Today, Senator Kaine and I will force the Senate to vote on the administrationโ€™s decision to blow up ships in the Caribbean.

If a president can unilaterally put people or groups on a list and kill them, there is no meaningful limit to his use of force.

US demands EU dismantle green regulations in threat to trade deal Washington wants American companies to be exempted from rules such as having to draw up climate transition plans

Please don't cave in to these monsters.

๐Ÿ”ฅThe Feodosiya oil terminal continues to burn for three days after attack.

Russian authorities in Crimea are still silent about the incident โ€“ โ€‹โ€‹not a single statement has been issued.

Last evening, the smoke plume stretched 26 kilometers westward.

Soybean Farmer: So now I've got a tariff war that's killing my market. I don't have any money from grain we're sending to other countries for USAID. I mean, I've got a compound problem. I don't know how you plan for next year because we don't know where we're at.

Palestinian state is in Israelโ€™s interest, says Israeli ex-PM We spoke to former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and asked him if Benjamin Netanyahu could be trusted to stick to the plan for Gaza.

"Netanyahu will be withdrawn to the sidelines of history for his failures, for his arrogance, for his lack of human sensitivity."

Former Israeli PM Ehud Olmert tells @krishgm.bsky.social his thoughts on what will be the current leader's legacy.

a way to understand Bari Weissโ€™ ascendance is that capital absolutely does not want to โ€œturn down the temperatureโ€ on culture war, au contraire they understand culture war to be their most successful media project and want more more more.

Early voting is underway for Prop 50 in California.

Whitehouse: "The supposed contribution made to me by some Epstein person is actually not true. It's false. So, weird when an AG of the US comes to the Judiciary Committee & makes false allegations about a senator - demonstrably false - rather than answer a simple Q: Is there a picture, or no?"
