Push from Saudis, Israel helped move Trump to attack Iran President Trump launched a wide-ranging attack on Iran after weeks-long lobbying by an unusual pair of U.S. allies in the Middle East: Israel and Saudi Arabia.

"The attack came despite US intelligence assessments that Iran was unlikely to pose an immediate threat to the US mainland within the next decade."

So why do it?

"A weeks-long lobbying effort by Israel and Saudi Arabia..."

Ah. Not just weak, but cheap, too.

Chris Murphy: "It won't be the billionaire children of Donald Trump and his buddies that die. It's going to be the children of middle class and poor families all across this country that are gonna die for a war of choice, a war of vanity, an illegal war."

Nearly 400 signatures and counting in just a few hours. Let's keep up the momentum and the pressure.

A girls' elementary school. Dozens dead. Perhaps hundreds. Sitting with the profound evil and the mindfck and the knowledge that this war may well have been declared to distract us from the Epstein files and the conspicuously missing evidence that the president of this nation raped 13 year-old girls

I actually am unhinged enough to think it’s not out of the realm of possibility that he launches a war to distract from Epstein files and have a reason to declare a national emergency to suspend voting. It’s not as if lost lives matter to him.

The President has launched our nation and our great military into a war of choice, risking American lives and resources, ignoring American law, and endangering our allies and partners. It does nothing to help with the urgent problems here at home that Americans face every day.

The President boasts of "no tax on tips", but this expires in 2028.
He boasts of "no tax on overtime," but it is taxed, and the break expires in 2028.
He boasts of "no tax on social security," but it is taxed, and his break expires in 2028.

He also passed tax cuts for the rich. They're permanent.

When the going gets tough, the imitation tough attack a marginalized ethnic group with next to no ability to defend themselves.

A reminder: almost all crime in America is committed by our fellow Americans; often by our neighbors and folks we know.

Stop trying to make like there's some kind of grand strategy or secret plan at work. It's not that. Truly. It's the simplest thing you can possibly imagine.

Don't think "four-dimensional chess"

Think "toddler + cheerios"

People don't want data centers polluting their cities.

They don't want masked thugs terrorizing their neighbors.

They don't want warehouses being turned into ICE prisons.

They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home.

They want their basic needs met.

ICYMI β€” The FBI director flew there on the taxpayer dime on a private jet to do this…

Kash in 2023: β€œI’m just saying Chris Wray doesn’t need a government funded G5 jet to go to vacations. Maybe we ground that plane. $15,000 every time it takes off. Just a thought.”

If it's true that the Seattle Seahawks have refused to go meet Drumpf at the Whitehouse, my loyalty to my Bills is being severely tested.

Not really.

Go Bills.

The American president is more insulated from accountability than a British royal.

Our political system provides the elite with immunity. It has to change.
