Blue Georgia

John Oliver with a warning: It is important to remember who JD Vance actually is. Much of his career has been bankrolled by tech billionaires. Vance is easy to write off as a charisma-less asshole, but scratch even one inch under the surface, and you'll find something far worse: his batshit views.

@RMLevis He’s got my vote.

@BlueATLGeorgia Hear me out: Ossoff 2028.

Jen Psaki: The Department of Defense is asking for $200 billion in order to fight this war. Jon Ossoff: I suspect that a request for an open ended blank check for indefinite combat operations with no strings attached will fail even to attract Republican support in the United States Senate.

@marceelias Love it.

I told you that as soon as you sign it, Florida will be sued. That was three days ago. Still waiting for you to sign. Having second thoughts....👀

When you lose Lauren Boebert: I've already told leadership I am a no on any war supplemental. I am so tired of spending money elsewhere. I am tired of the industrial war complex getting all of our hard-earned tax dollars. I have folks in Colorado who can't afford to live.

23 years ago tonight, in an Oval Office address, George W. Bush announced the start of the Iraq War. 4,492 American service members were killed in the years that followed. 32,292 were wounded. At least 200,000 Iraqi civilians died. The humanitarian impact was immense. America wasted 9 years and 3 trillion dollars on a war that never should have happened—a war predicated on a lie, pushed by warmongering neocon politicians, and paid for by everyday people. Imagine what that $3 trillion could have bought here at home. Imagine the decade we could have spent focusing on America, our people, our place in the world. Imagine the lives our service members, stolen from us, would have lived. But instead, the president took us to war. Yet another costly quagmire in the Middle East. I voted against the Iraq War. I knew the White House would lie to Members of Congress and voters alike to manufacture the pretext for a conflict—and they did. Now, Iran is shaping up to be Iraq 2.0—new lies, new bloodthirsty politicians, still paid for by American families. Yesterday, we learned that Trump wants another $200 billion for his war. That's after Congress already gave the Pentagon more money than it even asked for in the budget. Enough is enough. It is not too late to learn from the past. Stop this madness. Bring our troops home. End this war.

@VetsForRL Will definitely be interesting to see how it plays out.

It’s a nice thought but that’s not how cults work.

@KentuckyKroge After committees review request, the House and Senate vote. Has to pass with 60 votes in latter (I think).

@BlueATLGeorgia What’s the approval process entail?

Jon Ossoff on Tulsi Gabbard's hearing: This is what I describe as their Dear Leader problem... Because the president is a pathological liar, our intelligence officials twist themselves into knots to try to avoid committing perjury before Congress and avoid ever contradicting this White House.

Jon Ossoff: The Danish government was preparing military options to defeat a potential American invasion of Greenland. The president has treated our allies like they don't matter... We are doing long-term damage to the alliance structure upon which we and the free world depend for our security.

Jon Ossoff on Trump potentially lifting sanctions on Iran: it is one of the ironies of this situation, that the high price of oil... has increased oil revenues to Iran, also to Russia. This is a huge boon for Vladimir Putin's treasury and therefore his war effort.

Jon Ossoff: Any time a president launches the country into war without clear objectives, without a stated plan... without any evidence of an imminent threat to our national security... before you know it, you're in much deeper than you ever planned.

Sec. 8(j)(2)(A), SAVE Act: Sen. Mike Lee says it ensures no American will be blocked from voting "if they can't find their documentation." But Lee's statement relies on a sworn statement – the same type of sworn statement the SAVE Act says we can't trust. Critical 2-min watch.

@marceelias They know it's not going to pass.

Am I the only one who thinks the GOP's push on the SAVE Act fizzled? I expected more from them. It turned out to be a big nothing. A very low energy affair.

@RepEspaillat Yep!

The SAVE Act is the real voter fraud.

Just one day. Can we just have one goddamn day when he doesn’t embarrass the fuck out of us all? Just one?

@PressSec Any updates?

CNN data guru reveals Trump’s base is expanding with 100% approval from MAGA Republicans nypost.com/2026/03/18/us-…

@EricTrump This was an embarrassing moment. Seriously, WTF is wrong with you and your family?

🤣🤣 One of the great responses to a reporter in history! JAPANESE REPORTER: Why didn't you tell Japan before the Iran war? PRESIDENT TRUMP: "Why didn't you tell ME about PEARL HARBOR?!" "You believe in surprise much more-so than US!"

Harry Enten: There's a better chance that I root for the New York Yankees than Donald Trump and the Republican Party winning. Trump’s approval rating on the cost of living is negative 41 points. A record low. Among independents, even worse at negative 60 points, also a record low. 71-point swing.
