Trump is threatening the Iranian people with genocide on social media. He’s also asking for $1.5 trillion for the Pentagon. Congress must be clear and deliberate: pass a War Powers Resolution, oppose supplemental war funding, and explore options to keep this madman from getting us all killed.

Donald Trump is deranged. He must be impeached and removed from office. Republicans who don’t stop him will have blood on their hands, and anyone who carries out an order to bomb civilian targets will be complicit in war crimes and will be held accountable.

The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it. This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.

Trump's budget request shows an 866% increase in costs for White House repairs and renovations, going from $39 million to $377 million. That apparently includes the private donations to Trump's White House ballroom, which raise corruption concerns.

Michelle Wolf at the 2018 White House Correspondents' Association dinner: "What no one in this room wants to admit is Trump helped all of you. He couldn't sell steaks, vodka, water, college, ties, or Eric. [But] he has helped you sell your papers, books, and TV. You created this monster, and now you're profiting off of him."

Again, I don’t see how you can read this as anything other than Trump trying to normalize the idea of using nuclear weapons
Spoke with President Trump. He told me the conflict should be over in days, not weeks but if no deal is made he’s blowing up the whole country with “very little” off the table. 

"If happens, it happens. And if it doesn't, we're blowing up the whole country,” he said.

I asked if there’s anything off limits.

“Very little,” he said.

The war is likely to be in the trillions in global effects if it doesn’t end very soon. The direct cost is a tiny part of it. Fertilizer, diesel —> food —> defense buildup —> deficits —> higher interest/mortgage rates —> inflation + slower growth.

Good afternoon. Speaker Johnson was sent a bill to fund TSA, the Coast Guard and FEMA that passed the Senate 100-0. If he had simply called it for a vote it would passed easily. But he chose chaos. Because that’s what Trump wants. Only Johnson can clean up this mess.

Objectively, the plain evidence shows they are not close to "decimated": - they still have loads of missiles and drones and take out U.S. and allied targets every day. - they control the Strait for the first time - they still have a nuclear program - the regime is intact

An economist friend passes along this graph of energy costs. He says, "Given this history, it is more than a little ironic that renewable energy is derided by fossil-fuel proponents as 'unreliable.'”
Chart of relative energy costs since 2010 shows a steady decline in wind and solar vs wild oscillations in the price of oil due to geopolitical events like the current war in Iran.
