"M Street and Wisconsin in Georgetown taken over by a large crowd of celebrating Iranians, chanting USA USA … not what I was expecting during my run today."

Rid is a political scientist and professor of cybersecurity at SAIS-JHU.

Yeah. Sucks.

Tell Congress: No War with Iran! Contact Congress today!

URGENT: Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna are using a discharge petition to force a vote on stopping Trump's war in Iran.

We've beat Mike Johnson BAD with discharge petitions before—and we'll do it again!

Tell your Rep. to sign on right now:

Exactly. It's a warning. Get off the cloud. Get a VPN. Be careful.

Not wrong. Turns out animosity is just a tactic, not a compass.

That seems super lucky, too.

A dinosaur of a sort.

Had a prof who didn't believe in tectonics there. He was also a creep. Tolerated, as they were.

Ahh, I remember the great feathered dinos of my youth. Except they had no feathers then. Nor colors. They were camo colored giant gators, mostly.

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1.5 trillion.

Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.

Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits.

The military industrial complex is cheering today.

I just did this. Please, please do it too.

For anyone that feels a little nervous, like I did (first time calling the switchboard), it wasn't that bad, and it felt good to record my thoughts on this matter.

Calls are highest, after personal meetings or town hall handshakes and comments.

Emails and bot msgs are calculated with less weight.

Don’t worry everybody, Thomas is on the job

Here is what we mean by illegal war vs legal war

The distinction between legal war (jus ad bellum) and illegal or aggressive war comes from international law, not US law. Jus ad bellum refers to the legal criteria under international law that determine when a state may lawfully use force.

It is an odd coincidence that it came right in step with Lemon and Fort arrested. Same timeframe.

(That is the only reason I bring up the conspiracy idea, because the perp knew how to not leave evidence and disappear, and the timing. BUT, SG has never criticized T especially and is white. So....)

reaction goes way up, as they could panick.

I also suspect she died either during the breaking or soon after.

So, those baddies are easily out of country almost before law enforcement started. Crossborder, dump body, and drive to cancun.

Or, the FBI did it, if u want to get all conspiracy. >>

Savannahs gambled when she put out her first video about this. It was very early and very public.

She hoped it would bring out leads or a ransom request.

But, it had just as much chance to spook the kidnappers.

She assumed they knew who they were kidnapping. But if they didn't, chance of second >

Celebrating Mary McLeod Bethune during #BlackHistory Month

As an educator, civil rights activist & daughter of former slaves, Bethune became the 1st Black woman to lead a US federal agency. She started a private school which became Bethune-Cookman and also co-founded the United Negro College Fund.

If we yeet Trump and Vance after the mid terms, Mike Johnson will serve (briefly) as president.

It's better, but still *icky*.

No one wants creepy pedo pastor on TV more than he already is.

“We are killing more russians than they are mobilizing. Their army is beginning to melt at the front”

Winner winner chicken dinner.

Putin is on his last legs.

If Russia were more aggressively sanctioned, and more of their offshore assets seized, they would be toast begging for butter in just a few years.

That's lovely!

Scammers exploit ignorance.

The clue is that of course keeping cougars inside is ridiculous.

Read those context clues!

Really outrageous if this is in @schumer.senate.gov 's mind at all, frankly.

Dismissive of massive institutions that promote raping women as being too fringe, then splitting hairs about something literally 2% of Americans know anything about.

People vaguely know that they are trying to make nukes, but most believe that's impossible.

A very few know that it is propped up by Russia.

And, they really don't care.

This isn't really a thing, tho.

Unless referring to elderly Iranian Ameticans.

M9st others couldn't find it on a map, confuse it with Iraq, and have had absolutely zero interest.

The only thing vast majority of Americans know about central Asian countries is Isreal. And can't find on map either.

Not to worry, there's always someone else who will happily illegally surveil and randomly nuke,
just to make a buck.

I was joking.

I was just making cat jokes.
