I know most people reading this are US citizens. If not you need to know this. Whatever happens tonight with Iran, he's not stopping there. It will be on to the next country. Every minute he goes unchecked he becomes harder to stop. Don't ever believe or trust anything we say. This who we are now.

The Vice President is abroad campaigning for a dictator. The President is threatening to wipe out an entire civilization. Congress is on recess. This is a total collapse of American moral leadership — at a historic scale.

My elderly, disabled cat is sick. And it's stressful, and expensive, and time-consuming to take care of him. But I pick him up and he purrs. I offer him food and he screams excitedly. I go to the kitchen and he's waiting for me. I love him and I'll keep him safe as long as his good days are good.

Y’all, I’m seriously having a hard time seeing the world’s good bones right now. Can we not finally trash this man?

Speaker Johnson, we are calling on you to bring the House back to DC IMMEDIATELY! The Cabinet needs to invoke the 25th Amendment. But Congress can’t just sit on its hands and wait for that to happen when the President is threatening to commit war crimes TONIGHT.

We have a president who took the nation into a war for reasons he never articulated, without a strategy for how to respond if Iran did the expected and closed the Strait of Hormuz, and without an exit strategy if Iran doesn’t surrender. Trump is cornered, and he’s going stark-raving mad.

America is now on the clock. We have two weeks to remove Donald Trump from office through the 25th Amendment or impeachment. Not saying that will happen, only saying that a nation with even a shred of decency would get to work on it immediately.

The same geniuses who think Trump, who dodged the draft five times, knows how to win a war also think Trump, who declared bankruptcy six times, knows how to run the economy. That's what Trump Derangement Syndrome actually looks like.

Earlier I called Schumer and insisted Democrats invoke the 25th amendment. I was asked, by computer, if I wanted to speak to a staff member, I said OK. Never got a human.. Left a message. If the reason was millions of others were trying to speak to Schumer ,ok. But I doubt that.

Regardless of whether it’s all talk, when the leader of our country expresses plainly genocidal intent, everyone has to do something. For citizens of all political stripes, it means rejecting this madness. For Congress, it means taking action to rein him in. Now.

At pre-election rallies in #Hungary, the crowd began chanting: #Russians — go home! The historic slogan "Ruszkik haza" emerged during the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 and was directed against the #Soviet occupation 👍

CO AG Weiser: The president, in a Truth Social post, said, “This merger between Nexstar and Tegna should be approved, period.” The DOJ ignored its established standards. They didn’t explain why—they just waved this right through. We’re going to be before a judge asking for a preliminary injunction

Kim: Three weeks of the war in Iran could have funded vision, hearing, and dental coverage for every senior in America on Medicare. I mean, it just gives you a sense of the trade-off.

Amen. They should've been released over a year ago. But, we have pedophile protectors in the White House.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress beforehand, or our allies, or coherently explain to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop this.

At what point is it time to use the 25th amendment? I believe it is way, way past time. Republicans-just pretend he's a Democrat and do what you know to be the right thing !!

The world is going to find out what happens when Two Insane Terrorists Groups try to show who is more Insane. If only we had a way of dealing with Insane Terrorists. It really seems Insane that America continues to leave a Terrorist in America's White House
