Saturday Night War Porn

June 26, 2025 • MOMocrats • Season 13 • Episode 22

Saturday night was interrupted by the Trump regime announcing that the United States had answered Israel's pleas by sending American pilots to drop 14 "bunker buster" bombs on Iranian targets. If you're getting flashbacks of Iraq in 2003, you're not alone. After all, this is yet another unconstitutional, undeclared war based on - as independent journalist Judd Legum puts it - "manipulated events."

And the legacy media is lapping it up. Karoli calls it "war porn," and that's pretty much all we're getting from cable news - while troops are still stationed in Los Angeles, DHS is sending armies of masked secret police around the country to abduct and imprison hard-working, tax-paying residents for the crime of being brown, we're still under threat of losing Medicaid, SNAP, and any semblance of a strong economy... and Trump is setting up one of his most craven cronies to be in line for a nomination to the Supreme Court.

It's a lot. MOMocrats Karoli, Aliza Worthington, and Donna Schwartz Mills discuss.
