The killing of Iranian children during an illegal war is an impeachable offense (not to mention a grave crime) and Congress should really act like it.
15 Republicans in the Senate could end this nightmare before it somehow gets even worse.
And Trump got very mad at Steve Doocy for asking about this.
1 week
Ok maybe 3 weeks
Wait, 5ish weeks seems right
Probably until September
INDEFINITELY!
The fuck kind of answer is this
Just a thought, maybe SecDef shouldn’t jerk himself off on live television at the thought of casualties in war.
War isn’t something to be giddy about. Were the most powerful nation on the planet. We’re supposed to be the quiet professionals, not carnival barking morons.
Social media post: Image of Sen. Tom Cotton in FOX news interview. Tom Cotton @SenTomCotton Iran has been an imminent threat to the United States for 47 years. The president was right to act.
But wait. If the 47 years thing is the rationale, then why didn't he attack them in his first term?
You guys have to get your stories straight. There's a new one every hour on the hour.

He’s not wrong
Saw earlier today a post with a photo of people holding an overpass protest, with huge signs that read:
THE EPSTEIN FILES ARE NOT IN IRAN
Kateryna Lisunova @KaterynaLis 🚨“Cannon fire on sparrows” — that’s how my sources in the Ukrainian government described the current warfare in the Middle East. Basically, this is what Zelenskyy has been saying over the past few days (not counting the last four years): you cannot intercept Shahed drones with missiles. First, it’s too expensive; second, missile stock is limited; and third, they don’t always work against Shaheds. BREAKING: Trump administration officials acknowledged during a closed-door briefing on Tuesday that Iran’s Shahed attack drones represent a major challenge, and U.S. air defenses will not be able to intercept them all. The drones are posing a bigger problem than anticipated, according to sources from the briefing.
🤔👀
Raskin: “Based on what you know today, were Renée Good and Alex Pretti domestic terrorists?”
Noem: “There's ongoing investigations…I would think you would want there to still be investigations going into these situations.”
Raskin: “You stated [your] conclusion 2 hours after they were killed."
Rep. Lofgren to Noem: You know there's an old adage that states there are no bad dogs, just bad owners. One of the questions we have is, are there bad agencies or just bad leadership?
New reporting reveals House Republicans are privately concerned about Trump's war with Iran:
“Sounds a little bit like President Lyndon Johnson going into Vietnam, doesn’t it?”
In Oversight hearing on MN, @congressmin.bsky.social says he's going to introduce a Recoup Act, to pay back money that local police have to expend because of ICE goon behavior.
Cruelty and malice beyond measure.
CNN put together a montage of the regime's incoherent talking points about Trump's war on Iran
JD Vance in 2024: "Our interest very much is in not going to war with Iran. It would be a huge distraction of resources. It would be massively expensive to our country"
From a strategic standpoint, Trump has no idea what he's trying to do, why he's doing it, let alone how.
He's just pathetic.
Lots of tails wagging lots of dogs this week. Trump clearly wants you to forget there are documents about him missing from the Epstein files. But I devote most of this piece to a quiet phenomenon: federal judges, declaring war on ICE open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
Democrats denouncing this gratuitous, distractive war with Iran are not "siding with Iran;" they are siding with sanity and the Constitution.
Your reminder that Trump withdrew U.S. from the Iran nuclear deal in 2018 because - Obama.
Sen. Tim Kaine yesterday: “Is he too mentally incapacitated to realize that we had a diplomatic agreement with Iran that was keeping its nuclear program in check, until he ripped it up during his first term?”
🤔🤔

"One thing that I worry about is that when you play the Trump game, you start to be a little bit complicit in the narrative that...these guys are outsiders, and the real issue is the corrupt establishment people."
Tim Miller and Amanda Carpenter on the danger of playing Trump's game.
Trump’s address was the longest State of the Union EVER so we boiled it down to 60 seconds!
People acting like CBS in 2026 bending a knee to Trump is new forget that CBS in the ‘60s canceled “The Smothers Brothers” because Nixon didn’t like their criticism of the Vietnam War.
"A two-month old baby, Juan Nicolás, had recently been detained with his mother. While in detention, Juan developed a persistent cough that grew worse on Valentine’s Day." The American people do not, in fact, endorse this.
Being the only successful and civilized country where people are routinely bankrupted when they get sick is a choice. A bad one.
