In the US, we separate church and state, but as a Christian, I feel to need to speak up and denounce Trump and Hegseth’s exploitation of my religion for political gain.

The President is openly threatening genocide. A crime against humanity. He must be removed from office.
The 25th Amendment must be invoked. If not, Congress has to do our damn job. Speaker Johnson, call us into session. War powers & impeachment. Remove this man from office.
"Calm down. He won't be that bad."
"He won't go after political opponents."
"He won't try to overturn an election."
"He won't start a stupid, costly war."
"He won't purge the military."
"He won't use nukes." <--- We're currently here.
The President is threatening genocide and possible use of nuclear weapons against Iran.
It’s clear the President has continued to decline and is not fit to lead. The members of his Cabinet must invoke the 25th Amendment immediately.
😕
A $1.5 trillion defense budget.
At the same time they’re cutting funding for science, disaster relief, and public health.
They’re not choosing strength.
They’re choosing what matters, and it’s not you.
Every crisis becomes content.
Every decision becomes branding.
Every failure gets spun into “winning.”
At some point you have to ask:
Is anyone actually governing?
After taking over 330 youth to DC throughout the last half of my ministry, hearing now that tRUmp is having segments of U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum documentation removed is reprehensible. USHMM was our primary setting for our study yielding essential info. Now being ERASED by his minions.
My country is at war and instead of looking to my government for reliable information--because nothing my government is saying is reliable--I'm tracking betting market monitors who are highlighting unusually large bids likely being tipped, if not placed, by government officials.
We've observed the slow motion decay of the most basic democratic norms for decades despite attempts to address them. The lines of this incivility war are beyond rational thought. Sadly it requires good people like you Charlotte to keep your ear to the rail so we may stay informed & responsive. TY!
Oh.
So they want Obama’s nuclear deal minus Obama’s signature.
Got it.
“Friday’s press gaggle, barely exaggerated…” 🤷🏼

Big Money/Corporations in Politics...JUST SAY NO!
But NO! requires VOTES from ELECTED OFFICIALS!!!
Democrats have typically supported bills to get BIG MONEY OUT of politics. Time to make it LAW! BIG MONEY destroys the electoral process & the average American's ability to let his/her voice be heard.
“Vital Desalination Plants in Iran and Bahrain Are Attacked ***
Strikes on nonmilitary infrastructure were a “serious escalation,” analysts said, and could widen the war’s impact on civilians.” 3/8/26 Gift Link:
Russia is providing Iran intelligence to target U.S. forces. Not surprising. What IS surprising? Our response: easing oil sanctions on Russia.
Full breakdown on this and more from my Weekend Update on my Substack page: adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/weekend-vi...
That's all one needs to know. Christian Nationalism: a flagrant abuse of religion flying in the face of the First Amendment. We have witnessed rigid Fundamentalism morph during my 70yrs into something Reagan fused with Republicanism granting it power to impose itself on others politically. Travesty!
I was hoping for Rep. Crockett in this Senate race as she distinguished herself with intelligence, acumen, humor and being direct in her commentary that clearly dissected the issues and attitudes. I was hoping for her elevation to Senate after outstanding congressional representation.
Cruelty and violence is the Republican Way. Remember Trump's commentary giving license to police to "rough up" those opposing them during one of his rallies? Violence: A regular purposeful right wing talking/acting point!
I don't know why a Senator would insert himself in something like that, unless he literally wanted to push his way around. Now he'll probably be bragging to his friends that he broke the hand of a US Marine and that makes him really tough.
Imagine if Democrats had done this to a veteran....24/7 news and outrage on right-wing channels.
This is absolutely on point. The D's have been working the onslaught of injustice perpetrated by the R's tirelessly. D's are using the system loudly, lawfully & honorably to challenge and hold accountable. But the constant disingenuous "not enough" disinformation follows relentlessly.
All I can think about is Jeff Bezos saying that he slashed jobs at the Washington Post — including those of foreign correspondents in the Middle East — based on "the data," and a few weeks later a whole war breaks out in the Middle East that these laid off folks would have covered as true experts.
Trump is lying.
I serve on the Intel & Armed Services Committees.
There’s no intelligence that Iran posed an imminent threat to the U.S. or the American people.
But today the R's just say: "Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!"
Let this in. Half of 🇺🇸 struggles to pay rent, MUCH higher % for young people — average first home buyer is now 40 (!)
“housing market = wealth transfer mechanism from young renters to existing owners”
The system is rigged. We can’t go on like this.
Spanberger: "Trump continues to cede economic power and technological strength to Russia, bow down to China, bow down to a Russian dictator, and make plans for a war with Iran…Is the president working to keep Americans safe both at home and abroad? We all know the answer is no."
Judge Goodwin: "An anonymous government is no government at all. It cannot be held accountable. A masked agent freely uses force without justifying his actions, and the public cannot name him to challenge his conduct. A regime of secret policing has no place in our society."
Newsom: It’s the last stop. There’s no Board of Peace here. You can’t reestablish a new Supreme Court with a billion-dollar tithe and 27 of your friends from overseas. It’s time this guy starts to understand that he cannot operate as an imperial president — that he is subject to the rule of law.
