😕

Can someone help Pinocchiogles understand how immigration works pls

Kim: The vast majority of what I hear in these classified briefings can be said publicly, but they intentionally do this to as a tactic to be able to prevent the American people from hearing and questioning what it is that they're doing. They know that the American people do not want a war

Since I wasn’t clear in my last post, lemme try again: WOW. A democrat got enough votes to force a runoff in this very red district. That it’s even close is bananas. This is MTGs old seat.

Trump talks about men dying & “walking around with no legs, no arms” and this man holds the nuclear codes! Meanwhile, PM Mark Carney reminds us that Canada won’t support the carnage of war & that diplomacy, caution & humanity still matter! “Respect the rules of International Engagement” #SheShed

This race isn’t over. Northwest Georgia showed up in a BIG way, and now we head to a runoff. Momentum is real. The coalition is growing. Let’s finish what we started. On to the runoff. #GA14

NEWS: Democrat Shawn Harris has forced a runoff in the special election for Marjorie Taylor Greene’s deep-red Georgia seat (Trump +37). With ~70% in, Harris leads with 38.3% to Trump-endorsed Republican Clay Fuller’s 34.5%. Runoff set for April 7. A major warning sign for MAGA.

Sun Tzu (D-NY) - “When your enemy is making a mistake, fix it for him at great cost to yourself.”

“In my 15 years in the Senate, I have never left a briefing this angry. We are heading down a path toward sending U.S. troops to Iran as ground forces,” — Sen. Richard Blumenthal

Carl withdrew from the nomination process today.

This is clearly fine with the GOP.

This is a two way race.

If you still condone this administration, you're a special kind of stupid. We bombed a school filled with young girls. Gas just jumped 40 cents. Not to mention the cost of American lives. I'm beginning to think Bibi is Bubba. What's a few more trillion?

August 7

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public. I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are. 1/ Here's what I can share:

Historically, wars start with huge public support. Trump couldn’t even clear half the country. 41% That’s not “rally around the flag.” That’s America saying this war looks like a reckless stunt that’s going to cost us all.

I’m so excited that Democrat Shawn Harris is going to a runoff against Republican Clay Fuller in MTG’s district in Georgia! Time to flip the seat blue! 🥳

Trump said this week that Iran was 2 weeks away from having a nuclear bomb. This is what he said in July.

The FIRST major bar disciplinary proceeding against a high-profile Trump Regime official has commenced against Ed Martin, the pardon attorney & former Interim US Atty for DC. I detail the allegations & the impact of this accountability on other Trump law-lackeys. youtu.be/OCZqbKuETQo?...

Tweeting hateful garbage doesn't magically make you an American—or a real Christian. Christian Nationalists are unable to assimilate; they all have to go to hell. (And quickly.)

Congratulations to Delaney Kay Frierson for winning the Democratic Primary in Clarendon County District 2 race tonight! Now onward to the general on May 12! #VoteBlue #ChallengeEverySeat

This is the guy who likes to downplay non-fatal injuries suffered by US service members in combat.

They hate me because I fight. They attack me because I win. I will do everything I can to protect free and fair elections. I will never back down.

Dumbest news of the week so far, and that’s saying something

We shut down USAID but: www.mediaite.com/politics/pet...

Schatz: We don’t know for sure, but the likely bombing of an elementary school with one of our Tomahawk missiles is not a one-off mistake. It is the result of a change in policy so that the United States has way looser rules of engagement — way more tolerance for civilian harm.

Not really breaking any news here.

It’s already clear that Hegseth is going to blame Iran for the bombing of the girls school since it was located near a military base, just like many American schools.

youtube.com/watch?v=njHR... SO PROUD OF SHAWN HARRIS SO LET'S GO GEORGIA Special Election Run-off on April 7th..! #GA14 @shawnforcongress.bsky.social Vote for your own interests Not trump's Fuller is a carbon copy trump. #SHAWNHARRIS GO TO: shawnforgeorgia.com Donate please !!

“I’m going back to South Carolina and I’m asking them to send their sons and daughters over to the MidEast.” — Fucking rot in hell, Lindsey Graham

If Trump relied on Jared Kushner’s opinion that Iran was weeks away from a nuclear bomb when making his decision to go to war like he claims, that totally makes sense because Kushner is the most reliable source for intel on Iran nuke capabilities.

JUST IN: Democrats flip a seat in the New Hampshire state House. Dem Bobbi Boudman has won today’s special election, NHJournal reports. (Boudman was the Dem nominee in 2024 & lost by 14%; Trump won here by 9%.) This is Dems’ third legislative flip so far this year, after Texas and Arkansas.

It's looking increasingly like these guys thought that if they could wreak more death and destruction than the other side then they would be respected as strong powerful men and they would "win" and that would make them big important heroes. Very possibly they had no rationale deeper than that.

Congratulations to Shawn Harris, a decorated U.S. Army combat veteran endorsed by VoteVets, on advancing to a runoff in #GA14!

Well things have gotten much much much much stupider

Thinking about the six lawmakers who told the military they don’t have to obey unlawful orders.

Mockler: The neocon boomers surrounding Trump are mortgaging my generation's future for another very expensive Middle Eastern war. We tried this with Iraq. We tried this with Afghanistan. It left us in trillions and trillions of dollars in debt.

Great news! Three high school mariachi musicians and their parents have been freed from federal immigration detention facilities in Texas after lawmakers from both parties pushed for their release. Eighteen-year-old Antonio Gámez-Cuéllar had

Apparently, Kegseth hasn’t destroyed their ability to drop truth bombs.

Anyone else have the feeling that Trump has already floated the idea of the Navy escorting tankers through Hormuz (to the Navy) and they told him no, but he can’t admit that the threat is not eliminated?

🔵 Democrats flip another seat in the New Hampshire State House. Democrat Bobbi Boudman wins a special election in a Trump+9 district, after losing the same seat by 14 points in 2024. A 13-point Democratic overperformance.

Mockler: I also find it very ironic that Republicans are so welcoming to any form of bigotry but the moment that bigotry is targeted towards them, they freak the hell out

Since Trump’s election: 🔵 Democrats have flipped 28 state legislative seats 🔴 Republicans have flipped 0

Sen. Coons: The clearest winner from this war in Iran is Russia. It's stunning that Trump is on the phone with Vladimir Putin and spending more time consulting with him than he is with Congress and the American people.

Newsweek: As the U.S.–Israeli bombardment of Iran continues with no end in sight, the economic shockwaves are already hitting American farmers, with some struggling to buy fertilizer and gasoline prices rising. #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed #VoteOutRepublicans

That’s the point of his voting bill, is to keep democrats from ever voting again, therefore a republican takeover. Hey trump you can take that dream to your grave because pedophile republicans are the ones who will never hold the office president again! #SheShed youtube.com/post/UgkxW-b...

Schulz: I don’t begrudge any American asking, “Why the fuck are we doing this when I can’t even afford a house? How the fuck do we suddenly have hundreds of billions for a war I don’t even understand—how it helps us, or why I should feel any threat from this country?”

Important info to know about the SAVE America Act. It addresses a problem that is non existent. The only part of this bill I agree with is that you have to show your ID when you vote and as far as I know we all have to do this already. It is voter suppression. bipartisanpolicy.org/article/five...

Leavitt confirms that the current "ballpark" total of US soldiers injured fighting Iran is 150

BREAKING: As many as 150 U.S. troops have been wounded in the war with Iran, according to sources familiar—far higher than the Pentagon’s publicly disclosed figure of just 8 seriously wounded troops. The true toll of this war is already far worse than the public has been told. (Reuters)
