👀🚨🚨“[S]ome GOP lawmakers hearing estimates that the Pentagon is spending as much as $2 billion a day on the war.”
Did you get that?
Trump is spending $2 BILLION A DAY to illegally bomb Iran.
Why would any self-respecting Democrat vote for this?
nothing $150 a barrel oil can't solve

he laid off two of the best Persian speaking reporters in the country. the other reporter Nilo Tabrizy who also does OSINT investigations, etc. as aircraft carriers were already in the Middle East. it wasn't just dumb it seemed extra malicious.
It implies that we are visitors in someone else’s country.
Motwani says she was at Mar-a-Lago and talked to Trump for two hours before Iran strikes.

Following this story's publication, a local reporter found that Rakhi Israni only recently registered as a Democrat from “No Party Preference" in Nov. 2025 and infrequently voted.
Someone else tipped me off to the fact that she was endorsed by the 4th largest donor to MAGA Inc/
Some good news… We’ve been advocating for a working class tax cut like this-getting money into working families people’s pockets. I’m glad that it’s moving with leadership from Sen Van Hollen. Working people need a break- and this is a fantastic way to do it.

Shocked to learn that Laura Loomer donor and #CA14 candidate Rakhi Israni became a Democrat in November.
It’s all part of Israni’s con job on East Bay voters. Through her financial support for far-right, pro-Trump extremists like Laura Loomer, she’s shown us she’s not a Democrat. She’s a fraud.
Horrifying. Jesus Lord in heaven.
Israni has also donated to opponents of Roe v. Wade, election deniers, and a veteran for Trump who wrote a book about whiteness.
She has ties to Hindu nationalist groups and opposed CA’s caste discrimination legislation.
NEW: A Democratic candidate in the primary in Eric Swalwell’s district raised $2M in the first two weeks of her campaign from unknown donors.
Rakhi Israni’s personal political donations have gone to over 10 MAGA and far right candidates including Laura Loomer.

If you're running for Congress in Oakland and you are a Laura Loomer donor, you're going to have a bad time. theintercept.com/2026/03/04/c...
The next Forever War is here.
"The CIA is working to arm Kurdish forces with the aim of fomenting a popular uprising in Iran, multiple people familiar with the plan told CNN."
This is the most deranged logic you’ll ever hear.
It’s also not at all how the law works.

Uh no...we definitely realize it.
literally dismantling our international security umbrella so Israel can make the broader middle east into a parking lot for its settler strip malls. Incredible stuff.
he's a robot
Glenn Greenwald: Every major presidential campaign is based on lies and knowingly false promises, but Trump made opposition to regime-change wars a central part of his political identity for a decade. His voters believed it. He's proven himself one of the most deceitful frauds in US history.👇 The American Conservative: Trump on the campaign trail: "We are finally putting America First. Our policy of war regime change and nation-building is being replaced by the pursuit of American interests… It is the job of our military to protect our security, not to be the policemen of the world."
Even now, Glenn Greenwald can’t bring himself to say “I believed Trump’s lies.” It’s “his voters believed it.” But it wasn’t just “his voters,” Glenn, it was you. You believed the lie. In fact, you promoted it. Incessantly.
You cannot talk like this about any other minority in America.
And if it was any other president’s adviser who said something like this about any other minority, it’d be the instant end of their presidency.
There’s a pretty robust case to make that the Iran Hostage crisis of 1979, the revolution itself, and the policies of the Iranian government towards the US
since, was all blowback from the CIA’s decision to overthrow Mossadegh in 1953. www.cnn.com/2013/08/19/p...
yes. as an Iranian-american the lead up to the Iraq war was much worse, the demonization, the wmd, the whiskey sexy freedom and then the bomb them all attitude. this is just so much stupider for all of us, baby shah is acting like Temu Chalabi. He should have gotten the noble stuff. all of it.

Illegal war on Iran does not seem super popular.
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."
As we learn about the first deaths of US servicemembers, it’s worth remembering that not only did Trump not get the constitutionally required authorization for his war of choice, he didn’t even bother to address the nation. He made a brief video on his personal social media company at 3am.
Rep. Ansari Statement on United States Attack on Iran.
This is some next-level swiftboating
I talked to @ichotiner.bsky.social about Trump’s reckless and illegal war, the Democratic leadership’s lame response, and how fixing our foreign policy will require fixing our broken politics. www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a...
