There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

Our troops are dying this isnโ€™t a video game. The White House is posting so-called โ€œhypeโ€ videos that mix real footage from the war in Iran with clips from movies and video games like Call of Duty. Itโ€™s an absolute disgrace.

MASSIE: โ€œIran is not Venezuela. The Ayatollah was not a president.

Just thinking about what we could do with a billion dollars a day that doesnโ€™t include bombing people.

Abolish ICE has a +11 approval โ€” which means it is *32 points* more popular than Donald Trump

Ask yourself: does corporate media portray that accurately?

When we talk about Baby Boomers not getting off the stage: In 1997, the US president was born in 1946.

In 2007, the US president was born in 1946.

In 2017, the US president was born in 1946.

And next year in 2027? The US president will have been born in 1946.

At some point we will have a conversation about the bogus claim that running a financially successful company equips you for leadership more broadly.

Orwell at his very best could never come up with some of this. Proactively in a defensive way is basically a line from a coen bros film.

Happening now: anti-war protestors are gathereing in Chicago's Congress Plaza for a demonstration against ongoing U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran.

Tonight's rally follows a similar protest in Chicago on Saturday; other anti-war actions are being planned across the city over the week.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.

Reminder that Congress has the power to stop this.

I need to remind people. The midterms have never been so important.

Don't let people use scare tactics or make you think it won't happen.

also if voting didn't matter gerrymandering wouldn't exist.

Spainโ€™s Prime Minister Pedro Sรกnchez on Iran:

โ€œRemember that one can be against a hateful regime, as is the case with the Iranian regime, as is the whole of Spanish society, and at the same time be against an unjustified, dangerous military intervention outside of international law.โ€

Israel & Saudi Arabia pushed the U.S. to attack Iran.

Netanyahu killed 72,000 people in Gaza, mostly women & children.

Saudi Arabia is a brutal dictatorship that allows no opposition.

These are the leaders who want to bring โ€œfreedomโ€ to Iran?

Does anyone really believe that?

A mad kingโ€™s illegal war on Iran is a cry for regime change...in Washington | Will Bunch Democracy really did die in darkness as Donald Trumpโ€™s unconstitutional war on Iran stamps America as a dictatorship.

My instant reaction at 3 a.m. yesterday was not whether Khamenei would be killed or oil prices or anything else but this

This undeclared, unexplained war is illegal. Full stop

28 hours later, it is still the worse abuse of power in U.S. history. Impeach
