Tarrio is, quite literally, a pardoned terrorist.
Authoritarians will stop at nothing to feel safe. Since they have no concept of public welfare and consider everyone an asset to be used and discarded, they will easily enter into a military conflict without a long-term strategy, regardless of the casualties it causes.

It’s not just that the Administration isn’t answering questions about Iran.
They’re lying.
Will there be anything more stupid than Donald Trump wanting credit for stopping wars he started?

Trump ripped up the Iran nuclear deal and created this mess. Now, he's putting servicemembers in harm's way with no clear plan and no Congressional approval. The American people deserve answers — and Congress needs to do its job.

Gov. Abigail Spanberger: "Our president has sent poorly trained federal agents into our cities where they have arrested and detained American citizens…They have ripped nursing mothers away from our babies, they have sent children — a little boy in a blue bunny hat — to far off detention centers"
Spanberger: "Trump continues to cede economic power and technological strength to Russia, bow down to China, bow down to a Russian dictator, and make plans for a war with Iran…Is the president working to keep Americans safe both at home and abroad? We all know the answer is no."
Trump has now signed contracts to develop 23 properties and resorts overseas, almost exclusively with foreign investors.
The State of the Union is in less than 2 weeks.
The president will claim he’s lowered costs—but many of his policies have done the opposite.
As we approach #SOTU, we’ll be comparing this administration’s rhetoric against the reforms our economy actually needs for citizens to have a #GoodLife. 🧵
There’s a huge gap between the populist rhetoric and the oligarchic reality. @rooseveltinstitute.org did a split screen on the world this admin is creating vs the one we could have if we used public power for good. What would the SOTU be like if policy were aimed at creating a #GoodLife for people?
