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"
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:
Trump has created more enemies of the American people than anyone else in history.
Australia granted humanitarian visas to two more members of the Iranian women's soccer team who decided to stay in the country due to fears for their safety if they returned home reut.rs/40oFXA4
Whoa, that's a stinger to a struggling party.
When Massachusetts passed a "millionaires tax" in 2023, conservatives claimed the rich would flee.
But two years later, they haven't — and MA has collected $5.7B for infrastructure and public education.
A reminder that positive change can still happen at the state level.
Really appreciate this from CAJ:
The CAJ has reached out (after I posted this).
Looking good girls!
Sgt. Brian McGinnis is out of jail after he was arrested for expressing his opposition to the US war on Iran in Congress. Capitol Police officers and Senator Sheehy broke his arm as they removed and arrested him.
For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:
Tax cuts for the rich
...don’t trickle down
Boosting military spending
...doesn’t bring peace
Slashing regulations
...doesn’t create jobs
Folks, we’ve seen this all before.
We could end homelessness and hunger tomorrow if we wanted to.
We could agree that everyone should be fed and housed.
We could admit that being disabled, poor, homeless or unemployed is not a moral failing.
That society would be better off if everyone’s basic needs were met.
And Monte makes a great save! 😄
I think you're right. Doby is a horse, he can play a lot
Can t argue..goaltending is a gap
Kamala Harris: "I predicted a lot about what's happening right now. I'm not here to say 'I told you so,' but we did see it coming."
You raise a good Q...
The gas in those pumps was refined weeks ago, from oil extracted months ago, none of which came through the Straits of Hormuz. So why does it cost 15c more per litre than it did LAST Friday? I ask why, in

Like clockwork.
Workers and their families drive the economy.
Prime Minister Carney at a defence technology showcase in Canberra, Australia.
Canada and Australia trust each other. We share the same values, and we can become even closer partners in defence.
We’re seizing this opportunity to do more training together, share more intelligence, and partnering to build out our defence industries.
Two white nationalists I exposed in a recent article showed up to try to intimidate me in person last night.
This is a press freedom issue.
Here’s what happened:
Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks.
They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors.
Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption.
Watch how they vote this week.
OF COURSE Iran is fighting back!
OF COURSE the conflict is spreading!
What did they think would happen?
The US is being run by half-wits…
That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.
Reminder that Congress has the power to stop this.
