The billionaires’ kids will pay no price. But American kids have already died for a war of vanity and choice. A war that will result in hardline leadership remaining in Iran and no meaningful impact on their nuclear program. A likely moral and strategic disaster.

It’s a week later but I haven’t forgotten that President Trump is trying to arrest leaders in Congress who oppose him politically. Never before in the history of the country has this happened. And we shouldn’t normalize it.
A story that is not being told enough about the Iran War is that the U.S. and Israel have totally different, incompatible goals. The U.S. says it’s targeting weapons systems. Israel wants regime change and a failed state. This conflict leads to total incoherence.
Get ready. As the Iran War spirals out of control, Trump is going to get more desperate. The new attacks on ABC for airing criticism of Trump is a sign of what’s the come. We cannot shrug it off as “Trump being Trump”. He’s trying to build a censorship state - plain and simple.
No President in control of his senses would publicly promise to eradicate an entire civilization. That's why I agree with Republicans who have put the 25th Amendment on the table. Trump seems to be taking us on a path to mass war crimes. That's a path we cannot accept.
The heart of our constitutional crisis in one exchange between me and Sec. Mullin. When asked a simple question - if he will obey court orders - he says he will not because some court orders are "politicized". That's not how democracy works. And that's why we are in a crisis.
The most sacred clause in the Constitution may be the war making clause. Our founding fathers are turning in their grave watching this Republican Congress allow one man lead us into a disastrous, incompetently run war.
A group of us in the Senate are demanding public hearings on Trump's disastrous war with Iran with Secretary Hegseth and Rubio. And we've introduced a half dozen war powers resolutions to force the Senate to vote every day on the war if the hearings don't happen.
ICE has violated almost 100 court orders. Let me say that another way. 100 times ICE was caught brazenly ignoring the law. 100 times a court told them to immediately stop. And 100 times they ignored the order. That's an out-of-control agency that shouldn't get another dime.
Increasingly our culture and economy have become void of virtue. Profit obsession robs work of dignity. Consumerism replaces citizenship. Corruption becomes normal. That’s why I wrote Crisis of the Common Good - to explain that the solution is bigger than just beating Trump.
This week I introduced the Let Kids Play Act with @deluzio.house.gov to get private equity out of youth sports. It's simple - kids sports should be about kids and what's best for them, not jacking up costs to make money for investors.

At an LDER/ @appgfairelections.bsky.social Fringe event, @ollyglover.bsky.social said "I'm spending a lot of time campaigning for Proportional Representation because our politics simply isn't working. (...) We need a politics that brings more ideas into it and where everyone's votes count equally."
When @KasiaBaba hosted me on her stream in Nov 2025, we talked about P4lestine, G4za, my life & work. Here, we talk about why I am helping other G4zan families on top of my own family. Watch the full interview ("the most important video on this channel") on Kasia's YouTube channel!
Trump’s China summit was just a big show of pomp and circumstance.
Israel’s relations with its allies are fraying. Increasingly sharp rhetoric from European leaders is playing out in messaging and on media platforms. @meenakshirv.bsky.social reports on Benjamin Netanyahu’s handling of European ties and instances of real anger towards Israel in European media.

Simple driveway routine turns chaotic when the car is parked too tight for the gate. Two women struggle to adjust it while the dog watches calmly. Was it really hard to park correctly or just bad positioning? #reels #viral #funny #epicfail #comedy
Congress should be in session right now, and every member of Congress should be forced to vote on this war every day that it continues.

For the love of God, elected Democrats: stop taking advice from Republicans about the “way forward.” Your base will not tolerate it. Both sides are not equally to blame for what this country is experiencing right now. That framing is detached from reality. 🧵

Known as “The Black Angels,” these Black nurses cared for tuberculosis patients at a time when many white nurses refused to treat them. They risked their lives to care for people society had abandoned. Their compassion helped save countless lives. History should remember them. #SheShed

Every week this administration produces a new masterpiece of brazen criminality. Trump is sitting in the Oval Office, ancient, oleaginous, trembling with senility, and what does he do? Conjures a $1.8 billion slush fund from the ether to pay off his cronies. Not infrastructure. Not healthcare.

Journalist: People at home feel anxious and confused about the Iran deal. Trump: That's good. That's good they're confused, and the Iranians are confused. It's just the way I am. So…is he saying that he’s confused? 🤔 And that’s a good thing? 😳
