the media likes trump, likes war, and so crafts their coverage to try to help trump (who they like) start a war (a thing they like). easy to see in their coverage today where a token, pre-annoucned and de-escalatory strike by iran that hit no targets was covered like it was pearl harbor

Millennials (30-44) are crushing it yet again. Gen X (45-54) can get wrecked yet again. Jesus Christ I am begging Gen X to stop trying to ruin this country. Electing Trump was embarrassing enough, you poseurs.

It’s outrageous that a masked ICE thug can punch a man in the face and escape consequences anonymously. That’s not America. America is for the thug cop to be identified and THEN escape all significant consequences for lawless brutality after a brief period of paid leave bsky.app/profile/news...

Honestly, even the Chinese and Russians never made me do this to get a visa. Even the North Koreans, who made me hand over my phone for the duration of my visit, never made this demand.

It’s funny because the person I associate most with Gen X is the MTV VJ Kennedy, who I grew up watching every day. She is now a Fox News star lol. What happened to that generation? They were supposed to be against corporate sellout nepo babies yet can’t get enough of Trump and Cuomo.

In case you wondered why Trump can't afford to pay for disaster relief: they are diverting disaster relief money to fund concentration camps

I don’t understand why people are dragging Kamala Harris into this conflict with Iran. She’s not the president. Also, people conveniently forget that Netanyahu didn’t want her elected. Even so, if she did what Trump did, Republicans would be tripping over themselves to file impeachment articles.

I'm glad Menendez was forced out & now faces the legal consequences of his corruption & treason. But I don't understand a system in which this happens, while the Republican President of the United States commits the same crimes, on a level orders of magnitude worse, & faces no consequences at all.

They’re preemptively trying to blame Biden for any attacks on Americans that result from Trump’s war. Absolutely desperate.

Kind of wild that in the final 24 hours or so of preparation for war with Iran, the Vice President took time to travel all the way to Los Angeles to publicly make a racial slur against a United States Senator

Joe's point accompanying Jeff's thread is critical. Let's not beat around the bush. Iran would not have been attacked if they had a nuke. They know it. (North Korea knows it. Ukraine has learned it from hard experience.) They didn't just kick the hornets nest, they may have triggered a new arms race

NYTimes has a long history of holding conservatives—including its paid columnists, like Stephens here—to absolutely no standards whatsoever, but still worth noting the complete lack of ethics required to not mention how 99.99% of Iran's uranium stockpile was due to Trump withdrawing from JCPOA.

honestly does seem like the basic dynamic in american politics right now is that a critical number of voters treat Democrats like their (nagging) mom or their (bitch) wife and treat Republicans like the “cool” dad or husband who is at best a deadbeat

Totally accurate. And then you've got the media off to the side making it seem like the way to not get hit is to keep quiet and do what daddy says.

What stage of creeping authoritarianism is it when we have masked secret police with no identification beating and kidnapping minorities in the streets to force them into prison camps with no rights and no due process? Seems like … a bad stage?

Trump bombing Iran was illegal and unjustified. I ran for Congress to make sure our leaders consider the true costs of war. And I will be in the Senate, standing on my titanium legs, demanding answers from Trump. My statement:

Correct. When Trump withdrew from the JCPOA in May 2018, he made it the policy of the United States that every country should have an active nuclear weapons program. Today he made it clear they need to develop functional nuclear weapons as soon as possible. Nothing else can prevent a U.S. attack.

Donald Trump is an extremely stupid man with very few real policy preferences who has simply done what mainstream conservatives have wanted 80-90% of the time since he has entered politics. They have wanted to bomb Iran. He bombed Iran. Pretty straightforward.

Something I’d note is that while there is criminal immunity for “official acts” for the president, no such immunity exists for the deputy chief of staff.

can’t overstate how shoddy the actual work is. “the framers didn’t think black people counted in the constitutional order” falls apart with a single question: “well what did they think about all the free blacks that most of them lived around, encountered, and even hired for work?”
