Today, more than 80% of the Democratic caucus stood with the American people and voted to block U.S. military aid to Netanyahu and his horrific, illegal wars.

For Netanyahu, the war in Gaza was not enough. Iran was not enough. He is now waging a full-blown war of expansion in Lebanon.

The time is long overdue for Congress to listen to the American people and end U.S. military aid to the extremist Israeli government.

So pro-life means jailing women who miscarry but shrugging when the deranged president says “a whole civilization will die tonight.” Do I have that right?

We're told we need to give corporations tax breaks so they can "create jobs."

But Meta paid an effective federal income tax rate of 3.5% last year—its lowest since 2012.

And last month, reports came out that Meta is considering laying off up to 20% of its workforce.

Scam.

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...

Secret Election Funders (via NYT) U.S. politics has seen a stunning increase in dark money donations, undermining promises from the Supreme Court.

i’m so old i remember when obama called out SCOTUS for citizens united during a SOTU, predicting this would happen, and alito shook his head and said “that’s not true”

Jeff Bezos has $222 billion.

If he paid my wealth tax this year, we could fund insulin in America for everyone who needs it plus free school lunch for every kid in Texas—and have plenty of money left over.

And Bezos would still have $215 billion dollars to spare.

Trump has been in power for 2% of our nation's history but is responsible for 25% of our debt.

It's almost like he's bad at business.

Well, well…

Still wondering if inequality is out of control?

The fact that military officials can’t give the President of the United States an honest assessment of the war in Iran—and have to placate him by showing him videos of stuff blowing up—should be concerning to everyone.

The U.S. Said It Helped Bomb a Drug Camp. It Was a Dairy Farm.

Pete Hegseth called them “narco terrorists” and the official statement from the Trump administration called it a training camp for drug traffickers.

It was a dairy farm. They murdered Ecuadorian farmers. With our money.
