In the best case scenario, Trump struck a deal to reopen a Strait that was open before the pointless war he started, with the IRGC demonstrating its control over the Strait and potentially extracting fees plus sanctions relief. Thousands of innocents - including hundreds of children - dead in Lebanon and Iran for no reason. U.S. troops killed and wounded. U.S. embassies and bases in the Middle East badly damaged. U.S. standing in the world obliterated. U.S. munitions badly depleted. Hundreds of billions spent. Prices up everywhere. More global economic fallout to come. Putin strengthened and enriched. Just a catastrophic situation even in the best of circumstances. A profoundly shameful episode in American history no matter what happens next.

Maybe literally one fucking American newspaper could mention this in their, “think pieces,” about what happened yesterday.
This whole Canada, Greenland, Panama Canal thing proves once again that Trumpism/MAGA is just a cult. Supposedly MAGA wanted to extract America from the rest of the world, but now MAGA is cheering his imperialism?
MAGA doesn’t have a core philosophy. MAGA just believes in him.
When Congresspeople tell you they can trim trillions out of the budget simply by cutting waste, fraud and abuse -- without making any hard decisions about Social Security, Medicare and defense -- they are telling you they don't take this issue seriously.
"We are not a vessel for the schemes of wannabe dictators. The United States of America is the greatest idea humanity ever devised." -- That was a really strong speech from Kamala Harris. Here's how she brought it home.
A massive relief effort for our western counties is underway.
Water, electricity, food, medicine, gas, cell service, search & rescue - all are priorities.
Here’s the latest:
The pitch was pretty simple.

They hate America as it is and would be happy to tear it apart to make Donald Trumps life better
So @JaredEMoskowitz made such a ballsy mockery of the House GOP’s Biden impeachment inquiry that he got @Jim_Jordan to laugh at the brinksmanship when the Democrat made a motion to impeach POTUS but couldn’t get a Republican second
