After Trump wrote, in reference to Iran, “A whole civilization will die tonight,” the entirety of the House Democratic leadership issued this joint statement:
Donald Trump is completely unhinged. His statement threatening to eradicate an entire civilization shocks the conscience and requires a decisive congressional response. The House must come back into session immediately and vote to end this reckless war of choice in the Middle East before Donald Trump plunges our country into World War III.

For years, Republicans have enabled and excused Donald Trump’s deeply dangerous and extreme behavior. Enough is enough. Our brave men and women in uniform have been put into harm’s way in the Middle East. Over a dozen have already been killed and hundreds injured. Gas prices are skyrocketing, the cost of living in America is out of control and billions of taxpayer dollars are being wasted on a reckless war of choice.

It’s time for House Republicans to put patriotic duty over party loyalty and join Democrats in stopping this madness.

Booker: "This isn't just about Mr. Garcia. This is about every American understanding that this president is making an assault on the due process rights that are afforded to people in our country ... you cannot disappear people off American streets."

I’ve had several online conversations with Kendra. Everything she does is for the students in Omaha. She is “the Rill Thing” (quoting Little Richard here). If you can help her, and them, in any way the dividends you receive in feeling like you did a good thing are huge!

Keep talking about the Signal security lapse at the Pentagon. The media may have forgotten about it, but the voters have not.

Of course he exaggerates the trade deficits, as he does the quantities of fentanyl coming in. His trade wars are built on bullshit. His abandonment of Ukraine is built on lies. His decimation of our government is built on fiction. www.cnn.com/2025/03/06/p...

All this business I am reading about social security is nonsense. My mom died on 2/18. My dad got a letter yesterday informing him her benefits were ending and he had to repay the February payment because they don’t give a payment in the month someone dies. They know where every dollar is.

Trump “respects” law enforcement officers so much that he pardoned 1500+ people charged w/ assaulting Capitol police officers on the first day of his second term. Some of them attacked police officers again. Actions > louder than words. He just doesn’t care. #JointAddress

They showed no grace; no magnanimity of spirit; no diplomatic acumen. They were small bullies with big titles and they disrespected the history and legacy of the nation they lead. Today, Donald Trump acted more like Russia's Putin than America's President.

If today’s Oval Office meeting was supposed to make Trump look tough, he is sadly mistaken. Trying to extort and humiliate a democratic ally invaded by Russia is a disgusting display of weakness and fealty to Putin.

Everyone knows what happened here. Trump can only exist around people he can causally humiliate. Guys lie JD and Rubio. He wanted to do a ritual humiliation of Zelensky and Ukraine but Zelensky wouldn’t accept that and so Trump reacted like a stung bitch.
