Trump overhypes from the start because he knows one side will run with it. While cooler heads gather facts, his version becomes the narrative. Last night: “Iran’s key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely & totally obliterated.” Today: Iran’s enriched uranium is likely still intact. 🧵

Mayor Bass: Why did Trump’s administration target Los Angeles? The nation’s second largest city? Why the body blows to our economy when we have the fourth largest economy in the world? They are using our city as an experiment. They are seeing if they can get away with it. Your city is next!

A federal judge ruled that Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia should be released while awaiting trial. 100% agree.

People talk about "regime change" as if the only regime that could change is the one in Iran.

Today, King Charles III and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine held a meeting at Windsor Castle.

Someone's panicking.

Don't forget: russia is waging a genocidal war against Ukraine. Right now. Still.

Oliver North on Fox News complaining that Iran has missiles is... I mean, do they even know who the fuck he is and what he did? He sold Iran missiles!

Can you imagine living in a “Democracy” where armed masked men are kidnapping people off the streets every single day?

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

Trump will soon speak to the nation about the unprovoked war crime of unilateral war that he just illegally ordered. Every word out of his mouth will be a lie. He will lie about history, about intel, about Israel, and about his own interests. He will lie to ALL our faces. 🤬

It’s always the person without combat experience that's the first to suggest dropping a bomb. We must do everything we can to de-escalate the situation in Iran to protect our troops in the Middle East.

Please don’t presume this is now an American president making a serious decision for the good of America, not a malignant despot desperate to be seen as a strong man.

Schiff: "The failure to brief Dem lawmakers, the making this just another partisan exercise by the administration when it comes to something as serious as the decision to potentially engage in warfare, it means that you're not gonna have the whole country bought into this, which is a real problem"

Donald Trump, a weak and dangerously reckless president, has put the United States on a path to a war in the Middle East that the country does not want, the law does not allow, and our security does not demand.

Schiff: "It's not an operation that should've ever been authorized by the president in the absence of intelligence showing that Iran had made the decision to break out and build a bomb."

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.

The War Powers Act allows POTUS to use military force in 3 very specific situations: a declared war, after an authorization from Congress or imminent attack. The Iran bombing meets none of those. This blatant disregard for the law has to be an impeachable offense!

A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people. + ++ The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America. In Congress, July 4, 1776

And these are the same snowflakes who couldn’t handle wearing a mask during the pandemic.

Younger people will be shocked to hear this, but way back when I grew up, anytime you saw a movie where some government official stopped someone on the street and demanded to see their identification papers, that was supposed to let you know they were the *bad* guys.

No matter where someone was born, the United States should never tolerate inhumane treatment. Yet right now, detainees in ICE custody are facing conditions that are simply unacceptable in any country that claims to uphold human rights, let alone one that prides itself on freedom and the rule of law.

#ProudBlue #RU #Pinks This little girl is practicing for a lockdown drill at her preschool. Politicians, this is your child, your children, your grandchildren, your great grandchildren and future generations to come. Does anyone at all find this acceptable? 💔 #EndGunViolence

Would be fascinated to meet the person who thinks Iran is in Norfolk.

Remembering this great tweet on the Summer Solstice

Truth 💥🤬

If you think attacking a nation will liberate it from extremists, just look what happens when the U.S. gets attacked. Our civil liberties go out the door while the government claims emergency powers.

We had a Democratic politician assassinated less than a week ago and we're already done talking about it.

You know what’s more American than installing 88 foot flag poles at the White House? Following the Constitution.

Common sense gun laws save lives, and there new data to support what we’ve always known.

Yes. I look at the bookshelves to my left and there, next to a few translations of Gilgamesh, is my underused copy of . . . . . . Beginner’s Assyrian. Someday.

ICE in just a few weeks has transformed itself into the closest thing that the US has ever had to a “secret police,” with more seemingly culturally in common with the Klan nightriders of Reconstruction than their federal agency brethren like the FBI or ATF. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/ice-believ...

The lie that got us into the Iraq war was that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction. The lie that’s going to get us into this war is that Iran is on the cusp of a nuclear weapon. Only stupid people would believe the same lis twice.
