This was all so avoidable.
Trump's reckless war of choice in Iran has been an embarrassing national tragedy that has cost us in American lives, economic stability and affordability, and international credibility.

GOOD THINGS HAPPEN TO GOOD PEOPLE 💖 The Kennedy family gave Jerome Powell their highest honor for standing up to Trump.
Jerome Powell was presented with the 2026 John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award at the JFK Presidential Library, recognized by the Kennedy family foundation for “refusing to bend the Federal Reserve to Donald Trump's political will.”
The award, presented by Caroline Kennedy and her son Jack Schlossberg, cited Powell's years of resistance to relentless pressure and threats originating from the highest levels of the federal government.
Trump repeatedly demanded rate cuts, publicly attacked Powell, and his allies even floated the possibility of criminal charges against him.
Powell didn't flinch.
The award committee put it plainly: Powell faced attacks from elected officials and partisan criticism from across the aisle, yet he refused to let political forces dictate monetary policy.
He defended the Fed's integrity, affirmed his resolve to serve the American people without compromise, and in doing so protected one of the most vital apolitical institutions this country has.
We need more Jeromes and less Donalds.
LOVE what this doctor has to say! As usual, J.D. Vance has the whole situation backward. Upside down. Sideways. Take your pick. I'll settle for just plain WRONG.

All fact checked and true. We need to take these threats seriously.
~Hegseth has fired the three-star general in charge of strategic planning for the war.
~Air defense systems have been installed at Mar-a-Lago
~Every major U.S. military base has been ordered to become self-sufficient for 90 days with no external electricity, fuel or supplies.
Meanwhile, Chris Murphy has warned that the Traitor-in-Chief is about to commit an illegal, insane act of war that will lead to devastating escalation and the destruction of the rule of law, not to mention the targeting of civilians.
50 million having voted early.
Once again, We the People need to take these threats seriously.
Triumvirates in history: Caesar, Pompey and Crassus immediately come to mind with a mixed bag of results from their association. This bag? IMO, evil all the way.

Remember this.👇
The Holocaust didn’t begin with gas chambers. It began with words, propaganda, dehumanization, and ordinary people learning to hate their Jewish neighbors, just as they are today.
That’s why actually teaching history matters. Recognizing how it happened is just as important as remembering that it happened.
Never again means paying attention to what’s happening now and recognizing the same signs that were ignored 93 years ago, when it began.

Trump, Musk and their billionaire friends are spending huge amounts lying about Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan and Angie Nixon in Florida.
Why? Because they have no agenda to help working people. So they resort to Islamophobia, red-baiting and fear-mongering.
NOT GONNA WORK

An extraordinary order: DOJ “shall not threaten, intimidate or coerce state or local elections officials or workers to demand that they halt processing the ballots of any registered voter solely on the basis that the ballot” is someone DOJ says may not be a citizen documentcloud.org/documents/…
"We're Making a freaking fortune." And by this, #Trump means himself and his oil buddies.

Rep. Jared Huffman: “If we’re honest about what’s going on, we have a madman in the White House who is running roughshod, who is running the biggest, most corrupt criminal grift in American history out of the White House.”
