Netanyahu said that "Israeli attacks have set back the Iranian nuclear weapons programs at least two or three years". Why attack Iran after Israel has already done so? Trump wants conflict. Trump wants Iran to retaliate against US bases in the Middle East. Trump wants war.

What am I worried about? -Safety of 30k US troops in the Middle East -cybersecurity (since CISA was recently gutted) & homeland security (as HLS focused on immigration) -Economic strength (oil prices and tariffs) -Allied assistance (we’ll need that now) -Domestic intell (leadership at FBI/DNI)

Trump is now bombing Iran. Here are multiple clips of Trump campaigning against endless wars, Middle East conflicts, and boasting that he will stop World War III.

So… People seem to think that we’re just done now? We bombed the shit out of three nuclear sites in a country we weren’t at war with, and that’s just… it? Oh, my sweet summer children.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

Donald Trump said no new wars. Remember that tonight.

Bombs 3 nuclear sites and then says “Now is the time for peace”? This is an escalation that will lead to more death. Congress must reconvene immediately to stop the President from pushing us into war.

I am looking for congressional leaders to come out quickly and forcefully against this. We need unequivocal opposition. We need theatric demonstrations of defiance. We need to see leadership. Trump will steamroll us all if we display weakness. Where are our leaders?

The Middle East is on fire and who's at the helm? Donald Trump fired experienced experts and replaced them with loyalists who won’t challenge his “instincts.” And it’s created blind spots and groupthink, leaving our nation more prone to catastrophic miscalculations. We’re in a very dangerous place.

And just like that, the ‘No New Wars’ people are all-in on a new war. Proving yet again that they really believe in nothing other than what one man tells them to believe today. Which could be different tomorrow. The very definition of a cult.

Rachel Maddow: “If Trump wasn’t getting the intelligence that Iran is on the verge of a nuclear weapon from the intelligence community… who is he getting it from? Israel?” The right question. And pretty obviously the right answer.

Imagine the Republican freakout if Biden sent secret police to red states to grab anyone with a gun just to check and make sure they’re allowed to have them. Where are the “don’t tread on me” folks in all this?

I don't think we're in a democracy anymore. Unmarked secret police kidnapping people off the street? A dictator mobilizing the military against civilians? Defying court orders? Ignoring due process? Arresting political opponents? Democracy has left the building. We CAN & MUST get it back, though.

Holy shit. India’s Foreign Secretary just shut down Trump’s claim he brokered peace between India and Pakistan. Modi told him: “There was never any discussion… about a trade deal or U.S. mediation… India has neither accepted mediation, nor does it do so—and never will.”

Seems worth remembering just 5 days ago Trump’s Secretary of State @marcorubio said we weren’t involved — and now today Trump is saying “I said let’s go” and taking credit (?) for Israel’s war with Iran. Bernie: “Netanyahu is not the president.”

Trump wants to go to war with Iran for something he is directly responsible for—Iran's resumption of of the enrichment of uranium.

Hot take: the way Tucker grills Ted Cruz in those clips should be the rule not the exception. If more of the media did this we would be in a much better place* (* = It should go without saying that we are not and never will be Tucker fans)
