That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.

Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they?

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

The polling this week is overwhelmingly clear: people are pissed about the economy, and Trump’s approval is tanking. If Dems want a blue wave in the midterms, we need to lay out a bold economic vision—rooted in populism, taking on greed and corruption, and delivering relief to the American people.

You can’t make this up:

A 155mm artillery shell prematurely detonated during a Marine Corps demo — raining shrapnel onto cops guarding VP JD Vance.

Trump’s team mocked Newsom for closing I-5 “for no reason.”

Turns out Newsom’s safety call may have just saved lives.

Competence vs chaos.

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Because this administration thinks everyone believes the rules only matter when it helps “your side” (like they do), they are counting on Comey’s unpopularity to normalize this.

Don’t let it. Whatever you think of him or his actions in the past, etc. this indictment is dangerous and an outrage.

just want to add that even if Tylenol did cause autism that wouldn't be a big deal because being autistic isn't a bad thing

Facts don’t lie: Autism was identified decades before Tylenol even existed. Enough with the distractions—it's time for real accountability. RELEASE the Epstein files. ✊

Netflix just gave Gavin Newsom 2 million for the redistricting fight and made a deal with Sesame Street. New episodes will air there and the backlog of old episodes will Be free to watch.

Netflix picked a side. I will keep my subscription.
