To my Republican colleagues: ENOUGH. It's time for the Senate to vote to block these tariffs and to block the use of military force against Greenland.

Trump is tearing apart our alliances in real time and the economic & diplomatic consequences will be catastrophic.

Donald Trump is reshaping the world. And within this new global order, EU leaders should heed their voters and ensure the bloc remains a pole within its own sphere of influence.

Not a bystander in someone else’s.

So in Virginia, Dems are rightfully gonna attempt to basically completely gerrymander congressional republicans out of congress. Our two Senators, Tim Kaine and Mark Warner have been advocating for a more moderate gerrymander.

This is how one of the key VA state Democrats responded.

An American Economic Boycott is the best way to bring our government and corporations to its knees. Only buy necessities to survive and nothing else.

Do not donate any money to politicians who are not willing to speak up and change the system.

Stop feeding the economic engine of the US!

It is, unfortunately, time to re-up my April 2025 post on the Insurrection Act and the broader history of domestic uses of the military for law enforcement purposes:

142. Five Questions About Domestic Use of the Military
