Republicans want you to forget they’re ripping health care away from over 16 million people while Trump wages a new endless war against Iran. That’s Republican leadership for you.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

Here is the dirty secret no one is speaking out loud: Trump does not believe that bombing the hell out of Iran is going to send Iran back to the negotiation table, nor has anyone in his inner circle suggested to him that outcome. He fully knows he has entered America into a war.

AOC: “It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”
The President's disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers.
He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations.
It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.

We have a madman in the White House who is actively trying to trigger total war. If Jeffries, Schumer, or any other Democratic leaders try to justify this, shrug indifferently, or write a strongly-worded letter and call it a day, they need to step down or be aggressively primaried.

In a scathing dissent, Justice Jackson says the Supreme Court gives the impression it favors 'moneyed interests'
In an environmental case, the liberal justice questioned whether the high court treats business interests differently from "less powerful litigants."

Social Security is dipping into its trust fund to pay current retirees, with spending outpacing its revenue from payroll taxes.

We still have no idea who the ICE agents are. They could be insurrectionists, extremist militiamen or criminals themselves, chasing law-abiding citizens down the street for recording their kidnappings. The odds they aren't are low. Congress must raise hell about this. A masked gang runs our country.
