AOC to @pabloreports.bsky.social: It is the responsibility of Congress to declare and authorize the use of military force. Congress has not authorized a military use of force. There has not been a case made, and I think the absence of one really speaks volumes.

The WH is up to their usual tricks to try to deal w their latest drama:
'It's a hit piece!' 'It's out of context!' '...blah, blah, blah' & of course, some of the Liar-in-Chief's greatest hits.

The reporter?
'I have everything on tape'
'None of what I reported has been disputed.'

Your move, liars.

Rachel Maddow: "The Trump meme coin has lost 88% of its value, and Melania Trump’s meme coin suffered even steeper losses. Today it’s worth just 11 cents, which means anyone who bought at the top and held on has lost 99% of their investment."

We kept seeing people say Trump would start a war right before the Epstein release deadline. Looks like you were right, this sure looks like Trump declaring war on Venezuela on social media, without congressional approval.

The unemployment rate is now up to 4.6%—the highest since the economy was emerging from the pandemic.

700,000 more people are unemployed now versus a year ago. Wages grew the slowest since before the pandemic.

High prices. Rising unemployment. This is Trump’s economy.

1. A blockade is an act of war

2. The idea that Venezuela has stolen land from the United States is so laughably stupid on its face that even some of his base is like 🤨

3. It’s always about oil.

I was one of those people who thought sadism, sociopathy and utter inhumanity would be disqualifying characteristics for election to the nation's highest office. I still believe the expanding expression of those characteristics should be disqualifying to continue in the nation's highest office.

He'll start a war to:

1. Distract from the Epstein Files
2. Steal oil
3. Justify emergency powers
4. Justify use of the AEA for deportation/internment
5. Help the drug lord he just pardoned
