The video of a United States Senator joining the violent removal of U.S. marine from a hearing and hideously breaking his arm in a door is an example of what has been unleashed in this country. They’re tapping in to get in on the violence. And then he bragged about it on X later.

Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. But right now, they’re under attack. Several Republican-controlled states have redrawn their congressional maps to give themselves an unfair advantage in the midterm elections.

Himes: "Already you see the White House in an absolute panic over gas prices, coming up with wild ideas ... they understand that this terrible decision they have taken is going to end this presidency. We're gonna have a lame duck president for 3 years with 20 to 30% approval."

On Sept 10th, 2025, the flag was lowered 5 hrs after Charlie Kirk was shot. But for our military who gave the ultimate price in Iran for a pedophile and Felon squatting in our WH? NOTHING! Remember, Trump said they were losers just a few years ago. #Voices4Victory #DV1 #Pinks #SheShed

Trump is quizzing people on the Hill on whether or not he should fire Noem. A lot of them are saying yes.

An ICE detainee in Arizona has died of a TOOTH INFECTION after it went untreated for weeks, a local official says. He was a Haitian asylum seeker imprisoned in Florence, Arizona. @emilybregel.bsky.social reports. tucson.com/news/local/b...

BREAKING: The U.S. government must refund all tariffs charged under President Donald Trump's now struck-down IEEPA tariff regime, regardless of whether they filed a suit at the U.S. Court of International Trade seeking a refund, a CIT judge ordered Wednesday. www.law360.com/artic...

😡😡😡😡

Rep. Moskowitz can be seen wearing a "JUSTICE FOR CRICKET" pin as he questions Kristi Noem

It’s looking increasingly likely that Kristi Noem and Lewandowski funneled almost 200 million in government money to a company that is run by her friend and that nobody can give an address for. Oh, and it was 8 days old when it was awarded the contract.

📌If you are still confused by Trump's justification of this illegal war, it might help to know that the dog he regularly kicks, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, hasn't the slightest idea, either. FUBAR

🚨BREAKING: Hundreds of Democratic voters in Dallas and Williamson Counties, Texas scrambled to find their polling places Tuesday after the local Republican parties refused to hold a joint primary — ending more than a decade of convenient countywide voting. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

WELCH: Mr. Yoho is also the husband of your former spokesperson, Tricia McLaughlin? NOEM: Yes WELCH: So your former assistant and her husband are the ones that got the DHS no bid contract for $143m. Any dispute about that? NOEM: No.

For years on my old blog I published the names of servicemembers who died in Iraq & Afghanistan. No other outlets were. These are the first 4 Americans to die in the Iran War. Capt. Cody A. Khork, 35 Sgt. 1st Class Noah L. Tietjens, 42 Sgt. 1st Class Nicole M. Amor, 39 Sgt. Declan J. Coady, 20

SUPER SHOCKED: Israel and the Saudis lobbied Trump to start the war. As @maddow.bsky.social asked: who benefits? www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

CNN put together a montage of the regime's incoherent talking points about Trump's war on Iran

Sen. Booker to Kristi Noem: "Either you are utterly incompetent, or you are violating laws with impunity. You should step down from your position. If you don't, you should be removed by this president. And if not, Congress should impeach you."

wow -- Tillis goes ballistic on Noem, telling her "what we've seen is a disaster under your leadership"

NEWS: Americans were told to evacuate the Middle East — but the State Dept is not helping them do it. We called the State hotline. First thing you hear is an automated message: "Do not rely on the U.S. government for assisted departure or evacuation."

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

Q: Commercial air travel is severely restricted in the Middle East. Thousands of Americans are stranded. Why wasn't there an evacuation plan? TRUMP: Because it happened all very quickly

Pete Hegseth: “War is hell and always will be.” Tommy Tuberville: “It’s war, it’s gonna git worse before it gets better.” Markwayne Mullin: “War is ugly.” Mike Johnson asked why War Powers Act is being ignored: “It’s not a war because it’s defensive in nature and design.”

