We are now at war with Iran

Put aside whether Trump conducting air strikes was legal or not

Because only Congress can declare war-as if the Constitution matters any more

This imprudent action against the world's foremost sponsor of terrorism will get Americans killed

How about some basic rules?
--All law enforcement officers should wear identification
--No law enforcement officers should be allowed masks
--All law enforcement officers should wear and use body cams
...oh and...
--All law enforcement officers should understand, respect & follow the law

Call me a radical, but I would rather keep programs like meals on wheels going rather than spending millions on a military parade for a draft dodging president.

I’m no lawyer, but if a president doesn’t support the Constitution, then maybe he should just run for mayor instead. We’ve got a country to run, not a guessing game about the rules. If a president’s not sure if he’s supposed to support it, maybe it’s time we put the ‘fine print’ in big bold letters.

Sending anyone from this country to a foreign gulag, particularly without a court hearing, should rightfully end a presidency. Full stop.

@gtconway.bsky.social is not backing down. If he has any fear of retribution, he’s not allowing it to shape his decisions or what he says. That’s incredibly important at this critical moment in history.

Paul Weiss isn’t made of the same stuff.

Hey. Here are the names of the unauthorized dudes who are creeping into government computers:

The engineers are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran.

A message to the US Senate: America is watching. Patel, Gabbard, and RFK are more than just unfit. They are a danger to our country, and to our people's safety. Use your vote to protect the people you represent. History will remember your choice.

It’s worth noting that the president of the United States today made more racist comments than we’ve seen any president make publicly in, what, a century? More publicly racist comments than many presidents who were, with history’s eye, virulently racist humans, but ones who at least knew their role.

Kash Patel’s hearing to be Trump’s FBI Director is coming up tomorrow.

He has a long history of spreading lies about the FBI and of smearing the public servants who work there to keep us safe.

The worst of all possible inaugurations
So a convicted felon, sex offender and insurrectionist is made President of the United States and his ketamine-soaked plutocrat sidekick, Musk, performs Nazi salutes at his inauguration.
Oh America, what the hell have you done? To yourselves and to the world?
A very dark age begins.

“Cowardice asks the question, ‘Is it safe?’ Expediency asks the question, ‘Is it politic?’ But conscience asks the question, ‘Is it right?’ And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular but because conscience tells one it is right.”
