The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

Sanctuary, Supremacy, History, and the Deep Country

Valuable thread on GOP House meltdown, by serving Dem representative @seancasten.bsky.social Worth reading whole thread.
(He coined the term 'cowards, led by morons,' about previous GOP circuar-firing-squad antics.)

Brief thread on how we got here: Since the GOP won control of the House 2 years ago they have not passed a single appropriations package into law. Government has operated at funding levels set by Dems 2 years ago via continuing resolutions every few months. This is not normal.
