Assessments of Trump's mission are now emerging—and they're far from the total success he claims.
"Whatever the impact of the attacks on Iran’s nuclear program, we can’t believe what Trump will say. His deployment of dishonesty and erratic statements is unlikely to make the world a safer place."

Donald Trump expands his war on truth to Iran
The stakes are high, and, no surprise, the President can't stop misleading us—and the world.

This campaign is a war of choice. And the administration did not try to sell it to Congress—let alone the American people—before embarking on it.
Trump shreds the Constitution by bombing Iran
The attack on Iranian nuclear sites is a risky gamble. And it was completely by choice.

Democrats should organize a letter with all Govs, statewides, state leg and Congressional leaders to be sent to Trump, Noem et al demanding they stop this masked, police state shit.
It’s so far over the line, totally unnecessary and already been exploited to kill a prominent elected official.

Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium.
ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

It was always a crystal clear 100% certainty that if the orange convicted felon was sent back into the White House instead of being sent to prison that he would bring the United States into war, economic collapse and total chaos. This is on everyone who voted for him.

OMG, just spoke with my rep Mark Amodei’s office (Anna Marie) asking about ICE covering their faces, not showing ID, and arresting Americans, including politicians. She literally asked me if I had any source materials, or if was just something I had heard? OMFG. I told her of the New York incident

Previous US administrations prevented Netenyahu pursuing his lunatic plans. This one has been utterly humiliated by him, having to play catch up with an actor it cannot control or condemn. What we're seeing here is the reality of US decline.
No - he shifted under the pressure of his own staggering weakness: the incapacity to formulate coherent policy, the spectacular ignorance and destructiveness & above all the stupefying egocentrism that drives him to appear in command of events when he is just awash in the chaos he creates.

I'm calling for every Democratic leader and candidate to stand against ICE, to call for its abolition, and to materially support immigrants.
