On one hand, Republican officials call themselves "warfighters." On the other, they become whiny crybabies at the thought of setting foot in DC streets and New York City subways that literal schoolchildren navigate every day without incident. Real macho stuff.

A good argument if corn fields could vote.
The former head of Israel's military intelligence just praised the deaths of innocents as "necessary...as a message for future generations." If we do nothing, we will have to tell our children that we stood idly by as millions of people were sent to their graves. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...
Seriously, where are these low prices?
It's time we make Washington a lot more like Michigan. And we might just show the way out of the wilderness for the Democratic Party in the process.
So we did what we said we were going to do - raising wages, repealing the 1931 abortion ban, expanding civil rights, voting rights, protecting our water, passing the strongest clean energy legislation in the midwest, enacting universal school meals, universal pre-K, and so much more.
Donald Trump's approval rating is dropping. Fast. But right now the only thing with a lower approval rating is the Democratic Party - which just hit its lowest approval rating in 30 years. š§µ
Now that Donald Trumpās āBig Beautiful Billā is law, 51,000 more people will die preventable deaths each year. Republicans voted to let thousands of people die so they could give billionaires government handouts.

Holy effing shit .. Diddy gets off with no mandatory minimums. I'm shook!
I will be forcing vote to strike Republican proposal to help Alaska by delaying major SNAP cuts only for states with HIGH error rates (AK, DC, FL, GA, MD, MA, NJ, NM, NY, OR). If they keep it high for another year, they get another yr of delay. Insanity reigns. Rewarding errors.
Sick and tired of Republican Senators coming to me privately saying, āMark, keep speaking up, youāre our conscience.ā I donāt want to be their damn conscience. I want them to vote their conscience.
Big update: after overnight meetings with the parliamentarian my team successfully got these exemptions stripped from the bill. Special giveaways to protect certain states from these devastating Medicaid cuts is the worst form of hypocrisy.
The sun has risen over the Capitol. We've been voting on amendments to the Big Ugly Bill for 21 hours. Republicans can't find the votes to pass this monstrosity ā so they're wheeling and dealing. And making a bad bill even worse.
While you slept: Senate Republicans were up all night scrambling to salvage their cruel budgetābribing their own members with carveouts to shield their states from the very Medicaid and SNAP cuts theyāre forcing on everyone else.
Update: We have now been at this for 22 hours and Republicans are still hard at work trying to kick 17 million Americans off their health care to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.
First quarter of my US Senate campaign by the numbers: ā >$2.1 million raised ā >28,000 individual donors ā All 83 counties ā 97% of donations under $100 Together we are doing something BIG. And we're just getting started. LETāS GO!
I'm a reoccurring monthly donor. Let's go MI! Vote McMorrow!!! She's a powerhouse, intelligent, and fighting for we the people!!!!
Sunās up! Republicans still have no plan. Legend is they at least at last have a bill. Just not the votes for it. Weāre on Vote 45.
6:05 am. Hour 21 of fighting this awful tax scam. Been up all night, but not going to give up anytime soon. The health care of 17 million Americans is too important not to fight for.
The Alaska senators looking for another special deal for Alaska so they can screw over the rest of the country.
It shouldn't get lost that just today, Senate Republicans have voted to close nursing homes, close rural hospitals, and cut food stamp benefits for children and veterans.
In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until itās done. My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it. I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.
A Muslim son of immigrants might become mayor of NYC in part because he cross endorsed and supported a Jewish candidate and Black candidate, and vice versa. It's a beautiful American story for the rest of us. A nightmare for all the right people ;) It's so New York.
1. Trump announces where he will bomb in Iran to destroy its nuclear inventory. 2. Iran moves its nuclear inventory from those locations. 3. Trump bombs those locations. 4. Trump: "Yay! Our strikes were a COMPLETE success! Mission accomplished!!!" 5. Iran rolls its eyes & jacks up US gas prices.
Trump posts that he wants to make Iran great again with regime change and his State Dept spokesperson says Israel is the greatest country in the world. America First! MAGA!
āIran sent a communiquĆ© to Trump in the days before last night's strikes on its nuclear facilities threatening to activate sleeper-cell terror inside the United States if it were attacked.ā
We donāt know if weāre safer todayābut we do know this president never made the case that Iran posed an imminent nuclear threat.
Pretty sure having JD Vance and Marco Rubio making the media rounds today isnāt helping Donald Trump and MAGA one bit. Theyāre outing themselves as warmongers. šæ
Definitely! Not all domestic terorists are MAGAā¦ but 99.999% of MAGA are predisposed for terrorism
Are we gonna find out that a MAGA crashed into Crosspointe Community Church in Wayne, Michigan and tried shooting people?
Those āall lives matterā people are really quiet right now.
Very Cool š
He illegally started a war and nothing will happen because everyone in Congress is a spineless coward.
Why are no headlines focusing on the unconstitutional and dictatorial nature of this action?
If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War wonāt cost a lot of money 3) We wonāt need a lot of troops 4) Weāll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) Weāll find WMDs 6) Weāll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It wonāt take long All lies.
May the powers that be protect our troops on bases in the Middle East. š
Remember all that āgenocide Joeā and āKamala is a war hawkā shit? Yeahā¦psyops. It worked.
Opinion | Democrats have a choice. They can either support Trump's war in Iran or they can look like peacenik weaklings to swing voters.
Iran state media: 'every American citizen or military personnel in the region is now a target'.
Trump wore his campaign hat in the situation room forever associating MAGA with the bombing of Iran
Just to be crystal clear: bombing Iran is completely illegal.
Trump bombs Iran ā to distract you from the US Marines in your backyard.
Trump after illegally bombing another country and murdering people: āthank you God. I love you God.ā āGod bless Israel.ā
FUN FACT: Netanyahu has spent the better part of two decades trying to strong arm the United States into an unprovoked war against Iran and finally found a president stupid enough to do it for him. Unbelievable.
God protect and bless our troops. ššš
Please donāt presume this is now an American president making a serious decision for the good of America, not a malignant despot desperate to be seen as a strong man.
Hereās what to know: Trump got us into yet another Middle East war, and itās going break us. Again.
I want to know what Republicans are doing about an expressly unconstitutional use of military power by the US President.
Hereās the difference, fucknuts: Americaās Hitler is now president and all precedent is done ā AMERICA IS FUCKED UNDER TRUMP.
Richard Engel, NBC News chief foreign correspondent, explains what is different about right now versus times in the past when U.S. attacks on Iran might have been considered.
Scary shit this irresponsible baboon weāve put in charge of our war apparatus. Where the FUCK is CONGRESS!!!!?
The images of trump in his war room wearing his MAGA red hat are sickening.
Peacemaker!

