How much more evidence do we need? The ultra-rich and the governments supporting them will destroy everything for the sake of profit, power and pride. Nothing is precious to them - not human life, not the living world - except their own wealth and status. Our survival depends on resisting them.

Trump works for Putin. Trump is a traitor.

Clinton had us debt-free by 2010. Bush blew it. Obama fixed it. Trump crashed it. Biden fixed it. Trump crashed it again β€” 92,000 jobs gone last month. Want a good economy? Elect Democrats.

Hey my fellow Democrats, β€œAbolish ICE” is not β€œDefund the Police.” Defund the police was stupid politically and horrible policy. But ICE isn’t the police. ICE is the antithesis of law enforcement. And most Americans know that. So come on my fellow Dems…have the courage to say β€œAbolish ICE.”

No illegal and unconstitutional war. Congress needs to hold hearings and vote on the war, and impeachment.

A dozen years ago, they mocked us for calling authoritarian racist folks "tea baggers."

And today, America is one big mouth controlling all the nuts.

I saw a news report today that a half ton of meth from Mexico was seized in Georgia. The border claim is not holding up either.

A Death Cult on a β€œmission from God” teamed up with another Death Cult on a β€œmission from God” and attacked another Death Cult on a β€œmission from God” and you’re surprised that innocent people are dying?

So, in launching a huge bombing campaign on Iran they apparently didn't plan for:

- Who takes over;
- Interceptor shortages from sustained drone retaliation;
- How to defend US bases in the region;
- Threats to ships in the Strait of Hormuz; and
- How to evacuate Americans with airspace closed.

That's because you never interfere with an enemy who is in the process of destroying himself.

The scam of originalism is that the framers thoughts about many issues survive the 13th, 14th, 15th, and 19th Amendments. An actual framer would be livid about a mad king imposing tariffs or sending troops to war, not whether a city could regulate how you transport a gun.

Trump launched a war on Iran without a single vote in Congress. No authorization. No debate. No declaration. Just one man's decision. The Framers called this sort of thing the greatest danger to the republic.

As a historian, I'd just like to remind the politicians who follow me that it is not, in fact, 2003 anymore and the current GOP war in the Middle East is not, in fact, even remotely popular.

So if you're a weathervane who just tries to do what's already popular, full-throated opposition is it!

Democrat for Congress

Statement on Trump’s crime against peace

The President of the United States has done what the Constitution expressly forbids: he has taken this nation to war by personal decree; without the consent of Congress; and without the approval of the American people whose sons and daughters will bear its costs.

The Founders did not theorize about the dangers of unchecked executive power. They lived themβ€”in the edicts of a distant king, in the obstruction of the administration of justice, in wars begun without the voice of the governed. They wrote what they knew: war powers, surrendered to a single individual, constituted an absolute tyranny.

That power belongs to the Congress. That decision belongs to the people. A president who would commit this nation to war on his authority alone is not a guardian of our security. He is a threat to it.

As a concerned citizen, I will not be silent as the constitutional order is dismantled in plain sight. As a congressional candidate, I will not stand by as this Congress abdicates its oath. As a member of Congress, I will not submit to war by executive fiat. For all of it strikes at the very heart of what this country is and what it must never become.

History will record what was done in this moment. History will also record what we did in response. My answer will be clear: I stood for the Constitution, for the rule of law, and for the American people. This government derives its just powers from our consent and we do not consent to this.

We did not arrive here by accident. We arrived here by acquiescence. Each transgression that went unanswered taught this president one lesson: that there are no consequences.

This is a moment that calls for courage. The courage to break this cycle of impunity. There is no turning the page on this era. It must end with prosecutions.

An Unconstitutional War Trump's attack on Iran is obviously unconstitutional. The moral and policy issues are a closer call.

This war is blatantly unconstitutional - undeniably a large enough military action to require congressional authorization. Its wisdom and morality are closer calls. But I'm skeptical regime change (which would be good) can be achieved by air attack alone: reason.com/volokh/2026/...

The thing is that this isn’t just weakness from Democrats like Schumer, it’s a performance so they can help launder a war they fully support

Trump’s billionaire allies will now own CNN, Fox News, CBS, WaPo, WSJ and NY Post β€” plus 185+ local tv stations and news in 100 markets.

They also control X, Facebook, Instagram, Threads, WhatsApp, TikTok, Truth and Twitch.

This is all by design to manipulate and surveil us.

Pay attention.
