If we had a citizen held hostage by another country, we’d be looking into Special Ops extractions and prisoner trades. How’s this different for someone ineptly/mistakenly sent to El Salvador?

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN.

☎️: (202) 224-3121

Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid.

The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING.

Call retiring Senators too!

U.S. Embassies Halt Air Quality Monitoring Abroad Since 2008, embassies and other diplomatic posts had been publishing data about local air quality. In many countries, it was the only reliable source of such information.

This sucks, as it’s in support of US folks deciding whether it’s safe to work in an embassy/area abroad, and pushing back against misinformation.

Andy Borowitz on Substack Accurate

Trump Vows to End Paper Straws Initiative and Bring Back Plastic The move would run counter to a Biden administration push to cut back on single-use plastic, which was considered a milestone.

This was probably intended to trigger Democrats and be a distraction, but it just seems like what a dumb-ass would do.

“Supreme Court to Hear Oklahoma Religious Charter School Case”

I guess they figure it’s bargain time, since I can’t imagine having a lower opinion of their decision making right now

From www.senate.gov/about/powers...:

"The United States Constitution provides that the president "shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two-thirds of the Senators present concur" (Article II, section 2). [...]"

From en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_...
"The Paris Agreement is broadly popular among Americans. A national poll by the Chicago Council on Global Affairs conducted in June 2016 found that 71 percent of American adults favored U.S. participation in the Paris Agreement."

I did a really meager amount of research on this, but if it’s true that 70% of our populace favors participation in the Paris climate accord, could we possibly force that through the Senate? It appears like 2/3 of the Senate needs to favor treaty decisions to support the executive branch.
