prison if not for our corrupt system. #TrumpCrimeFamily

Up is down is up

OMAN FM: Iran agreed to zero enriched uranium stockpiling, hours later Trump & Bibi attacked them 🤔

4/9. The Iranian operation in 2020 was designed to help Donald Trump get elected.

Hey remember when all you amoral racists who can’t spell “you’re” told us that Trump was the anti-war candidate, bc the billionaires who control right wing media told you to think that? Billionaires got their tax cut. We got wars. Now go figure how to pay for groceries rent & medicine this month.

I think it’s time to acknowledge that Trump is a sadist. He likes harming people, killing them: - USAID vaporization, 10m dead - Killing people on high seas - ICE terror regime - Cutting health care, food assistance to tens of millions - Iran War, backing genocidal Putin

Obama signed a peace deal. It was working extremely well. Trump ripped it up and started a war instead.

Now that the Supremes have humiliated Trump, it’s time to invade the Falkland Islands, I mean, bomb Iran.

Will be referred to as Operation Epstein Fury

ABC: “The toll from a strike on a girls' elementary school in Minab in southern Iran has risen to 64 dead and 92 injured, according to Iran's semiofficial Tasnim News Agency, which cited the local governor.” abc7ny.com/live-updates...

Donald Trump in 2012:

Why are women predominantly being asked to answer for men’s crimes—and why are perpetrators not being held accountable? ⬇️

One family is about to control CBS, CNN, HBO, and TikTok. They’ll buy Warner Brothers with $24 billion from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Abu Dhabi. To win over Trump, they canceled Colbert, blocked a 60 Minutes CECOT investigation, and blocked Talarico. Much more will follow. Block this rotten deal.

It's incredible that from the moment Roger Stone created an organization called "Stop the Steal" in 2016 (not a typo), the GOP strategy to use propagandistic lies to justify stealing elections has been carried out in plain sight. It's the most transparent ploy imaginable, and it might work.

The bottom line on this: Media figures are unable to grasp the possibility that most ordinary people don't agree that undocumented immigrants are dangerous criminals, and don't reflexively see them as inevitably locked in zero sum conflict with US citizens, so they think this just *has to* resonate

Brought to you by the Admin who says “it’s not a crime to party with Mr. Epstein” … a document manifest showing 4 interviews the FBI conducted with a woman who accused the President of sexual abuse as a minor. If there’s nothing to hide, why are they hiding these documents? ⬇️

It's kind of wild how explicit it's gotten: the GOP is the party for people of low moral character. If you're a scumbag, a grifter, an abuser, or a predator, it will welcome you and defend you. Low moral character is not a barrier; it's a desideratum!

To be totally clear—as I point out in the piece—this indicates the DOJ wanted this woman to help them in a child sex trafficking criminal investigation or prosecution against Donald Trump. They took her seriously.

"The woman who directly named Trump in her abuse allegation claimed that around 1983, when she was around 13 yrs old, Epstein introduced her to Trump who subsequently forced her head down to his exposed penis which she subsequently bit. In response, Trump punched her in the head and kicked her out."

“Yesterday, I reviewed unredacted evidence logs at the Department Of Justice. Oversight Democrats can confirm that the DOJ appears to have illegally withheld FBI interviews with this survivor who accused President Trump of heinous crimes." - Rep. Robert Garcia in a new statement

“I heard the officer say ‘that ain’t shit’.” NASHVILLE — ICE shatter a car window in front of a newborn, refuse to look at man’s license & work visa… drag him out of his car, hit him, mock him for being Guatemalan (he’s from Mexico), laugh when he begs to say goodbye.

“Just five days after Jeffrey Epstein’s arrest in the summer of 2019, federal authorities ‘directed’ NYPD to ‘stand down’ its investigations related to Epstein, new documents released by the Department of Justice show. …” Part of this comprehensive new Timeline by @rgoodlaw.bsky.social

When will anyone ask WHY Judge Aileen Cannon tries always to protect Trump? A woman whose husband worked for New York City mobster and Trump pal John Rosatti, now a judge who consistently rules for Trump. Not one reporter will dig into her history? She's beyond the presumption of normality.

So not Antifa? www.tmz.com/2026/02/22/m...

Sigh!

I can answer this one. The president of the United States is dangerously psychotic and no one in his political party will say it, nor will 95% of American media.

‘We’ll make you disappear’: Dem lawmaker demands answers on disturbing FBI tip about Trump

Why are folks not asking more questions about this FBI complaint in the Epstein Files? www.justice.gov/epstein/file...

Incredible opinion. It holds that the common ICE tactic of jumping out of an unidentified rental vehicle and seizing suspected noncitizens while masked violates the Fourth Amendment because the *manner* of the seizure is incompatible with a free society governed by the rule of law.

Democrats can now credibly call for the repeal of the Trump tax cuts and the clawing back of the additional ICE funding as a way of offsetting the revenue loss from the ending of the illegal tariffs.

Unilateral tariffs ruled illegal. Millions of Americans struggling to get by. Epstein Survivors waiting for justice. A President threatening war with Iran. What are Republicans running next week? Two home appliance bills repealing energy efficiency standards. That is the state of our union.

Donald Trump owes American families a refund.

so we paid the tariffs and now the corporations that passed the costs on to me and you are the ones that are going to be reimbursed, do i have that correct

It remains astounding how unfaithfully the media covers Trump’s ramblings day to day. We’re a decade into this — and his rambling gets worse — and yet the coverage continues to portray his public appearances as if they’re coherent.

These words by Supreme Justice Gorsuch should be printed, in full, on tomorrow’s front pages.
