The Dire Consequences of Trump’s Suleimani Decision

Trump has managed to get disparate groups inside #Iran who have little to otherwise agree on to rally around the flag.

Millions of Iranians are out on the streets now to commend and mourn a commander of the same Revolutionary Guard which cracked down on major unrest weeks ago. pic.twitter.com/cWw47DNn7e

“Right now, Russia’s security services and their proxies have geared up to repeat their interference in the 2020 election. We are running out of time to stop them.

Your periodic reminder that Trump tore babies away from their mother's arms and puts kids in cages.

I firmly believe #KavanaughLied.

I have no doubt in my mind that not only did Kavanaugh lie, but he did so under oath.

His temperament, judgement, and inability to tell the truth is disqualifying from the bench.

But, additional sexual misconduct accusations demand impeachment!

Last year the Kavanaugh nomination was rammed through the Senate without a thorough examination of the allegations against him. Confirmation is not exoneration, and these newest revelations are disturbing. Like the man who appointed him, Kavanaugh should be impeached.

Trump’s ‘go back to your country’ is a classic hate crime trope

For the record “send” is a massive leap forward from voluntarily “leave.” For the president to bask in the chant while his race rally calls for the removal of a sitting congresswoman from the country is a historical moment you should remember. https://t.co/6MtqSLgnW4
