We have a president who took the nation into a war for reasons he cannot fully articulate, without a strategy for how to respond if Iran did the expected and closed the Strait of Hormuz, and without an exit strategy if Iran doesn’t surrender.

Reminder that Congress can step up and stop this.

Morning! xx

Stunning reporting here that shows U.S. troops were left exposed in a known target zone with virtually no drone defenses. Now the soldiers themselves are calling out the Pentagon’s version of events as false.

Hegseth and Trump keep lying to the American people about this war.

🚨URGENT on Euth List!

This is simply genocidal language and is a horror in itself.

Speaker Johnson, we are calling on you to bring the House back to DC IMMEDIATELY!

The Cabinet needs to invoke the 25th Amendment. But Congress can’t just sit on its hands and wait for that to happen when the President is threatening to commit war crimes TONIGHT.

The right doesn't seem very happy with one another lately.

Iran vows to escalate war, yet we are the ones paying the bill. Seeing oil hit $110 is frustrating. Every price hike eats into our quality of life. We don't want grand victories; we just want peace and affordable living. This cost is becoming far too heavy for us to bear

Oil is spiking and so are fares, but the urge to travel is winning. Delta’s boost is fueled by our wallets. While recovery is good, watching corporate profits soar while my travel budget shrinks is bittersweet. We're paying for this "optimism" out of pocket

What a nice view!❤️

Strength shouldn't need a war to prove it. This shift toward militarism feels like a mask for decline, not a sign of power. Real leadership is about values, not coercion. We’re at a crossroads where more force might just mean losing our way. We need wisdom, not just a heavier fist

Buttigieg: "We lived through a war that was sold to us on false pretenses when I was younger. This war has not been sold on any pretense. The president just went ahead and did it."

Now read it again.
Now read it again.

You are not alarmed enough.
It is later than you think. 🇺🇸

If we made the green energy transition this war would be unthinkable and these authoritarians wouldn’t be in power — not in the US, not in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia, not in Russia. Hydrocarbons are killing our freedom and just plain killing us.

Last week: “We don’t need your stupid aircraft carrier, UK!!!!”

Today: “Hopefully, the UK will send an aircraft carrier to the Strait of Hormuz!!!”

What a fool.

We can't afford $15 for workers but have millions for CEOs? That corporate logic is pure hypocrisy. It’s never a lack of money; it’s a lack of respect for the people doing the work. This twisted priority is the root of inequality. I’m so over this double standard

Seeing a library tech lose her job due to fiscal mess is heartbreaking. While politicians waste billions, our kids lose their books. A childhood without a library isn't a future, it's a tragedy. We are mortgaging our kids' tomorrow for their failures. Enough

Dozens of U.S. service members in Kuwait suffered serious injuries, including burns, brain trauma and shrapnel wounds, sources say About 30 U.S. service members remained hospitalized Tuesday after an Iranian drone strike in Kuwait.

NEW: The Iranian drone strike that killed 6 U.S. troops in Kuwait at the start of the war was far more devastating than previously disclosed.

Drones merging with golf courses? That logic is definitely a "family specialty" are they planning to remote deliver clubs to the 18th hole? At my age, you realize "tech innovation" somehow always loops back to the family backyard

It was going on one, two in the morning, and we were shooting what I felt was an important scene for me, when he makes an attempt to be quote-unquote straight, in a suit, and at the end of it he gets emotional and locks himself in the other room. And I felt like, I’m not getting what I want—I’m not happy with it. Mike was happy with it. He called me the next day and said, “I know you weren’t happy with the scene last night. Believe me, we wouldn’t have gone home if I had felt we weren’t getting it.” And then he sort of became my psychiatrist and said, “You find it difficult to be happy, don’t you? You find it difficult to enjoy things.” And I said, “Well, sometimes. Last night was about feeling too tired and not feeling I was reaching what I needed to reach for the scene.” He talked to me then about when he was making, I don’t know whether it was Virginia Woolf or The Graduate. He said, “I didn’t enjoy it for a second. I was worried about so many things.” And then he said, “You know, this is never going to happen again quite this way. You should try to allow yourself to enjoy this more. Take a minute a day, and then add a minute the next day, and another minute. Pretty soon, you’ll have hours of happiness.”

The Birdcage opened thirty years ago today, so in its honor, I want to share one of my favorite stories about Mike Nichols that didn't make it into my biography. This is from an interview I did with Nathan Lane.
