And now here we are.. Trump starts a war without congressional approval or approval from the majority of Americans, but now we have to pay the full bill for whatever he decides he wants to do because it would be unpatriotic not to let Trump do whatever he wants with our money.

They claim to have been planning this for months, to allegedly keep Americans safe, but had no plan to evacuate any Americans from the region because it happened too quickly.

Weird.

We need to pass a House rule or law that requires them to work a certain number of days to get paid. Since Mike Johnson took over these people hardly ever work. When they finally come back after weeks off they work 2 days and he sends them home for 2 more weeks. It’s ridiculous.

Kelly: "You could pick a random group of people off the street tonight here in DC and they could probably do a better job than our government is doing right now. They don't have a goal, there's no strategic plan. And what this is likely to lead to is, again, a long war with a lot of dead Americans."

A political earthquake in Texas Despite obvious voter suppression tactics in Dallas, Texas Democrats set a new turnout record and voted in bigger numbers than Republicans for the first time since 2002.

Hope from @lebassett.bsky.social:

"I think if Democrats ever had a chance to claw back power in the Lone Star State and cause a real political earthquake, that chance is sitting in front of them right now."

Breaking: Arkansas Democrats just flipped a Republican seat It's the ninth red-to-blue pickup in a special election in Trump's second term

JUST IN: Democrat Alex Holladay has flipped a GOP-held seat in *Arkansas*.

Republican Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders tried hard to delay this race and wanted the seat to stay vacant for 8+ months, but the courts told her to hold it today. If she was worried, she was right to be.

It's a great night to consider running for office. It's still not too late in some states to get on the ballot for 2026 -- and definitely not too early for 2027 or 2028. runforwhat.net

When it comes to launching this new war, the question everyone is asking is, to quote the President's favorite song: WHY?!

Trump's Iran War and the Article One crisis Congress's refusal to do its job is now the world's problem.

The founders could not have anticipated that Congress would simply stop doing its job, but that’s where we are now.

When we are on the other side of this slide into fascism, we’re going to have to figure out how to make members of Congress WORK!

Latest in @atrupar.com's PN via @snipy.bsky.social:

Trump’s war is messing with the fallout from Trump’s tariffs, which is messing from the fallout from Trump’s war on clean energy

When the media covers war, every other topic fades Trump will do anything to distract from the political damage of the Epstein files

You can be sure that this drastic change of subject (in the media) is all part of Trump’s plan.

So as citizens and news consumers, we need to be hyper-aware of what’s missing."

2 Moved to TX because the regime has anticipated a need to circumvent state laws regarding abortion, medical rights
3 the infants in question will likely be trafficked into evangelical adoption networks or be subject the consequences of a lack of medical care

Boom 💥💥

Q: "Do you think Trump should be deposed by this committee?"

HILLARY: "Absolutely. Trump has been held civilly liable for sexual assault by a jury of his peers. That is behavior that fits a pattern."

Wondering why our tax dollars are paying for a Congress at all anymore 😡

Opinion | Historians Confirm: Tomorrow Won’t Be Better Than Today

"When Trump refused to say whether he would accept the outcome of the election in 2016, people should have sensed the danger. And yet at the time, respected intellectuals told me that everything would be fine....All he wanted was to play golf or make money."
