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.
It’s almost like we didn’t think this through.
Ukraine offers to help defend the West from Iranian drones.
Russia helps Iran track American forces.
And the White House eases sanctions on Russian oil.
Explain that to the families of U.S. troops. My latest:

Trump is undoubtedly the most deranged, corrupt, sociopathic president the country has ever seen and is guilty of so much more than this one incident. The fact that he hasn't already been impeached and removed is a testament to the moral bankruptcy of 40 percent of the country.

I feel like his aides do his social media. Which begs the question, are his aides GOP?
Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs
I don’t know what it’s going to take for people to wake up.
BREAKING: Trump was just asked if Americans should be worried about retaliatory attacks at home: “I guess… Like I said, some people will die.”
Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"
"Forget about next."
This is not rewriting the rules👇
The Constitution is clear: Congress decides on war. When a president uses military force without authorization and Congress stays silent, they are abandoning their role as a co equal branch of government. War is the most serious power our government has. Shame on the U.S. Senate today.
We bombed a girls elementary school.
Hopefully, people will start to take the Epstein files seriously and get the people who are in them arrested.
Reuters Exclusive
"U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school."
"The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the Middle East."
This is a waste of tax payers money.
AOC: He impulsively went in on Venezuela. He impulsively went in on Iran. It led to increased global instability and every time he’s done that, it has been consistent with a spike in what is happening with the Epstein files. I think that he feels existentially tied to it.
Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. But right now, they’re under attack.
Several Republican-controlled states have redrawn their congressional maps to give themselves an unfair advantage in the midterm elections.
There's a pathological level of desire to convince us that people want a "return to normal" when the fact that "normal" was pretty awful for most folks is exactly why Trump is president. Dems seem to believe that if they excise any remnant of passion, principle, or personality they'll win.
He lied about a pandemic that killed 1 million Americans. He won’t hesitate to keep lying about the Mideast war he started.
I loved this bit in The Guardian: Marco Rubio, the US secretary of state, said on Tuesday that Iran was run by “religious fanatic lunatics” – and Khamenei’s appointment is hardly likely to dispel that opinion.
Get a fucking mirror Marco!
Hillary Clinton never even met Jeffrey Epstein, but was forced to testify about him. #CoverUp
Seems accurate.
the kind of thing that gets played at a war crimes trial
Mercy has a place in justice.
But clemency for someone convicted of undermining election systems sends the wrong message at the worst possible time.

Huge slap in the face to democracy. Democratic Colorado governor, @colorado.gov, just publicly signaled clemency to Tina peters, convicted of election interference. If election crimes have no consequences, why would the next denier stop?

I think what makes this moment educational, is that in the moment he could have shown his intelligence, authority & command of the situation by telling officers to stop, let the Marine get his arm free, then escort him out.
But he exhibited how limited his thinking is. Brute force.
Its all he knows.
