Democracy just cannot flourish amid fear. Liberty cannot bloom amid hate. Justice cannot take root amid rage. America must get to work. •Thurgood_Marshall

I was part of 3-person CNN team that went with the Marines into Beirut to evacuate thousands of US civilians as bombing was underway. US embassy folks remained on duty and even went around town to pick folks up. Heavily armed Helo teams and Navy Seal boats provided us protection.

Today, twitter/X and other social media platforms have been flooded with footage of another return of our Ukrainian soldiers from russian captivity. I want to show the other side of these events – the one where people stand with photographs, hoping that one of the returning

This is completely insane. Polymarket is now taking bets on when nuclear strikes might happen, just days after hundreds of millions were wagered on the U.S. attack itself. Let’s be clear: gambling on nuclear war or military operations where American service members’ lives are

Trump has to give the people he fires another job (and privately assure them they’ll still be in on the grift) so they don’t turn on him and spill the beans on all the corruption and illegality they’ve seen.

Dan Rather is correct and has been around long enough to know! How far America has fallen under one lying, corrupt, grifting narcissist and sociopath. 😢

Pete Hegseth is emotionally ill-equipped to serve as SecDef. It is clear why his service in the National Guard was terminated.

This war is costing a billion dollars a day. In one fucking month we will spend more over there than we needed to save healthcare for more than 2 million Americans. They literally are taking away your food and your healthcare for this regime change war of choice.

McGovern: Republicans can't answer because they were against war with Iran until exactly the second Donald Trump decided to go to war, and now they're all running around sounding like neocon lunatics. America can't take this level of gaslighting. I went to the classified

Donald Trump is seeking to collect massive amounts of information at an unprecedented scale. He is trying to pressure AI companies into allowing unrestricted use of their powerful tools against American citizens.

Massie: Some told us this war was about nuclear weapons. But six months ago, we were assured our last strike on Iran decimated their nuclear program. So which is it? I think the most candid answer came from the secretary of state, who told the press that Israel forced our hand

Last Friday, a handful of people made big, unusual $100,000+ bets on Polymarket - that the U.S. would strike Iran the next day. The Iran War is fueling a new kind of corruption: White House officials secretly profiting off war. It's disgusting. We need to ban it.

Raskin: I heard one of our colleagues across the aisle just say, “Well, yes, Article I, Section 8, Clause 11 does give Congress the exclusive, plenary, comprehensive power to declare war and not the president. And we could be debating it, but the president has already taken us to
