Mr. Antiwar President has us inches away from a Civil War at home and a nuclear war abroad in defense of an ally that is starting random hot regional wars to detract from its ongoing genocide. I’m sure all of this will just naturally cool off.

If a deranged president intentionally destroying the country's economy with a ludicrous obsession (and misunderstanding) of tariffs *isn't* justification for invoking the 25th Amendment, I honestly can't imagine any scenario that would be.

On Monday, an ICE official “admitted in a sworn declaration to an ‘administrative error’ that resulted in the deportation of a … man to a prison in El Salvador … In a legal filing, the govt acknowledged the mistake” but said the court can’t order him returned bc he’s bc he’s no longer in US custody

If Hamas had killed 7 Israelis inside of Israel this week, it would be one of the biggest stories in the world, & all over the US media.
But Israel killed 7 HUNDRED Palestinians this week, including almost 200 children, & yet there's little outrage from our politicians or media.

What’s interesting about the Oval Office fiasco is that it was Trump who repeatedly claimed during the campaign that he would end the war in ‘24 hours’ and that he was a master negotiator.
Did the guy sulking, then berating Zelensky, then kicking him out, look or sound like a master negotiator?
