If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:

1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long

All lies.

Impeachment now. This is not a legal gray area - this open defiance of our constitutional system.
There's no declaration of war, and no AUMF that covers this. Entering this war is wrong on the merits; we had a perfectly peaceful way to address Iran's nuclear program. It's also unlawful. A democratic republic should not be able to enter a war of choice on one man's say-so.
The US has hust dropped bombs on three Iranian nuclear sites, according to Trump, bringing American military forces into Israel’s war with Iran.

👀🚨 Bombing another country “that does not pose an imminent m threat to the US without the approval of Congress” is “an unambiguous impeachable offense.” - Democratic Rep @casten.house.gov

Need other Dems to show the same kind of courage in this moment.
This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.

I bought a Tesla because it was fast like a rocket ship. But now every time I drive it, I feel like a rolling billboard for a man dismantling our government and hurting people. So Tesla, you’re fired!

New ride coming soon.

I’m totally fine with deporting gang members who commit crimes who don’t have legal status.

I just don’t want Tom Homan or an ICE agent grabbing anyone off the street and flying them to a prison in El Salvador while claiming they are all of those things with zero due process.

We are living in very dangerous, unusual times.

Today, the White House ignored a ruling by a Federal District Court because we have President who is an ignorant buffoon with no respect for the law or the Constitution.

THIS IS AN EMERGENCY!

If you let the executive deport people to a foreign gulag just by pronouncing the word “terrorism,” then expect to be called a “terrorist” soon yourself.

If it weren't so disturbing it would be pretty funny that MAGA is now lionizing electric cars, championing huge government and fiscal insanity, and lining up behind a shadowy globalist billionaire who's really into implanting chips into people's brains.

We need a Navalny, not a Newsom.

No offense intended against mainstream politicians like Newsom.

It’s just that at this point we are way beyond the realm of normal bullshit politics.

Being a historian, people ask me if I think the US is living through Germany 1933.

I answer no, analogies are always imperfect but to me it feels more like Russia 1999: a blatant theft of state assets and liberals in a fugue state, refusing to believe the arc of progress is bending against them.
