He did not have congressional approval to blow up boats in the Caribbean

He did not have congressional approval to kill the survivors of those strikes

He did not have congressional approval to invade Venezuela

He did not have congressional approval to bomb Iran

This is dictatorship. Impeach now

This is an unjust, illegal war. It violates our treaties and our laws. Presidential impunity must end.

Hans and Sophie Scholl died this day in 1943. They were students armed with Christian conviction and leaflets denouncing Hitler. โ€œYou (Lord) are my strong shield and I trust you completelyโ€ Psalm 28:7 #FreeSpeech

When an attorney general responds to questions about Epstein victims by touting the Dow, something is very wrong. @preetbharara.bsky.social and I discuss Bondiโ€™s congressional testimony on a new episode of @cafedotcom.bsky.social Insider. Listen: cafe.visitlink.me/lKZr85

ICE plans to spend $38.3 billion turning warehouses into detention centers ICE plans to spend $38.3 billion converting warehouses into detention centers, according to planning documents, more than the annual budgets of 22 states.

Imagine if even a fraction of what this administration plans to spend on cages went toward housing people.

What do these corporations have in common?

-Amazon
-AT&T
-Home Depot
-Microsoft
-Palantir

They all reaped billions in tax breaks from Trump's Big Ugly Bill โ€” and are actively collaborating with ICE's deportation machine.

Always follow the money.

Greenland invasion?ย Donโ€™t just laugh. Take action: op-ed It seems ridiculous to have to even argue against the invasion of a peaceful, democratic neighbor.

@timlockette.bsky.social summarizes the reality of Trumpโ€™s insane thinking and our need to respond. Call, write, protest, this is not making anyone great.

Up to $125 million to rename the Department of Defense.

But they can't find the money to lower premiums for Americans crushed by health care costs.
