The SAVE America Act is a voter suppression scam. It would take away the rights of working people to make their voices heard at the ballot box.
The Senate must reject this bill.
Yeah, Trump really is that contemptuous of voters. His big donors aren't hurting so everything's "great"

Nothing says "boots on the ground" like an amphibious assault vessel

There are actual experts in Iranian politics
There are actual experts in global energy traffic
There are actual experts in the application of air power
Trump consults with none of them.

Chancellor Merz understands that Trump is serving Putin's interests, not those of Americans, not those of the West.

This administration is committing Watergate level crimes multiple times per week—and those are the ones we know about. It’s crazy to think about what else will come out after.
It’s absolutely essential these criminals are held responsible for their crimes. We must end elite impunity.
Trump is so erratic that I think the most likely outcome of the war is that we lose all our allies and trading partners. We’re not trustworthy as a nation
🚨 Pentagon officials told Congress that the war with Iran has cost the U.S. more than $11 billion in its first week
"John Mearsheimer enjoys close ties with pro-Moscow propagandists"
"Russia’s Foreign Ministry also has promoted Mearsheimer’s work, including last year when the propaganda outfit featured the author’s writings to justify Putin’s deadly invasion of Ukraine."

War in Iran means
1-higher oil prices and therefore more revenue for Putin's war effort
and
2-a new appreciation for Ukrainian expertise in defending against drones
Trump's affection for Putin now puts him directly at odds with US interests.

Grand Ayatollah Ali Al Sistani was the one ally who might have given the American forces legitimacy in Iraq. We refused to speak to him, because he insists that mineral wealth (oil) is an asset of the nation, and cannot be privatized.

Hatred, ignorance, fear, greed, and discrimination are viruses, magnified by suffering, carried in buckets, spilled onto the world.
We cannot eliminate them by actions that magnify hatred, ignorance, fear, greed, discrimination and suffering - only by actions that relieve them.
The US in our lifetime has been very very bad at declaring victory and going home. It hadn't occurred to me that that might be a sign of dementia, as well as a sign of sanity.
I wonder what percentage of Americans knows that the CIA helped overthrow a democracy in Iran in 1953, installing a brutal dictator who tortured and murdered people. Republicans keep citing the 1979 Islamic Revolution as if that was the start of U.S.-Iran hostilities. Go back 26 years earlier.

"declined to cooperate" is routinely code for "she was intimidated by threats of violence from Trump's minions"
Maybe there is no strategy here
"Iran's president apologized Saturday for attacks on regional countries even as its missiles and drones flew toward Gulf Arab states, indicating that Tehran's political leadership could not exercise full command over Iran's armed forces"

It's not just Minneapolis, of course. But maybe the press coverage is muted when the surname is Hispanic.
