Trump on “Truth Social”: “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don't want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!”
Trump’s frenzied bloodlust must be stopped. Contact your elected officials and demand that they use every tool available to Congress to end the regime’s illegal war with Iran: act.indivisible.org/sign/no-iran...
Join us in making history on Saturday! This event is family friendly, so feel free to bring your kids as well.

Thank you to the organizers of today's wildly successful (and peaceful) "No Kings" rallies. You did an amazing job. And thanks to all the millions of people who showed up to give us faith. And a special shout out to the White House regime and the Speaker of the House for all the free publicity!
