Damn—the Senate parliamentarian has ruled that a LOT of the reconciliation bill requires 60 votes to pass, including a massive assault on federal regulations and several heinous attacks on civil service protections. This effectively guts a big chunk of the bill. www.budget.senate.gov/ranking-memb...

The Democratic Party should already have a rapid response presser going, but it's Sunday. I would hate to interrupt their paid weekends because of an illegal war being declared without Congressional approval. Priorities.

They are using Mexican license plates to try and fool people.

1. Trump announces where he will bomb in Iran to destroy its nuclear inventory. 2. Iran moves its nuclear inventory from those locations. 3. Trump bombs those locations. 4. Trump: "Yay! Our strikes were a COMPLETE success! Mission accomplished!!!" 5. Iran rolls its eyes & jacks up US gas prices.

😳😳

Wow. Fourth batch of Byrd droppings is out - Dem staff absolutely dominated the HSGAC fight We won on reorg & bonuses for cost cutters ofc, but also on at-will, filing fees, and USPS green vehicles & infrastructure sales Seriously, major praise to the D staff www.budget.senate.gov/ranking-memb...

Is it too late to give Sacha Baron Cohen an Oscar for this? Not a damn lie told. 🇺🇸

#DNC #SenateDemocrats #HouseDemocrats Warning:If you don't stop your speeches & start taking action; there are a lot of ppl in this country that are going to turn into Independent voters. You will lose your base. Let me repeat: YOU WILL LOSE YOUR BASE. Time for politics is over. Time for action.🇺🇸

It's one of those things like "the velvet underground only sold 6,000 records but everyone who bought it started their own band" but for everyone who answered "yes" to this being given a national newspaper column

Trump has physicians on standby at the WH 24:7 He has an operating room on Air Force One They can medivac him to the best hospitals He doesn't care that his Big Bill will cause local hospitals for you & me to close And he's even shutting down suicide hotlines #DontKillOurMedicaid

He didn’t like the answers it was giving, so he’s starting over.

The Republicans control the House of Representatives and Senate. They could stop what is happening at any time.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

FUN FACT: 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.

Let’s get rid of this monster!

Impeach Trump Now! Bombing Iran without authorization violates the US Constitution and Congressional War Powers. It is "absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment," tweeted @aoc.bsky.social. Call your reps and demand action. ☎️

Iran has learned its lesson. by Susan Collins

Let me put it this way - there is no more bipartisanship. There is no more “norms and traditions”. This war is illegal, and every Republican is complicit not only in an illegal war but also in the degradation of our democracy and the powers of congress. www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/forei...

The American people do not want to begin a war with Iran, and Trump does not have the unilateral authority to start one. I'll keep speaking up on behalf of my constituents, the overwhelming majority of whom don't want to be dragged into another forever war.

🚨An illegal war has begun. Trump launched strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites without Congress, without cause, and without consent. This is a constitutional crisis and an act of global aggression. Be where you need to be. June 22. 12PM #3E #Indivisible #Fiftyfiftyone #HandsOff #NoTrumpWar #NoKings

Bernie Sanders calls the bombing of Iran unconstitutional and the crowd breaks out into “no more war”.

Sooooo Dems on Intelligence Committees were not briefed Iran nuclear facilities were to be bombed — that is some straight up impeachable BS Don’t roll up here with “but Obama, but Biden” they didn’t exclude an entire political party. Trump should be removed from office.
