We should all be Howard Beale. (Or Congressman Jared Huffman)

Congressman Jared Huffman Our troops are being told that war with Iran is part of a biblical prophecy for Armageddon that Trump was anointed by God to carry out. This is what happens when Christian Nationalism infiltrates the government. And people are dying because of it.

Reps Jared Huffman, Jamie Raskin and Chrissy Houlahan, led 27 of their colleagues in requesting the DOD Inspector open an investigation into reports and claims of Hegseth “invoking religious prophecy and apocalyptic theology to justify the United States’ military actions in Iran”

“On March 6, Jared Huffman, Jamie Raskin, Chrissy Houlahan, and 27 other lawmakers formally asked the Defense Department Inspector General to investigate whether extremist biblical rhetoric has seeped into the military chain of command.” And? #ShedShed #Armageddon Great read. References cited.

Finally someone with the balls to stand up to this madness! 👏👏👏👏👏

The American people are the least of their concerns? Remember this when it's time to vote! If they aren't there to work for the American people vote them all out! Every. Single. One.

Former counterterrorism chief says he was blocked from investigating Charlie Kirk’s killing Joe Kent says that Charlie Kirk warned him to ‘stop us from getting into a war with Iran’ in their final conversation

Insanity! Members across all branches of the U.S. military have reported being told things by unit commanders such as, "the war is part of God's divine plan" & that, quote "President Trump has been anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armaggedon and mark his return to Earth."

This should be a much bigger story! bsky.app/profile/ffrf...

YES! 👏👏👏👏👏

Ben Meiselas on The MeidasTouch Podcast winning the iHeartPodcast Award: “When we see injustice, we call it out with moral clarity. We’re not afraid to call out fascism when we see it. When we see ICE and Border Patrol on our streets killing our people, we call it out.“

Maddow: How is Jared Kushner's role in the U.S. attacking Iran not more of a show-stopping scandal?

This week Trump is going to try to ram through the Senate his bill to take over state elections so he can rig the vote in his favor. As he becomes historically unpopular, he’s getting desperate. We cannot let this bill pass.

I highly doubt you are — or will ever — hear accurate casualty numbers.

Release the damn files!

HELLO? What a shitshow.

But Bill Maher said if we opposed the war we're just being partisan hacks -- rather than being legitimately concerned that it's being run by dilettantes, cosplayers, and reality show weirdos.

My new one the pernicious voter suppression bill that the likes of Mike Lee and Rick Scott lie about repeatedly newrepublic.com/article/2077...

This unqualified, incurious, kneejerk, incompetent political tourist is up to his buzzard eyeballs in the find-out phase of FAFO.

While dropping off his kids, federal agents detained an Afghan refugee who served alongside U.S. special forces. He died less than 24 hours later. This is the 43rd death in ICE custody since Trump retook office. We need accountability and justice for all those who’ve died under their watch.

Iran is trolling Trump again. Hard. This is what happens when global politics becomes reality TV.

Absolutely disgusting.

Never forget who owns Trump. I think it’s safe to assume Putin has copies of the Epstein files. www.rawstory.com/raw-investig...

Schiff: "We are now giving Russia $140 million a day by releasing them from these sanctions when Russia is providing intelligence to Iran to better attack and kill American troops. It is rewarding Russia and punishing Ukraine."

Are we fkn great again?

What the actual fuck?

If you saw this happening in another country, what would you call it? www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

Explain it to me like I’m five… 🤬

The Iran war is causing a sharp rise in the price of jet fuel, a major cost for airlines that will soon be passed on to travelers.

Wahls: The war in Iran is going to be devastating for farm states like Iowa. You mentioned diesel — that is what the vast majority of farm machines, like tractors or combines, run on. And the cost of oil not only has a huge impact on fuel costs, it also has a huge impact on other farm inputs

The cost of Trump's Iran War could more than cover: -The daily cost of Medicaid for all 16M people expected to lose it under the Big Ugly Bill. -Daily food stamps for all 41M people who rely on them. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

Well, Russia and Kazakhstan will just have to get in line behind all the others who have Poodle Trump on a leash. Ex-KGB officer says Russia has compromising material on Trump www.msn.com/en-gb/news/w...

BREAKING NEWS: If you've been following this war, you know how bad this is as a matter of escalation into utter chaos.

Trump does not have the authority to start a war in Iran. And yet, he’s moving in the direction of committing ground troops. If Republicans in Congress do not want to serve their constituents or their constitutional duty, they should just resign.

Exactly.
