Joyce Carol Oates The most sickening part of the video is the last few shots that come when he's already prostrate, apparently dead on the ground. That aspect is so under-discussed: a masked federal agent firing into an already-bullet riddled body for no reason. Didn't see him as a human being.

It should freak the American people out that Trump, Noem and Bovino lie so enthusiastically. He wasn't "brandishing a weapon". He wasn't attending a "riot" or "interfering in a crime scene". He was an ICU nurse exercising his constitutional rights. We saw what we saw.

To call this the most corrupt administration in American history doesn't really do it justice, because no prior president, Republican or Democrat, would have even conceived of a grift on this scale "Four days before Donald Trump's inauguration last year, lieutenants to an Abu

Sen MURPHY goes to the floor RE: this report, says: "For now, Trump and his friends may get away with these crimes and with this corruption, but the rule of law is coming back, and when it does, everyone who has greased their palms off government service, trading government

If the Washington Post is killing local metro coverage, foreign policy, books, and most of the other ancillary coverage, what's left? Stories about outrage in politics?

Interesting, if a diplomatic agreement with Iran should come to Congress for a review and a vote shouldn’t the decision to attack Iran do so as well? Why do you only take your oversight responsibility seriously when there’s the threat of peace instead of war?

If Khamenei is killed or incapacitated, what comes next? Iran's regime has been planning for this for 37 years. Here's my rundown of possible scenarios and how the US & international community should handle the transition, published last week by @cfr: cfr.org/reports/leader…

Trump's attacks on Iran are dangerously illegal and a mistake of staggering scale. Has he learned nothing from decades of U.S. military disaster in the Middle East? Has he spent not one single minute studying the lives lost and trillions wasted in Iraq and Afghanistan and Syria

I think starting a war with Iran is a bad idea, and Trump specifically ran against regime change wars in the middle east. Reasonable people can disagree on the merits, but calling opponents "borderline traitors" is a reprisal of the dumbest Iraq-war era political bullshit.

Here's the relevant section - it comes before the notice provisions. Section 2(c) of the War Powers Resolution (50 U.S.C. § 1541)states: "The constitutional powers of the President as Commander-in-Chief to introduce United States Armed Forces into hostilities, or into

The idea that a deliberative legislative body would debate a war plays right into the hands of the enemy? The speaker of the house is shameful

Here's what I believe: no more business as usual in the Senate. We shouldn't be voting to proceed to normal legislation until Republicans schedule a debate and a vote and on a declaration of war against Iran. Let's see if Trump has the votes to authorize war. I bet he doesn't.

A group of us in the Senate are demanding public hearings on Trump's disastrous war with Iran with Secretary Hegseth and Rubio. And we've introduced a half dozen war powers resolutions to force the Senate to vote every day on the war if the hearings don't happen.

The war with Iran is insanity in its own right. But it is gross incompetence Trump went to war with Iran with no plan to keep open the Strait of Hormuz. Now Iran is laying mines, global oil shipping is paralyzed, gas prices are skyrocketing and food prices are close behind.

Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.

Trump's illegal attack on Iran has set off regional war. The latest - Israel's ground invasion of Lebanon. 800 are already dead. 1/ Tonight, I want to walk you thru a🧵on how devastating this new war could be, and how Trump's blunder set it in motion. theguardian.com/world/2026/mar…

Seriously, though. Look at the butchery being done here to logic and the English language: “Out escalate” to “escalate” to “de-escalate”? Both Tom Schelling and your fifth grade English teacher are spinning in their graves.
