“I’m going to do whatever I can to make sure you don’t get a single inch closer to power.” Saagar Enjeti says people around Trump not speaking out against the war with Iran should never hold political office again. “This is sick.” “This is the world on a precipice of disaster, potential nuclear weapons use.” “These motherfu**ers are sitting in their offices thinking about running for office.” “I'm nobody, but maybe enough people together will be something.” @esaagar @ryangrim

I’m not at all surprised that the House and Senate — controlled by the presidents party — are out of session. I am a bit surprised that Democrats haven’t returned to Washington to highlight that the GOP is on recess with DHS closed and the nation on the brink of war.

The White House is proposing firing 9,400 TSA agents. Trump's budget proposal aims to cut $1.5 billion from TSA, and remove over 15% of the agency's workers. This is separate from the ongoing DHS shutdown, and critics warn that the long-term Republican plan is to privatize TSA.

Just a few months ago, @ezraklein called on Democrats to abandon reproductive rights, @mattyglesias called for Democrats to join Republicans in bullying trans kids, and many more in the Vox/Faux DC Centrism orbit called on Democrats to acquiesce in Trump's mass deportation schemes in order to "do what's popular" and "win elections." Following these recommendations would certainly have made the Democratic Party “a little more hateful, a little more misogynistic, a little more vulgar, and a little dumber” — but no one who has clutched their pearls over Hasan Piker in the last two weeks ever voiced any concerns about these leading lights of DC centrism when they pushed these reactionary positions. What gives? Considering @hasanthehun has never pushed the Democratic Party to adopt such wacko positions, he seems much better than Ezra Klein, Yglesias, and other Faux DC Centrists at keeping the Democratic Party "on the right side of history." I mean, if we win by throwing people under the bus as recommended by these amoral think-piece writers, would it even be worth it? What kind of victory would that even be?

.@monacharen: Even if it were true that Dems would profit electorally by becoming a little more hateful, a little more misogynistic, a little friendlier to America’s authoritarian antagonists, a little more vulgar, and a little dumber—is it worth it? What kind of victory is that?

We need to invoke the 25th Amendment and remove Trump. Threatening war crimes is a blatant violation of our constitution and the Geneva Conventions.

Madman Theory? Trump got summits with “little rocket man” Kim Jong Un last time around, but never in all my years reporting America at war have I heard anything like this: an American president threatens to destroy a “whole civilization” and says it’ll take 100 years to rebuild. Striking Tehran’s Grand Bazaar, Israel warning people to avoid trains and stations, Trump threatening whole power grids, desalination plants, the nation’s bridges… Is this war still against the Iranian regime or now against a whole people?

I feel sick to my stomach waiting around today to see what atrocity Trump has in mind for the people of Iran this evening. It's hard to fathom that our other elected leaders aren't able to check him in any meaningful way. It's really an indictment not just of the electorate but of our whole system of government. We're ruled by a mad king.

Trump believes he is threatening Iran with destruction, but it is America that now stands in danger. If he attempts to eradicate Iranian civilization, the United States will no longer be viewed as a stabilizing force in the world, but as an agent of chaos—effectively ending our status as the world’s greatest superpower. This would upend our economy and shatter the global order. The process is already underway, yet we still have time to avert catastrophe if Trump finds the courage to pursue serious negotiations rather than reckless rage and destruction.

“A whole civilization will die tonight.” @johnthune Senator Thune: Are you serious right now? Are you not going to denounce this? Are you not going to seek the removal of this crazy person? This is your responsibility that is what Article I of the Constitution is about.
