We had a bipartisan, classified briefing on Iran scheduled today for Members of Congress—the Trump Administration canceled at the last minute. They're lying to the American people and hiding whatever intelligence they have. It's utter chaos and we need answers immediately.

Mamdani should win but he's the latest example of the Democratic Party closing ranks to keep anyone young and exciting and full of energy out of the party - and then they spend countless millions on consultants trying to figure out why they're struggling with young voters

One of Trump's own military officials admitted that the president himself is the "biggest threat" to the safety and security of our troops because he can't stop himself from posting on social media. We need de-escalation and diplomacy now–U.S. troops are at risk.

I keep wondering about how media coverage of middle east conflicts and wars repeatedly notes how the EU is "sidelined". Shouldn't that read as "not bogged down in that unholy mess"? How exactly is that a bad thing, especially given how the U.S. tried and failed to extricate itself repeatedly?

Tobacco kills, but countries are fighting back! Over 6.1 billion people are now protected by at least one WHO MPOWER measure to reduce tobacco use. From graphic health warnings and quit services to higher tobacco taxes and anti-smoking campaigns, that’s real progress. 👉 bit.ly/46eWPgu #NoTobacco

The fact that the US & UK earlier advised their citizens in Qatar to shelter in place supports the hypothesis that Iran telegraphed, as in the past, its attack on the US base in Qatar so as to limit damage - and therefore to avoid escalation (though the damage is not clear yet).

Wow. 48 hours later, news really seems to have normalized the whole extra-legal, on-a-whim-and-vibe, strategically short-sighted Iran attacks. Already being discusses as "how will it play" and "what's the risk for the Republicas."

JUST HAPPENED: West: “You can’t violate another country’s sovereignty.” Jennings: “Why? We do it all the time. Who’s going to stop us?” He admitted America breaks the law constantly—and then dared the world to do something about it. That’s not journalism. That’s fascism on live TV.

The Supreme Court issued a stay, effectively ruling, for now, that the Constitution no longer applies, at least not to immigrants. Fast-track deportations with no opportunity for judicial review violate the fundamental principle of due process, especially for people already on U.S. soil.

What the Dem party doesn’t understand is that the election in NYC is a test for the 26 midterms. Young people are testing to see if they will ever be allowed to assert their priorities over the priorities of monied interests who buy elections like Bloomberg, and old school patrons like Cuomo.
