Ossoff: "The WH put out a video depicting this war as a video game. When service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, & even more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this WH treats war like a game. It's a disgrace. And it speaks to a moral rot."
Too many people, including some news media, let the truth be trampled upon without thought for what is happening to us and our nation.
The fragile insecure flower is crying again.
NEW: The Iranian drone strike that killed 6 U.S. troops in Kuwait at the start of the war was far more devastating than previously disclosed.
Dozens suffered traumatic brain injuries, burns, and shrapnel wounds. At least one required an amputation. More than 30 remain hospitalized. (CBS News)
Ben Stiller is calling out the White House after it used a clip from Tropic Thunder in a video promoting the Iran war.
“We never gave you permission and have no interest in being part of your propaganda machine. War is not a movie,” Stiller wrote.
Thank you for all you do. Everyday.
Bwa ha ha!!! Hysterical!
So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.
That's roughly $1 billion per day.
$41,666,667 per hour.
$11,574 per second.
People do not want this.
They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.
I get SO angry when they go on & on about how horrible Iran is for targeting infastr/innocent citizens, but isn't that what Russia has been doing to Ukraine for 4 yrs??!! Asking if a girls school was hit is a valid question - nobody is saying it was targeted, but doesn't mean it didn't get hit!

The morally bankrupt Trump administration has partnered with another morally bankrupt authoritarian to declare an unprovoked war on Iran, already killing scores of civilians.
We need an immediate vote from Congress on a War Powers Resolution. Then articles of impeachment.
So, the Trump DOJ failed to release files concerning an Epstein accuser with claims involving Trump... but did manage to accidentally reveal that the files existed?
Americans are fed up with this administration’s mix of incompetence and corruption. Time to come clean.

Trump spent the last 8 months saying that "the nuclear threat of Iran was totally obliterated" by Operation Midnight Hammer which "set back Iran's ability to develop nuclear weapons for many years to come."
Were they lying then or are they lying now?
Among the most important signs of how SCOTUS might rein in a President's claim to emergency powers is:
Chief Justice Roberts with Justices Gorsuch and Barrett on the 'major questions' doctrine.
The three express deep skepticism of claims to open-ended emergency powers:

The candidate for US Senate endorsed by Gov. Brian Kemp didn’t vote for 20 years, including the 2016 & 2020 presidential elections. apnews.com/article/dere...

Ask yourself: why would this administration want to delete references to Medgar Evers’ racist assassin being a racist? Why might that be?
I challenge anyone in this administration or Congress to defend this.
NEWS: Goldman Sachs’ top lawyer Kathryn Ruemmler has RESIGNED after newly released emails exposed a years-long personal relationship with Jeffrey Epstein — including advising him on handling sex crime accusations, media scrutiny, and accusers.
Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

EXACTLY
Zero hours and zero minutes: Fox News didn't air any live coverage of Attorney General Pam Bondi's appearance in front of the House Judiciary Committee.
Rep. Goldman: "Todd Blanche said that any victim who wants to speak with the DOJ has done so…How many of you actually have met with the DOJ? None. How many of you have reached out…to offer to provide testimony or evidence? All of them…How many of you were denied or ignored by the DOJ? All of them.
