Americans are dying so that Kushner can make money

Donald Trump is notorious for filing lawsuits at the drop of a hat. He's filed over 4,000 of them. Many for defamation.

But Donald *will not* sue Ted Lieu for defamation. Why? He's been told by lawyers that in defamation actions, truth is an absolute defense.

Everyday people: Here is a big problem.

Experts: We researched it, it is a huge problem, need to solve it asap.

Politicians: Ok, we will look at it in 5-10 years, but only if it politically beneficial to us, but first vote on me 3 times in a row.

Trump keeps referring to his incursion into Iran as an excursion.
Theory 1: He thinks it's a field trip, or
Theory 2, He doesn't know what the words mean.

A more honest and accurate headline would be:

"Trump assured massive profits to fuel Putin's war on Europe while simultaneously paying off oil execs who bankrolled his campaign."

Ossoff: "The WH put out a video depicting this war as a video game. When service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, & even more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this WH treats war like a game. It's a disgrace. And it speaks to a moral rot."

We are a nation of 349M, yet one man decided to launch our nation into a reckless, illegal war without congressional authorization or counsel or the support of the American people. He didn’t think he had any duty to sell it or serve the people’s interests. This is why despotic rule is so dangerous.

Army Officer Killed in University Attack That Is Being Investigated as Terrorism

So school shootings are fine until they kill a military person, then suddenly they’re terrorism. Got it.

With oil prices skyrocketing, take a moment to remember all the renewable energy and electric vehicle initiatives this administration tore up.

Trump really thinks he can end a war he started by lying about them surrendering on social media. That’s not how this works

The U.S. is being terrorized by ICE, not Iran.

Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.

Trump removed the sanctions on Russian oil, pouring billions of dollars into Russia and directly boosting aid to Russia in their war against Ukraine

Trump is aiding the enemy, pure and simple, for the world to see and understand.

Trump is a traitor to the United States.

Oh, honey . . . just because you played dress-up at a fake "military academy" that your parents sent you to because you were such an unmanageable, obnoxious teenager doesn't mean you were in the miliary. You had that duty, but lied to get out of it.

The President of the United States casually talking about destroying a country β€œin an hour” should chill every democracy on Earth.

This is exactly why leadership requires restraint, diplomacy, and respect for human life.πŸ‘‡

We’ve never, ever had this before. A President completely untethered to truth. I mean completely untethered to truth. That’s such a bad thing. But you know what’s even worse? Way, way too many people don’t care. And way too much of the media no longer cares.πŸ‘‡

One reassuring point β€” if the USA loses, Donald Trump will tell everyone that it only happened because everyone else cheated. He will say he was treated unfairly, and none of this is his fault.

The killing of schoolchildren should shock our conscience and cause us to recoil in horror.

A nation whose leaders can so easily shrug off the death of children, no matter the cause, is in need of moral repair. 

There must be accountability and lessons learned from this tragedy. And we must never forget that Iranian children, too, are children of God.

More rumors are going around Netanyahu is preparing to use nukes against Iran to stop the war. This would be a war crime and a stain the the American people that will never wash off.

I kid you not... The same White House that forgot that invading Iran might lead it to close the Strait of Hormuz, is now arguing (through Peter Navarro) that war with Iran is a good idea because it'll prevent Iran from closing the Strait of Hormuz.

Murphy: I have great sympathy for our soldiers and our military leaders they are being given directions by a senile old man who is losing his mind. And so it's no surprise that this war is going horribly

Yesterday, Jeffrey Epstein's former account testified, under oath, that the Epstein Estate paid a settlement to one of the women accusing Donald Trump of raping her as a minor, AFTER Epstein had died.

This would end any other President instantly. But the press doesn't care.
