This week’s Iran war powers vote in Congress was not simply political gamesmanship, despite falling largely along partisan lines.
The White House must present a clear strategy for ongoing military operations in Iran.
Read the full article on Substack:
“We will see more outbreaks. We will see children missing school, parents missing work… Some of them will die.”
States battling outbreaks should be strengthening protections against measles, not enabling RFK Jr.’s anti-vaccine agenda.
A January 6 rioter pardoned by Trump was just sentenced to life in prison for repeatedly sexually abusing middle schoolers.
This is horrific, and it happened because Donald Trump released him from prison.
Democrats overwhelmingly supported the war powers resolutions in the House and Senate because the White House lacks a clear strategy on Iran. Republicans acquiesced to Trump.
We can stand with our allies without launching a war with no clear objectives.
The Trump economy: jobs cut across every sector and a rising unemployment rate.
Trump is breaking promises and failing American families.
Good riddance.
This is the impact of public pressure, including more than 10,000 letters from JDCA volunteers demanding Noem’s impeachment.
But the Trump admin's cruelty won't end because there’s a new boss at DHS. Our work toward accountability and change must continue.
Even federal judges in the reddest states are calling out ICE for going too far.
Four judges in deep-red West Virginia who have been inundated by ICE lawsuits are using their rulings to grab Americans by the shoulders and warn against a descent into authoritarianism:
“Trump has shown at every instance that freedom for the people of Iran is not his priority. Every few hours, the administration jumps to a new justification or objective for this war, but never is a democratic transition and self-determination for Iranians a part of the discussion.”
Another racist and antisemitic Republican group chat...
This time, Republicans from Miami used slurs hundreds of times. One member even described the chat as “Nazi heaven.”
We’re discouraged but not surprised. This is what happens when the White House emboldens & embraces the extreme far right.
Our hope for a democratic future for the Iranian people does not eliminate the need for President Trump to seek and receive the authorization of Congress for continued military operations.
Urge your representatives to back the War Powers Resolution:
ICE standards say detainees must be allowed to practice their faith. Yet priests had to sue just to administer ashes on Ash Wednesday, and Muslim detainees lack chaplains during Ramadan.
This is not how a country that prides itself on religious liberty should operate.
Military commanders are reportedly invoking Christian nationalist rhetoric about biblical “end times" to justify the decision to strike Iran.
This admin seems to have a different rationale for this war every day, but a Christian nationalist agenda is incredibly dangerous.
“She pulled over but didn’t go to the hospital; she couldn’t afford it.”
Now, with ACA subsidies slashed by Republicans and premiums rising by hundreds per month, Americans face the same choice. Trump’s plan offers few answers for those without coverage.
Across more than 90 races since 2024, Democrats have overperformed by an average of 13 points.
Arkansas is the latest example – the ninth time Democrats flipped a district in a special election since the start of Trump’s second term. Momentum matters going into the midterms.
Mazel Tov to @roycoopernc.bsky.social for being elected as the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in North Carolina.
We are proud to stand with him to bring Democrats one step closer to taking back the Senate. Onward to November!
Trump must abide by the law and present a clear strategy on Iran.
Join us in urging every member of the Senate and House to reassert their constitutionally mandated authority over the use of U.S. military force and support the War Powers Resolution:
As Jewish Americans, we’re deeply concerned about the consequences of the White House effectively blaming Israel for its decision to launch a war against Iran.
Our statement:
We mourn the lives of four U.S. service members and twelve Israelis tragically lost in the past two days, and we are praying for those injured.
We are deeply concerned about President Trump’s shifting objectives and lack of strategy on Iran.
The Iranian regime has oppressed and killed its own people and is responsible for the murders of Americans, Israelis, and Jews around the world.
But as we’ve learned from history, launching a conflict in the Middle East is far easier than ending one.
Our statement:
There are three key things you may have missed in Trump’s State of the Union amid the lies.

6,000 Syrians legally built their lives in the U.S. under Temporary Protected Status. Trump wants them deported anyway.
The immigration crackdown is threatening to send thousands back into instability. Cruelty should not be policy.
No new solutions. No serious policy proposals. Just political theater and the exploitation of American heroism that was completely unrelated to Trump.
We deserve more.
We know where this is going.
Trump and RFK Jr’s nominee for Surgeon General is conveniently avoiding telling us her thoughts on vaccines before her confirmation hearing.
I think we all know why.
The SAVE Act would upend our voting system in ways that will hit working families, rural communities, and married women the hardest.
Democracy should be accessible to everyone.

Thank you, @charlotteclymer.bsky.social, for your moral clarity.

Nick Shirley is a conservative agitator who has been praised by Vance and other GOP leaders and attended Trump's SOTU.
He's now openly supporting antisemitic conspiracy theories and content online and calling to "expose" Jewish Americans.
These are the people influencing leaders of the GOP.
Watch this video.
CBS needs to explain why it is platforming someone who made such overtly antisemitic statements.
We’re grateful @elizaorlins.bsky.social was brave enough to talk about the antisemitism she is facing.
A disgusting display of antisemitism, invoking an age-old trope about Jews and money.
We condemn this antisemitism and those who perpetrated it, and we are grateful to the countless Democratic leaders who have spoken out against it.
Documents from the Epstein files directly contradict Pam Bondi’s claim that there is no evidence that Trump committed a crime.
Congress has a duty to act. @reptedlieu.bsky.social and @repdangoldman.bsky.social are right to call for accountability. Bondi cannot bend the law to protect Trump.
