A bunch of signs are currently indicating the Trump regime is going to ground-invade Iran.

Trump multiple times just today has said the country is at war. War can only be declared by Congress, and Iran posed no imminent threat. What Trump is doing there is a textbook illegal war and impeachable offense — if we still had a Congress.

When we say that Democrats can still make a difference in the minority, this is what we're talking about. Garcia has been a model for his colleagues here.

it really is just stunningly on the nose that the opening salvo to Trump’s supposed war
of liberation in Iran began with bombing a girl’s school.

if you put that in fiction people would dismiss it as being too maudlin and heavy-handed, and yet this kind of thing just keeps actually happening.

Iran, which is being beat to HELL, has apologized and surrendered to its Middle East neighbors, and promised that it will not shoot at them anymore. This promise was only made because of the relentless U.S. and Israeli attack. They were looking to take over and rule the Middle East. It is the first time that Iran has ever lost, in thousands of years, to surrounding Middle Eastern Countries. They have said, “Thank you President Trump.” I have said, “You’re welcome!” Iran is no longer the “Bully of the Middle East,” they are, instead, “THE LOSER OF THE MIDDLE EAST,” and will be for many decades until they surrender or, more likely, completely collapse! Today Iran will be hit very hard! Under serious consideration for complete destruction and certain death, because of Iran’s bad behavior, are areas and groups of people that were not considered for targeting up until this moment in time. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Trump's psychotic, murderous post: "Iran is being beat to HELL … They said, 'Thank you President Trump.' I said, 'You’re welcome!' ... Today Iran will be hit very hard! Under serious consideration for destruction & certain death are groups of people not considered for targeting until this moment"

There are not enough conservative Christians on the court that overturned abortion rights and weakened the separation of church and state.

Memo to America: we fucking warned you he’d do this

Perhaps the scourge of pronouns was somewhat overrated

TSA still isn't getting paid while DHS is shut down. At some point, sickouts and other wildcat strikes, or just straight up attrition, are going to remove capacity and cause long lines to start to snarl at airports across America.

Unless something suddenly causes people to fly a lot less.

"Freedom is slavery"

My school district is being forced to lay off several educators and a librarian because of a $500,000 budget gap, or roughly the amount spent on the war while I was typing this post.

Crude oil is now up 49.65% so far this year.

For people who blather so much about Western Civilization and how they’re supposedly saving it, it’s like they’ve never heard of the canonical Ancient Greek concept of “hubris.”

U.S. payrolls unexpectedly fell by 92,000 in February; unemployment rate rises to 4.4% Nonfarm payrolls were expected to increase 50,000 in February while the unemployment rate held steady at 4.3%.

Bad jobs report amid tariff drag, weaker than expected, and that’s not yet factoring in the war in Iran:

loss of 92K jobs, and unemployment rises to 4.4%

Wait until the oil/gas price surge kicks in.

Trump: I need to get rid of Kristi Noem, she's making ME look bad. Who is the worst, least qualified, most incompetent, ignorant dummy I can replace her with? Ah yes! Markwayne Mullin will be perfect.

Chummy Senate Democrats who mysteriously imagine that genuine fascists are good colleagues will be the end of this republic.

Vermont, you've got to give this guy a call.

This is unbelievable.

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.

NBC's top climate reporter quits In an exclusive interview, veteran NBC meteorologist Chase Cain opens up about burnout, suppression, and why he's going independent.

Corporate broadcast coverage of climate change fell 35% in the last year, even as Trump systemically dismantled climate policy and billion-dollar disasters rose

The gradual deprioritization led NBC climate reporter Chase Cain to hit a breaking point, and he quit last week

Here's our interview:

Pill-shaming is ableism.

It derives from poor science literacy and pseudoscientific health ideology in the anti-psychiatry movement and alternative medicine industry.

There's no shame in accepting medication.

No one deserves to experience stigma.
