It doesn’t matter whether Khamenei is dead or not. What matters is how insane it is to live in an era where one country can assassinate the heads of other states with total international impunity. The fact that this precedent is now fully normalized is fucking nuts.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

They lied and said Iran had nukes or were close to having nukes.

And of course Iran didn’t which is why the US and Israel were able to bomb Iran so easily today.

You know who does have nukes? North Korea. And the US will never dare attack Kim.

This is a recipe for more nukes.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

It’s insane this is legal. People around Trump are profiting off war and death. I’m introducing legislation ASAP to ban this.

[Steve Rattner @SteveRattner]

Don’t let the GOP’s lies fool you: undocumented immigrants can’t get Medicaid, Medicare, or Obamacare. The only way in which the federal govt might pay for their healthcare is through ERs, which are required to give emergency care to all people. Medicaid reimburses hospitals for uninsured ER care, but it’s a tiny share of spending.

We need to clear some things up.

1. Bagram is not reopened & there are no U.S. forces in Afghanistan.

2. Stop going back to Afghanistan. Do not leave the US if you are here. You’re fucking it up for everyone else.

3. Family reunifications through I730 aren’t happening. At all.

[Rep. Don Beyer @RepDonBeyer]

The very people who were loudest in lecturing us on political rhetoric now label millions of Americans peacefully exercising their constitutional right to free speech "terrorist" because they don't hold conservative views.

Disgraceful and unacceptable @GOPMajorityWhip.

[The Provost / سيدة الفتنة @MsEntropy]

In 2009, when that DHS memo about militias recruiting members of the military leaked, the entire right-wing went ballistic about “partisan political prosecution” and “patriotic dissent” and “domestic extremism” and “government overreach.”

TERRORISM EXPERT HERE:

This statement is a clear example of what is known as “State Terrorism”: When the dictatorship will order all instruments of its state security & intelligence apparatus against its own citizens to terrorize the population.

There is no left wing terrorism organization or machine.
They just want to kill Americans.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

STATES CANNOT INVADE ONE ANOTHER.

This is so simple -- so fundamental to America -- I cannot believe I have to type those words.

America is on the brink of martial law.

[Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski]

One person having the power to upend entire industries and economic sectors on a whim every day that puts companies out of business and workers out of jobs with no legislative input is an autocracy, regardless of whether that person initially acquired power through an election.

Good work @PeteHegseth

[Gene Trevino @GenoVeno73]

So, let me get this straight....

President Biden offered student loan forgiveness to help young adults get ahead in life and with their finances.

The @GOP @HouseGOP @SenateGOP took him to court citing "executive overreach" and "cost to taxpayers."

But nnoowww, Republicans are perfectly ok with giving student loan forgiveness to new ICE agents, plus a $50,000 sign-on bonus.

MAKE THAT MAKE SENSE

[Mario @PawlowskiMario]

BREAKING🇺🇸:

When local law enforcement is starting speaking against federal law enforcement (ICE) you know something serious is brewing.

BROADVIEW POLICE CHIEF ON ICE: “I was shocked. I’ve never been spoken to by a fellow law enforcement officer in such a way.”

Trump is a divider in chief, law enforcement is starting to notice.

[Krystal Ball @krystalball]

From Ken: “I don’t want to sound hyperbolic but the plain truth is that NSPM-7 is a declaration of war on anyone who does not support the Trump administration and its agenda.”

[Krystal Ball @krystalball]

79 year old American business owner slammed to the ground by ICE. Suffered broken ribs and head trauma as he tried to show them his workers’ paperwork.

[Krystal Ball @krystalball]

Lack of mainstream coverage of this or concern from Dem electeds is truly wild.

[Brad Lander @bradlander]

Court-watchers confirm this cruel ICE agent has been reinstated.

Last week, in the briefest moment of decency, violently throwing a woman to the floor was “beneath the men and women of ICE.”

This week, it’s back to business as usual. The cruelty, after all, is the point.

[Joyce Alene @JoyceWhiteVance]

As a US Atty, I prosecuted and oversaw police excessive force cases. We took them seriously because they were serious abuses of power. What we're seeing now is the outbreak of an epidemic & instead of being condemned by fed'l law enforcement leaders, it seems to be tolerated if not encouraged.
