I served active duty & every day our great military executes missions. But what Bush & @realDonaldTrump fail to grasp is that Mission Accomplished for a tactical mission does not equate to a strategy. Far from it. Assad still in power. We antagonized Russia. What was the point?
Pompeo’s testimony is a disaster.
Contact your senators now and tell them to vote HECK NO.
Mike Pompeo’s confusing answer about whether Trump asked him to intervene in the Russia probe https://t.co/XQJJH0aQAU
!!! Pompeo just confirmed “a couple hundred Russians were killed” in #Syria in shout-out involving US forces. US Defense officials have so far refused to do so publicly.
Today I announced that I plan to vote against Mike Pompeo’s nomination for Secretary of State. Pompeo is a man who has a record of anti-Muslim statements, some of which he’s read from the House floor. He’s a man who referred to waterboarders not as torturers but as “patriots.”
Senators should reject Mike Pompeo’s nomination to be Secretary of State. He denies the climate crisis, and has been doing the bidding for fossil fuel interests his whole career. The American people deserve better.
41% of Americans don’t know what Auschwitz was. Among those aged 18 to 34, it's two thirds. "Never knew" is replacing "never again"... https://t.co/BzzPniFfM9
NEW: A spokesperson for Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley says he’s asked ranking member Dianne Feinstein to place the new Mueller protection bill on tomorrow’s agenda, setting up a committee vote on the bill as early as tomorrow: https://t.co/UCpJITAvnB
So the next time a politician or his mouthpiece denigrates the press, remember this: Politicians pay people to tell lies.
The press tries to get it right. And if we get it wrong, we tell the truth about it.
Politicians don't.
On what basis does WH Homeland Security Advisor Tom Bossert make this judgment on Russian voter-targeted ads in 2016 election?: "I frankly have a whole lot more confidence that no voter in this country was influenced by those ads." US intel agencies have made no such assessment.
BREAKING: How is this NOT a televised confession of Obstruction of Justice by a U.S. president?
"It's a total witch hunt. I've been saying it for a long time. I've wanted to keep it down."
"I've wanted to keep it down"? WHAT?
This happened this hour.
There is no good way to say this, but @realDonaldTrump is LAWLESS. He is now basically attacking career prosecutors & @FBI agents at the US Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York & the federal judge who authorized the search warrants on Michael Cohen. DISGRACEFUL https://t.co/YVhFYrKxMO
Dear @realDonaldTrump: Remember when you launched cruise missiles at a largely empty field in Syria? That unconstitutional act didn't do very much. Remember when you said last week that US is leaving Syria in six months?
So what is your plan? You're the President now. Remember? https://t.co/Va3ls7QI4m
.@POTUS's pledge to withdraw from #Syria has only emboldened Assad, backed by Russia & Iran, to commit more war crimes in #Douma. @POTUS responded after last year's chemical attack. He should do so again & make Assad pay a price for his brutality. https://t.co/u30kF0ww8g
