It is time to fight for democracy, the rule of law, your rights, your neighbors’ rights, research, science, education, immigrants, minorities, civil servants, your country! As a Chilean-American, I know what is at stake. Fight back!

Is this war about lifting sanctions on Russia?

A tragedy that could have been avoided! How come they were not ready and protected when the first missiles started falling in Iran? This war was not thought through at any level, and we should demand an investigation!

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"

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.

Since the Dow is under 50,000, can we talk about the Epstein files again?

I want to walk you through why it’s nearly certain Trump’s Iran War is going to be a massive, deadly, trillion dollar failure. And why you should be furious he’s set us on this path.

Spain said the attack on Iran was a unilateral decision, so they don't get to use its base! Way to go, Spain!

Trump is a great scammer and a bully! Yes, we can definitely see those traits in his family!

After just a few minutes, Trump has moved on from his war in Iran to the curtains he’s picked out for the White House and his new ballroom. “I picked those drapes in my first term,” he says. “I always liked gold.” There’s light chuckling in the room.

Ayman was great and did not take any of the BS from Anna Luna! What an unqualified congress member!

“Eight months ago, Donald Trump lied to the country when he claimed U.S. air strikes had ‘obliterated’ Iran’s nuclear program.
 
“Now Trump says he’s taken America to war for regime change in Iran.
 
“Trump has launched this regime change war and put American forces at risk without presenting evidence of an imminent threat, without clear objectives, without having exhausted diplomacy, without a plan for the aftermath, and without the consent of Congress.
 
“I oppose yet another regime change war-of-choice in the Middle East. Congress must convene immediately and pass a War Powers Resolution to assert our Constitutional authority over war and peace.
 
“The President has presented no evidence that Iran or its nuclear program — which he falsely claimed to have ‘obliterated’ — pose an imminent threat to the United States, or that diplomacy was exhausted. Iran’s support for terrorism and uranium enrichment have long destabilized the region. But sending American forces into harm’s way should only ever be a last resort.
 
“I pray for the safety of U.S. forces who have been ordered into battle and commend their extraordinary professionalism.”

Overnight, Trump started an illegal war without approval from Congress and against the wishes of the American people.

This war will bring needless death and destruction – risking American lives and civilian casualties.

Congress must bring up a War Powers resolution immediately.

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.

So many things this administration is doing against the people, the Constitution, and the world that it is challenging to keep track of all! Thank you, Kamala! We miss you so much! The rest of America is realizing the horrible mistake they made!

Kamala Harris: When this guy is talking about the economy is roaring…

Who’s it roaring for when you put a $1 trillion cut to Medicaid? You know what Medicaid funds? Families with children, pregnant women, seniors, people with disabilities. Meanwhile, a $1 trillion tax cut for the richest people

Justice Department withheld and removed some Epstein files related to Trump An NPR investigation finds the public database of Epstein files is missing dozens of pages related to sexual abuse accusations against President Trump.

“Some files have not been made public despite a law mandating their release. These include what appears to be more than 50 pages of FBI interviews, and notes from conversations with a woman who accused Trump of sexual abuse decades ago when she was a minor.”

Opinion | New York Democrats Have a Chance to Vote Against the A.I. Oligarchs There’s a huge political opportunity for the party that can stand up for human beings in the face of A.I.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com

“There are several interesting candidates in the campaign for the 12th District,” our columnist Michelle Goldberg writes. “But only Bores gives voters the opportunity to defeat the tech oligarchs unleashing tsunamis of cash to buy political submission.”
