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.

Subpoena all of it. And him, too. The FBI found this witness credible enough to interview her four times. Enough with this cover up.

Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"

MAGA Stole Obama’s Playbook How the right learned Obama’s gameβ€”and what Mamdani and Indivisible show about taking it back from the mucky mucks LIKE RAHM EMMANUEL who tossed it aside.

A collaboration of the LAPD and the LAUSD, Drug Abuse Resistance Education spread across the country like the drug war, from the top down. Reagan declared a National DARE Day with the enthusiasm of a rich white man who’d found his Gary Coleman. Then, after years of implementation, the data came in.

In the last 14 months of Biden's term, 1,740,000 total jobs were created. In the first 14 months of Trump's current term, 150,000 jobs were created. That's a ratio of 11.6 to 1 ...

The idea that "Republicans do better on the economy" is and has always been BS.

Bodycam video contradicts ICE claims in fatal shooting of U.S. citizen Ruben Ray Martinez in Texas Video of last year's fatal shooting of Ruben Ray Martinez obtained by CBS News appears to contradict claims that Martinez was shot by an ICE agent because he "accelerated" and "intentionally ran over"...

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."

Trump promised to lower costs and instead engaged in a trade war that sent the cost of everything surging.

His presidency is a graveyard of broken promises. Meanwhile, he's doubled his own net worth. Can any of his voters say the same?

Don Huffines wins GOP primary for Texas comptroller Huffines avoided a runoff in a big-money race against acting Comptroller Kelly Hancock and Railroad Commissioner Christi Craddick to be the state’s chief financial officer.

Don Huffines, who was revealed a few weeks ago to have bought Epstein's Zorro Ranch in New Mexico, is the Republican nominee to become the Texas comptroller, the state's chief accountant.

Trump is lifting oil sanctions on Russian while they’re helping Iran target Americans.

Putin definitely has a copy of the Epstein files.

Republican Retirement Rush:
At the core are exhaustion & the lack of momentum.

All is happening in the red states, but the Democratic/Independent challengers may pull a surprise or two WITH VOTERS' HELP.

Screenshot of an X post by Congressman Jared Moskowitz criticizing FEMA under Secretary Kristi Noem, listing issues including the largest FEMA backlog in history, Florida being owed $2.5 billion, delayed disaster declarations, and search-and-rescue teams waiting 72 hours during Texas floods. Below is a video still of Moskowitz speaking during a congressional hearing.

so Iran has apparently knocked out and destroyed / disabled to some extent two U.S. THAAD batteries

This is a massive deal. Aside from the expense, this is not a weapon system we just have a ton of lying around. You don't replace these easily.

Donald Trump has destroyed the economy and started a pointless war. But the wine mom next door still says "Latinx" sometimes. I have never felt more politically homeless.
