Read between the lines: they won’t raise taxes on the RICH to fund the war.

So to recap: Trump issues a threat. The Iranians issue their own. He backs down, but lies. The Iranians say, hoo boy, that man's a liar. Then they *explain why he’s lying*, turning themselves into honest brokers and proving to the world, especially to American allies, that the president is weak.

ACA support gets cut, premiums go up, and we’re still being asked to fund a war Trump said was over. #HealthcareNotWarfare

Eric Swalwell — “I don't say this lightly: when we escape this trump hell there needs to be a Presidential Crimes Commission. It should be made up of independent prosecutors who look at those who enabled a corrupt president."

​​We gave Amazon a $17.5 BILLION tax break last year. Meta got $13.7 BILLION. Citigroup didn't pay a penny—we gave them a tax REFUND. Those tax breaks didn't do anything to create jobs, let alone save them. We have got to stop with the corporate tax giveaways.

"The belief that Israel and the US could help instigate revolt was a foundational flaw in preparations. Instead of imploding, Iran’s govt has dug in and escalated, striking blows against military bases, cities, ships in the Persian Gulf, and against vulnerable oil and gas installations." (gift link)

The US military has bombed civilians in previous times of war, but those acts might be forgiven when seen in the context of self-defense. Iran did us no harm. As the AP said, it’s “Donald Trump’s war.” He chose to kill those schoolgirls. And then lie about it.
