The enriched uranium was not present at the sites that were hit. That had been moved.

“Bombing for peace is like fucking for chastity.” - a bumper sticker I had in high school

Time to step up MAGA.

Very Cool 😎

It’s the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse

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.

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

AOC: “It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”

BREAKING: Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization says it will not halt its nuclear program following the U.S. attack, calling the strikes a “blatant violation of international law.”

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.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they? Hello?

Following the President’s decision to bomb nuclear facilities in Iran, I’ve directed our public safety teams to be on heightened alert for potential threats to Minnesota. While there’s no known threats at this time, we’ll continue to monitor the situation and respond accordingly.

Well...

Congress? You awake?

This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

Fourth of July is our Independence Day. We can’t let them own patriotism. Let’s get out on the streets and remind them that this country is our country.

The xenophobic fever dream Rep Andy Ogles exists in is entirely detached from reality — and the proof that he knows it is he doesn’t have the courage to show his face in NASHVILLE, which he represents, at a town hall.

AOC: Being taken is wrong, it is illegal, it is a violation of his First Amendment rights, it is an affront to every American, and we will not allow—and will continue to resist—the politicization and the continued political persecution that ICE is engaged in.

Bernie heads to Johnson’s backyard

just saw a group of masked men stuffing masked ICE agents into an unmarked car, who were saying "we're ICE we're ICE!" but the abductors shouted to the crowd "no we're ICE!" no one knew who was ICE, so no one in the crowd said anything.

The right wing and Fox launched a smear campaign against Newsom. In the past, he might’ve ignored it—but he’s seen how right-wing trolls work with Fox to create false narratives. So this time, Newsom responded immediately. No hesitation.

Posting Obama with his Nobel Peace Prize for no particular reason

"Wearing their Illinois National Guard uniforms, Axel and Andres Reyes arrived with their mother at the immigration office Tuesday morning. "The men, 19 and 24, watched their mother, who has been in the U.S. for more than 24 years, enter the office..." chicago.suntimes.com/politics/202...

“Jose” 😬

Governor @GavinNewsom’s social media team is ready for @JDVance

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

Ouch. #TrumpsTrillionsTransfer

Trump: "They should give me the Nobel Prize for Rwanda and if you look, the Congo, or you could say Serbia, Kosovo, you could say a lot of them. The big one is India and Pakistan. I should've gotten it four or five times."

Probably sold it to Putin

She’s terrific. Well deserved recognition!
