This nation learned the hard way that an unnecessary war, with no plan for what comes next, can lead to years of chaos and put America in still greater danger.
The President has launched our nation and our great military into a war of choice, risking American lives and resources, ignoring American law, and endangering our allies and partners. It does nothing to help with the urgent problems here at home that Americans face every day.
Amid these dark moments, something important is beginning to shift.
It's clearly the result of healthy political pressure - which we must sustain, and build.
Yes, it’s astonishing that Kristi Noem still has her job after the deaths, lies, and failures on her watch.
But the American people have the final say when it comes to holding this entire administration - from the president on down - accountable for its cruelty and corruption.
“Get it all on record now — get the films — get the witnesses — because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened.”
Dwight D. Eisenhower, after visiting liberated concentration camps in April 1945

Post from Pete Buttigieg that reads: If there was ever a moment for libertarians and conservatives to step up and join the rest of us, we’re in it. Americans have to unite and stop this descent from a freedom-loving nation into the kind of place where masked, militarized government agents are sent to politically noncompliant areas to roam the streets, terrorize civilians, and deploy violence with impunity.
They lived, worked, served—and hundreds of them gave their lives—side by side with American troops. Anyone who served in Afghanistan knows how much this mattered, and we will never forget.
It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.
The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.
As of this week, millions of Americans are now paying thousands more for health insurance.
If the President and Congressional GOP think Washington has the capacity to "run" Venezuela right now, why won't they fix the insurance cost crisis they've created here at home?
Donald Trump is way less popular than he wants you to believe.
And you are significantly more powerful than he wants you to think.

Think about what the GOP is revealing with their attempt to suddenly change the Congressional maps: they know their agenda is so unpopular that they're going to lose unless something changes.
Of course, what they should be changing is their policies, not the maps.
Today's jobs report shows 24,000 factory jobs lost in the past three months.
Trump’s first term brought a manufacturing recession. Now his reckless tariffs are making Americans worse off, again.
The President sees a bad jobs report, and responds by getting rid of the person in charge of the statistics. This is how America becomes a third-rate country.
Sixty years ago today, Medicare and Medicaid were signed into law - securing health care for millions and saving countless lives. As GOP politicians try to tear them down, it's up to us to protect and expand these programs for Americans who rely on them today and for future generations.
All of us - not just those on Medicaid or food stamps - will be directly paying for the costs of the billionaire tax breaks in the Trump budget package. Here's how.
Pete points out that everyone will have to pay for Trump's new law:
⬆️ Higher health insurance premiums
⬆️ Higher energy bills
⬆️ Higher interest rates - which make it more expensive to buy a home

Trump promised to cut prices on day one. Instead he increased them - on purpose.
More than ever, Americans must remain grounded in the founding principles of our republic. I'm proud to be among those from across the political spectrum supporting the @weholdtruths.bsky.social to remind us of the values we hold in common, and to help make the Constitution accessible to everyone.
As heartbreaking news continues to emerge from central Texas, @chastenbuttigieg.bsky.social and I are thinking of everyone affected and grateful for the extraordinary work of first responders.
Here are some ways all of us can help:
Wishing everyone a happy Fourth of July!
249 years since we declared independence from a king, the work of living up to our founding promise is more important than ever - and it calls on each of us to do what we can for our country.
What matters most is the harm that will be done to people’s lives if Trump’s budget becomes law. I'm grateful to Stacy for talking with me yesterday and sharing her story about just how much is at stake for her family.
Today proves that Republicans were serious about one promise: to cut taxes for the wealthy. All the rest was bullshit.
Thank you to Stacy for sharing her story - and for doing what any parent would do to make sure their daughter has the care she needs to live at home.
As this bill on GOP Medicaid cuts goes back to the House, it’s not too late to remind Washington politicians just how much is at stake.
This bill would kick millions off their health insurance, and thousands will even lose their lives - unless we stop it in its tracks.
Some Republicans are breaking ranks, showing it's not too late. Time to speak up!
If there was ever a time to call your Senator, this is it.
Voting has begun on the GOP plan to cut off health care for working-class Americans and slash taxes for the wealthiest.
It shouldn't get lost that just today, Senate Republicans have voted to close nursing homes, close rural hospitals, and cut food stamp benefits for children and veterans.
VP Vance has cast the deciding vote in the Senate to cut Medicaid, take away food assistance, blow up the deficit, and add tax breaks for the wealthiest.
This bill is unpopular because it is wrong.
Congress votes this week, but it’s our voices - and our votes - that will have the final say.
