GS: “Sen. Warner said you can’t argue drug trafficking charges demand invasion in one case while issuing a pardon in another…”🤔

@marcorubio: “Maduro was indicted.”

GS: “Hernandez was CONVICTED.”

RUBIO: “I wasn't involved in the pardon… I've got other things going on.” 🤷🏽‍♂️

Unconstitutional force. Civilians dead. Congress bypassed. Oil interests front and center.

We’ve seen this movie before and it ends in blood. But we don’t have to do it again.

We cannot let this president drag us into more endless wars that risk the lives of American service members and civilians abroad.

The attack last night on Venezuela was unnecessary and unauthorized. The President’s actions are reckless and illegal.

Happy New Year, friends! I have some ~personal news~, which is that the Bluesky team is generously giving me some contract work (which could possibly turn into a job) welcoming more indie media and local govt to Bsky and supporting those already here.

Excited to take my amateur Bsky boosterism pro!

PLEASE read this one. Kinda required reading. If you agree, which I hope you do, print in color and magnetically attach to your refrigerator. It is marvelous and very clear to all who visit: this is what we stand for. PERIOD.

Trump excels at generating buzz, but often sacrifices the seriousness of institutions, consensus, and long-term governance.
