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."

Guess What Moderate Democratic Voters Aren’t Anymore? Moderate. Two new polls suggest that moderate Democrats, too, want higher taxes on the rich and some measure of economic populism. Moderate isn’t what it was in 1992.

Moderate Democrats with columns in newspapers are constantly saying the Democratic Party is way too liberal on "social" issues. Moderate Democratic voters in real life do not feel this way. With some polling data from @gelliottmorris.com and @dataforprogress.org. newrepublic.com/article/2074...

AI error or not, Iran school bombing is a permanent stain on America’s soul | Will Bunch A debate on AI in warfare obscures the truth about an Iran school bombing. U.S. humans are to blame for this war crime.

Wounded Knee. Tulsa. My Lai. Abu Ghraib

And now, Minab

We need to talk about the horror when 180 little schoolgirls, boys and teachers were obliterated by U.S. Tomahawk missiles last week. And tell Congress: Not one more dime for these war crimes

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.

So according to the WSJ a US Senator conspired with another country to manipulate the US into starting a war, am I getting this right

if you're not watching/listening/reading international news sources, you are not going to appreciate all of the spillover damage the US-Israel attack has been afflicting on folks outside Iran, and even outside the Middle-East. This is of course beyond the horrors in Iran, southern Lebanon, etc.

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."

Israel Has Dropped 4,000 Bombs on Iran β€” The Same Amount as 12-Day War in a Third of the Time The death toll has already surpassed that of last year's war, with Iranian officials reporting 1,230 killed so far.

"4,000 bombs."

"Israeli military announced that it dropped as many bombs on Iran as Israel used during the entirety of the 12-day war last year over just a third of the time."

"4,000 civilian buildings in Iran have been damaged."

Iran's FM condemns US attack on Qeshm's freshwater desalination plant, warns of grave consequences US President Donald Trump announced that Iran promised not to attack its neighbours anymore

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.

I am really surprised at how many people were closet admirers of Jesse Jackson (who have now come out of the closet)...Amazing that he didn't win the Democratic nomination when he ran.

Unsurprisingly, Trump's immigration crackdown is still not delivering labor market improvements for the US-born

Over the last year, native-born unemployment is up from 4.3% to 4.7% while native-born employment has decreased

ICE detains reporter Estefany RodrΓ­guez in Nashville - Nashville Banner Reporter Estefany RodrΓ­guez, detained by ICE with no arrest warrant, may face deportation. Her attorneys seek immediate review of the legality of her case.

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.

They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.