Trump faces backlash from Maga base after strikes on Iran https://on.ft.com/4eeuN6N
Donald Trump illegally took military action against Iranāwithout congressional authorizationārisking dragging us into another endless war. I am calling for an immediate emergency session of Congress to vote on the War Powers Resolution.
And so the United States goes to war with Iran without so much as a by your leave to the American people. No statement, other than on social media; no notice to Congress; no serious deliberation. This is the stuff of autocrats. Disgraceful.
Bombs 3 nuclear sites and then says āNow is the time for peaceā? This is an escalation that will lead to more death. Congress must reconvene immediately to stop the President from pushing us into war.
The Presidentās decision to bomb Iran was grossly unconstitutional, since only Congress has the power to declare war. The Presidentās action will without a doubt lead to many American, Israeli and Iranian deaths and must be condemned in the strongest possible terms.
Theyāve diverted our domestic security apparatus ā even parts of the military ā away from actual threats & focused it on ripping apart communities & deporting workers. I guess if they botch a domestic attack theyāll just use it as a reason to expand their police state up to & including martial law.
Two things should happen immediately: - Iran surrenders its nuclear program & ceases funding terrorists. - Congress revokes the 2001 & 2002 war authorities so that the American public can get an open & thorough debate on war-making.
It is illegal for Donald Trump to drag America into another endless foreign war. Congress should immediately pass a War Powers Resolution to block Trump from carrying out an unconstitutional war.
The power to declare war resides solely with Congress. Donald Trumpās unilateral decision to attack Iran is unauthorized and unconstitutional. In doing so, the President has exposed our military and diplomatic personnel in the region to the risk of further escalation. 1/2
My statement on the U.S. strikes on Iran:
This is reckless, illegal action from the president. He does NOT have the authority to enter us into a war with Iran. He MUST consult Congress. This is not what Americans want. Iām thinking about our troops tonight.
This is your hypocritical, āanti-warā president who just illegally struck Iran and is putting countless lives at risk.
