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."

The SAVE America Act is a voter suppression scam. It would take away the rights of working people to make their voices heard at the ballot box.

The Senate must reject this bill.

Interesting fact: #Vienna has 7000 spies, many from Russia. I wonder how many there are in the USA. #spycraft

Trump #lies. #Elections are coming up. We all need to make a point of speaking out about the lying, says lawyer Marc Elias on Deadline Whitehouse.

The #war in #Iran continues. Each day uses our #taxes to kill people. Is this okay with you?

Every single member of Congress that hasn't spoken up and acted is complicit in the murder and destruction of every single country we are going to war with and they should be put on trial too. Disgusting. #USA #America #Congress

Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

kind of crazy that if you have enough money and don't like what you see in the media, you can just buy up every film studio, news station, and social media app and change it

The F-15E Eagle jets accidentally shot down over Kuwait cost 90 million EACH! Think how that money could have been used to help Americans. #NoWar

The costs of this Iran war debacle will likely be more than the cost of extending the ACA health insurance subsidies.

If you asked Americans, which do you want: another war in the Middle East or lower health care costs at home, is the margin 90 to 10? 95 to 5?

Hey Congress!!

United States Constitution (Article I, Section 8)Congress holds the exclusive power to formally declare war, authorize the use of military force, and raise/support the armed forces.

How does it feel to be nuetered?
What are you doing?
SERIOUSLY! WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING????

The President has launched our nation and our great military into a war of choice, risking American lives and resources, ignoring American law, and endangering our allies and partners. It does nothing to help with the urgent problems here at home that Americans face every day.

I am against #war in #Iran. Today one of our bombs hit a girl’s school. War was not necessary. Is it to distract us from the Epstein scandal? So disgusting!

in my head, I keep hearing the Kinks with their 1965 song β€œTired of Waiting for You.” I’m so tired of waiting for conclusive evidence from the Epstein files, for our country to get back on track, for thugs in uniforms to be abolished, for Ukraine to get the weapons it needs.

It’s a week later but I haven’t forgotten that President Trump is trying to arrest leaders in Congress who oppose him politically. Never before in the history of the country has this happened. And we shouldn’t normalize it.

Jared Kushner is at diplomatic meetings.

He's not elected. Not confirmed. Not accountable.

WHO voted for him? The Senate didn't confirm him.

So why is he in these meetings?

FOREIGN POLICY IS NOT A FAMILY BUSINESS.

So Trump now posts an AI video with him fighting and punching a Canadian ice hockey player and scoring the winning goal for the gold medal? We should hold every Republican culpable for not seeking the removal of this obviously deranged man.

I’ve only met a few of the Epstein survivors but the ones I’ve talked to are amazingly strong. The thing that they’ve said to me, the thing that I’ve not seen reported though I’m sure someone has reported it somewhere is that they face a ton of harassment from people online.
