Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning:
Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime.
And recognized as such by the US Government.

Chris Murphy: “This is the most incompetent, incoherent war America has fought in the last 100 years — this administration has no idea what they are doing
I have great sympathy for our soldiers & our military leaders — they are being given directions by a senile old man who is losing his mind”

Trump lied about the deadly nature of COVID, leading to the needless deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans.
How many Americans will die needlessly because this same man is minimizing the danger of waging war with Iran?
When oh when will Americans end their attraction to sociopaths?

We just learned that 6,000 companies have contracts with ICE. Not just a few hundred. SIX THOUSAND.

Please read and share. The “grassroots” support for the SAVE America Act is a lie. The campaign pushing this bill is being run by Cleta Mitchell and Scott Presler, two of the most notorious election deniers in the country.

While millions are struggling to make ends meet, Donald Trump is exploiting the presidency to get even richer through shady crypto deals and blatant self-dealing.

The glibness. The indifference. The carelessness. The utter lack of planning for a war against a country of 90M. The sickness of a man who acts on whim that will kill thousands not hundreds. The horror of a regime that enables this sickness. The broken body politic that votes in such malignancy.

Police say Jan. 6 plaque is unlawfully hidden from public at U.S. Capitol
Two police officers argue in a court filing that their lawsuit should continue because a law required a prominent display for the plaque.
Officers who defended the Capitol on Jan. 6 asked a judge to let their lawsuit over an honorary plaque proceed, arguing its current placement still violates federal law.
“Hidden from visitors, the plaque’s current location is no better than the basement where it sat for years,” the filing states.

“The American military is tremendous. It is the greatest in the world.”
I applaud the members of our military and we have very expensive technology.
But organizations are only as good as their leaders, and we have some dumb people running our military. It shows.

While this Admin spends nearly $1 billion a day on a war in the Middle East that has claimed the lives of 7 U.S. service members and doing the bidding of billionaires—Americans are struggling to put food on the table and a roof over their heads.
But, House Dems are working for the American people!
