Key line in Robert Kagan's piece: “You would never know, as The New York Times churns out its usual policy-option thumb-suckers, that the United States is well down the road to dictatorship at home. That is the context in which a war with Iran will occur.” The hit on NYT is well placed.

He was humiliated last weekend. This weekend he bombed someone. My guess is there is a relationship between those two events.

Wait but I was told by Susan Collins that the "precision strike" bombings were "decisive" and that they will help prevent a "broader conflict." #MEpolitics

I’ve made the case that presidents don’t need congressional approval for certain kinds of Article II military actions. I don’t think Trump can make that case here, but Johnson arguing that the threat was so imminent that Congress literally had no time to vote is just silly.

Medicaid isn’t “welfare.” It’s chemo. It’s oxygen. It’s a child’s seizure meds. You kill Medicaid, you don’t just “cut spending.” You kill people. #DontKillOurMedicaid

Landry Bell, born with Down syndrome, wriggled in his sister’s lap outside Sen Mike Lee’s office as his mom begged lawmakers not to gut Medicaid. Landry & Little Lobbyists—kids w/ complex medical needs—spent the day crisscrossing the Hill to say: our lives are not expendable. #DontKillOurMedicaid

My mom and I both live with cancers that are treatable with cutting edge therapeutics. Without these medications, these cancers, leukemia and ovarian cancers would be fatal. Donald Trump and congressional Republicans are trying to defund our access to healthcare. #DontKillOurMedicaid.

The guy who’s selling off our public land to “drill baby drill” and to big corporations is worried about windmills ruining “the beauty of the environment.” The hypocrisy is so blatant it’s excruciating.

Trump said you can measure a presidency by the wars you avoid, and for once he was right. Saturday's Iran bombing was the exclamation point on his abject failure Trump is copying dictators from Mussolini to Putin in seeking glory through pointless war.

It seems a lot of people in Trump’s base are finally realizing Donald Trump lies and has no ideological consistency other than the amoral pursuit of power. He will do and say anything. There is no central value system to betray, because he has none

Americans can NOT rely anymore on US #MSM news sources that got co-opted by the Trump's regime. Stay informed with trusted, unbiased news from around the world (links below). Start with BBC News for clear, accurate coverage that is not just propaganda. Get the facts you need—no spin, just the truth

Swalwell: You were promised lower prices on day one. How many of you are feeling those lower prices? You were promised an end to all wars on day one. How many of you have seen an end to those wars? Donald Trump is 0 for 150. He made those promises on day one—and now we’re on day 150.
