I can’t think of any reason to completely wreck the ag markets in entire United States other than purposeful sabotage.

Regrowing a very old man’s ear without leaving a scar after having been blown off with a bullet is a scientifically wondrous achievement the Trump Administration should be touting around the world.

If people really find this to be such an easy conclusion, then Congressional authority should be easy to get.

So why don’t they insist on a vote?

They know this isn’t “progressive” resistance. They want to marginalize it as such because on top of this war being ILLEGAL, it’s also deeply unpopular.
CNN’s Van Jones urges “progressives” to “get on board” with bombing Iran:

“I think progressives underestimate how dangerous Iran is. Iran is not a normal country,” he said on air.

Jones did not share whether he considers Israel—an apartheid state currently committing genocide—a “normal country.”

BREAKING: In a unanimous decision, a federal court of appeals has ruled that Louisiana's law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in all public school classrooms is unconstitutional.

We’ll keep saying it: Public schools are not Sunday schools.

I wish everyone in #Ohio knew how state politicians are trying to spend their tax dollars

This budget bill is inhumane. No other way to describe it. #Republicans are openly trying to give tax cuts to billionaires by hurting literally everyone else
