Elizabeth Warren: "I am a hard no on a supplemental. This is not a war the American people want us to engage in. This is not a war that makes us safer ... No. No more money. The only thing Congress has the power to do is to stop actions like this through the power of the purse."

It's crunch time. Please vote for the Democratic candidates that can beat the AIPAC, ICE-friendly candidates.
In Michigan Senate race, it's McMorrow > Stevens
In Illinois Senate race, it's Stratton> Krishnamoorthi
*yes, other anti-AIPAC/anti-ICE folks, but these folks can win.

Makes me want to believe in hell. At least for folks like this.
Multiple news outlets are reporting a US attack on an Iranian #desalination plant.
If verified, this violates international law protecting #water systems during wars, and it sets a dangerous precedent, given intense dependence of Gulf countries on desalination.

Happening now: ~200 protesters have gathered off Chicago's Michigan Avenue this afternoon for another demo condemning U.S.-Israeli attacks on Iran and Lebanon.
