NBC News poll

Voters hold negative views of Al. In fact, the only topics less popular in the survey were the Democratic Party and Iran.

i’d like for some people to grapple with the fact that β€œthe most important election of our lifetime,” if you actually mean it, implies that the governance period following it is also the most important governance period of our lifetime, and adjust their demands/expectations/behaviors accordingly

Democratic members of Congress need to attack this war as a crime, because that’s what it is. β€œThe president did not plan out his war of aggression as well as he could have” is a foolish and self-defeating position to take.

I do think it's about time for Dem electeds to wrap up the "he doesn't have a plan!" Iran war complaints.

Yes, for sure. This clown car never has a real plan. But even if this was the best-planned, well-briefed Iran war imaginable - it's still catastrophically bad and needs unequivocal opposition!

Graham Says War With Iran Is β€œBest Money Ever Spent” After Voting to Kick Millions Off Medicaid Last Year The senator travelled to Israel multiple times in recent weeks to work on strategies to convince Trump to go to war.

β€œBest money ever spent,” said Lindsey Graham of the $1 billion dollars a day it is costing for the war on Iran. The senator went on to brag that the U.S. is going to β€œmake a ton of money” off of the war that has already killed 1,205 civilians.

A lot of people say AI isn't very good for the world and its outputs are routinely unreliable, but these haters fail to see how it's revolutionizing how we incinerate schoolchildren.

β€˜We’re in it’: Democrats won’t rule out giving Trump more money for Middle East war Democrats will have to balance a desire to criticize Trump’s offensive in Iran with pressure to support funding to defend the nation now at war.

JUST IN: A federal judge has barred Gov DeSantis from designating CAIR as a terrorist organization and punish those who associate with the group.

Lawmakers anticipate Trump will seek emergency funding for β€˜open-ended’ Iran war Top Trump administration officials briefed Congress on the U.S. military onslaught Tuesday but did not say whether they will ask for supplemental defense funding.

It's going so well they need more money for their extremely well-planned illegal war www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

For a president who ran for office promising to keep the United States out of wars, Trump has already launched attacks during his second term in:

Ecuador
Iran
Iraq
Nigeria
Somalia
Syria
Venezuela
Yemen
and on civilians in boats in the Caribbean Sea and Pacific Ocean.

I like the β€œwe’ve been at war with iran for 40 years” talking point because by implication surviving members of the reagan bush natsec team should be tried for treason

denying that "war in a constitutional sense" is happening when it plainly is happening has been an argument made by just about every post-9/11 president

In case this is unclear to anyone: the majority of federally elected Democrats and Republicans do not fundamentally disagree on whether a regime change bombing campaign should happen.
