The War Powers Resolution of 1973 clearly states that the President may not send troops into hostilities or imminent hostilities without:

- a declaration of war
- specific congressional authorization
- an attack on the United States

And that the President must consult with Congress first.

So the Convicted FElon issued his first veto for a water pipeline for Everglades & respect the rights of Native Americans.
He doesn't care about protecting land or the Native Americans who live there.

Trump-Musk defunded USAID. As of Nov 2025, this caused as many as 600,000 deaths – 342, 000 of them children (Boston Univ). If USAID or some type of equivalence is not reestablished, by 2030 the death-toll will be 14 million – 4.5 million of them children under 5 yrs old (Lancet).

This is Genocide.

One way to quantify the GOP's attack on free and fair elections:

My law firm is litigating 78 voting and election cases in 39 states. This is, by far, the largest caseload we have carried in a non-election year and close to our peak in 2024. The question is how many more can a small firm handle.

We had congressional hearings when parents just suspected heavy metal was leading some kids to suicide.
i don’t see how any of the benefits of chatgpt and other consumer-facing LLMs can possibly outweigh their incredible ability to induce suicides

A nice thread in which an actual expert patiently explains why the Secretary of Health and Human Service is not simply a liar, but an especially stupid one.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has stated that the 1918 flu pandemic was caused by a lab virus from vaccine research, a defective influenza vaccine. Let’s analyze what a lie this is. First, in 1918, 107 years ago, virology was in its infancy
