BREAKING: Senate Republicans blocked my War Powers Resolution that would have ended Trump's unnecessary, unjustified war against Iran.

These cowards have had four chances to stop this chaos in the Middle East.

And they put Trump's ego before America.

Every damn time.

The Israeli Defense Forces have issued an evacuation order for Beirut's Jnah area, which includes two major referral hospitals; the Rafik Hariri University Hospital and Al Zahraa Hospital. At this time, no alternative medical facilities are available to receive approximately 450 patients from the two hospitals including 40 patients in the ICU), rendering their evacuation operationally unfeasible. Both facilities are operating at full capacity, including treating the injured from the strikes of 8 April. This zone also encompasses the @mophleb complex, and hosts five shelters accommodating more than 5000 people.
I urge Israel to reverse this order and ensure the protection of all health facilities, health workers, patients, and civilians.

We found that just 9 facilities of more than 200 accounted for half of the deaths that have taken place since Trump retook office.

And we built an interactive tool for you to learn more about individual cases -- I hope you'll give it a read!

For years, Jay Bhattacharya has been upset at the MMWR for publishing findings that run contrary to his predetermined conclusions (e.g., on immunity after covid vaccination) and his political agenda. Now he's in a position to prevent those findings from being published.

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 President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it.

This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.

Threatening war crimes is a blatant violation of our constitution and the Geneva Conventions.

In an age of creeping relativism, a universal moral law still exists.

Threatening to end an entire civilization of 90 million people in order to bend a nation’s conduct to your will is grossly morally wrong. It is evil. And we should say this loudly.

Spoke with President Trump. He told me the conflict should be over in days, not weeks but if no deal is made he’s blowing up the whole country with “very little” off the table. 

"If happens, it happens. And if it doesn't, we're blowing up the whole country,” he said.

I asked if there’s anything off limits.

“Very little,” he said.

Again, I don’t see how you can read this as anything other than Trump trying to normalize the idea of using nuclear weapons

If I were in Trump's Cabinet, I would spend Easter calling constitutional lawyers about the 25th Amendment.

This is completely, utterly unhinged. He's already killed thousands. He's going to kill thousands more.

This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.

But behind the scenes, Israeli officials have conveyed a more targeted message.

In private calls to local leaders across southern Lebanon, Israeli military officials have assured several Christian and Druse communities that they could remain in the evacuation zone. They have pressed them, however, to force out any Lebanese from neighboring Shiite Muslim communities who have sought refuge among them as Israeli bombardment flatten Shiite towns, according to local Christian, Druse and Shiite leaders who spoke to The New York Times. The Shiites make up the majority of southern Lebanon.

Think about this.

If the SAVE Act passes, your driver’s license won’t be enough to register in most states.

Even your Social Security number won’t be enough.

You’ll need your birth certificate or a passport just to register.
