In the best case scenario, Trump struck a deal to reopen a Strait that was open before the pointless war he started, with the IRGC demonstrating its control over the Strait and potentially extracting fees plus sanctions relief. Thousands of innocents - including hundreds of children - dead in Lebanon and Iran for no reason. U.S. troops killed and wounded. U.S. embassies and bases in the Middle East badly damaged. U.S. standing in the world obliterated. U.S. munitions badly depleted. Hundreds of billions spent. Prices up everywhere. More global economic fallout to come. Putin strengthened and enriched. Just a catastrophic situation even in the best of circumstances. A profoundly shameful episode in American history no matter what happens next.
In a political career defined by grotesque statements, this president’s horrifying, illegal, and genocidal threat this morning is among the most dangerous and appalling.
You can’t shout “fire” in a crowded theater and a president cannot be allowed to threaten genocide with the United States military. Threats of war crimes and disregard for human life must be met with accountability under the law.
Trump must go—and Republicans, whether in the Cabinet or Congress, must join Democrats in using any and all constitutional powers at our collective disposal to end this illegal war and take the gun out of this madman’s hands.
The Supreme Court spent 3 hours on Monday arguing over whether to change a century and a half of election law in order to soothe Donald Trump's bruised ego. They just might. Because the GOP and their justices are beyond craven.

I cannot state this more emphatically. Every American military service members who dies in the pedophile führer's illegal war of choice in Iran is dying for NOTHING.
Imagine seeing a doctor without checking your bank account. Childcare that doesn’t swallow half of your paycheck. Paid leave when life happens.
We’re told it’s “too expensive” but there’s always endless money for ICE and wars without end. The problem isn’t cost. It’s priorities.
American culture is NOT Latin culture. They want to replace our cultural memories, make us third world, and destroy us; I will not let them.
America first.
Copy of birth certificate: $25
Copy of marriage license: $25
Divorce decree and name change back: $50
A $100 poll tax for every divorced woman in the country.
There seems to be some confusion about the SAVE America Act. If it becomes law, you will NOT be able to vote with your drivers license alone.
You’d need:
1. A passport, which more than half of Americans don’t have and costs at least $130
OR
2. A birth certificate PLUS your photo ID with matching names, which nearly 70 million married women lack
OR
3. Military services papers (not a military ID alone) with sensitive info.
I’m voting NO.
