Senate Republicans just blocked a resolution to force Trump to end his immoral, unconstitutional war on Iran.

John Fetterman voted with Republicans, and Rand Paul voted with Democrats.

I don’t want to share the video because it’s pretty graphic, but apparently we’re at the β€˜Republican Senator breaks the arm of a Marine IN FULL DRESS because that marine was protesting the Republicans starting a war of choice with Iran’ stage of things.

Capitol Police were attempting to remove an unhinged protestor from the Armed Services hearing. He was fighting back. I decided to help out and deescalate the situation. 

This gentleman came to the Capitol looking for a confrontation, and he got one. I hope he gets the help he needs without causing further violence.

If you thought Tim Sheehy would apologize, you were wrong. If you thought he'd blame the Marine, you're right.

Add yet another example to the "Never Apologize" file. Rule number one of being Trumpy is never ever apologize. Boss never apologizes. So I never apologize. It's part of the loyalty test

Find Your Representative Find your representatives. Learn how to find and connect with them. Stay informed about their bills, committees, and contributions.

I just called my US senators and told them to publicly call for Tim Sheehy to be expelled from the Senate for assaulting and apparently breaking the hand of a Marine today.

You can call your Senators, too.

Find them here: reps.fyi

Not gonna share the video of Republican US Senator Tim Sheehy breaking a protesting Marine's hand, but you can find it on @charlotteclymer.bsky.social's timeline.

I'll just say that in a functional country, Sheehy would be expelled by the Senate.

Democratic Senators should publicly push for that.

DHS has admitted to deporting 86 #DACA recipients and detaining 261 othersβ€”that we know of.

One DACA recipient was abducted at her green card interview.

β€œIt seemed like we walked in and she never had a chance,” her daughter said. β€œIt felt like we just walked into a trap.”

Trump Escalates His War Against Dreamers As Senate Hearing Exposes Ongoing Government Waste and Abuses DHS has admitted to kicking out nearly 90 DACA recipients and detaining 261 others despite long-standing protections shielding them from deportation.

The U.S. government made a promise to #DACA recipients: follow the rules, pass background checks, renew your status, and you can live and work without fear.

"But under Donald Trump’s administration, that promise has been fundamentally broken."
