.@SenatorWicker is just like the rest of the GOP - a sad coward too scared to tell you the truth about this bad Iran deal for fear of retribution from Trump.

We need to be clear about what is happening in this photo.

Rick Scarborough, former Southern Baptist pastor, got on stage at the Texas Republican Convention and told state DELEGATE Mohamed Hussein to convert to Christianity or leave the country. He was so upset that he cried. It was then and only then that Rick felt guilty, so he sat down and pretended to pray for him.

The only evil we need to expel from this state are the people who don’t believe in the CONSTITUTIONALLY PROTECTED RIGHT of freedom of religion.

Trump said he demanded unconditional surrender, we just didn’t know he meant America’s.

We spent over $70B bombing them.
We will spend $300B to rebuild them.
We lost this war, and now we will be funding Iran.

[Jo @JoJoFromJerz]

So, Trump is gonna give Iran $300 billion to open a strait that wasn’t closed, so long as they promise not build a nuke they didn’t have?

Do I have that just about right?

[Tim in TX 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @TiminTX1967]

@atrupar They lost their minds over the JCPOA that gave them access to 1.5% of this and was simply unfrozen assets.

[Michael McFaul @McFaul]

Of course, I am happy that the Strait of Hormuz will soon be open. That's a good outcome for the entire global economy.

But the Strait was opened before the war. We did not need a war to keep it open.

History will remember this period of time as an internationally humiliating era in American society.

JUST IN: This Is A Pretty Stunning Observation.

Trump is celebrating a new Iran agreement centered on a commitment that Iran will never obtain a nuclear weapon.

According to ABC's Jonathan Karl, that same commitment appeared in the very first paragraph of President Obama's nuclear deal more than a decade ago.

Think about that.

First came Obama's agreement.

Then Trump tore it up.

Now Trump is celebrating an agreement built around the same core promise.

[Tom Nichols @RadioFreeTom]

Not exactly the height of strategic wisdom to commit large forces and tie them down, risk significant casualties, and continue to upend the global economy just to save face and solve problems that were all created by a reckless and dumb decision to go to war in the first place.

[John Jackson @hissgoescobra]

I want to give you guys some facts about General Chappie James. He wasn’t a “DEI” hire—he was a complete badass that had to overcome MORE than any white pilot. Did 178 combat missions—that’s like 7 bomber tours on a B-17 in WWII.

His medal count? Impeccable. 3 Distinguished Flying Crosses, 14 Air Medals, Two Legions of Merit, and a Defense Distinguished Service Medal. One of the original Tuskegee Airmen, the first four-star African American General.

Hegseth couldn’t sniff the level of soldiering and warrior that was in Chappie’s DNA. God bless him. And Hegseth took down his picture from a hallway like a racist little child, which is what he is.

[Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski]

Incredible. Scotland puts a wind turbine near Trump’s golf course in Aberdeen 20 years ago. He sues and loses. Then his resulting hatred of wind turbines now ends up with the US Secretaries of Defense & Interior fabricating absurd lies to justify killing wind energy in the US.

[Jo @JoJoFromJerz]

The cult has turned a lunatic’s irrational hatred of windmills into a fucking “National security” issue.

Orwell would have laughed his ass off at this shit.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

It's hard to fathom how deeply evil this is, and that we have people running our country who get sick pleasure from sending women fleeing violence in Iran to an African country in the middle of a brutal civil war.
