Regarding Henry but in reverse.
Cruel
A group of us in the Senate are demanding public hearings on Trump's disastrous war with Iran with Secretary Hegseth and Rubio. And we've introduced a half dozen war powers resolutions to force the Senate to vote every day on the war if the hearings don't happen.
This nails where we are. Precisely.
I don't think you have to Nostradamus to figure that bombing Iran might raise oil prices. And it seems pretty obvious that buying oil in advance of causing an oil price spike might just save Americans a lot of money. But...
...maybe there wasn't much planning?
the president has no idea what he has set in motion. none.

Perfect.
The difference is the war in Wag the Dog was fake.
Of course. No one wanted this war. They wanted food and health care and energy prices to go down. Now all those things will cost more.
It's a war of folly by a doddering old man who likes when things blow up and needs to distract us from the child sex ring he's connected to.
The FBI being on high alert for terrorist actions is important right now.
Too bad they fired and gutted their counterterrorism capacity
"Assemble the Board of Peace - I'm starting a war".
The U.S. Senate must be clear: no war with Iran.
Brilliant.
Here is my opening statement to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee today.

“Of course a husband is never trespassing in his own garden.” Hooboy.
Because when you control the levers of power (DOJ, FBI, DHS, military), you no longer need to follow the rules. You no longer need Congress or the courts. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/02...
I feel this so much having been a server all through college.
Devastating.
Standing up to racism shouldn’t be a partisan issue.
Trump posts an objectively racist video, and MAGA is silent.
All while he continues to nominate bigots and dine with Holocaust deniers.
It’s clear who this President is. And it should disgust all of us.
This is what haunts me most—the harms we can’t see now but will compound over time.

Pam Bondi says "ditten" when she means "didn't."
This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.
Reprehensible.
