As my life moves on I appreciate more than ever my time in Higher Education as a student, staff and teacher I think often of Bob Dylan’s lyrics “I was so much older then I'm younger than that now.” I think he was on to something.

Murphy: "Literally in my other ear I'm listening to Ted Cruz on another network explain why this mission is so essential to destroy the nuclear program. I may have to walk over there and tell him the admin is now briefing that getting rid of the nuclear program has nothing to do with this mission."

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.”

Jimmy Kimmel recently mocked Trump during his monologue, telling the audience the diapered don can't testify under oath like Pam Bondi or the Clintons, because "if he swears to tell the truth, that's already perjury."

I could get mad about Trump lifting sanctions on Russian oil, but I'm old enough to remember when US intelligence said a Russian GRU unit was paying bounties to kill American and coalition forces in Afghanistan. But Trump "didn't know anything about that".

Chris Murphy: "I Just came from a two hour, closed door classified briefing on the war. It just confirmed to me it's totally incoherent. We are not gonna be able to achieve any of our stated objectives ... this is a disaster of epic proportions, a 10 day debacle"

No, you sycophantic chode. He’s not stopping the threat, he’s encouraging an attack.

AOC: The Pentagon has not passed an audit, and they are out here trying to kick people with disabilities off of Medicaid. It is corruption that is stealing from the public coffers — and that is the actual waste, fraud, and abuse.

Chris Murphy: "I think it's likely the United States that carried out this attack on this school. I think it's unforgivable under any circumstances, but the fact this was one of our first targeting decisions speaks to the incompetence of our leadership at the Dept of Defense."

BREAKING: Footage that has just confirmed that TRUMP LIED and it was a US Tomahawk missile that hit the girls’ in southern Iran killing 180 people, most of which were children.

The fact that Trump has blatantly lied about this should have every single American questioning why he lied to us all.

The real problem is that we have a president who is being blackmailed by Netanyahu and Putin.

Whatever it is, it must be pretty bad.

Why on earth would a GOP Congress go along with this?

The ultimate answer is money.

The White House put out a series of hype videos about the war. Some have been defending it by saying military members themselves share these kinds of videos.

This is true. But they aren’t the White House. The WH is a bunch of children, and have no sobriety about the serious business of war.

The Middle East is on fire. Gas prices are soaring. Jobs are disappearing. Senile Satan is golfing again.
