Why did Adam Schwarze call me "intellectually bankrupt?" We'll replay the interview at 5:05p on @wccoradio

Do not order flowers from @FromYouFlowers . TWICE now I have ordered a lovely bouquet to deliver to a friend who had surgery. Twice the flowers died and never opened. And they want to refund me only 50%. Bullshit. Do better

[Theresa Melnychuk Kiihn @RoseSuchak]

@sunturtle @FromYouFlowers Agreed! 🙁

[James Martin, SJ @JamesMartinSJ]

So God loves only American troops? Not innocent people who lost their lives in Iran? Where was God's "miraculous protection" for them? This is the inevitable result of believing that God is on "our side." It's making a false god in our image: a god who despises Iranians.

[Congressman Nathaniel Moran @RepNateMoran]

The United States of America must always be prepared to use overwhelming military force when necessary to defend our national security interests and protect Americans at home and abroad.

And, a President should have the latitude to make decisions to that end, but only to the extent that those decisions are also consistent with the inherent authority of a Commander-in-Chief under the U. S. Constitution and the provisions of the War Powers Resolution. To date, I have supported the President’s decisions relating to the Iranian conflict because they were consistent with these authorities and the ultimate goal of protecting national security interests.

At the same time, what sets America apart is not only our strength, but how we use it. Our nation has always conducted military operations for just causes and through just and moral means. This must continue in the future; otherwise we forfeit our legitimacy to lead the world.

So, let me be clear: I do not support the destruction of a "whole civilization." That is not who we are, and it is not consistent with the principles that have long guided America. 

I have and will continue to support a strong national defense—one that is focused, disciplined, and firmly rooted in protecting the safety and security of the American people. But, how we protect the lives of the innocent is just as important as how we engage the enemy.

America is great because America is good.

Both need to be impeached. I can’t do it. Are we really trapped with these two chuckleheads?

[Chuck Todd @chucktodd]

This is beyond bizarre. A sitting VP of the USA attacking our close allies in Europe (you know, those bureaucrats in Brussels!) in a stump speech for a self-described illiberal politician that has the support of Putin. The Republican Party I grew up with would cringe at any American politician doing this, let alone a Republican!

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

It’s also worth repeating that the Vice President of the United States of America is in Hungary right now endorsing a corrupt autocrat because a Russian dictator ordered him to.

[Theresa Melnychuk Kiihn @RoseSuchak]

You’ve left us all behind. There’s a lunatic in the house.

[The White House @WhiteHouse]

In the United States military, we leave no American behind.

[U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops @USCCB]

Most Rev. Paul S. Coakley, Archbishop of Oklahoma City and President of the USCCB, joins his voice to Pope Leo XIV's call for dialogue and peace amid reports of increased threats of military action in Iran, including targeting of civilian infrastructure.
"Let us entrust to the Lord all hearts that suffer and await the true peace that only He can give. Let us entrust ourselves to Him and open our hearts to Him! He is the only one who makes all things new."
Pope Leo has invited everyone to join him in a prayer vigil for peace on Saturday, April 11. Archbishop Coakley makes a special plea to all people yearning for peace to join the Holy Father's Vigil for Peace this Easter Season.

[Diane Montagna @dianemontagna]

JUST IN: The President of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, Archbishop Paul Coakley, has issued a statement saying: “The threat of destroying a whole civilization and the intentional targeting of civilian infrastructure cannot be morally justified. … I call on President Trump to step back from the precipice of war and negotiate a just settlement for the sake of peace and before more lives are lost.” https://t.co/aebEfgniX1

[Christopher Hale @ChristopherHale]

BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV declares the Iran War is “unjust” and “is not solving anything.”

After suggesting Trump is committing war crimes by targeting civilian infrastructure, he called on Americans to contact Congress to help end the war.

CNN: "In the initial statement from DHS, they said these two migrants had attacked the ICE agents in Minneapolis with the shovel, but what this video shows is this was not the case ... the two ICE agents made false statements under oath."

[Rep. Keith Ammon @RepKeithAmmon]

I didn't vote for wiping out a whole civilization in one night. Did you? I voted for no new new wars.

[Governor Newsom Press Office @GovPressOffice]

The Vice President is abroad campaigning for a dictator.

The President is threatening to wipe out an entire civilization.

Congress is on recess.

This is a total collapse of American moral leadership — at a historic scale.

[Aaron Parnas @AaronParnas]

Congress is meant to be a check on the President.

For 15 months, Congress has been nowhere to be found.

History books will be written about one of the weakest Congress' in American history.

[The Washington Times @WashTimes]

Those favoring impeachment include 14% of Republicans, 55% of independents and 84% of Democrats, according to Lake Research Partners, a firm that polled for President Biden.
