The amount of lies and tragedies engineered by the Bush administration that one must wipe from their memory — or were too ignorant to even know — to make this kind of fawning statement about Bush is just absolutely positively breathtaking.
After 25 years, I still do not quite understand how Democrats, or our current President, can hold George W. Bush in any kind of contempt after this brave moment and the bullhorn.

US war with Turkey in 5 years or so was just announced and decreed:
Israel’s former PM Naftali Bennett a few days ago: ‘Turkey is the new Iran’ They’re not going to stop at Tehran. Israel is a threat to the entire Middle East.

"Warmongering neocons love sending your kids to die for wars they would never fight themselves."👇👇👇
To anyone still gullible enough to fall for scummy media hoaxes: Trump said warmongering neocons love sending your kids to die for wars they would never fight themselves. Liz Cheney is Kamala’s top advisor. Liz wants to invade the whole Middle East. Kamala = WWIII. Trump = Peace.

Trump’s DOJ killed a state investigation into Epstein’s New Mexico ranch, and the evidence collected is missing from the released files. Trump was never exonerated. He’s leading the coverup.
In 2019, the State of New Mexico launched an investigation of Jeffrey Epstein’s Zorro Ranch, then the Trump 1 Justice Department demanded the state stop and turn it over to the feds. The probe then fizzled. Awesome reporting from @ReisThebault nytimes.com/2026/03/01/us/je… via @NYTimes

Read this then really stop and think about it. Netanyahu said in Hebrew today that he's "doing what I've wanted to do for 40 years", the negotiations were a total lie, Israel and the US had no interest in peace. They were always going to do this illegal war of aggression

We warned you: the wholesale destruction of Gaza was not an exception, it was a blueprint to crush anyone who opposes the plutocratic imperialism embodied by US/Israel and their global allies. Act now: defend int'l law from lawlessness, before the rupture becomes irreversible.
BREAKING: Israel Just Targeted The Iranian Red Crescent Headquarters In Tehran A clear direct assault on medical workers. More attacks on civilian targets. Which indicates weakness as well as immorality.

Jeffrey Sachs courageously confronts genocidal settler Danny Danon for his demagogic screed exploiting one Holocaust to justify committing another Sachs has also correctly noted that Danon's apartheid lobby has bought off much of the US Congress
Danny Danon was confronted by anti-Israel, anti-West Columbia professor Jeffrey Sachs after yesterday’s UNSC meeting. Sachs is also a UN official and has regularly made claims that Zionists control the US government. The “Esther and Auschwitz” comment Sachs made were in reference to Danon’s UNSC speech, which made mention of Esther and Auschwitz in the context of needing to act before a genocide of the Jews takes place. Russia and China wanted Sachs to brief the council, but the UK rejected it.

Israel has revived the starvation siege.
World Central Kitchen head José Andrés confirms Israel has closed Gaza’s borders indefinitely and warns the NGO will run out of food this week. The group is currently cooking about 1 million hot meals a day.

🚨NEW: In 2006, Alito was asked if a president could invade Iran with no authorization - his answer & a John Roberts memo uncovered by @LeverNews suggest the court wants to kill the War Powers Act & legally enshrine presidents' power to launch wars with no congressional approval.

"That's the way it is." The Epstein Class sees America's working class sons and daughters as fully disposable. You don't see him sending Barron for this supposedly worthy cause.
Trump: Earlier today, CENTCOM shared the news that three U.S. military service members have been killed in action… And sadly, there will likely be more before it ends. That’s the way it is. Likely be more.

The BBC gives a leading headline to nine people killed in Israel, while the 148 children killed in Iran remain what they were yesterday, a second-order story lower down the page.

Jeffries, who held off a war powers resolution long enough for Trump go start the war before it came to a vote, does not condemn Trump’s attack in his initial response. The party leadership, as we reported last week, is eager to see Trump launch this war
NEW -- STATEMENT FROM HOUSE MINORITY LEADER @RepJeffries "The Trump administration must explain itself to the American people and Congress immediately, provide an ironclad justification for this act of war, clearly define the national security objective and articulate a plan to avoid another costly, prolonged military quagmire in the Middle East."

68,000 Americans die a year because they can’t afford healthcare. If 68,000 Americans were killed by a foreign country we’d spend an unlimited sum of money in response. Instead, Trump threw 15 million off healthcare causing another 51,000 to die & is now bombing Iran. Obscene.

In 2021, Israel completed a 10-yr construction project called "Fortress of Zion," a new military HQ "beneath Tel Aviv," whose metropolitan area is home to half the population of Israel. Israel uses 50% of its civilian population as a gigantic human shield. nytimes.com/2021/05/22/world…

The two blood stained foreign governments that have pumped billions into Trump Inc networks through US cutouts (Adelson, Singer) and direct corruption channels (World Liberty Financial) rented out the US military from Trump for a regional war But Saudi is basically window dressing here
NEW: Behind the scenes, a lobbying alliance of Saudi Arabia's MBS and Israel's Netanyahu urged Trump to level a major strike against Iran in the days before the president's decision (even as as Riyadh publicly advocated for diplomacy) washingtonpost.com/politics/…

Tulsi, RFK and JD Vance are the most shamelessly vapid and empty careerist freaks of all time. Defining themselves as anti-war then supporting a genocidal pedophile imperialist warmonger with a crusading bloodlust. Special place in hell for them.

Is there anyone still confused why Trump's band of Israel First billionaires -- led by Miriam Adelson, whom Trump himself said prioritizes Israel over the US -- is pouring tens of millions into a Kentucky Congressional district to remove @RepThomasMassie from Congress?🇮🇱
I am opposed to this War. This is not “America First.” When Congress reconvenes, I will work with @RepRoKhanna to force a Congressional vote on war with Iran. The Constitution requires a vote, and your Representative needs to be on record as opposing or supporting this war.
