Why Strikes in Venezuela are unconstitutional and why that MATTERS 🧵

When the military is used for strikes, the American people get a say first through their representation in Congress.

Just woke up even angrier. Impeach, convict, remove. Draft articles now. Either we have a representative government or we don’t. Do not shut up about this until there’s a vote.

GOP Speaker Mike Johnson just sent the House home for the year without passing a ban on stock trading.

A ban on members of Congress cashing in on insider information has bipartisan support and is long overdue.

Let's get this done.

Based on recent history, speculate that if republicans control both houses of congress, and the presidency, and there was a shutdown, who is likely to be blamed, republicans or democrats?

Hi friends,
I’m working to get anonymous donations (dark money) and foreign money out of our elections. We the people should decide our elections, not elite interests and foreign billionaires.

It's not a duty of journalists to repeat the claims of proven liars and pretend those claims are credible. That's the job of propagandists and enablers.

I am very proud of the Army, I am embarrassed that they are being used to puff up the ego of their Commander in Chief.

Is Trump doing this for his own benefit? What does AI think?

Rate Trump's motivations on personal vs. democratic interest using most recent public polling of independents as indicator. 1: Solely personal, 5: Purely democratic; estimate reflects public perception of self-interest."

While Veterans lose care,
Trump rolls tanks through DC,
sends Marines to LA,
and fuels chaos to crush dissent.

This isn’t leadership.
It’s tyranny in plain sight.

Let’s get corrupting money out of politics.
Trump’s inaugural committee raked in $239 million — with billionaires and big corporations writing huge checks to cozy up to him ahead of his return to the White House.

If this isn’t a sign that money has way too much influence in our politics, then we don’t know what is!

"The core of the document is saying the king is a tyrant. The argument of the Declaration is that the king was depriving the colonists of their rights. Some of those rights perhaps haven’t resonated w/Americans before now, like depriving them of trials or making them have trials far away from home."
The Declaration of Independence's warning for Trump
"The king violated their rights time and time again, and he basically 'un-kinged' himself."
