Chris Murphy: "Donald Trump was so fundamentally unprepared for this war that within days of the war starting, our billion dollar air bases and naval bases in the region were obliterated by the Iranians. Every single American should be furious about that."

Katie Phang: "[Todd Blanche] says the Privacy Act has to be read in conjunction with the Epstein Files Transparency Act and that it's totally proper for him to hide and obfuscate and protect the identities of enablers, rapists, traffickers of children. He thinks that's fine."

El-Sayed on Fox: "There is this argument you try to make often is that the best way to take this problem on is more war. How has that worked out for us? The war in Iraq which this channel spent years and years pressing -- has that made us safer? Are we more safe because of the war in Iran?"

⭕️ House Foreign Affairs Committee Ranking Member Gregory Meeks says he will not clear the Trump administration's proposed $2.8 billion sale of 40,000 2,000-pound bombs to Israel.

"The Trump administration has not provided sufficient assurances that these weapons will be used by the Netanyahu government in accordance with U.S. law and with appropriate protections for civilians. I therefore will not clear this sale at this time," Meeks said, citing unresolved concerns about how the munitions, among the most destructive in the U.S. arsenal, could be used in densely populated areas of Gaza and Lebanon.House Foreign Affairs Committee Dems

In case anyone has forgotten, the Crusades (1095-1291) was 200 years of Religious Extremists (European "Christians") attempting to wipe out every man, woman & child of another religion (Muslim) and to steal their land. Is that REALLY the image any civilized human being would want to identify with ⁉️

The bottom line is Trump sacrificed 8 American lives (& counting) and more than 1,000 Iranian lives (& counting) for nothing. He hurt the US & global economies, destabilized the Middle East, & will pull out with the same Iranian regime in power. There's no silver lining. A senseless, criminal waste

Warren: "It is still the case that the Trump admin cannot explain the reasons we entered this war, the goals we're trying to accomplish. The only part that seems clear is that while there is no money for 15m Americans who lost their healthcare, there's a billion a day to spent on bombing Iran."
