I can’t believe how stupid everything is

This was clear from the jump, but the Venezuela invasion going as smoothly as it did, from a pure operational perspective, is going to prove catastrophic in the long run.

I continue to be gobsmacked at 1) how common this formulation is 2) how antisemitic and generally bigoted it is 3) and how for all the talk of anti-semitism this is never cited as an example even though it’s quite literally the original incarnation.

A democratic candidate just won in the *checks notes*

Arkansas state house special election.

Flip from R to D.

Trump and Hegseth both opened the door to boots on the ground in Iran today.

Who the fuck voted for that?

Thank God Congress isn't alive to see what's been happening in the United States

So for all you “leave NATO” dummies out there, wanna explain how we defend ourselves without them?

Britain, France, Germany, the GCC (Bahrain, Kuwait, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Oman) are currently knocking down Iranian missiles and drones.

And this is just Iran. Not a peer.

😕

I don’t think he’s getting that Nobel Peace Prize

CONGRESS declares war.

NOT President tRumpstein.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

The evidence of corporate consolidation is everywhere.

It means more power for them and less freedom for you.

Some of the most honest symbolism I’ve seen

It’s wild how Republicans went from:

“Obama is using Jade Helm to set up secret FEMA death camps and is going to turn the US into a police state and take our guns!!!”

To:

“Surveil me harder, daddy. 🥵”

Nope!!!!

When you think about it for more than 5 seconds, it really is both insane and outrageous that *HILLARY CLINTON* - a woman who apparently has never met with nor corresponded with Jeffrey Epstein was one of the first people deposed.

I'm begging my fellow politicians, Illinoisans, and Americans to realize that right now, we aren't fighting over policy or political party.

We're fighting over whether we're going to be a country rooted in empathy and kindness — or one rooted in cruelty and rage.

Cool cool. And we want to take humans out of the kill chain. 🤦‍♂️

On February 19, 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed E.O. 9066, authorizing the forced relocation & incarceration of more than 125,000 Japanese Americans, solely because of their heritage.

Every time a potential conflict pops up, someone inevitably calls me a war hawk.

No. Not even close. Nobody who has seen the horrors of war should wish for more.

I’ve spent my adult life in this space. Please don’t mistake understanding and analyzing conflict as wanting it to happen.

Congressman Ted Lieu tells reporters that the Epstein Files contain horrific allegations of the orange felon raping children and threatening to kill children.

That monster should’ve been sent to prison forever, not the White House.

Keep talking about the Epstein Files.

The “see, I have receipts” starter pack. 🤡

Congress: he can’t go to war without us!!!

I mean… technically, you’re right.

Maybe do something about it other than a strongly worded letter.

This is what I’ve been talking about for weeks now.

There’s still a potential (read: very very small) for an off-ramp, but they aren’t sending all this hardware into the region for nothing.

For anyone keeping track of the Iran buildup, we’ve now sent more AWACS into theater.

Curious to see how tomorrow’s talks go, but it’s pretty clear the administration isn’t planning for them to be good.

History teaches us that the greatest harms often begin with the quiet acceptance of the unacceptable. I have seen where that road leads, and I will not walk it again without resistance.

Disgraceful fraud John Fetterman is calling on all Senate Democrats to vote in favor of DHS/ICE-Gestapo funding.

Pennsylvania, I hope you fire this traitor.

It shouldn’t be harder for a woman to register to vote than a man…
