TAPPER: You know that if you vote against an additional $50 billion of funding for operations in Iran, that vote will be cast as you voting against the troops.
CHRIS MURPHY: Come on. The American people do not want this war. If you support the troops, you should be voting against this war.
Same. Usually followed by running up and down the hallway multiple times
Orange cats 🐈 are always like this 😂
WATCH: “How is the Elon’s tunnel not costing taxpayers money when they’re spending $5 MILLION on a ‘Subterranean Authority’?”
Rep. @jrclemmons.bsky.social tells us claims about the Nashville tunnel from @GovBillLee @SenJohnson @MarshaBlackburn were always “LIES”
Moskowitz: "Let me congratulate the former Homeland Security Secretary on her appointment to be the Shield of Americas, which I'm pretty sure the president came up with when he watched the last Avengers movie"
Is Corey Lewandowski gonna have to start fucking Markwayne Mullin
You made me spit out my coffee 😂😂😂
The Trump Administration is considering asking Congress for new emergency spending for the Iran War.
Hell no. This is our chance to draw a line in the sand and use our power to stop this war before it kills more Americans and sends the Middle East into more chaos.
Exactly. None of this is hard. No one here should be hungry or homeless or without medical care. Anyone who wants an education should get one.
Americans are dead. Prices are skyrocketing. The Middle East is on fire. Civil war is brewing in Iran.
And for what? A war that will leave the same hardliners in charge? A war that can't actually destroy their nuclear program?
This is incompetence. Plain and simple.
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.
It’s gonna get ugly if anyone messes with my iced coffee js 😂
We’re about to take back Texas.

Congress needs to check and balance Donald Trump.
Screenshot of an X post by Acyn quoting a CNN exchange. The text includes Blitzer asking about U.S. military losses if the war drags on, and Mullin responding that it is not a war and that the U.S. has not declared war on Iran. Below is a CNN split-screen showing Wolf Blitzer on the left and Senator Markwayne Mullin on the right, with a “BREAKING NEWS” banner reading: “W: TRUMP SAYS NEW IRANIAN LEADERS ‘WANT TO TALK.’”
This is absurd. If another country hit our top civilian and military leaders and wiped them out, then bombed 1,000 targets and threatened five more weeks of bombings, we'd say it was war. Get real or get out of here with this.
1/7 My Message to Republican Lawmakers
You built this.
Not the voters.
Not the media.
YOU.
You saw the instability. You saw the narcissism. You saw the appetite for chaos. And...instead of containing it, you harnessed it. You fed it. You rode it.
The Epstein class's kids won't die in this war. Poor families' kids will.
Billionaires won't suffer. Middle class families will pay more for everything.
And for what? For a different hardline cleric to run Iran than the one who was about to die soon anyway?
The Pentagon is hanging the White House out to dry.

A Reuters/Ipsos poll finds only 27% of Americans approve of the military attacks. 43% disapprove.
They spent billions on regime change in Venezuela and left the Maduro's head of torture in charge.
They are now spending billions on regime change in Iran, knowing the most likely outcome will be harder line leadership.
We do not have serious people running our country.
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — U.S. military says three service members have been killed and five seriously wounded in the Iran operation.
The spin from MAGA on Iran, just like it was with Venezuela, is that these are “bad guys.” But the issues are much simpler: (1) we have no plan, no congressional authorization, only the feeding of a madman’s lust for chaos and destruction. (1/3)

Illuminating interview. Basically Trump is 100% erratic and incapable of strategic thinking. Makes next steps in Iran utterly opaque, and no confidence that US has prepared the ground for the regime change Trump says (today) is goal of the operation.

Sen. Tammy Duckworth: "If there was ever a time for Republicans to find their spines, it's now, when the Commander in Chief readily admits that he is choosing to put our troops' lives at risk without a legitimate imminent threat to our homeland or our citizens."
Paramount should enjoy its growing news monopoly while they have it because when Democrats win back power we are going to break up these anti-democratic information conglomerates. All of them.
An enraging, enraging case.
After considerable local pushback from Tennesseans and officials of both parties, ICE confirms to us -- (with just one minor typo) -- that they have abandoned plans to build a new Trump prison camp in Lebanon, Tennessee:
