This month it is about diplomacy. Or the Trump version at least what is in it for us along with some Trump worship.

I wonder who believes this.

Since 1994, immigrants have paid more in taxes than they receive in benefits every year.

Do not believe the lies you hear about immigrants.

They are good for society and the economy.

They either didn't know Iran would shut down the Strait of Hormuz or they knew and didn't have a plan.

Either way - just totally clear they don't give a damn about what this war means for hardworking Americans.

How to piss off a tyrannical government in 1 easy step: READ

Read what? Anything you want. Fluffy romance, the entire works of Tolkien, poetry, Paddington bear, whatever you want.

Carving out 1hr a day to read helps develop thinking skills that tyrants fear.

U.S. Democratic Socialists 1d・ THANK YOU to the small South Carolina newspaper that was able to verify 16 of the claims made by Trump's teen r*pe accuser, so far... Hey national media: With all your resources, why couldn't YOU do this? STEP THE F**K UP.

1 was enough

In South Burlington, Vermont, protesters are being tear-gassed by ICE and local police as they attempt to prevent a kidnapping.

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!

It doesn’t matter who pressured, convinced or conned Trump into attacking Iran. He’s the president. The buck stops with him. He’s accountable. Blaming others is just distraction.

Drunkard rapist Pete Hegseth has banned press photographers from his bullshit propaganda briefings indefinitely after they took photos of him that he deemed “unflattering.”

It’s disgusting that we went from a highly decorated 4-star General to this trashy piece of shit.

"There's a video where Trump is having sex with children. They will be published and put an end to his presidency once and for all," - Canadian journalist Mark Slapinski

An odd perk of going to a luthern school middle east maps were part of the curriculum

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.

Sen. Tim Sheehy (R-MT) installed rooftop solar panels on his home, despite once criticizing green energy as “goofy, subsidized green energy crap.” His response: “It’s my personal home, so it’s not really any of your business”

His hypocrisy is everyone's businesses..

Exclusive: Moscow is giving Iran specific advice on drone tactics to hit US and Gulf nation targets in the Middle East, source tells CNN.

Hell yes, Democrats flipped yet another state House seat yesterday, this time in New Hampshire.

Another win for democracy.

If Trump relied on Jared Kushner’s opinion that Iran was weeks away from a nuclear bomb when making his decision to go to war like he claims, that totally makes sense because Kushner is the most reliable source for intel on Iran nuke capabilities.

Sen. Murray: "I'm just sickened by this. To go into this war unprepared, to use outdated data, and to have this horrific thing happen where children were killed in a school sends a horrible message to those that are in a war with us and to our own constituents about what America's values are."

Spain MEP Irene Montero: “Send your son, Donald Trump — If you want war, send your own people to the front line. We in Spain want our children, our daughters, & our loved ones at home, safe. We don’t want war — those who want war should send their own children”

Yesterday Senator Chris Murphy attended a briefing on the war in Iran. Afterwards he said:
We are not going to be able to achieve any of our objectives. This is a disaster of epic proportions.

Has any man at the very rear of his army *ever* projected such sad main character energy?

It's almost like he wants us to forget he's a draft-dodger who called our soldiers "losers" and "suckers" and plotted illegal wars of the sort he got elected promising to avoid while demanding a peace prize

Beinf cruel to others is an important partvl of every Trump plan.

The entire administration is still upset they got picked last for kick ball as kids.

Schatz: We don’t know for sure, but the likely bombing of an elementary school with one of our Tomahawk missiles is not a one-off mistake. It is the result of a change in policy so that the United States has way looser rules of engagement — way more tolerance for civilian harm.

WTAF?!

Trump says he bombed Iran because Jared Kushner told him Iran he had a hunch Iran would strike first.

Not intelligence agencies.

Not our allies.

His SON-IN-LAW's HUNCH is why our troops are dead, gas prices are soaring...and the Middle East is on FIRE! 🔥

It's INSANE.

No matter what…

Never stop talking about the Epstein Files.

Never stop talking about the Epstein Files.

Never stop talking about the Epstein Files.

No matter what.

Fox and Freind should not be presidential advisors

This race isn’t over.

Northwest Georgia showed up in a BIG way, and now we head to a runoff.

Momentum is real. The coalition is growing.

Let’s finish what we started.

On to the runoff. #GA14

A post (on another platform) calling Cato a liberal organization was not on my bingo card.

Maga is really a very thin skinned group

SEVEN. That’s how many strikes hit near the Iranian girls’ school.

Video shows a tomahawk missile hitting a building next to the school. The kind of “precision” you get when an incompetent administration runs a war on outdated intelligence.

Don’t look away —we should all see the deadly destruction