Maybe it’s a bad idea to put people in charge of government who are eager for the rapture.

Is anyone clear on what, if anything, the US is doing to get Americans out of the Middle East? Are they seriously just waiting for people to contact an embassy and hope for the best? Because it looks like there was no real evacuation plan before Trump escalated a huge conflict in the region.

Ted Lieu Is 💯% Correct.......

After being found in the Epstein files, this Russian politician came down with a sudden case of the blues and Epstein’ed himself with a Luger pistol. These new American oligarchs need to pay attention as they may be Epstein’ed, too. #ProudBlue #tRumpsteinFiles www.thedailybeast.com/russian-busi...

Pentagon tells Congress no sign that Iran was going to attack US first, per Reuters

The US Embassy in Riyadh seems to have taken a direct hit. No idea on casualties, but it looks bad. Hope it was evacuated.

What can you even say? These people deserve their inevitable humiliation and the nation deserves journalists with more self-respect.

The US embassy in Saudi Arabia is currently on fire. Somebody kick Hegseth off his barstool. Somebody else just kick Rubio. Fuck these guys. Seriously. Fuck these guys

"You can assume, because it's common sense" -- Mike Johnson claims Trump's war on Iran is actually defensive because if Israel attacked Iran, Iran was going to retaliate against the US

Q: Is there any point you think Congress will need to give congressional authorization? MIKE JOHNSON: My understanding of the law is that the president is acting well within his authority. It's not a declaration of war. It's not required because it's defensive in design.

Haha! They’re throwing Vance under the bus.

Q: "Do you think that Donald Trump should be deposed by this Committee?" Hillary Clinton: "Absolutely." "Donald Trump has been held civilly liable for sexual assault by a jury of his peers … That is behavior that fits a pattern if one were looking for a pattern."

Gallego: "Young American men and women are dying because of these idiots"

Gallego: "There's a lot of ways we can be supportive of Israel. But we don't need to go to war for them, especially when it's a dumb war."

MARGE: " Pete Hegseth said this morning that we didn't start this war. But...America and Israel definitely started this war...I am irate. I am furious about this. We are nearly $40 trillion in debt. How much is this war going to cost us?" 6 Americans are dead

This is actually a pretty good summary of where we’re at, and how we got here.

Trump looks and sounds absolutely depleted today. He's so weak. He would hate if you shared these photos taken earlier with your followers.

PRESIDENT EISENHOWER: “We must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence of the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists.” #NoWarWithIran #IranWar

Trump: "Finally, we honor one more American soldier, a fallen warria of world. Of wars. And really, terra.”

A striking thing about Trump's social media activity over the past 24 hours is that from it you'd barely know we're at war. He's been posting news articles from over 2 years ago, spamming posts w/ positive reviews of his SOTU speech, & now posting stuff like this. The guy really lives in a bubble.

Both Saudi Arabia and the UAE lobbied Trump to strike Iran. Both countries have major financial ties to Trump & his son-in-law Jared Kushner. War gives dictators like Trump (and his family) more power and more wealth. Period. https://popular.info/p/the-money-behind-the-new-iran-war

Watching Trump joke around in his usual narcissistic way, it's clear he has absolutely no appreciation for the graveness of what he's just unleashed on the world. And joking about giving himself the Medal of Honor when he's put thousands of US service members in harm's way is especially abhorrent.

Trump on the Medal of Honor: "I tried for myself. I've tried numerous times to get one by myself. I keep getting shut down."

a smiling Hegseth shakes hands and chuckles following a White House event on same day the military announced the 4th death of a US soldier fighting Iran

whoa -- this is new. Trump has a significant rash-like injury on his neck today in addition to his disfigured hand (Saul Loeb/Getty)

Starmer: "I will not permit, I will not commit our military personnel to unlawful action. That is not what they would expect and deserve. They are entitled to better than that."

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