It needs to be said clearly that it would be absolutely insane for the United States to start a war of aggression against Iran. If anyone thinks that Trump gives a rip about democracy or human rights you are kidding yourself. It’ll be another campaign of domination and plunder.

Trump officials say there's a 90% chance of strikes on Iran. He can’t without Congress. Rep. Thomas Massie & I have a War Powers Resolution to debate & vote on war before putting U.S. troops in harm’s way. I will make a motion to discharge to force a vote on it next week.

“Mr. Duvall’s singular trait was to immerse himself in roles so deeply that he seemed to almost disappear into them — an ability that was “uncanny, even creepy the first time” it was witnessed …” #RIP #RobertDuvall http://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/16/m…

Can’t be said lightly. Robert Duvall was a titan of movie actors. The Godfather, Apocalypse Now, Network, The Great Santini, Lonesome Dove… just a sampling of all the films he was in. Commanded the screen every time.

thinking about the conversation I had with Jesse Jackson in 2019: "The truth of slavery—that Africans subsidized America’s wealth—that truth will not go away. It’s buried right now, but as each generation becomes much more serious, it will be grappled with." http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc…

Even as Rev. Jesse Jackson has died, his afterlife has begun through us. Through our undying struggle against racism. Through our eternal organizing of rainbow coalitions against resurgent ethnostates. Through our everlasting striving to “Keep Hope Alive!” Rest peacefully, Rev. Jackson. 🕊️💔

"Our father was a servant leader — not only to our family, but to the oppressed, the voiceless, and the overlooked around the world," the Jackson family said in a statement. "We shared him with the world, and in return, the world became part of our extended family."Rest in peace#Pinks

BONDI: You didn't ask Merrick Garland anything about EpsteinBALINT: Weak sauce BONDI: And with this antisemitic culture right now, she voted against a resolution–BALINT: You want to go there! Really? Talking about antisemitism to a woman who lost her grandfather in the Holocaust! *storms off*

Pam Bondi has been a complete and total failure at her job. The Epstein survivors showed more courage just by being in that room than she did under oath. She refused to answer questions and chose complicity. America deserves better.

— Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett (@crockett.house.gov) 2026-02-11T21:14:29.447Z

holy shit — Bondi's new tactic is refusing to answer Democratic questions, then using time during the next Republican questioner to smear the previous Democratic member and accuse them of being complicit in violence crimes
