CNN compilation of Trump repeatedly saying the war in Iran will end "pretty soon." If this were only a comedy skit, it might be humorous. As it is, this is tragic.

Democracy Docket is not sponsoring a party to celebrate Donald Trump. It won't send people to a dinner in his honor.

When you learned about the Iran hostage crisis, did they teach you this part?

In November 1979, during the crisis, Black hostages and women were released first.

Ruhollah Khomeini said they were oppressed in the United States and not part of the power structure, so they weren’t seen as spies.

Rep. Analilia Mejia didn’t come to play.

She went back to the Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871.

Then brought it straight to now.

“Stand up, defend, restore not only our democracy but also a just economy that actually works for working people.”

Democrats rally national firepower in final push for ‘yes’ vote on Virginia redistricting referendum Democrats framed next Tuesday's vote as a decisive stand against Republican gerrymanders pushed by President Donald Trump.

TOMORROW: Virginians will decide whether to approve a redistricting plan that could hand Democrats four more seats in Congress in 2026.

At stake in this months-long battle? Control of the U.S. House, the ability to check Trump and a broader fight against GOP map-drawing in battleground states.

This is Trump's Vietnam.
Bone spurs won't save him this time.

The Iranian government’s depiction of LEGO Kash Patel is lit.

House Judiciary Democrats are teasing an investigation into FBI Director Kash Patel and The Atlantic's reporting on his alleged intoxication.

People fired so far from Trump's across-the-board incompetent Cabinet:

Women: 3

Men: ZERO

Can't imagine why people say Trump hates women.

It's official: The House has sworn in Democratic Rep. Analilia Mejia.

A deal to end the Iran war seemed close. Then Trump started posting on social media | CNN Politics As the weekend approached, the US and Iran appeared to be closing in on a deal to end the seven-week war.

Dr Deal can't even get as good an agreement as Obama & allies negotiated. You know, the one he ripped up.
And Hormuz was never a problem under Obama's agreement.

You Won’t Believe It But There’s Good Reason to Let Trump Tear Up D.C. If the President is busy picking out gold leaf and Corinthian columns, he has a lot less time to tank the economy with more tariffs.

Jeffries: "Republicans have spent tens of million trying to convince the people of Virginia that President Obama and Gov. Spanberger are urging a 'no' vote. That's a stone cold lie. The 'no' vote position is Donald Trump's position, as is being evidenced tonight. He's been trying to hide it."

Can you imagine what the after-hours WH parties are like with Trump's crew?
