Coons: "Right now, the clearest winner from this war in Iran is Russia. It's stunning that President Trump is on the phone with Vladimir Putin and spending more time consulting with him than he is with Congress and the American people."

This is absolutely maddening.

We “can’t afford” Medicaid, to help children with food insecurities or fund education but we can waste millions on these buffoons and their lavish lifestyles.

$25 mil on Surf and Turf for Kegseth
$200 mil for Kristi Noem’s mile-high-club.

My god. Could these people be more craven?!?

As always, @raskin.house.gov bringing the fire

Abandon all hope in the US.

When DHS Secretary Noem was fired, many hoped things would improve and that the department would move away from incompetence and sheer evil.

That hope was short-lived.

Markwayne Mullin may be even worse.

Civilians have had apparent seizures. One had his eyes roll back. Another had ribs broken.

“I felt like I was going to pass out and die,” said a 16-year-old citizen put in a chokehold.

The government won’t say if any agents have been punished.

Russia is a winner here, but I’d argue China will ultimately come out on top.

They have a predicate for taking Taiwan, and have seen the mightiest military in the world be completely unprepared for multifont conflict because of weak civilian leadership.

The Ashura-loving nation of Iran does not fear your paper threats. Even those greater than you could not eliminate the Iranian nation. Watch out for yourself—lest you be eliminated! Donald J. Trump @realDonald Trump If Iran does anything that stops the flow of Oil within the Strait of Hormuz, they will be hit by the United States of America TWENTY TIMES HARDER than they have been hit thus far. Additionally, we will take out easily destroyable targets that will make it virtually impossible for Iran to ever be built back, as a Nation, again - Death, Fire, and Fury will reign upon them - But I hope, and pray, that it does not happen! This is a gift from the United States of America to China, and all of those Nations that heavily use the Hormuz Strait. Hopefully, it is a gesture that will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP 44 ReTruths 131 Likes 3/9/26,

It seems Donald Trump has met his shit-talking match.

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics. It’s the root of all evil in Washington.

Yup👇

Teen girl, man killed and child hurt in separate shootings, Philly police say Three separate shootings in Philadelphia on Monday left a teen girl and a man dead as well as a child hurt, police say.

Three separate shootings, all within 30 minutes.

A 19-year-old girl and a man were killed, and a 12-year-old girl was injured. In a country with easy access to guns, safety is no longer something families can count on.

We can’t continue like this.

At this point it's a calculation: whatever pay off he's received from whom, plus however he was involved with Epstein, times his religious zeal, minus any concern he has for democracy.

Omg....

I wish I could say I was surprised

NBC’s Richard Engel: “The White House meme campaign is outraging many former US military commanders… they say only someone who has never really seen combat would think it’s a joke and put out material like this.”

I used to think there is no way I would be qualified to serve in the highest echelons of government.

Russia has provided Iran with information that can help Tehran strike US military, AP sources say Russia has provided Iran with information that could help Tehran strike American warships, aircraft and other assets in the region.

Russia has provided Iran with intelligence on U.S. personnel and military targets and Trump responded by easing sanctions on Russia so they can sell all the oil they want and refill their financial coffers. (Maddow)

He is not working for America.

Also known as "using insider knowledge for war profiteering."

That about sums it up👇

Another winner for Blue
