Kaine on Fox: "The president can act to defend US against imminent attack without congressional approval. But if you're going to initiate war, you need Congress. The president not only did not come to Congress, he acted without even notification to the vast majority of us. This is an illegal war."
Right now I am leaning towards the concept that our own President is more of a danger to this country than any other country is.
Gas could reach a national average above $3 per gallon for the first time this year, as analysts anticipate crude oil prices will jump next week.
Israeli settlers just invaded the village of Susya in the West Bank, burning multiple homes & vehicles.

Mark Warner: "I saw no intelligence that Iran was on the verge of launching any kind of preemptive strike against the United States. None."
A PSA from Thomas Massie:
Now you know why we are where we are today. Last year, he said we destroyed Iran's nuclear capabilities. That was another lie.
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."
-Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953
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?
A Reuters/Ipsos poll finds only 27% of Americans approve of the military attacks. 43% disapprove.

Those who stand for nothing will fall for anything.
A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.
We mustn’t let this war do so.
Trump, in this moment, would rather go to war to hide his crimes than face his lies and wrongdoings. This war is just a cover to conceal his deceit.
OPERATION PEDO FURY would be more appropriate
Operation Epstein Files
It’s the Jeffrey Epstein War
The morally bankrupt Trump administration has partnered with another morally bankrupt authoritarian to declare an unprovoked war on Iran, already killing scores of civilians.
We need an immediate vote from Congress on a War Powers Resolution. Then articles of impeachment.

But placing him above the law by granting immunity and letting him wiggle out of Section 3 of the 14th Amendment is totally cool.
Congress will vote to lower the age to prosecute minors as adults from 16 down to 14 in DC.
Let me get this straight:
Congress wants to prosecute 14 yr. olds as adults, but they don’t want to prosecute adults who sexually abuse 14 year olds?
Release the Epstein files.

Don't congratulate John Roberts or the Supreme Court.
Congratulate Rick Woldenberg, the Chicago-area leader of Learning Resources, an educadtional toy company that had the courage to sue the president of the United States to save his family business.
As well as everyone else who stepped up.
The American president is more insulated from accountability than a British royal.
Our political system provides the elite with immunity. It has to change.
