One obvious question: Why didn't Jeffries whip his caucus on this? He didn't unify his own damn members to protect his own damn caucus. He could have stopped this if he wanted - this is him sending a message to Dems: don't upset the apple cart.

‼️ 🇺🇦 Zelensky: Ukraine is fighting for normal and safe life it deserves, for a peace that is just and reliable. We want this war to end. But Russia does not want it: over the past week, 1,050 drones, 1,300 aerial bombs and 20 missiles have been launched at Ukraine to destroy cities and kill people.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Congress, do your fucking job.
Trump is not the head of a Unitary Executive. He is the head of one of 3 coequal branches. If you don't exercise your constitutional obligation to hold him in check, then what the hell are you there for?

I’m sure there’s a very good reason why @housedemocrats.bsky.social haven’t bothered to post anything whatsoever on Bluesky. Anyone want to guess why House Democrats have made no effort to reach out to the 31 million users on this platform? 🤷🏼‍♂️
