Happy that the shooting has stopped, and that the US did not undertake a scorched earth campaign of war crimes.
But make no mistake: Iran has not only survived, but achieved strategic wins beyond their wildest dreams.
This dangerous humiliation is WHY Congress must debate war.

The president spoke for 19 minutes. During which the price of a barrel of oil went up another $4.00.

Himes: "This shows Steve Witkoff almost literally sitting side with the Russians on this ... it's unimaginable to consider the fact that you would propose a peace deal that the Ukrainians didn't even know about."
7/ These strikes might be fulfilling the macho MAGA warrior ethos, but at the end of the day they’re bad policies that weaken our ability to actually restrict the supply of narcotics in the United States.
6/ That kind of diplomatic damage is going to have an incalculable long-term impact on our ability to counter drug trafficking. But strengthening those partnerships doesn’t include explosions for Hegseth to brag about online, so I guess he doesn’t think it’s worth his time.
5/ We have many close partners in the region who work with us every day to stop narcotics flowing north. Colombia just recalled its ambassador from Washington due to escalating tensions around tariffs and these strikes.
4/ Setting aside the law, and assuming (generously) that the Admin is correct that these individuals are all trafficking drugs, there is still much more to be gained by interrogating them about their organizations and operations than by killing them.
3/ Instead, over the weekend the admin repatriated two survivors of a strike rather than risk litigating the legality of the attack. They were transferred so quickly, I doubt they were even questioned.
2/ Despite claims from the Administration, there is no legal authority for these strikes. The US can’t arbitrarily kill people on suspicion of crimes. If we have concrete evidence that there are drug traffickers on these boats, they should be arrested and tried in court.
1/ There have been at least seven strikes in the Caribbean against what the Administration calls ‘narco-terrorists.’ These killings are illegal and a terrible way to stop drugs entering our country. My thoughts:
The Comey indictment is one of the most sickening abuses of power in the history of the DOJ. Trump is using every tool available to get vengeance on his political rivals. It’s corruption plain and simple— our country deserves better.

Rep. Jim Himes: "Having the Defense Department kill alleged drug runners in the Caribbean is illegal...These folks are committing murder — murder defined as killing without a legal basis. I am mystified over why the rest of the chain of command is quite comfortable with it."

Himes: ABC took Jimmy Kimmel off the air because Brendan Carr, the chairman of the FCC, didn’t like some things Kimmel said..
I’m talking to you now because I’m just getting so damn sick of people who claim to be for free speech but turn out to only support free speech for people they agree with.
This is a lie. And if he's confused, the President should ask Secretary Rubio, who helped lead the bipartisan Senate investigation that unanimously concluded that there was no evidence of politicization in the intelligence community's behavior around the 2016 election.

You know what people are forgetting about this whole Epstein mess?
Trump and his acolytes are taking away healthcare from 17 million Americans.
Proud to be on the Floor standing with Leader Jeffries as he does all he can to explain this horrendous bill to the American people. He started talking in the dark of night when the GOP was hoping to pass it.
If this is such a Beautiful bill, why did Republicans in the House ranging from the most moderate (Fitzpatrick) to the cringiest conservative (Massie) just spend 14 hours straight trying to kill it?
The House is totally frozen right now.
Even Republicans know that adding $4 trillion to the national debt while kicking 17 million people off health insurance just to give tax breaks to rich people is
A BAD IDEA.
