Dogs are love and we don’t deserve them.

By signaling to Iran that we won’t strike them until after the midterms while simultaneously increasing sanctions on them, we’re essentially begging them to hit us so we have a justification for returning to the unpopular war.

The purpose of a system is what it does.

Pull our troops & ships from the region and focus on economic pressure.

Stop gambling with American lives— escape the escalation trap.

@RealtorStarShar Bad he cheated, but that’s next level cold.

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

Trump’s getting roasted today for his disastrous beef policy, the debt hit $40 trillion because of his “big beautiful bill,” he stepped-in-it in Iran, and he’s weeks away from failing his mid-terms in November.

He posted this because we are the three he should have listened to:

[Keith McHenry @keith_mchenry]

His bio used to say he spent 14 hours in jail with speaking with someone after being kettled during a Rodney King anti-police brutality march and the conversation inspired him to become a civil rights lawyer. That someone was me. I guess he needed more than 14 hours.

@McFaul Both sides are seeking maximum damage and civilian cost. Better to find an end to the war.

@CAIRNational @VanJones68 This is a weak statement.

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

What a slap in the face to American cattlemen & consumers. Worse than socialism! Dumping foreign beef in U.S. markets can temporarily lower prices but it won’t incentivize American farmers to raise more beef. Bring back Country Of Origin Labels & pass my PRIME Act.

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

Whenever most American elected officials are forced to choose between American citizens and the Israelis who murder them, they side with Israel.

This tends to be a very common instinct among those who have been comically branding themsleves "America First" for the last decade.

In July of 2025, Sayfollah Musallet, an American citizen born and raised in Florida, was beaten to death by Israeli settlers.

No one has been punished for this crime and Sayfollah’s father wants to know why. Despite requests for a meeting, @SenRickScott of Florida refuses to sit down with the family.

@SenRickScott, we’d like to invite you to the show to explain why you won’t investigate the murder of a Floridian at the hands of Israeli settlers. You’re welcome any time.

“That child had a genetic issue. It was not being starved by Israel.”

— @VanJones68 with perhaps his most disgusting remark yet.

The baby had a genetic issue AND was being starved by Israel AND the starvation exacerbated the condition. Absolutely sickening from somebody who used to know better.

This image was sent to me from the field. These are messages US servicemen in the Persian Gulf have scribbled on the dust of an aircraft flap.

"Be a good guy and do what Israel tells you to"

"Operation Epstein Fury"

"Peace deal #64 incoming... ALL THIS FOR THE HOLY LAND"

I have no frame of reference, I can't compare it to the sentiments of US soldiers in previous conflicts. But I suspect these are new sentiments, or at least a new willingness to express them this openly and directly.

But as one serviceman told me: "What people in the media don't understand when they compare past conflicts to this one, is this operation has no morale behind it. That makes a world of difference to service members deployed to undesirable locations indefinitely."

Read that last part again: No morale. Deployed to undesirable locations INDEFINITELY.

My own conclusion: When a war has no morale behind it, winning means that you simply end it. There is no other "winning" in such an unjust war.

[Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸 @FmrRepMTG]

They are discussing using nuclear weapons on Iran in strategy meetings.

Yes you read that correctly. It’s real. I’m not speculating, I know.

And it’s pure evil.

The last time a nuclear weapon was used was August 6th and 9th of 1945 on two cities in Japan, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, immediately killing 110,000 people, vaporizing people at ground zero, and total deaths reached 214,000 by the end of the year from severe burns and trauma.

But the extreme suffering continued for the Japanese people from radiation sickness, skyrocketing cancer rates, and generational birth defects.

Not to mention wiping out all means of their economy.

And the suffering was so great that all of humanity vowed, “never again.”

Trump and his admin were told by our own intelligence that Iran was no where near creating a nuclear weapon, then Israel said the same line it’s repeated for decades, “Iran is only weeks away.”

So we bombed anyways, killed their leaders and innocent little children in a school, and Iran has controlled the Strait of Hormuz ever since and punished the region for their part in it.

And now our government is the one actually discussing lowering the nuclear threshold in order to use nuclear weapons against Iran even though Trump claims he’s won the war like 40 times and says the U.S. controls the SoH.

Trump promised no more foreign wars, but may actually be the one who delivers a nuclear holocaust that would likely drag the entire world into major conflict, economic depression, and mass human suffering we’ve never seen in our lifetimes and maybe throughout history.

People need to speak out and boldly stop this insanity.

America is not untouchable.

If and when that happens, everyone, and I do mean everyone, will hold ALL of those in leadership right now fully responsible for the rest of human history.

Do not use nuclear weapons and stop this war NOW.

This is what the end of empire looks like...

[Saagar Enjeti @esaagar]

This is the future that the Neocons have bought us: The munitions are GONE. We have to choose where to expend resources

Trump now chooses to prioritize war with Iran over a top 10 US trading partner and decades long US ally that bled with America in Vietnam
