Trump is betting he can get in and out on this cleanly. Almost surely this is based more on wishes and arrogance than intelligence and reasoned assessment.

When Trump said, Iran is ‘very close’ to building a nuclear bomb—it was a self-own. We wouldn’t be here if Trump hadn’t backed out of the Obama Iran nuclear deal.

An act of war weeks in planning but unauthorized by Congress against a country that Trump's own director of intelligence testified under oath was not close to getting a nuclear weapon.

War. We seem to be at war. Did Congress approve of this, as is constitutionally required? No. Did the president consider the impact of this on Americans? Particularly draft-age Americans? Seemingly, no. More to come.

Well, I, for one, am glad that unlike in all previous wars of choice this time, we finally have a clear end goal, an exit strategy and meaningful Congressional oversight to make sure our elected leaders don't do some crazy shit

We’re in another Middle East war. I’m reflecting on the fact that it’s easy to start a war, difficult to end it. There’s often war optimism, so it’s unlikely to end with bomb strikes today. Lastly, I’m troubled that Trump’s national security team is who we have running this war.

Donald Trump is the most gullible easily manipulated person to ever be President. Stephen Miller, Putin and now Netenyahu have all been able to turn Trump into their own personal puppet. Trump is the weakest President in history who is allowing Netenyahu to bluff him into an Iranian war #ProudBlue

Tulsi Gabbard is now saying exactly the opposite of what she testified & the opposite of the statement in the worldwide threat assessment the entire intelligence community produced. It’s rather dangerous when the director of national intelligence cannot accurately convey a hard-and-fast reality.

Does Tulsi Gabbard have no self-respect? Why has she not resigned yet? She is being publicly and repeatedly thrown under the bus by her boss, the (lying) president?

Hell no!!! Congressional Republicans need to cut the bullshit and end the tax cap on Social Security. We will not accept any cuts unless you do that first. I’ve been paying in since I was 17. That wasn’t a donation. I expect to receive Social Security in full.

For generations, if you came on a visa and applied for asylum, you would generally not be arrested even if your visa expired during the process. That’s over now. They’re arresting everyone, even people who have done legitimately nothing wrong. What a terrible, awful, inhumane, cruel policy.

While Mike Lee and Steve Daines' Senate Natural Resources Committee amendment to the budget reconciliation package mandates the sale of up to 3.3 million acres of public land, what most people miss is that it also authorizes the sale of 258 million acres. That's 40 percent of all public land:
