Innocent civilians are now dead because they were caught in the middle of an unnecessary and unwanted military tit for tat. My thoughts are with the families and loved ones of all 176 souls lost aboard this flight. https://twitter.com/CBSNews/status/1215319055147716609 …

  Hey Senator, there is agreement that Soleimani is a bad man. No argument. And the data suggests that the President made a hasty, ill-informed decision about him. Your tweet above is misleading, a distraction, and #reprehensible.

  Trump’s reckless flailing provoked more reckless flailing. The GOP’s decision to celebrate ineptitude over expertises makes America and the world less safe.

  US, without warning, kills a lawfully appointed Iranian general by shooting missiles into a different sovereign nation without warning. Iran retaliates by shooting missiles into that same country at a military base housing US soldiers Then this. Totally unrelated sure
