The JCPOA was completed by Obama, but the negotiations began under Clinton. It wasn’t a deal between the US & Iran. It was 10 years of negotiation between the world & Iran. And it was WORKING, without causing economic chaos & global instability. TACO ripped it up for two reasons: 1) his hatred

an illegal war started under false pretenses…thousands killed, causing worldwide geopolitical & economic chaos while billionaires got richer This should be THE headline across all media platforms… “Trumps Endgame is Surrender”

Trump’s endgame in Iran has become clear—as has his desire to slip away without Americans noticing the magnitude of this defeat, Robert Kagan argued earlier this week.

I sat down with violence interrupters and young men directly impacted by gun violence to talk about what this administration is doing to keep New Yorkers safe.

@facethenation.bsky.social @Chevron CEO Mike Wirth w Margaret Brennan breaks down the impact of the Iran War & Strait blockade correctly making parallels to 70s oil embargo & can’t say gas prices have peaked. Maybe Wirth can convince shareholders to forgo profits to reduce gas prices @ the pump.

Three million Virginia voters deserve not only a new map but to have their votes counted. The map is an important outcome, but the counted vote is something more fundamental. It is core to democracy itself — regardless of the policy or candidate. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/in-v...

democracydocket.comIn Virginia, Republicans attack the map and the right to voteDespite the will of the voters, Republicans have turned to the courts to overturn the election and discard the results.

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.

See, it's easy to denounce this straight up instead of politely asking the administration to pretty please give the American people an explanation when they have a sec

Governor JB Pritzker@govpritzker.illinois.gov

No justification, no authorization from Congress, and no clear objective. But none of that matters to Donald Trump — and apparently neither do the safety and lives of American service members.

We are going to war with Iran to shore up Bibi politically inside of Israel. That’s it. Israel bought our politicians and now pushes us into “wag the dog” war for their benefit, NOT ours. You won’t be changing my opinion about that. Israel is a destructive parasite in our politics.

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump. Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

Pete Hegseth is a f*cking liar. This is so clearly classified info he recklessly leaked that could’ve gotten our pilots killed. He needs to resign in disgrace immediately.

Eric we will need to join the call for a national strike. This administration must step down. 90 million eligible voters (*the largest voting block) did not vote for either candidate. 75 million voted for Harris. That's a vast majority who did not vote for dismantling the U.S. federal government.

This Trump proclamation was demonstrably false when he shrieked it but was a good prognosis of what he managed to do in just the first seven weeks of his insane second term as president:

On Saturday March 15, Americans should march on Washington to demand that the takeover of the federal government by unelected billionaires should end immediately. 20 days from today the American People have a chance to collectively inform our government that we the people are the ones in power.

One of the things that fascinates me about our politics is how little our elected officials understand the people they represent. They troll for votes wherever they can get them, without truly understanding what their words and deeds to the trust put into them by their base. We have been betrayed
