β€œSo damaged is the department’s reputation for truth-telling at this point, one judge noted despairingly, that β€˜the court is left with little confidence’ that government lawyers β€˜can be trusted to tell the truth about anything.’ ”

Trump does not have the authority to start a war in Iran. And yet, he’s moving in the direction of committing ground troops.

If Republicans in Congress do not want to serve their constituents or their constitutional duty, they should just resign.

Incredible that just 24 hours after this tweet, it's being reported that America is preparing to put boots on the ground in Iran.

McGowan: You're saying 46 Americans died, so we should attack this country. Here at home, 68,000 Americans die a year because they don't have health insurance. So, if we're going to spend billions of dollars on something…

Sadly, and even more frighteningly, the U.S. government no longer works in the best interest of the American people as a whole. It now operates in the sole interest of a few oligarchs who have the means to bribe those in charge so as to do their evil bidding in order to further enrich themselves.

We are a nation of 349M, yet one man decided to launch our nation into a reckless, illegal war without congressional authorization or counsel or the support of the American people. He didn’t think he had any duty to sell it or serve the people’s interests. This is why despotic rule is so dangerous.

Ossoff: "The WH put out a video depicting this war as a video game. When service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, & even more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this WH treats war like a game. It's a disgrace. And it speaks to a moral rot."

A president who ruins lives and unalives as he pleases or upon someone else's command is not fit for office.

This is your reminder to vote as early and securely as you can

Early voting makes the fascists' attempts to steal the midterms harder

Gupta: Why is Dr. Casey Means not right for the role of Surgeon General?

First, she’s somebody who wraps herself in a white coat β€” she did a lot of that during her confirmation hearing β€” but she doesn’t actually practice medicine. In some ways it’s just false valor.

A lot of what's happening in this country, specifically the GOP, makes sense, when you consider that politicians only behave differently when their voters demand it.

All of these assholes would vote differently, speak differently, etc. if their voters wanted it.

It's all on the voters. All of it.

Who would have guessed that the legal system in America was so fragile that a single crazy president could ignore the whole thing, from the Constitution right down to state laws?
Why does the Supreme Court and Congress let this demented moron act like the dictator of a banana republic?

Has anyone pointed out to ICE agents that if they're arresting people solely to collect a bonus, they're not law enforcement officers. They're bounty hunters.

I look forward to all of them losing their jobs and being blacklisted from serving in law enforcement.

Yesterday, when the market was in decline and gas prices were rising, Trump called CBS and implied that the war was nearly over. The markets rebounded a bit. And then we find that the war hadn’t ended. So, Trump lied to affect the market. For godsakes, when will people stop believing this guy?!

Not trying to be hyperbolic, I fear we are on the cusp of a 9/11 type catastrophe that this regime is unwilling and unable to protect us from.

tRump dragged us into a war that we don't want.
He should be removed from office and impeached. The cost to taxpayers and to Iranian children is just too much.

More and more Republicans will not be seeking reelection.

Yesterday, shortly after his conversation with Putin, Trump stated that the United States would lift part of the sanctions on Russia’s oil sector and on several other countries until the crisis is resolved.

He added that the sanctions might not need to be reintroduced afterward.
