There is no press outlet of any size, in any medium, that would offer this kind of coverage to a Democratic president, no matter the circumstances. There is a massive, explicit agitprop operation on the right, devoted to the power of the conservative faction, & there is no analogue on the left.

Jeff Bezos is worth $230 billion and is reportedly spending $20 million on a three-day wedding in Venice while sailing around on his $500 million yacht. If he can afford to do that, he can afford a wealth tax and to pay Amazon workers a living wage. Hello?

If you’re dumb enough to watch Fox News you’re dumb enough to vote for Donald Trump. It’s as simple as that. Thinking you have to find appeasement with ignorance is already a failed strategy. You don’t lean into their bigotry, you f’n educate them if you wanna save USA.

Trump wants to punish Harvard by cutting off federal grants but the result is cutting research into cancer, mental health, opioid addiction, sleep deprivation and hundreds of other projects that benefit Americans. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Not remotely the worst thing, of course. But this plus the actual B2/GBU-57 mission probably cost as much as whatever fake DOGE savings are being claimed now as we dismantle the entire federal government.

This really is Congress eating its own institutional capacity to stifle any dissent to Trump. They accuse CBO of being Democrats, even though it is run by a Republican appointee. GAO has pointed out the illegality of impoundment. DOGE tried to take over GAO, and now House Republicans want to gut it.

The Trump team says this isn’t war. That’s a lie & they know all know it. Iran will respond. Troops are bracing. Oil prices are shifting. And the most dangerous part? The lack of civilian leadership & inexperience sitting at the table.

There's no declaration of war, and no AUMF that covers this. Entering this war is wrong on the merits; we had a perfectly peaceful way to address Iran's nuclear program. It's also unlawful. A democratic republic should not be able to enter a war of choice on one man's say-so.

What am I worried about? -Safety of 30k US troops in the Middle East -cybersecurity (since CISA was recently gutted) & homeland security (as HLS focused on immigration) -Economic strength (oil prices and tariffs) -Allied assistance (we’ll need that now) -Domestic intell (leadership at FBI/DNI)

Correct. When Trump withdrew from the JCPOA in May 2018, he made it the policy of the United States that every country should have an active nuclear weapons program. Today he made it clear they need to develop functional nuclear weapons as soon as possible. Nothing else can prevent a U.S. attack.

The JCPOA was one of the greatest diplomatic achievements of the 21st century. Multiple nations, several powerful blocks, a ton of oversight and the entire time diplomats were working it out domestic American media & politicians were demonizing it, lying about it, and trying to sabotage it. They won

And so the United States goes to war with Iran without so much as a by your leave to the American people. No statement, other than on social media; no notice to Congress; no serious deliberation. This is the stuff of autocrats. Disgraceful.

"They say with Trump accusation is confession. Having warned during the 2024 campaign that Joe Biden, then Kamala Harris, would trigger “world war three”, Trump is now offering a perilous test of that proposition." My take. www.ft.com/content/c689...

I just want to say for the record that when the history books are written centuries from now, I believe the election of Donald Trump in a free and fair election in 2024 will go down as one of the most senseless and self-destructive own goals in human history

Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare. Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics. Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages. If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.

For those unconditionally cheering the attacks on Iran, remember that our early strikes in Afghanistan and Iraq were “successful”. But we ended up getting dragged into costly wars that created more terrorists than we killed. The American people haven’t forgotten that.
