Chris Murphy: “This is the most incompetent, incoherent war America has fought in the last 100 years — this administration has no idea what they are doing I have great sympathy for our soldiers & our military leaders — they are being given directions by a senile old man who is losing his mind”
7 U.S. service members and over 1,000 civilians have been killed since President Trump launched an illegal war with Iran. As these veteran members of Congress know, the costs of war are only going to rise. Congress should refuse to fund this unconstitutional war before more people are killed.
These Lawmakers Were Shaped by Combat After 9/11. Now They're Grappling with a New Mideast War
As Congress responds to President Donald Trump's attack on Iran, lawmakers who served on the front lines of Iraq and Afghanistan are making their voices heard in a war debate that has taken on intensely personal meaning.

You are not intimidating, they are intimidated. It’s their issue, not yours. Keep Being You! 😊
The president should be impeached and convicted, as should everyone responsible for these outrages. ICE should be disbanded. So should the Department of Homeland Security. And the people who have killed should be investigated and brought before judges and juries.
Timothy Snyder@timothysnyder.bsky.social · 7mo agoWe have to see the logic of the killings as well as the killings themselves. The horror is a truth in itself. But it is also a sign of a political logic, one known from the totalitarian regimes of the twentieth century. snyder.substack.com/p/lies-and-l...

As it turns out, unaccountable mobs of armed and anonymous goons rampaging through American cities is really unpopular. Who’d a thunk it? 👋 Dems! Vociferous opposition to ICE is not just the right and patriotic thing to do, it is also a winning “kitchen table” concern to the American people.
Simon Rosenberg@simonwdc.bsky.social · 7mo agoThis YouGov poll on ICE is really eye-opening. Public opinion has really swung against DHS/ICE and their terror regime. d3nkl3psvxxpe9.cloudfront.net/documents/IC...
Protesters gather in Albany, NY yesterday. The murder of Renee Nicole Good by DH"SS" agent Johnathan Ross is horrific proof that we need to take ice off our streets.

Members of Congress: stop posting online and APPEAR, PHYSICALLY on the steps of the Capitol to decry this unconstitutional violation of domestic & international law. SHOW THE PEOPLE the level of danger we are facing as a country. @housedemocrats.bsky.social @senatedemocrats.bsky.social
I’ll just leave this here as we reflect on the U.S. invasion of Venezuela.
It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad. The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.
Congratulations to the 19 states raising the minimum wage in 2026. But let’s be clear: a $7.25 federal minimum wage is a national disgrace. No one who works full-time should live in poverty. We must keep fighting to guarantee all workers a living wage — not starvation wages.
HuffPost@huffpost.com · 8mo agoAs the federal minimum wage languishes, 20 states are on their way to a $15 wage floor if they haven't reached it already.
The Washington Post is wrong. We need Medicare for All.

It was reprehensible when people mocked condom usage at the height of the AIDS pandemic. It is just as depraved to mock those wearing masks to reduce the spread of airborne viruses today. Whenever someone takes any kind of step to protect public health, they should be applauded, not mocked.

Doctor friends! Roon has just launched a physician community - a virtual doctor's lounge where we can share clinical knowledge and experiences. I'm a Founding Physician and am having so much fun connecting with colleagues around the country. Come join me at www.roon.com!

When society has a problem it can't solve, the answer is frequently to have the GP do it! The obv problems with this are that: GP's aren't good at it, and it consumes their time from doing important things.
