Breaking down politics with facts that matter, to drive meaningful action and change

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

How is this not the headline in every major news outlet?

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Breaking News: The FDA has blocked publication of research that found widely used Covid-19 and shingles vaccines were safe. https://t.co/P4ZNeIfvPV

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

GOP Senator Kennedy admits Trump is the reason for TSA shutdown: "He said said 'No deals with the Democrats.' We could have had TSA paid by the end of the week. But the President said 'No deal.'"

[Charlie Sykes @SykesCharlie]

This seems kind of important. https://t.co/VLUoA1iZYG

"The speed with which American democracy is currently dismantled is unprecedented in modern history," one of the world's top democracy researchers says in a new report. https://t.co/jOIZ1Or2AM

Did you know that 6 months ago, while presumably we were planning this stupid war, the Navy decommissioned its four Avenger-class minesweepers that had been stationed in Bahrain precisely to deal with Iranian mines in the Strait? More from JVL.

remember when a bunch of teenagers working for Elon cut the funding to Sesame Street a year ago because America was on the verge of financial collapse or something?

[Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump]

The United States has spent EIGHT TRILLION DOLLARS fighting and policing in the Middle East. Thousands of our Great Soldiers have died or been badly wounded. Millions of people have died on the other side. GOING INTO THE MIDDLE EAST IS THE WORST DECISION EVER MADE.....

[Rahm Emanuel @RahmEmanuel]

Trump has bombed eight countries in the past 15 months alone. That’s a new military strike every six weeks in a new country. He went from gun shy in his first term to trigger happy in his second.

The President and his administration have yet to explain why and why now. He could have made this about stopping Iran’s nuclear capabilities and missile threats, instead he chose to make this about regime change. That cannot be accomplished from the air.

Our military men and women deserve clear and concise objectives, the American people deserve an explanation of why, and our service men and women deserve leadership worthy of their sacrifice.

[Rick Wilson @TheRickWilson]

Just so we're clear, the number of Americans who approve of Trump's Iran war is 27%.

So we're also clear, the number of Americans who approved of the Vietnam War at its end in 1973-4 was 29%.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

This is the single most important point that most Americans are probably unaware of because our media sucks and the Democratic leadership sucks

[Dan Pfeiffer @danpfeiffer]

Barack Obama reached a deal that prevented Iran from getting a nuclear weapon.

Trump ripped up that deal.

Now we are at war with Iran to prevent it from getting a nuclear weapon.

Train her face?!

You need to train your misogyny, Frank.

In honor of #InternationalCatDay, let us remember that JD Vance has "nothing against cats” — just women and the right to bodily autonomy.

If you haven’t watched @Tim_Walz speech tonight you can watch it in full here

[Ron Fournier @ron_fournier]

Tim Walz gets to the airport 3 hours early to check on his gate.

When his kids say, “I’m hungry,” he says, “Hello, Hungry. I’m Dad.”

He says we need rain when it’s raining.

He wears a ball cap in the sun, never sun glasses.

He doesn’t nap; he rests his eyes.

I am #TimWalz

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

When I called @Tim_Walz this morning to ask him to join our campaign, I shared my deep level of respect for him and the work we've done together.

We're going to unify this country and we're going to win.

Let's go get this done.
