At a meeting about some terrible plans the @ctdot-official.bsky.social are proposing. And I'm deeply concerned at the number of things the DOT is admitting they don't know (along with their very liberal use of eminent domain).

Trump bombing Iran was illegal and unjustified.
I ran for Congress to make sure our leaders consider the true costs of war.

👇🎯🧵 It's maddening how easily & multi-dimensionally we, as a country, have simply accepted the fact that the rule of law no longer exists; almost no one who swore oaths on Bibles to preserve, protect, & defend the constitution seems to care; & the president can act like a Mad King without penalty 🤷♂️🤦♂️
Sure, I get that we've all decided we'd rather have TikTok.
But, the facts remain that Congress passed and the president signed a law; the Supreme Court upheld that law; and Trump just decided, "Whatever."
