America’s military isn’t a missionary force. Our foreign policy should defend human rights, not one religion.

The U.S. protects people β€” not β€œChristian populations.”

I have to stress how highly unusual it is for the most powerful military on the planet to be blowing up random boats in international waters.

I can’t help but feel that several criminal charges will ultimately come from these strikes.

It makes far more sense to interdict them.

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

The remedy for a president who even attempts to invent new crimes by decree is removal from office.

A WILD ONE: A man broke his leg during an arrest by ICE at a car wash south of L.A.

ICE has held him under 24/7 guard at a hospital, registering him under a pseudonym, for *37 days* without telling him why.

A judge has ordered his immediate release.

Imagine a world where Alzheimer’s, cancer, and deadly diseases could have been stopped and then realize someone chose to let it slip away. Ending research that could have cured Alzheimer’s, cancer, and countless diseases isn’t politics it’s a crime against humanity’s future.
