Attacking Iran fits with Trump’s desire to divert attention from his failures at home: his losses in the courts, his unpopular budget bill, millions of people protesting against his authoritarianism. When he feels humiliated, he gets reckless. Understand what's going on.

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...

They didn’t bomb Iran last night because of intel. They did it on a hunch…like a drunk betting the mortgage on a long shot at 3 a.m. Problem is, this one might pay off in body bags, not winnings. Never trust Trump’s vibes. Several bankruptcies have shown they’re usually wrong.

Republicans want you to forget they’re ripping health care away from over 16 million people while Trump wages a new endless war against Iran. That’s Republican leadership for you.

Trump’s attacks on Iran were based on vibes, not new intel, two administration officials tell Rolling Stone. “There is no intel,” one of the sources says. “The intelligence assessments have not really changed.” www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far: A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.

Netanyahu has spent the better part of two decades trying to strong arm the United States into an unprovoked war against Iran and finally found a president stupid enough to do it for him. Unbelievable.

it takes a special brand of political incompetence to see millions of people marching against the opposition and not do anything to seize that momentum but it appears dem leadership has decided to do just that

40 years ago, the Love Boat featured a transgender character, and it turns out the character ends up treated better by the media then than a lot of what you see today. No calls for cancelling the program, no conservative media outcry. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mgkW...

Six former CDC vaccine chairs are sounding the alarm—and we better listen. The U.S. is on the brink of losing access to life-saving immunizations. When science is attacked and trust is eroded, lives will be lost. This is not a drill. This is a national emergency.

Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium. ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

Everything that is happening and will happen with Iran is a direct consequence of Trump’s first-term decision to shit on American diplomatic credibility by impulsively shredding a hard-won nuclear agreement.

At a time when we desperately need to bring down the temperature, the president of the United States is deliberately turning up the heat. His thirst for chaos and division is dangerous and deeply un-American.

A huge amount of catastrophic policy right now is being driven by the fact that Stephen Miller grew up in Santa Monica and was furious when a life change pushed him into a school district where he had to share a classroom with Hispanic kids he despised. This is his revenge tour.

Bukele, Trump's new bff, has diverted USAID $$ to MS-13, used MS-13 to get himself elected president, and is actively blocking the extradition of MS-13 gang members to the US. Explains Trump's pivot to the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua. JHFC. #worstpresidentinUShistory

I live in rural America in a "constitutional carry" state. Armed men with guns showed up to intimidate protestors at yesterday's event. Their Facebook posts are filled with comments about how liberals are "evil" or "demons" or "marxists" or "pedophiles." This is language used to justify violence.
