Chris Murphy: "I Just came from a two hour, closed door classified briefing on the war. It just confirmed to me it's totally incoherent. We are not gonna be able to achieve any of our stated objectives ... this is a disaster of epic proportions, a 10 day debacle"
Today the United States wasted another #1B on an illegal war in Iran, money that could have been spent on funding health care or providing SNAP benefits or cancer research or academic scholarships for minorities. I could go on and on but I think you get my point. #endtheiranwarnow

This is ๐ซ how adulting works, this is certainly ๐ซ how being a president is supposed to work.
the idea of Congres actually changing constitution with the state they r in is laughable
A cartoon of Pete Kefsbreath shouts at American flag-draped coffins: โSTOP TRYING TO EMBARASS THE PRESIDENT!โ
TAPPER: You know that if you vote against an additional $50 billion of funding for operations in Iran, that vote will be cast as you voting against the troops.

There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective.
Heโs not protecting others; heโs protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.

Putin is a terrible and overrated strategist, as recent years have shown.
However, he is a genuine opportunist who knows when to abandon allies and how to make the most of any situation.
Heโs doing that now with the war involving Iran
BLS used the words "edged down" in its monthly labor market report. Have to wonder the number of drafts they went through instead of just saying the U.S. economy lost 92K jobs last month. www.bls.gov/news.release...
