If it’s true that the United States bombed an elementary school and killed scores of children it is an unfathomable crime. I have never been more disgusted to be an American.
Since last year, I and Al Shaw & @bxroberts.org have investigated the linkages between Trump appointees and the industries they oversee. Today we published a searchable database containing approximately 3,200 financial disclosure forms of roughly 1500 officials.

It’s not just that the Administration isn’t answering questions about Iran.
They’re lying.
Thank you, Your Holiness. 🙏
Balint to Noem: "You're the secretary of DHS -- for now. And you think you're immune from accountability. But I promise you this: one day he is not gonna be president anymore. And when that day comes, we will still be here. And in hearings like this, we are going to continue to prove your guilt."
AOC: We already have multiple American service members who are dead for an illegal action that the president has pursued with no plan out. They don’t know why they got into this war. They’re talking about a hundred different reasons, and they don’t know how they’re getting out.
Thank you, Texas! I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for Governor of our beautiful state. Together, we’re going to take on corruption and it’s going to be a new day in TX.
You have put your faith in me, and I promise to put my all into fighting for you and your families. On to November!
I'm fine with whoever wins the Texas Democratic Primary.
If you can't win the primary, you can't win the general.
Texas voters will decide.
We don't have the luxury of hard feelings.
Whoever wins, we all need to get behind them 1000%.
Talarico and Crockett are both great candidates.
If what it takes for Republican elected leaders to locate a basic modicum of decency is to retire well...win/win.
10 years ago, Bernie Sanders warned America of the unintended consequences that could emerge from a regime change war with Iran. Watch.
Maybe his head is rotting?
There’s a pretty robust case to make that the Iran Hostage crisis of 1979, the revolution itself, and the policies of the Iranian government towards the US
since, was all blowback from the CIA’s decision to overthrow Mossadegh in 1953. www.cnn.com/2013/08/19/p...
America is praying for Austin.
But there is something profoundly cynical about asking God to solve a problem we're not willing to solve ourselves.
God moves and works through us. God has no other hands but our hands.
We must act.
They went to war with Iran (which nobody in America was asking for) so they could conjure an excuse to allow ICE to keep murdering Americans and teargassing schools here at home with impunity (which nobody in America was asking for).
There were two mass shootings last night at bars, one in Austin. Tx Republicans are sharing their thoughts and prayers. They have had 30 years to do something! Instead, they have passed a series of more than 100 laws loosening gun regulations. We need action! #txlege
Did you know that the bees that need saving are NOT honeybees?
Honeybees are the dairy cows of bees. People brought them over from Europe to make us honey.
The problem with honeybees, esp in resource-limited ecosystems (like hey! cities!) is that they compete with our native bees for food.
A United States senator from the president's own party, one who serves on the Select Committee on Intelligence and the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, has no idea what's going on as America goes to war with Iran.
OCASIO-CORTEZ STATEMENT ON TRUMP'S COMBAT OPERATIONS IN IRAN "The American people are once again dragged into a war they did not want by a president who does not care about the long-term consequences of his actions. This war is unlawful. It is unnecessary. And it will be catastrophic. "Just this week, Iran and the United States were negotiating key measures that could have staved off war. The President walked away from these discussions and chose war instead.President Trump flippantly acknowledged the possibility of American casualties, stating "that often happens in war.' "Mr. President: this was not an inevitability. This is a deliberate choice of aggression when diplomacy and security were within reach. Stop lying to the American people. "Violence begets violence. We learned this lesson in Iraq. We learned this lesson in Afghanistan. And we are about to learn it again in Iran. Bombs have yet to create enduring democracies in the region and this will be no different. "In moments of war, our Constitution is unambiguous: Congress authorizes war. The President does not. I will do my part to uphold our Constitution by voting YES on Representatives Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie's War Powers Resolution. Every member of Congress must join us in rejecting this aimless war.
My statement on President Trump’s combat operations in Iran⬇️
We were hysterical. We were shrill. We were proved fucking right.
The U.S. Senate must be clear: no war with Iran.
The people leading the U.S. war on Iran are a former “Fox & Friends” guest and a former “Fox & Friends” host.
This has always been one of my favorite things I have ever written, because everyone in it is awful. Seems relevant right now.
Donald Trump has learned nothing from decades of endless war.
I went to war three times for this country. Working class folks will pay the price of his military adventurism.
Americans are sick of it. I’m sick of it.
The imperial presidency was a mistake. It has led to destruction of clean air and water, mass death abroad, destruction of cancer research, and now illegal war.
We must re-empower Congress, the most democratic branch, and a strong civil service. We can. But that will require Supreme Court reform.

And yet this has been happening since the 90s. So, what if this hastening of the destruction of news brings about a renaissance in non-profit independent investigative media? And when BIG NEWS happens they are the only useful options left? Ps: never underestimate the naive optimism of a Danna.
Having fun in Socorro, Texas. Hola mi raza 👋🏽😘🫶🏼.
