That's funny, I could have sworn he said something about not needing Royal Navy vessels because the war was already won.
You broke it Don, you fix it.

Wall art at Union Market in DC reads, β€œOPERATION EPSTEIN FURY.”

Look closer. Fallen soldiers’ names: Nicole Amor, Declan Coady, Noah Tietjens. Each marked, β€œDID NOT HAVE TO DIE.”

And at the bottom, the gut punch: β€œFIGHTING IRAN FOR THE EPSTEIN CLASS.”

Ossoff: "The WH put out a video depicting this war as a video game. When service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, & even more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this WH treats war like a game. It's a disgrace. And it speaks to a moral rot."

The SAVE America Act is a voter suppression scam. It would take away the rights of working people to make their voices heard at the ballot box.

The Senate must reject this bill.

How Trump hacked the judiciary His fake "emergencies" are pushing the country toward autocracy.

New in PN: How Trump hacked the judiciary

"The DOJ hit on a strategy that works: exploiting little-known, sometimes never-before-used laws as the basis for Trump’s constant states of emergency. Because of gaps in the law, Trump is able to exploit the judiciary’s deference to the executive branch."

Slotkin: "If Russia is helping to kill US forces, we have crossed a rubicon. We have to take decisive action on that. Instead, we're giving them breaks on oil. They're making a ton of money."

Signs of a man working toward making America great again? Not on your life unless you prove he's as batty as someone jumping front of a taxiing plane.

Frankly, I think he's egotistically cunning.

1) Trump spends his first year, making America more energy dependent on oil

2) Then he starts a war to drive up oil prices even more.

Another word you might use for it is "looting".

"This appears to be the first administration to take such widespread advantage of taxpayer-funded military housing to accommodate political appointees who do not have a direct connection to the military..."

BREAKING: As many as 150 U.S. troops have been wounded in the war with Iran, according to sources familiarβ€”far higher than the Pentagon’s publicly disclosed figure of just 8 seriously wounded troops. The true toll of this war is already far worse than the public has been told. (Reuters)

Kim: The vast majority of what I hear in these classified briefings can be said publicly, but they intentionally do this to as a tactic to be able to prevent the American people from hearing and questioning what it is that they're doing.

They know that the American people do not want a war

Schatz: We don’t know for sure, but the likely bombing of an elementary school with one of our Tomahawk missiles is not a one-off mistake. It is the result of a change in policy so that the United States has way looser rules of engagement β€” way more tolerance for civilian harm.

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.
