Elissa Slotkin: “There's press reports that the Russians are helping target US ships & aircraft — if Russia is helping to kill US forces, we have crossed a Rubicon — we are in another moment & one that we have to take decisive action on — and we need to adjust to that new reality”

Iran–Russia relations - Wikipedia

Russia militarily assisting Iran is a "new reality"?

Interesting (read: profoundly disturbing) that this comes as a revelation to someone who prides herself on having been an analyst for the CIA...

We don’t have to worry about Iranian sleeper cells when we have this guy on the job.

Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker - Wikipedia

A KC-135 Stratotanker is essentially a Boeing 707 reconfigured as a flying gas station...

Of course, none of this should be happening.

CHRIS HAYES: “are you a yes, or no on the supplemental appropriations bill to continue to fund this war?”

SEN. CHRIS VAN HOLLEN: “I’m a hell no on any more money for this war.” 🔥

I appreciate Senator Van Hollen’s clear-cut answer here. No gameplaying!

Republicans plan marathon debate for SAVE America Act But don’t call it a “talking filibuster.”

A talking filibuster is when you make the OTHER PARTY talk and talk. Republicans are so dumb, they are now planning a filibuster of their own bill! www.politico.com/live-updates...

If Republicans made it easy and free to obtain suitable ID, it would be one thing. As it is Republican voter suppression also includes widespread efforts to make it much harder, more time-consuming, and more expensive to obtain ID.

Sickening racism from a sitting senator. The Ogles hate is contagious.

You’re either calling this out or normalizing it. There’s no third option.

The love is drifting for some...Will $8 gas change their minds? Will they wake from their spell of the cult. I'd say overall NO.

Again,

I believe quite literally, and in all seriousness, that Donald J. Trump is an avatar of Satan, sent here among us as a test...because we, as a nation, asked for it.

Getting people to "wake from their spell" will be a long and difficult process. They must be reconciled with what is Good...
