The Congressional Budget Office evaluates legislative bills for costs and logic. I have trust in their nonpartisan analysis of every one I’ve read. This is no exception:

The U.S. Constitution is clear: the authority to declare war sits solely with Congress. President Trump may not declare war or engage in offensive military action without the explicit consent of the United States House of Representatives and Senate.

Reminder to ICE: Do not lay hands on American citizens. Video, photos, and personal information have been recorded. Actions have consequences. If you have information to share, email report@ourparks.org. Your safety is our top priority, never forget that.

Imagine a world where you take polygraph tests if you work for the government helping citizens get mail or social security, or safeguard medical records and/or bank records …
The Trump administration is escalating efforts to suppress internal dissent and tighten control over information. A new wave of polygraphs is underway, targeting individuals suspected of leaking or resisting from within. Internal guidance has been distributed. Please 🙏 read and follow!

The National Security Council, established in 2947, has played a vital role in our role in the world. Trump only attended a few of their briefings. Now look at his most recent move …
Scores of staffers at the White House National Security Council have been abruptly dismissed as part of a sweeping overhaul that slashes the staff from over 300 to just 50. The move shifts the NSC’s role from policymaking to simply carrying out the president’s directives.

Brilliant idea! Next they’ll invent seatbelts and call them “freedom straps.”

Welcome to “Making America Great Again”
ICE has begun raiding the homes of American citizens. A widely shared story out of Oklahoma describes a disturbing incident where a woman and her children were dragged into their yard half-naked. Reports are mounting across multiple states of agents targeting the wrong properties.

Wow so the people of Lithuania gathered to mourn and pay their respects to the 4 American soldiers that tragically died there during training…this is what allies do 🫡….meanwhile Trump skipped the dignified transfer at Dover Air Force Base to play golf in Miami with Saudis

Tell me again about the use of a personal server by Clinton being such a monumental security breech.
The incompetence of this Administration never ceases to amaze. Waltz and other NSC members used Gmail to conduct official government business, with Waltz’s staff even sharing information about sensitive military positions and advanced weapon systems tied to an ongoing conflict.
