Our incompetent POTUS bombed some empty Iranian warehouses to try and recoup his forlorn image from that sad military birthday parade. Would have been cheaper and just as effective to throw rolls of paper towels at them.

In a perfect world, the decision to drag our country into war with the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism isn’t made by a draft dodging former reality tv gameshow host “president” and his day drinking former weekend tv “news” host Secretary of Defense.

“Forget about intelligence” is a pretty good mantra for this administration

HIMES: “I had not seen any intelligence as a member of the gang of eight to suggest that Iran had taken the decision to build a weapon. I don't think there's any intelligence out there that suggests that that's true.”

Remember how many of you voted for no more wars and lower gas prices? Don’t worry, we won’t let you forget.

Genius! I want to be friends with this guy 😂

The American people were lied to about Vietnam, with tragic consequences. The American people were lied to about Iraq, with tragic consequences. The American people are being lied to again today. We cannot allow history to repeat itself.

#BlueskyResistance #Voices4Victory #ProudBlue IMPEACH, CONVICT, REMOVE… we must unify behind this message. Leave no room for doubt about what we want. We won’t settle for anything less.

Kamala was right & Tulsi has some crow to eat.

If you’re an American should watch the Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown ep on Iran. A deeply humanizing look at a country full of people just like you and me. I watched it after Anthony died and it moved in ways that are hard to relay. I also immediately ran out to try kabob koobideh and tahdig.

Aged like milk.

The senate parliamentarian says the provision in the Billionaire Bailout Bill that requires hefty security deposits for preliminary injunctions and TROs breaks senate rules. www.huffpost.com/entry/gop-ta...

"Bishop Pham — who celebrated Mass at St. Joseph Cathedral before hopping on a bus to the federal building — said priests would return for similar 'walks in solidarity' at immigration court..."

#ProudBlue Yeah, I’ll pass!

Congress, Now More Than Ever, We Need Your Cowardice

These ICE agents are an embarrassment to law enforcement. Imagine being so afraid of being a public servant that they have to cover their face. Under no circumstances should any arresting officer be lawfully allowed to shield his/her identity.

Really the only thing members of congress can do is call for impeachment because trump's attack on Iran is illegal. Without GOP support, though, those things can't happen - but that shouldn't stop them from calling it what it is.

If Democrats truly want to appeal to young men, they should probably start presenting themselves as the party that definitively *won’t* draft you into an illegal war.

Yet again America is bombing the Middle East and yet again we the American people are given a very lame excuse as to why.

Ranking Member of House Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense, Congresswoman Betty McCollum, issued press release: Trump’s unauthorized bombing of Iran was unconstitutional because Iran posed no immediate or direct threat to the USA #ImpeachTrump mccollum.house.gov/media/press-...

the thing with Mamdani is that he’s obviously an incredible political talent - the campaign he’s run has been extremely impressive even if you don’t like his policies the party should be delighted, and that they’re instead pulling out all the stops to beat him speaks volumes

NEW: The DHS has issued a heightened terror threat for Americans. Good thing we have that 22 year old former gardener in charge of counterterrorism and DHS is busy with mass deportation. www.dhs.gov/ntas/advisor...

As our nation girds for possible Iranian terrorist attacks, this is the person Trump put in charge of terrorism prevention. 22 years old. Recent work experience: landscaping/grocery clerk. Never worked a day in counter-terrorism. But he’s a BIG Trump fan. So he got the job.

Resistance will take many forms in the days and months ahead.

The United States never has enough money to keep people alive at home but always has enough money to kill people overseas.

In LA, we have the right to film law enforcement in public spaces, as long as we do not interfere. Arturo Hermosillo says he was arrested for doing exactly that. He was in his van when he saw an older woman, a local tamale vendor, lying on the ground during an immigration raid & started recording.

Iran is moving to shut the Strait of Hormuz? Who could have seen this coming besides pretty much everyone? I'm sure the resulting higher gas prices will be blamed on Biden and Obama. www.politico.eu/article/iran...

The fact that our military was perfectly happy to use weapons abroad in violation of the War Powers Act doesn't bode well for us when they are asked to use weapons at home in violation of the Posse Comitatus Act.

The Russians, who have been murdering Ukrainian civilians and bombing cities for three years, are suddenly very worried about "gross violation of international law" and "global and regional security" www.themoscowtimes.com/2025/06/22/r...

God is DONE with anyone who isn’t emphatically: 1. Anti-war 2. Against sexual harassment Can God get an amen?

We are being lied to

I feel so much safer knowing that 22-year-old Thomas Fugate, a Trump mega fan, is bringing his vast landscaping and grocery clerk experience to the terrorism prevention arena, now that our country faces a possible Iranian terrorist attack. It’s all good, America, carry on with your Sunday!

Excellent

Translation: Book your own flights out of Iran, Americans. We’re not going to help you escape- Even though we’ve given you no advanced warning of our attack and placed you in great danger.

We’re at war with Iran because Trump hated our first Black president, who had already negotiated and signed a deal to keep Iran’s ability to build nuclear weapons in check, with monitoring and verification.

He just dropped $280,000,000 worth of artillery in a war that’s not ours, but our grandparents have to live on Ramen noodles because America can’t afford Meals on Wheels anymore. Make it make sense.

Thousands march through New York City’s Times Square protesting the bombing of Iran.

Congress didn’t just lose its power it gave it away. On war, trade, and policy, lawmakers have willingly let the executive branch rule unchecked.

DONALD J. TRUMP IS A TRAITOR TO AMERICA.

The US establishment is going to learn how out of touch they are with the majority of Americans across the political aisles when it comes to supporting war with Iran.

I was thinking that maybe, more than 20 years after the start of the Iraq war, media coverage would be more skeptical and less sycophantic No such luck

We have a madman in the White House who is actively trying to trigger total war. If Jeffries, Schumer, or any other Democratic leaders try to justify this, shrug indifferently, or write a strongly-worded letter and call it a day, they need to step down or be aggressively primaried.

Congress must impeach and remove Trump. Period.

The enriched uranium was not present at the sites that were hit. That had been moved.

“I’m voting for Trump to avoid World War 3” they said.

it’s even more demoralizing when the history you’re repeating is history you were around for the first time
