I just keep going back to the amount of money spent on stuff like this, or on a war in Iran no one can coherently explain, by an administration that felt it was absolutely urgent we defund lifesaving medical care for infants in some of the rougher places in the world

The House GOP is in such bad legislative shape that Republicans have canceled all votes planned for today. DHS funding / Farm Bill / FISA still stuck without a clear path forward.

@mdubowitz Mark - in Gaza the destruction was systematic. Israel's minister of defense said it publicly. There was no differentiation. Privaye contractors were paid according to thevnumber of buildings they flattened. Same is happening now in southern Lebanon

Think we need to be honest about what we are seeing here. The Iranian government is still the same theocratic dictatorship and the Iranian people are in desperate straits after the US promised them liberation. The Iranians still control the Strait of Hormuz, still maintain their right to collect tolls, still have their nuclear program, and have Trump promising to return them $20 billion in frozen assets. The markets also have concluded that this is the end, Trump has thrown in the towel. A massive strategic failure by the USA.

Nobody in the "credentialed class" ever thought any American President could get the Strait of Hormuz opened. Dozens tried, yet they all failed: until now. Trump somehow did it. I never thought I'd live to see the day when the Strait of Hormuz was OPEN to movement of oil.
Mehek Cooke🇺🇸@MehekCooke

Every foreign policy genius who spent a decade collecting paychecks to tell us Iran was untouchable just watched a real estate developer from Queens reopen the waterway that moves a third of the world's oil. The credential class should be embarrassed into silence.

Really surprising to me that the GOP is planning to go through all of the pain of the budget reconciliation process *without even trying* to do anything about the cost of living — by far the top concern of voters.
Senator Ted Cruz@SenTedCruz

We shouldn’t miss this opportunity to go big on budget reconciliation. If we want to do something bold before November, we ought to do it now, or we’ll miss it altogether.

Statement from Dem Committee leaders Coons, Shaheen, Schumer, Reed, Schatz on Trump's Iran threat: “We speak today with one voice and one purpose: to condemn President Trump's threat to extinguish an entire civilization ... It’s unconscionable to threaten the lives of so many people – grandparents, children, families – simply because they were born in Iran"

Senator Mark Kelly@SenMarkKelly·
"A whole civilization will die tonight” are words no President of the United States had ever spoken until this morning. Donald Trump’s behavior is unhinged and making Americans less safe. After a 25-year career in the United States Navy, I have never met or served with anyone who so completely lacks the qualities of good leadership as Donald Trump does. If the President takes the actions he has threatened to take, countless Iranian civilians will die, it will massively escalate this war, and the United States will be seen as a country without a moral or ethical compass. That will make Americans less safe right now and risk the lives of thousands of service members. The consequences will have a lasting and damaging effect on our nation. Trump's mistakes have led us to this perilous moment, but the solution is not to escalate even further. This must stop.
