Our troops are dying this isn’t a video game. The White House is posting so-called “hype” videos that mix real footage from the war in Iran with clips from movies and video games like Call of Duty. It’s an absolute disgrace.

Something new is coming to one of Seattle’s most historic neighborhoods.

We’re installing a protected bike lane from Occidental Ave S to the waterfront, closing a critical gap in the City Center Bike Network!

Himes: I have a theory on how this ends…

You’re going to see oil go across $100… Projections for economic growth are going to go down.

And at some point in 3-5 weeks, the president is going to say this is really not tenable. And he’s going to declare victory and walk away.

Seems troubling.

More troubling would be the idea that the Administration might have bombed Iran without expecting this.

Pres. Obama at the Jackson service:

"We are living in a time when it can be hard to hope. Each day, we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions."

"If we don't step up, no one else will. How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him."

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."

The Department of Justice has sued 30 states and DC for access to their unreacted sensitive voter data. My law firm is fighting them in all 30 cases.

We are dedicating so many resources because these are the most important legal fights and the future of free and fair elections is at stake.

We can throw another $500,000,000,000 at the Pentagon this year and spend $1,000,000,000/day on a wholly useless war, but we can't afford to hire doctors and nurses to take care of our veterans? The United States is such an irresponsible, messed up country right now.

Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say “Send me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact.

How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.

“Like I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die.”

That’s what the President of the United States is saying to the American people.

He won’t be hurt by a retaliatory attack or high gas prices. But you will — and that’s a sacrifice he’s willing to make.

Oil up by $12 a barrel in less than 12 hours.

Gas prices skyrocketing.

Almost 100,000 jobs lost last month.

Another war in the Middle East.

Are we great again yet?

DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.

He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.

The grift continues.

Investigators now say the U.S. likely bombed a girls’ school in Iran, killing over 160 people, mostly children. If confirmed, it would rank among the worst civilian massacres of America’s Middle East wars.

Please share with us where you took the same position about Israel and the U.S. ‘moving first’ against Iran, or Drumpf ‘moving first’ against Venezuela.

The "five presidents" at Rev. Jesse Jackson's memorial service get another round of applause:

"President Harris, President Clinton, President Bill Clinton, First Lady Jill Biden, President Biden, and Chicago's own southside President Barack Obama."

This made me giggle.

As much as I know the Iranian people are glad to be rid of Khamenei but an illegal war and ex judicial murder of a foreign leader—especially with zero exit plan—will not benefit the people of Iran. Neither does dropping U.S. and Israeli bombs on their girls schools, hospitals, and civilian centers.

Girl, 6, Fatally Shot by Unsecured Gun While Left Alone in Car with Other Children A Detroit girl, 6, was fatally shot in the head while left unattended in a car with an unsecured gun on Monday, March 2. The girl was alone with four other children as her mother went to get food. It'...

A six-year-old girl was fatally shot in the head while left unattended in a car in Michigan. Four other children under the age of 12 were in the car with her.

No child should ever have access to an unsecured gun. This never should have happened.
