Congressman Jared Huffman served a #CupOfJoe that’s undeniably strong.

And he runs for Michigan seat every election cycle, loses, and then you don’t hear from him until… next election cycle.

I don't go in for most media-bashing on here, but this new thing where Trump calls access reporters during trading hours and gives them the SCOOP that the war's about to end is pretty egregious.

Who could possibly have foreseen that war on Iran would (a) make Iran retaliate by closing the strait of Hormuz, which (b) could disrupt world oil markets, enriching Russia and penalizing most everyone else?

Who, indeed, except EVERYONE WHO HAS EVER THOUGHT FOR ONE MINUTE about the situation.

'Election war games' advised to stop Trump from stealing the midterms: lawmaker β€” Raw Story The Democratic Party must act now to stump Donald Trump's election-stealing promises, according to a party representative gearing up for the election cycle.

Midterms are coming and Dems are being warned to run β€œelection war games” now. Rep. Auchincloss says you have to assume Trump will try to steal it if he loses because he’s never accepted losing before. Protect the vote. Or watch history repeat. πŸ—³οΈπŸ”₯

Five Things to Know About the SAVE America Act The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE America) Act requires voters to provide documentary proof of citizenship at the time of registration and a photo ID at the time of voting.

Important info to know about the SAVE America Act. It addresses a problem that is non existent. The only part of this bill I agree with is that you have to show your ID when you vote and as far as I know we all have to do this already. It is voter suppression.

Q: What does your win signal about what voters want?

James Talarico: I think people are really sick of the politics we’ve had for the last ten years. The first words out of my mouth on the campaign trail was that the real fight in this country is not left versus right β€” it's top versus bottom.

Nuclear experts undercut White House claims about Iran reactor at heart of case for war The Trump administration sent negotiators without nuclear expertise to lead talks on Iran’s enrichment program. Now, its public case for war centers on a facility that experts say cannot do what offic...

This is a technical story with stunning strategic implications. It is quite possible the US launched a massive war because Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff lacked the technical expertise to even understand what the Iranians were offering in negotiations. Absolute idiocy.

This presser is fucking insane.

Trump threatened to target Iranian electricity production and β€œhit them so hard that nobody can ever rebuild in that location”

That’s not a thing. Even if we nuked them.

He also said we’re bombing Iran to help China. Batshit crazy.

I know several ship captains with Master Unlimited licenses who have piloted the largest vessels on the oceans and they areβ€”to the manβ€”the most risk-adverse people on Earth. They are responsible for dozens of lives and hundreds of millions in assets. 0% chance any sail through Hormuz for a while.
