CSIS munitions expert Seth Jones: "the reality is neither Israel nor the United States have sufficient munitions, either offensive or defensive, for a war that really lasts weeks into months."
There are 1+ Million Americans who live in these countries. I am hearing INSANE stories about those citizens who want to get out with no commercial airports open and just guidance to sign up for alerts as they are literally sheltering at home with missiles flying over their heads
A declared regime change war of choice for "freedom" of the Iranian people. A regional war in a matter of hours. American lives at risk. A massive depletion of military stockpiles on behalf of Israel
Most importantly: The most profound campaign betrayal in modern US history
"If someone admits they made a mistake, have the grace to let it go.

Outcome over ego."

The devastation in Gaza is unconscionable. We must urge an immediate ceasefire. The killing of Palestinians and Israelis must end. We must also take a hard look at nearly $4 billion a year in military aid to Israel. It is illegal for U.S. aid to support human rights violations.
#BREAKING: One in 7 people in prison is serving a life sentence, finds new @Sentencingproj report. We can’t solve our nation’s mass incarceration crisis without ending the culture of extreme sentencing. #EndLifeImprisonment#20YearsIsEnough https://t.co/twIWRMaXf6
This is unacceptable.
We now need to know more about @RobinhoodApp’s decision to block retail investors from purchasing stock while hedge funds are freely able to trade the stock as they see fit.
As a member of the Financial Services Cmte, I’d support a hearing if necessary.
"A lot of problems happen because of your internal state.
When you’re calm, happy, and fulfilled you don’t pick fights, create drama, or keep score."
