We are spending an estimated $1B per day on the war on Iran. Now Trump and Co want an extra $200B from Congress to fund the war. But healthcare? Cut. Food stamps? Cut. Education? Cut. Cancer research? Cut. Environmental protections? Cut. And of course, taxes on the rich? Cut. It's obscene.

First Amendment violation, Brendan. I wonder if a class-action lawsuit (with 320 million of us being the injured class) might change your mind. Do this and ALL of us will see you in court.
Brendan Carr, FCC chair, threatens broadcaster licenses. This is a violation of the First Amendment.

Can you really call yourself an "independent journalist" when most of what you do is post comments by the worst of the worst, mostly lauding the president, with no pushback or context. @atrupar.com looks like he's running interference for maga instead of practicing journalism.

Remember how the only thing they were thwarted in on 9/11 was in hitting the Pentagon? Trump didn't destroy the Iranian regime this weekend; he re-energized their hatred and their mission. He's put us all in the crosshairs again. All in an effort to protect himself. It will backfire.

Does Trump understand that killing the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is not the end, but only the beginning? Rather than dousing a fire, Trump has lit a fuse and now the entire world waits for what's next. It was intentional, and we can only hope the response is surgical.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Trump and his ICE goon squad are terrorizing the public and that's the exact intent - dissension repression. Tim Waltz is appealing to Trump's humanity to stop it. It will get worse until ICE is more afraid to be in the streets than we are. It's as simple as that.

Isn't it ironic that under President Trump - the bigoted white man's president - we now have masked brown men shooting armed white men in the streets basically because they looked at them wrong? But the racists never saw that coming. But here we are.
