It's important to remember why this is true. The president's command of the armed forces comes only from the Constitution. He has no magical authority beyond it. And the Constitution also says that Congress has the power to "make rules for the government and regulation" of those armed forces. 1/1

A deal made over Ukraine — not with Ukraine — risks becoming another Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact. For Europe, this is a test of whether the rules-based order still means anything. For the United States, a test of credibility: will it pursue peace with Ukraine, or peace around Ukraine?

The reason we learned most X bots are Indian and Nigerian is not because Indians and Nigerians love impersonating Americans.
It's because India and Nigeria have the highest populations of native or near-native English speakers outside the U.S.
Russia and China know this. 🧵

If you want to conduct influence operations on Americans, "I love Donald, he is making for excellent work become great nation" doesn't work. It's also difficult to pay people for such work in the UK or Australia.
Russia has a growing relationship with India, however, as does China with Nigeria.

Earlier today I posted that I would give @RepMTG grace and would love to engage in conversation with her. With that said, my friend @libradunn1.bsky.social is absolutely correct. While at it, would love to further discuss Parkland with her and an apology for her behavior after the shooting.
