Our troops are dying this isn’t a video game. The White House is posting so-called “hype” videos that mix real footage from the war in Iran with clips from movies and video games like Call of Duty. It’s an absolute disgrace.

Israel reports that Iran is using cluster bombs in the attacks. Authorities in Tel Aviv are outraged by this barbarism and remind that the only territory where such missiles can be used is Gaza and Ukraine.

Watching how Ratpublicans voted down a measure to limit Trump’s power to continue waging war against Iran is a telling example of countries, peoples and societies blindly march into their own destruction. Party loyalty instead of rational thinking is terrible and stupid.

Kelly: "You could pick a random group of people off the street tonight here in DC and they could probably do a better job than our government is doing right now. They don't have a goal, there's no strategic plan. And what this is likely to lead to is, again, a long war with a lot of dead Americans."

AOC: He impulsively went in on Venezuela. He impulsively went in on Iran. It led to increased global instability and every time he’s done that, it has been consistent with a spike in what is happening with the Epstein files. I think that he feels existentially tied to it.

Hegseth: Media focus on troop deaths is to make Trump “look bad”. No dude, Americans dying in a war we didn’t want is bad. Really bad.

McGovern: How the hell is this America first? You guys broke your top campaign promise. Good luck with that. I hope the defense contractor money was worth it. Shame on you all. The mask is off. You're all just a bunch of pathetic Neocon Warmongers.

Himes: "Already you see the White House in an absolute panic over gas prices, coming up with wild ideas ... they understand that this terrible decision they have taken is going to end this presidency. We're gonna have a lame duck president for 3 years with 20 to 30% approval."

The video of a United States Senator joining the violent removal of U.S. marine from a hearing and hideously breaking his arm in a door is an example of what has been unleashed in this country. They’re tapping in to get in on the violence. And then he bragged about it on X later.

get a load of Kristi Noem's facial expressions as Rep. Kamlager-Dove enters articles in the congressional record with headlines like, "Lewandowski taking out trash at Noem's DC home" and "ICE Barbie's mile high private chamber with alleged lover exposed"

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else. We mustn’t let this war do so.

Kaine on Fox: "The president can act to defend US against imminent attack without congressional approval. But if you're going to initiate war, you need Congress. The president not only did not come to Congress, he acted without even notification to the vast majority of us. This is an illegal war."

Mark Warner: "I saw no intelligence that Iran was on the verge of launching any kind of preemptive strike against the United States. None."

What a surprise, who would have seen this coming? The FELON started a war to distract from the Epstein files and his dismal poll numbers.

Ten countries have launched investigations related to the released Epstein files. Norway, UK, France, Lithuania, Latvia, Sweden, Australia, North Macedinia, Turkey, Poland. Conspicuously absent is the United States, the epicenter of this scandal. We know why. …

NEW: A federal judge in Oregon issued a sweeping rebuke of the Justice Department’s nationwide push to seize state voter rolls, ruling that the department can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith and warning that its conduct threatens voters and states’ rights.

An extraordinary document. Read it. “Attached to this order is an appendix that identifies 96 court orders that ICE has violated in 74 cases. … ICE has likely violated more court orders in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence.”

Just wrapped up a great meeting with @spainintheusa.bsky.social Ambassador Ángeles Moreno Bau on increasing California's work with Spain. Whether it's our reliable economic partnerships or our unbreakable climate leadership, the world can always count on the Golden State as a trusted ally.
