The killing of Iranian children during an illegal war is an impeachable offense (not to mention a grave crime) and Congress should really act like it.
15 Republicans in the Senate could end this nightmare before it somehow gets even worse.
I was on a Jet Blue flight this week and noticed on their in flight tracking maps they name the Gulf of America as the body of water south of Texas. I almost barfed.

Four Democratic Reps voted against the Kaine / Paul / Massie / Khanna war-powers resolution to affirm Congressional power to initiate war:
Jared Golden (ME)
Greg Landsman (OH)
Henry Cuellar (TX)
Juan Vargas (CA)
It failed in the House 212-219
(With their votes? 216-215)
We can throw another $500,000,000,000 at the Pentagon this year and spend $1,000,000,000/day on a wholly useless war, but we can't afford to hire doctors and nurses to take care of our veterans? The United States is such an irresponsible, messed up country right now.
Ben Stiller is calling out the White House after it used a clip from Tropic Thunder in a video promoting the Iran war.
“We never gave you permission and have no interest in being part of your propaganda machine. War is not a movie,” Stiller wrote.
Periodic reminder that ICE does not just track and watch immigrants. They are collecting and storing information on us all.
DHS claimed "an ICE agent had fired 'defensive shots' into Martinez's vehicle after Martinez 'intentionally ran over' another agent."
But body cam video now "shows that Martinez's vehicle, a blue Ford Fusion, was stationary or going at a very low rate of speed when he was fatally shot."
Subpoena all of it. And him, too. The FBI found this witness credible enough to interview her four times. Enough with this cover up.
Our troops are dying this isn’t a video game. The White House is posting so-called “hype” videos that mix real footage from the war in Iran with clips from movies and video games like Call of Duty. It’s an absolute disgrace.
The Department of Justice has sued 30 states and DC for access to their unreacted sensitive voter data. My law firm is fighting them in all 30 cases.
We are dedicating so many resources because these are the most important legal fights and the future of free and fair elections is at stake.
These soldiers have lost their lives because of the Epstein files.
This is not the best part of the firing, but it’s in the Top 10.
Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say “Send me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact.
How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.
Well, imagine that …
You guys ever think about how, if Al Gore had been president on 9/11, we might be energy independent now? I wish I didn’t.
Great news all around in this thread. Welcome aboard. Looking forward to what comes next.
MASSIE: “Iran is not Venezuela. The Ayatollah was not a president. He was a religious leader… 🇺🇸 & 🇮🇱 turned him into a martyr, expended billions, 6 🇺🇸 families must now lay to rest their sons & daughters. And for what? This administration can't even give us a straight answer.”
So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.
That's roughly $1 billion per day.
$41,666,667 per hour.
$11,574 per second.
People do not want this.
They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.
Americans have seen ample proof that when the Republican Party goes looking for waste, fraud and abuse they look no further than programs that feed the poor or help improve the well being of citizens. If you really want to see waste fraud and abuse look at the military and corporate farm subsidies.
Light blue butterflies on purple flowers. Green grass in the background.
Everything is terrible in the world right now except for these Silvery Blue butterflies enjoying some vetch flowers. #Bloomscrolling 🦋
