The Senate GOP has released its version of Trump’s “Big Ugly Bill” & it’s worse than the House’s version! Use @5Calls.org to demand your Senators oppose this monstrosity - this is uber critical in Red states!

It now looks like Trump plans to unilaterally join Israel’s war against Iran. Please contact your state’s senators & representative to demand Trump abide by the Constitutional mandate that only Congress can declare war!

Iran was negotiating. With the complicity of the US, Israel launches a massive surprise attack on Iran, killing many, including Iran’s chief negotiator. Now the US demands Iran “make a deal” to avoid complete destruction. Who would you say are the aggressors here?

Israel likely just started a war with Iran. Trump either preemptively gave Netanyahu the “green light” to do so or Bibi will extort the US into defending Israel from Iranian retaliation. In either case, not good.

I pray that the National Guardsmen & Marines now in LA heed the profound words of former Joint Chefs Chairman General Mark Milly. Obey the Constitution, not a “wannabe dictator!” youtube.com/watch?v=9to_...

We may be at an inflection point in our nation’s history. Do not give them what they want. Resist. Stay strong. Stay nonviolent.

Earlier today in LA. Of course, this is just what they want & are already calling it “insurrection.” Get ready for what comes next.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia has been returned to the US, but is being charged with “human trafficking.” The head of the criminal division of the US Attorney General’s Office in Nashville resigns in protest. Two steps forward, one step backward! aaronparnas.substack.com?utm_source=n...
