Elizabeth Warren: "I am a hard no on a supplemental. This is not a war the American people want us to engage in. This is not a war that makes us safer ... No. No more money. The only thing Congress has the power to do is to stop actions like this through the power of the purse."

Police in Sweden have seized a false-flagged cargo ship reportedly belonging to Russia’s shadow fleet.

It is suspected of transporting stolen Ukrainian grain.

Bravo, Sweden!

👏

Chris Murphy: "I think it's likely the United States that carried out this attack on this school. I think it's unforgivable under any circumstances, but the fact this was one of our first targeting decisions speaks to the incompetence of our leadership at the Dept of Defense."

Donald Trump refuses to rule out deploying ground troops in Iran US president leaves open the possibility while ruling out having Kurdish forces in Iraq mount an invasion * US-Israel war on Iran – follow live Donald Trump on Saturday left open the possibility of sending US troops into Iran in certain circumstances and suggested they would win a ground war, while at the same time ruling out the possibility of having Kurdish forces in Iraq mount an invasion to take control of Tehran. “I don’t think it’s an appropriate question,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One. “There would have to be a very good reason. I would say if we ever did that they would be so decimated that they wouldn’t be able to fight at the ground level.” Continue reading...
