Not that it means anything anymore, but surely starting a shooting war without going to Congress should be something worthy of another impeachment to add to his collection.

Only Congress has the constitutional power to authorize war.

Yet, the Trump administration is once again taking unilateral and reckless military action against Iran, putting both servicemembers and civilians in danger. This is unconstitutional.

I promise you that the government that murdered Alex Pretti and Renee Good does not give a flying fuck about the protests in Iran.

The U.S. is now engulfed in what could be another forever war in Iran. Here’s a warning from 10 years ago that sadly feels too relevant right now.

Hey GOP why not make Hillary and bills deposition on Epstein public, as the request?

Hillary Clinton: β€œYou have held zero public hearings, refused to allow the media to attend them, including today, despite espousing the need for transparency on dozens of occasions.

You have made little effort to call the people who show up most prominently in the Epstein files.β€œ

Judge Says U.S. Is Intentionally Violating the Law on Immigration

After DEMANDING that Hillary Clinton's testimony on the Epstein scandal be held behind closed doors, and even threatening her with contempt for her insistence that reporters be allowed in, the GOP has been sending out photos and info to far-right influencers.

Hypocrisy is the GOP brand.

US justice department accused of withholding Trump-related Epstein files The top Democrat on the congressional panel investigating Epstein has called on the attorney general to publish the material.

Robert Garcia, who sits on the House Oversight Committee, said he had personally viewed documents of sexual abuse of a MINOR made against Trump! The @DOJ is HIDING those #EpsteinFiles from the public!

Columbia President with NEW details:

5 DHS agents entered a residency with no warrant.

They said they were police looking for a missing kid.
Security camera even captures them showing pictures of the "kid."

A campus officer asked for a warrant & their boss.

They ignored him & took the student.

Netflix Backs Out of Bid for Warner Bros., Paving Way for an Ellison Takeover

The richest man owns X.

The second and third richest men control Google.

The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.

And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

See the problem here?

One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power.

The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever.

But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.

Here’s a thought for James Comer.

There IS a First Lady who has had a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. And it’s not Hillary Clinton.

It might be worthwhile for Comer to subpoena the First Lady who actually knows Epstein.

You know, just to see what she knows.

The DOJ dumped millions of Epstein files and called it transparency, but key FBI interviews naming Trump in abuse allegations were missing. If evidence about a sitting president is being withheld, that’s not transparency that’s a cover up.

Breaking on MS NOW:

@alivitali.bsky.social reports the Hillary Clinton deposition has resumed, but that Clinton is asking press be allowed into the room for the rest of the deposition.

Comer said NO β€” despite Lauren Boebert taking photos of Clinton and giving them to a far-right activist.

the fact the president of the united states is even thinking about asserting emergency powers to disrupt an election - just a few years after he incited an armed coup attempt - should be the top issue. but the media mostly shrugs and the opposition doesnt focus on it.
