Congratulations to Shawn Harris, a decorated U.S. Army combat veteran endorsed by VoteVets, on advancing to a runoff in #GA14!
Mockler: The neocon boomers surrounding Trump are mortgaging my generation's future for another very expensive Middle Eastern war. We tried this with Iraq. We tried this with Afghanistan. It left us in trillions and trillions of dollars in debt.
Mockler: I also find it very ironic that Republicans are so welcoming to any form of bigotry but the moment that bigotry is targeted towards them, they freak the hell out
Fmr Trump spokesman: "Let's be consistent."
BTC: "I am being consistent-- that's the problem. I watched Trump on the campaign trail disparage all these other politicians who engaged in wars in the Middle East. And yet here we are. We have dead Americans, rising oil prices, and a war with no plan."
“In my 15 years in the Senate, I have never left a briefing this angry. We are heading down a path toward sending U.S. troops to Iran as ground forces,” — Sen. Richard Blumenthal
Carl withdrew from the nomination process today.
I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.
I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.
1/ Here's what I can share:
Historically, wars start with huge public support.
Trump couldn’t even clear half the country.
41%
That’s not “rally around the flag.” That’s America saying this war looks like a reckless stunt that’s going to cost us all.
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.
WATCH — @jamestalarico.bsky.social : “Every dollar we spend bombing people in the Middle East is one we’re not spending here at home. We’re always told we don’t have enough money for schools or healthcare or for veterans, but there’s always enough to bomb people on the other side of the world.”
WATCH — @warnock.senate.gov : “Trump has attacked 7 countries in the first year of his presidency, more than any president in the modern era.”

You didn’t expect a Trump cabinet official to actually take responsibility did you?
You can judge a family by the company it keeps.
Nobody in this Administration can agree on why they started this war or when it will end. The Secretary of State, the Secretary of Defense, and the President are all saying different things. Servicemembers’ lives are on the line, and they deserve better than this.
The officer who killed Ruben Ray Martinez has been identified as Homeland Security Investigations agent Jack Stevens.
This is real life.
Man if you all are not listening to @David_J_Bier then you are missing out. Dude has all the receipts
Trump 2024 campaign spokesperson:
Kim: The vast majority of what I hear in these classified briefings can be said publicly, but they intentionally do this to as a tactic to be able to prevent the American people from hearing and questioning what it is that they're doing.
They know that the American people do not want a war
NEWS: Democrat Shawn Harris has forced a runoff in the special election for Marjorie Taylor Greene’s deep-red Georgia seat (Trump +37).
With ~70% in, Harris leads with 38.3% to Trump-endorsed Republican Clay Fuller’s 34.5%.
Runoff set for April 7. A major warning sign for MAGA.
Since I wasn’t clear in my last post, lemme try again:
WOW. A democrat got enough votes to force a runoff in this very red district. That it’s even close is bananas. This is MTGs old seat.
Sun Tzu (D-NY) - “When your enemy is making a mistake, fix it for him at great cost to yourself.”
I just left another briefing on Iran.
Here's the only part of Trump's plan that is clear to me:
He won't spare a cent for the 15 million Americans who will lose their health care, but he'll spend a billion dollars a day bombing Iran.
Marco Rubio's BFF is an accused foreign agent and money launderer. His trial is about to start — and Rubio is on the witness list.

Benny Johnson gives Rand Paul an open mic to make the case against Trump's war-mongering and fiscal irresponsibility.
(this is an extremely rare thing on Johnson's show, which is as safe of a space as there is for Trumpers)
Scoop: DHS ousted multiple privacy officers at CBP after they questioned orders to purposely mislabel records about government surveillance to prevent their release under FOIA.
Leavitt confirms that the current "ballpark" total of US soldiers injured fighting Iran is 150
This was my second visit to the ICE facility in Baltimore. Each time, it made the hair stand up on my arms.
The conditions are inhumane, and the treatment of people is unacceptable.
Instead of lowering gas prices, this Administration chooses to spend its time on this CRUELTY.
