Under no circumstances should Dems provide money for the Iran War. It becomes a ratified war approval. They should not game out being tough on Iran in ads or whatever. Do the right and Constitutional thing.

You can have the best armed forces in the history of the world, but if you are an incompetent criminal without a plan, you can still lose a war, and rather quickly.

Perhaps his fear center in the amygdala was activated while his reasoning center in the prefrontal cortex was impaired? Or maybe he just became mean and weird.

A whole mess of Order in Council appointments here but the one that really stands out for me is the reappointment of David Yager as a member of the board of directors of the Alberta Energy Regulator for a term to expire on April 25, 2031. Really? #abpoli #cdnpoli www.alberta.ca/release.cfm?...

The immune system is not a muscle. It is a cleansing fire. It causes collateral damage. It has a limited supply of fuel. It can get out of control. Don’t burn your whole house down every time by catching every disease without caution.

Difficult times call for cooperation and dialogue. But our voting system keeps giving total power to parties that only a fraction of voters support. On 30% of the vote, one party could win full control of our economy, health, foreign policy and defence. We can't take that risk.

The Democratic Party is directly enabling the war by praising the assassination of Iranian leaders, refusing to condemn the aggression, and approving massive military funding.

This is a two way race.

Now feels like a good time to remember that Big Oil is the reason why we're still hooked on dirty, dangerous fossil fuels. The industry's lies have essentially stolen a generation’s worth of time that we could have used to transition to cleaner, safer energy sources. It’s time for accountability.

Russia has been sharing satellite imagery of U.S. warships and aircraft with Iran, helping Tehran target American forces. Ukraine, in contrast, has deployed specialists and low-cost drone interceptors to help protect the U.S. and its allies. Russia = our enemy 🇷🇺 Ukraine = our ally 🇺🇦

Every elected and appointed Republican in all levels of government belongs in prison for the rest of their lives. The GOP must be abolished and banned from existing anymore as a political party. They are a terrorist group.

If you didn’t voice your opposition to this war, we will hold that against you on Election Day. If we can’t replace you this time with someone who did, we will continue to try. The primaries will not be kind to you. Ever again.

To be clear: Hungary, an EU member state, has publicly admitted to seizing a Ukrainian bank convoy for the express purpose of blackmailing Ukraine. And the EU is just... silent. Imagine the outcry if the roles were reversed?!

The Rachel Maddow Show Russia is pin pointing US troops and military assets and giving the information to the Iranian military. Also because of the oil debacle in the strait of Hormuz, the US has relaxed oil sanctions against Russia allowing them to fund their war against Ukraine.

💔 At least 4 people lost their lives and 16 were injured in Sloviansk (City in Ukraine), including a 14-year-old girl. Russia is a terrorist state!

With Ukrainian Interceptor drones and Combat Experienced AFU soldiers in Middle East now protecting US and Gulf States assets against Iranian drones with Russian navigation systems, it's safe to say that Ukraine has provided more military aid to the USA than the US provided to Ukraine this year.
