“Like I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die.”
That’s what the President of the United States is saying to the American people.
He won’t be hurt by a retaliatory attack or high gas prices. But you will — and that’s a sacrifice he’s willing to make.
He seems pretty sensitive whenever someone confronts him with evidence that Putin might not be our friend. Even when Fox brings it up.
They’ll do this smear campaign to every country if they don’t go all in for trumps war. Trump will do something to force NATO to have to join. You watch. This man wants & will not stop until he has his WWIII. I too live in Europe & yes the Trump Admin is a ship of fools that’s laughed at. It’s sad,
Lucifer has a point
Trump doesn't have an ounce of class.
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.
To state tge obvious: tge Constitution requires the President to get the votes prior to going to war.
The idea that war opponents have to muster a majority in Congress after the war is started... that's contrary to the Constitution.
We desperately need to grow independent media as fast as we can. You can start by signing up for Democracy Docket. I started it 6 years ago to be unapologetic pro-democracy. No corporate backers. It will never bow down or obey.

There should be zero financial incentive to become a politician. It should be codified.
Subpoena all of it. And him, too. The FBI found this witness credible enough to interview her four times. Enough with this cover up.
Congratulations to @eugenedaniels2.bsky.social and @jonathancapehart.bsky.social on their win! #GLAADAwards @glaad.bsky.social
There have been some very bad developments today.
10 years ago, Bernie Sanders warned America of the unintended consequences that could emerge from a regime change war with Iran. Watch.
Ossoff: "The president owes Americans a real explanation. 2am posts on Truth Social just aren't good enough when you're sending Americans into combat. He was dancing at his beach club the same night he ordered air crews to launch into combat & hours before our service members endured missile salvos"
Why are we bombing schools and hospitals?!?!
At least the State Department had a great plan in place to evacuate all the Americans from the Middle East who are trying to leave.
I am concerned to see the escalation of conflict in the Middle East, and that the UK has allowed the US to use its bases for strikes on Iran. No matter how the Prime Minister tries to redefine offensive as defensive, this is a mistake.
Rubio has a super duper secret plan. Code name: Epic Fail.
The glibness. The indifference. The carelessness. The utter lack of planning for a war against a country of 90M. The sickness of a man who acts on whim that will kill thousands not hundreds. The horror of a regime that enables this sickness. The broken body politic that votes in such malignancy.
Grieving for the four American service members known so far to have been killed in action, and praying for the families of these patriots who gave the ultimate sacrifice.
So far we’ve heard 12 different primary reasons for the war, 7 different main objectives, and 5 different exit strategies.
Holland is a wooden shoe.
Hungary, a goulash stew.
Australia, a kangaroo.
America is a gun.

Can we just put Trump in orbit for a few decades?
When the President of the United States views "We the People" as a threat to his power, he has abdictated his sworn duty to serve us and must be immediately removed from office.
I think we need to take a step back and acknowledge the absurdity of House Republicans targeting their Epstein investigation on HILLARY CLINTON (who says she never met him!) while ignoring DONALD TRUMP (who Epstein described as his best friend!)
These are not serious people or good faith actors.

I tuned in to the State of the Union, and saw nothing but a firehose of lies.
If the President won't tell you the state of the economy, I will: Here's an honest assessment of the (economic) state of the union. No reality TV gimmicks, just nerdy numbers.
