Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation.

I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.

Thanks for trying. Keep at it. Maybe send a letter? Good luck.

My attitude on this is that I'm not calling them because I think I can change their minds.

I'm calling them because it is unthinkable to let them do this without hearing how evil and awful they are.

My spite powers me. If I can get just 500 people a day to join me, we could fuck up their day.

Also, 5calls.org/issue/trump-... if you need help with a script. My senators are on the Armed Services Committee. I'm going to name-check that when I call them RIGHT NOW

Call your employees in the federal government (you typically have 3) and demand impeachment. Not sure who they are? www.house.gov and www.senate.gov

FOLKS NEED TO REALIZE HOW HUGE THIS IS

For the first time in modern Texas history, Dems have candidates running in every state and federal race on the 2026 ballot.

That includes all congressional seats, every state House and state Senate race, plus statewide judicial and State Board of Education.

Trump promised peace, but has delivered war. For months, the Trump administration has escalated conflict in Venezuela with unconstitutional and illegal strikes, and lied to the American people. Now, Trump has committed the United States to running another country for the foreseeable future while Americans foot the bill for regime change.  Today, Trump finally said the quiet part out loud. The justification for this war isn’t about stemming the flow of drugs. This is about regime change. This is about enriching oil corporations and billionaires. Congress must immediately assert its constitutional authority over American military action—the same authority Trump’s own chief of staff said he needs. This is the worst kind of betrayal from Trump. He committed the United States to an uncertain role in South America with an indeterminate timeline. As Trump’s influence over the country and the world wanes, he is ready and willing to endanger Americans and abandon the Constitution as a last-ditch effort to hold on to power and relevancy.

My full statement on Trump’s unconstitutional military operations in Venezuela:

In 2025, Democrats Flipped 21 Percent of GOP-Held Legislative Seats - Bolts Editor’s note: The article was updated on Dec. 31 to reflect the results of three special elections held in late December, none of which resulted in a partisan flip. At... Read More

Last month, I wrote on all legislative races of 2025. There were still a few elections left in the year, however. But now, they're all done.

And so we've updated the analysis:

—Democrats flipped 25 legislative seats in 2025.
That's 21% of the 119 GOP-held seats at play.
—The GOP flipped 0.

Attention #usa voters #abroad - didja request your ballots for 2026 yet?

What an amazing analogy of life under Trump!

Listen Kaine, Hassan, King, Cortez-Masto, Durbin, Shaheen, Rosen, and Fetterman. You're NOT gonna take away my 2025 election joy. We voted in that election for folks to FIGHT for us. That doesn't include YOU.

YOU are what we voted AGAINST last Tuesday. So I'm gonna hang on to that.

breaking news: the statue of liberty just got her titties out

Our #VoteFromAbroad makes a difference!

It fascinates me that giving to charities is considered noble and praiseworthy, but creating a society that doesn't require charity is considered socialist and bad.

@demsabroad.bsky.social are doing great work to upgrade that "sometimes" to "always!"

“Too young” Madani is the same age Dick Cheney was when he became White House Chief of Staff

successfully got my sister AND dad to vote today. nagging works!

Grace Panetta on Twitter: “Hashmi is the first Muslim woman elected to a statewide office *ever* in US history”

Congratulations to Lieutenant Governor-elect Hashmi on her historic win! We are *SO* close to adding a Democratic trifecta in Trump’s backyard.

the andrew formerly known as prince has anyone done this one yet

The Walton family surely does

I know im not American, but I want to say - I was in America last November.

Yeah.

So at the very least, go out and vote in the midterms. That's all. Vote.

Use your voice.

Its what Janeway would do.

#StarTrek

Yeah, that was my thought, too. But then a couple hours later the #United app begrudgingly gave us our boarding passes. 🤷‍♂️

Anyone know or what's up with #united? Need to fly tomorrow and connect at #ord otw to #muc.

This bodes ill.

If you don't live in the USA, votefromabroad.org makes it easy to request your ballot. Depending on your state, there may still be time to vote!

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

Ooh I'd like to try that
