Having a hard time conceptualizing how a country that can’t dig out its capital after a snow storm is going to achieve a satisfactory regime change in a country of 90 million people.

BREAKING: In a display of peak hypocrisy, Trump declares "One death is too much" for protesters in Iran, while dismissing the death of U.S. citizen Renee Good at the hands of ICE.

That's America last, folks.

Hawley says I’ll probably vote for it when asked if he’d vote in favor of the tax bill

Till this day, there is no evidence of the beheaded Israeli babies Biden spoke of. But there are plenty of Palestinian babies with no heads and limbs, ripped apart by Israel's American bombs.

Biden never speaks of these babies. To him, they don't matter. This was today in Rafah

We are now closer to a regional war than ever before.

All of this could have been prevented had Biden forced a ceasefire in Gaza months ago.

He was far too accepting of the evaluation risk, and here we are...

BIDEN IN NEW YORK — he says there could be a cease fire in Israel by the weekend, per White House pool.

Every second that #Iran continues to suffer under U.S. sanctions is time Iran loses in effectively combatting #coronavirus--meaning the death toll & # infected will rise.

Join TODAY's tweetstorm at 1pm EST, tag your reps & @stevenmnuchin1, and demand they #EndCOVIDSanctions NOW!

I’m at federal court in #Boston where lawyers are asking for more info about Shahab Dehghani Hossein Abadi’s removal from the U.S. last night.

@CBP denied him entry despite his student visa and removed him despite a federal order from a judge in Boston.

Call for protests: yet another Iranian student with a valid F1 visa is getting deported tonight, Martin Luther King Day, from Boston Logan airport, terminal E. at 6:30 pm. Come fight for basic human decency for fair treatment for all #immigrants. @joekennedy @ACLU_Mass @segalmr

[ACLU Massachusetts @ACLU_Mass]

⁦@SusanBChurch11⁩ announces that an emergency Habeas Corpus petition has officially been filed to prevent deportation of Shahab.

[NIAC @NIACouncil]

The slanderous accusations against NIAC from Sens. Cotton, Cruz & Braun have zero merit. But they are indicative of a campaign to intimidate pro-peace #Iranian Americans from halting the admin’s push toward war, which Cotton & Cruz have long championed.

US CENTCOM: 15 missiles; 4 failed; 1 hit Erbil Airport; 10 hit al-Asad base.

Pentagon: No American casualties.

Iraq gov't: No Iraqi casualties

Current lull is an opportunity for de-escalation

[John Bolton @AmbJohnBolton]

I offered to resign last night and President Trump said, "Let's talk about it tomorrow."

Probably one of the few times I will retweet Trump! Finally a sensible move from this guy. #byebye #Bolton

[Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump]

I informed John Bolton last night that his services are no longer needed at the White House. I disagreed strongly with many of his suggestions, as did others in the Administration, and therefore....
