A draft for Trump's Iran war? White House says it's 'on the table.' A ground invasion of Iran and a possible military draft are controversial issues that remain β€œon the table” according to an interview with White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt that aired ...

Nothing like possibly being drafted by a serial draft dodger!

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

13 American service members have been killed in this illegal war with Iran under Secretary Pete Hegseth’s watch.

My heart is with their families and loved ones.

But Hegseth won't take accountability. Instead, he's pushing for Donald Trump's billionaire friend to censor CNN.

US responsible for killing Iranian schoolchildren. Trump previously blamed Iran. New reporting confirms American Tomahawk missiles destroyed Shajarah Tayyebeh school on the last day of February. The president earlier said he β€œjust doesn’t know enough about it.”

The War’s Winners: Putin and Netanyahu Regardless of how Trump extricates himself from the Iran mess, the biggest winner is Russia, with Bibi a close second.

Instead of helping Ukraine resist Russia, Trump is burning through the U.S. arsenal to the point where he needs to turn to Ukraine for help. Meanwhile, Netanyahu is cleaning Trump’s clock. buff.ly/OlrXPkw

It's so bad that we've reached a point where members of Congress casually discuss stripping citizenship from and deporting people because they don't like their views.

This won’t stop Iran’s nuclear weapon development. It won’t support the protesters. It won’t lower your costs or fix American healthcare.

It *will* murder countless civilians, destabilize Iran and the region, and drag us into another forever war.
