On the other hand, the rest of the front page is:
1) US kidnaps foreign ruler for (what is intended to be a) show trial
2) High officials plan to overthrow a different foreign government
3) Far right propaganda forces Dem governor to retire
4) HHS wants babies to catch hepatitis, meningitis

Even in @washingtonpost.com, the 5th anniversary of the assault on Washington has to claw its way onto a low corner of the front page. #memoryholed

Sliced my finger open chopping up broccoli, an activity that should not require a particularly sharp knife OR put your finger anywhere near the tip of it.
What's the most ridiculous way you ever hurt yourself? I got out of the tub, skidded in water and tripped over the toilet. Ankle sprain.

Anyone who believes in democracy needs to renounce Fetterman. And the Democratic Party needs to vet its candidates better.
Fetterman on Fox & Friends: "America is a force of good, order, and democracy. And we are promoting these kinds of values. We are the good guys."

At the risk of belaboring the obvious, she wasn't healthy! She had a fatal disease! She might have been healthy BEFORE she caught the fatal disease but that's not really material, is it?
What doesn't make sense is the insane anti-science wave that is sweeping our country. Read the article. She wasn't vaccinated. What a senseless, preventable tragedy.

Asked about the possibility of impeachment, Schumer says "we hope that we can have support from our Republican colleagues to put a brake on this long before it gets that far"

Once again, Congress has vigorously asserted itself in its official capacity to act as an elected suggestion box.
The majority isn't serving as a co-equal branch of government. It's just a 200-something-member presidential rewards card as those members each collect six-digit salaries for shrugging.

![Article I, Section 8, Clause 11:
[The Congress shall have Power . . . ] To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water; . . .
When the Constitution’s Framers gathered in Philadelphia to draft the Constitution, one of their principal objectives was to improve the United States’ ability to ensure its peace and security through military protection.1 In line with that aim, the Preamble makes securing the common defense one of the Constitution’s principle purposes,2 and the articles that follow allocate broad control over national security to the federal government while denying most war powers to the states.3
Although courts and commentators occasionally discuss the war power as if it were a unified authority,4 the Supreme Court has explained that the Constitution spells out the war powers not in a single, simple phrase, but in many broad, interrelated provisions.5 In Article I, the Constitution empowers Congress to provide for the common defense through a set of enumerated authorities concerning war and national security.6 Central among these powers is Clause 11 of Article I, Section 8, which authorizes Congress to declare war. Clause 11 also empowers Congress to issue letters of marque and reprisal, which are instruments that permit private citizens to capture or destroy enemy property, and permits Congress to authorize rules concerning captures of enemy property on land or at sea.7
Apart from Clause 11, other clauses in Article I, Section 8, grant Congress the power to define and punish offenses against the law of nations; raise and support armies; establish and maintain a navy; make rules for the armed forces; provide for calling forth the Militia; and provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia, and for governing the militia when in the service of the United States.8 General congressional authorities, such as the power over appropriations...](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:xyi5huvaxpmceuu2y6o6lrdk/bafkreibthulilobav2ef7zoxcpzj6gmacjamwnhhvep6q52egcj6mcbzii@jpeg)

I'm admittedly not great at keeping in contact with people. I found out at Christmas dinner with my family that my brother hasn't been talking to me for 2 years. I had no idea.

Made all the more absurd (and dumb) by the facts that (a) the US already produces more oil than it can use; and (b) Venezuela's oil is, to use a technical term, shitty
Kind of amazing how someone as dumb and unsophisticated as Trump is simply manages to perfectly crystalize US foreign policy this century. He's on Fox & Friends just straight up saying "yeah we're going to put our own guy in there and take the oil"

I'll spell it out: Offering that Maduro is bad but the strikes and kidnappings violated legal procedure, is discursively like closing the back door to Trump while opening the front door. You concede the moral case, and offer a legal one that nobody without a lanyard knows of or gives a shit about.
"Maduro was bad, but" shut the fuck up, you people will never learn.
