CNBC: "President Trump has threatened to destroy a civilization. How does an investor process that? Is it a bigger upside risk or downside risk?" What stage of corporate media is this? (h/t @paleofuture)

We wouldn't be here if this congressman had called his War Powers Resolution to the floor two weeks ago rather than randomly granting Trump a 60-day extension on his illegal war. The votes were there.
Rep. Gregory Meeks@RepGregoryMeeks

Congress—regardless of party—has a duty to hold the president accountable. 

Yet, Republicans remain silent on war, on dead American citizens, on rising costs, and on historic cuts to health care and SNAP. Is this what “Make America Great Again” meant?

@ChrisMurphyCT Seems fine. They clearly need a deterrent with Israel starting so many wars.

Iran says the U.S. has agreed to their 10 point plan, which gives them control of the Strait, lets them keep their nuclear program and also their missiles, and drops sanctions against Iran. If this isn't true - and let's hope it's not - it is proof that there is indeed no deal.
Faytuks News@Faytuks

Iran's Supreme National Security Council calls this a "crushing defeat" for the US, saying that they've been forced to accept their 10-point plan. Iran claims the US has agreed to continued Iranian control of the Strait of Hormuz

I’m glad there is a reported ceasefire deal with Iran. But we shouldn’t be in this illegal war in the first place. And Donald Trump can’t simply threaten war crimes with impunity. Congress needs to get back in session now to stop this war and remove Donald Trump.

@MarkWarner House Democrats repeatedly delayed forcing a war powers vote and Schumer repeatedly goaded Trump into attacking Iran. You're just lying now.

Democrats are fighting to rein in this completely out-of-control, costly, devastating war in the Middle East. When will Republicans do the bare minimum and join us?

@Kalestine It's a bipartisan problem. Biden and Harris set the table, and now Trump and Bibi are feasting. If Dems really believed in their messaging, then this wouldn't have happened.

Brief recap: Dem leadership delayed a war powers vote until after the war started, then pushed the next potential vote to mid-April. Schumer literally led a pressure campaign pushing Trump to bomb Iran last summer
Sahil Kapur@sahilkapur

House Democratic leaders' joint statement on Trump "threatening to eradicate an entire civilization": "The House must come back into session immediately and vote to end this reckless war of choice in the Middle East before Donald Trump plunges our country into World War III."

We didn't have to be here of course. All Biden/Harris had to do was stop supporting a genocide. Most people would do that out of sheer decency. Biden/Harris could have done it and got to keep the White House! A moral failure we are still learning the depths of every day.

@RepDonBeyer It would be much easier to take you seriously if Jeffries hadn't actively stalled efforts to stop the war before it began

My Republican colleagues in Congress continue to abdicate their duty and turn a blind eye as the President makes unhinged threats to obliterate an entire civilization in clear violation of basic human decency and American ideals. This is a moral failure and cowardice of the highest order. 1/

My Republican colleagues are turning a blind eye as the President escalates unhinged threats to obliterate an entire civilization. A moral failure and cowardice of the highest order. Speaker Johnson must bring the House back to stop this blatantly illegal, immoral threat.

Everything indicates that Barak Ravid is the journalist chosen by the U.S. government to release information designed to contain or temporarily mislead the markets for only a few business days, fully aligned with the White House’s messaging. That’s why we will avoid citing Axios publications until the end of the war.

@brianschatz Brian can you give specific dates when it’s ok to criticize Democrats for failing at their primary reason for existing which is preventing ascendant fascism? Last Oct you said that wasnt a good time so I’m curious. This isn’t sarcasm, I’d like an actual date so we can circle back

a MAJORITY of Democrats in the House & Senate voted to give Trump nearly a trillion dollars for war in 2026 …now we’re supposed to act like this party isn’t a willing partner in ruinous US foreign policy, but rather a bulwark against war? Gonna take more than some angry tweets!

One problem for Democrats is that left-wing people pretend they aren’t doing stuff that they are in fact doing in order to further fuel the flames of anti-establishment sentiment.

Can't tell you how many members of Congress who *at best* had nothing to say when I asked about the Minab girls school attack. There is a profanely cold detachment inside Capitol Hill, a mode completely unrecognizable to common human decency I wish I could properly convey to you.
Prem Thakker@prem_thakker

The world not screeching to a halt when the US killed more than 100 little school girls on the very first day of this "liberating war" led us exactly to this moment
