The images coming out of Iran are already unbearable. Reports of an elementary school struck by missiles, killing dozens of people, with scores more killed around the country. Fear and chaos in the streets as families run through smoke and search for safety.
The United States and Israel have launched an illegal act of war while Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu speak openly of regime change. This is what Prime Minister Mark Carney says he supports. He has issued a statement so brazenly belligerent that even Conservatives like Jason Kenney are cheering it on.
It’s a shameful moment that buries all of Carney’s high-minded rhetoric in Davos under the rubble.
These leaders justify this war as serving Iranian liberation. But the courageous movement in Iran that has been fighting tyranny for nearly five decades — and is still reeling from the worst massacre in the country’s modern history in January — will suffer a massive setback from these foreign bombs.
We remember the disastrous outcomes of previous U.S.-led wars of regime change in the Middle East, including in Iraq. They led to hundreds of thousands of civilian deaths, sectarian conflict, and a world that is less safe, not more. The current attacks on Iran must stop now, before the entire region is plunged into conflict, death, and destruction.
My thoughts are with the people in Iran and around the world who are watching this unfold with heartbreak and uncertainty.
Freedom will not come from military intervention by outside powers, it can only come from the Iranian people. War is not the way.
Open enrollment for ACA healthcare plans has started, and enrollees are seeing what their premium costs will be next year.
Without subsidies, one couple will see their monthly costs increase from $495 to $2,168 — a 300% increase.
This is what Democrats are fighting to prevent.
We thought Mueller would expose him but Barr lied about it, or Jack Smith would indict him but Merrick Garland slow walked it, or Congress would impeach him but Mitch McConnell normalized it, or the judiciary would punish him but SCOTUS immunized it. It's up to us now - go vote.

This government shut down is all about whether Republicans will get away with raising health care premiums by 75% for 20 million Americans and throwing 15 million people off their health care.
We can't allow that to happen.
Donald Trump wants to GUT already approved funds for public media like Sesame Street, NPR, and your local stations.
If he gets away with this, next time he’ll going after your community’s funding for education, housing, climate, you name it.
We've got to sound the alarm.
Trump is firing immigration judges.
His regime is ending "temporary protected status" for thousands of people here legally.
ICE is arresting asylum seekers at their hearings.
The DOJ is threatening to strip immigrants of their citizenship.
Trump never actually supported "legal immigration."
As an investigative reporter, I won't opine on the question of fitness, but Andrew Cuomo has an extensively documented history of taking actions that experts deem illegal to dismantle law enforcement investigations around him and retaliate against those behind such efforts.
Last night, every single Conservative MP voted against:
– Managing asylum seekers at the border
– A National School Food Program
– Dental coverage for seniors
– New immigration screening systems
– Canadian clean energy projects
– The Kids Help Phone
The Union of Postal Workers made significant concessions, reduced wage demands considerably and Management at Canada Post came back with ...nothing.
Time to force management to negotiate!
