Well, this aged exactly how I was afraid it would
You have clearly not read the War Powers Act, Mike. Everything you've written is totally wrong.
The War Powers Act SPECIFICALLY PROHIBITS military action unless: a/ there is a prior congressional authorization; or b/ it's a response to an attack against the U.S.
A PSA from Thomas Massie:
The FBI Director, everyone. You paid for it.
Nope. Son of Holocaust survivor. My father was 11 when the Nazis invaded his hometown in eastern Poland. He survived only by fleeing to a different city with a false baptismal certificate. The comparison is apt. Carry on.
We need to crush ICE’s budget.
One court decision, two different headlines.
Guardian on the left, NY Times on the right. Which one more directly conveys information and the stakes to the reader?
It will become increasingly important for people to take video and protect and save that video so that when there is finally an accounting for what’s happening, there will be evidence.
Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.
Yes, this! Stand up, fight back
This is stunning. Listen to this in Philadelphia.
Thousands singing “Hey-Oh, we won’t be silent while our friends are gunned down.”
Really listen to it.
He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.
This is absolutely what happened.
NEW: 400+ civil rights groups and unions just joined our demand that Congress refuse funds for ICE and rein in their behavior.
Masked federal agents are endangering our communities and putting lives at risk. Our leaders must act now and defend us from this lawless violence.
Ellison: "In other words, we didn't vote for him, so we can't have justice? Also, no president I've ever heard of received a $400m plane from a country trying to curry favor, crypto deals...he's truly distinguished himself in the area of corruption, so for him to call MN corrupt is quite remarkable"
All of these bootlegged copies of the 60 Minutes segment flooding my feed (saying, ‘Watch it quick! Before it disappears!’) makes me feel like I’m in the Soviet Union and just got some black market foreign newspaper I need to hide under a floorboard in my house.
This is where America is now
this is one of the most psychotic things Trump has ever posted
I've about had it with death.
Rob Reiner gave us a lingua franca that connected us to fellow travelers for DECADES.
He made American culture classic, memorable, accessible, poignant and unpretentious in a way few have. Devastating.

Heartbreaking and horrifying to go to bed reading about the mass shooting at Brown University and wake up to read about the mass shooting at a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach. Thinking of the victims, their loved ones, and those affected by the hate that drove these attacks.
This paper contains some good arguments about an issue that concerns me a lot when I hear my colleagues talking about LLM use in developing their research:
Whose ideas are you presenting as your own?
(Though the fatalist argument the authors make at the end of paper is disappointing/bizarre.)
Fully agree
Actually, the Covid supplement expired before that (2024) resulting in an increase in costs for the past two years. This new hike is insane my insurance for a family of 4 is fully DOUBLING to $3,500 / month. And the deductible has increased too. It’s not tenable for any working family
You don’t need to be a Democrat to know this is wrong — you just need a conscience. If you can hear what these people survived in ICE custody and feel no outrage, then we are not standing on the same side of right and wrong.
The EPA has removed references about humans causing climate change from its website. No US government website can be trusted for science information.
This week, the Senate will vote on Democrats' clean, three-year extension of the ACA tax credits.
Republicans have a choice: stop health insurance premiums from skyrocketing or abandon their constituents.
