How Congress Set the Stage for Trump’s Illegal War in Iran Generations of lawmakers, straying from the Founders’ ideals—and fears—led inevitably to this era of unaccountable warmongering.

Inside the latest, and scariest, iteration of America’s endless abortion wars After Trump’s mass pardons of anti-abortion activists, threats and harassment at clinics have surged.

After Trump was reelected, he quickly pardoned anti-abortion activists convicted of harassing and threatening clinic patients and staff. Federal investigations into bomb threats against clinics suddenly vanished.

Their excuse is BS.

That’s nice. Now release the other thousands upon thousands of pages, and quit redacting the names of the rapists.

CPAC Head Says Iranian Schoolgirls Are Better Dead Than “in a Burqa” Leading Republicans don’t seem to care about the bombing of a girls’ school in Iran.

Matt Schlapp has attempted to justify the killing of more than 100 young girls at an elementary school in southern Iran, by claiming they were saved from religious extremism. trib.al/DJ8uEUJ

The next one. This is what happens when the GOP Congress is utterly supine. Unconstitutional acts domino on top of one another and the rule of law is meaningless.

Deeply disappointing @slotkin.senate.gov @peters.senate.gov. The only response to this illegal war is get out and investigate the self-serving lies that spawned it. #NoWar

MAGA only understands violence, hate and anger

They don't know how to handle PEACEFUL, INCLUSIVE and JOYOUS

BE THOSE and STAY SAFE

Senator Mark Kelly would like to know if the missile program was obliterated, why are we at war today with Iran. No one has an answer though.😒

If you give Trump more money now because he illegally started war and now you feel that you have no choice but to defend this war and the country then you just got played by a con man.

Not a dime for this Iran war
