The President does not have the authority to make this decision. There is no imminent threat to America from Iran. He cannot take this action without congressional authorization. I will not vote to give him that authority, and I likely represent the majority of Congress.

A reminder that Donald Trump withdrew the United States from the Iran nuclear deal on May 8, 2018 during his first term. The irony that he’s screeching about making a deal now is lost on MAGA.

Harry Enten on Trump's bill: "The amount of disapproval for this bill -- holy cow, my goodness gracious! We're talking about 29 points underwater ... we're talking about a negative 41 net favorability rating among independents. You rarely ever see proposed pieces of legislation as unpopular"

After threatening additional sanctions multiple times over several months, Trump just decided he will just throw a lame excuse out and be done with it. Our foreign policy is an absolute joke and nobody except Israel and Russia can count on us.

Either the Director of National Intelligence lied in her testimony before Congress, or Trump is lying now. It is that simple. Will any Republicans in Congress say a word? Nope. Will media splash huge stories about it and lead with it? Nope. Just another day in Trump’s America.

Seems kind of unhinged & bizarre for Trump to post to a city of 10 million people yesterday that everyone should “immediately evacuate” it. The leader of nuclear power allied with another nuclear power at war with them telling every person that they must get out right away. Nuts.

Trump rolls into the G7 summit complaining about how mean they are to Putin, trashes America on foreign soil, confused the EU with the UK, dropped papers on the ground, trashed Tucker Carlson, accomplished nothing, then bailed early to escalate a war. MAGA!

In other words, it was a total failure and Trump is bailing because as a negotiator he is total dog shit despite the fact that his cultists think otherwise, so he will get back to the new war he’s gotten us into.

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered. Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again. Their inaction is deadly.

Reporting puts the crowd at 10-35K—so that’s the first lie the Pentagon tells here. The second is that, if real, the photo is from after the Trump birthday parade, when people gathered in an enclosed space for a nonpartisan fireworks display. This is intentionally misleading, and DoD knows it.

It's pretty notable that mainstream, establishment discourse never ever ever considers giving liberal politicians credit for crime reductions. It's almost axiomatic that if crime goes down under a center-left leader it's either unremarked upon, or must be driven by something else.
