Murphy: "Literally in my other ear I'm listening to Ted Cruz on another network explain why this mission is so essential to destroy the nuclear program. I may have to walk over there and tell him the admin is now briefing that getting rid of the nuclear program has nothing to do with this mission."
Either Casey Means is a vaccine skeptic trying to hedge her own beliefs, or she accepts the mainstream science on vaccines and doesn't want to upset RFK Jr. or the antivaxxers in the GOP base.

Not great when the only people in the free world who believe and trust Vladimir Putin’s word on critical things despite all evidence to the contrary are currently running the government of the United States.
As long as you don’t need gas, groceries, affordable healthcare, retirement savings or constitutional rights, things aren’t so bad.
There is one word that explains how so many men can be in the Epstein files. So why is no one saying it?

Masuma Khan has lived in Altadena for nearly 30 years.
Last year, despite having no criminal history, she was detained by ICE and denied the medication she needed to breathe. Her family contacted my office, and we successfully advocated for her release.
It's horrible that we have a President that does so much horrific things to the American people and pledges his allegiance to foreign leadership
and nobody can do anything about it, horrific!!
So we're all smarter than the Bank of America securities head of US Equity and Quantitative Strategy?
This is one of his most terrifyingly stupid performances ever, this one’s a Hall of Famer
So he’s surrendering without accomplishing any of his stated objectives while declaring victory. Exactly what we said would happen.
goddamn is this a breath of fresh air after Allred 2024
If Iran does anything that stops the flow of Oil within the Strait of Hormuz, they will be hit by the United States of America TWENTY TIMES HARDER than they have been hit thus far. Additionally, we will take out easily destroyable targets that will make it virtually impossible for Iran to ever be built back, as a Nation, again — Death, Fire, and Fury will reign upon them — But I hope, and pray, that it does not happen! This is a gift from the United States of America to China, and all of those Nations that heavily use the Hormuz Strait. Hopefully, it is a gesture that will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP
Trump is completely flailing. He didn't anticipate the economic blowback and now he's trying to undo the past 10 days and contain the damage.
I heard the audio. He said it.
Lord. What have y'all done.
Does it bother anyone but me that Donald Trump can still have "productive talks" with Putin?
The bottom line is Trump sacrificed 8 American lives (& counting) and more than 1,000 Iranian lives (& counting) for nothing. He hurt the US & global economies, destabilized the Middle East, & will pull out with the same Iranian regime in power. There's no silver lining.
A senseless, criminal waste
To all the radical women who have made the world better, especially those women who radicalized us, thank you.
The stupidest President of all time calls anyone who stands against him stupid.
What?!
It was amazingly nuts
Historical ranking of US Presidents is silly, but until Trump 2, people could legitimately say Presidents like Jackson, Pierce, Buchanan, Andrew Johnson, Nixon, etc. were worse in terms of harm caused. In adding psychopathic war criminal to his attributes, it’s now difficult to argue against Trump.
I mean, in what universe did anyone believe that a man with gold toilets would understand or identify or care about ordinary Americans?
“Some people will die…” and “yes gas prices may rise…” and “I guess Americans should fear Iran attacks in the US”
The ? is - why were people so blind?
It could not be more obvious that the president does not care about US service members and in fact regards their deaths as mere political inconveniences. He has more sympathy for Putin than Americans who died because he decided to wage illegal war. Just listen to him.
When I first started out as a journalist I thought it paid to have a background in US history when covering America. Then I thought it would probably be better to be a constitutional lawyer with expertise in jurisprudence. Now I think it would be useful to be a psychiatrist.
Every ICE officer who has broken the law should be arrested, tried, and imprisoned for their crimes.
An article describing how a Norwegian immigrant married a US citizen but ICE detailed her and refused her insulin, causing blindness and almost killed her. In between, an ad from the common sense leadership fund lauds the president's "understanding of the art of the deal" and boosts his alleged pro-business agenda
The contrast is ghoulish. A "pro-business" president nearly killing people because cruelty is the point.
The President is endangering Citizens.
Chris Murphy: "I think it's likely the United States that carried out this attack on this school. I think it's unforgivable under any circumstances, but the fact this was one of our first targeting decisions speaks to the incompetence of our leadership at the Dept of Defense."
Americans are dead. Prices are skyrocketing. The Middle East is on fire. Civil war is brewing in Iran.
And for what? A war that will leave the same hardliners in charge? A war that can't actually destroy their nuclear program?
This is incompetence. Plain and simple.
