The press, 2026: Everything Biden did was imputed to reflect how old and feeble he was. NOTHING Trump does is imputed to reflect his abhorrent personal character. Peripatetic. Infuriated. Hanger-on at Balloon Juice. MSP / CO / WI

Ed Markey just did a furious, "Oh hell no!" video from his kitchen.
So, some Democrats are doing what you say. Many more need to!!
Live Update: US - Israeli Attacks Threaten to Set Off Broader Regional Conflict
Only exactly what people not in the orbit of Trump and his band of evil idiots have been saying, ever since that aircraft carrier headed to the Gulf.
Here we go, into the unknown unknowns.
Six dollar gas?
Flag draped coffins at Dover AFB?
We have no idea right now how the situation will change.
Tail effects are seriously unknown.
(I also just loathe the idea that politics is a game. People die from the bad choices made.)
His video is very clear that the war powers resolution is to STOP Trump's war. But the skeet text needs to make that plain as well.
Tons of folk on here are saying the vote will be to authorize.
No! That's not it.
Watch the video.
Says so much also about how he tried to handle Minneapolis: Peace is the absence of resistance, not the absence of violence.

"Congress must convene on Monday to vote," Khanna said, "to stop this." Massie blasted Trump's own presidential campaign slogan and said: "This is not 'America First.'"
Efforts afoot for a Monday vote. And there's at least two Senate Rs likely to be aligned with Massie. In the House, Reps.

Groceries. Still.
TY!!
I don't believe she's never had a core ethic about anything.
I know you're saying it's journalism's core ethic, but Bari has never indicated she accepts such things. One of the central thrusts of the past couple decades is discovering that principled conservatism was a chimera. A ruse. A LIE.
Grocery.
The handshake and the fist, while obvs different from each other, ate too graphically similar.
And grocery runs really have been a big part of this.
What's the flag-draped coffin count (not that Trump-Wiles will allow anyone to see them) where even Republicans bail on this sh*tstorm?

The original skeet contains no expression of surprise.
What is gained by read into all these observations of Trump's fuckups?
We had a deal to keep Iran from getting nukes!
Trump backed out of it because he wanted to own Obama. Iran kept following its end of the deal for a year anyway, begging Trump to reenter the deal.
Trump literally backed out of the no nukes deal and then initiated a war because of nukes. Insanity.
Chief Justice John Roberts:
Oh, wait till President SpanPritzOccasiHarris tries it. It'll still be massive overreach. Anything they do will be!
This isn't a sporting event with fans and sides. It's a brutal and likely illegally started war.
Why this process crap is considered "news" points to how broken elite journalism is.
I think her making it clear that negotiations, not violence, was the path and that Trump abandoned the negotiations is a key point.

For obvious reasons, I'm in a MOOD.
And it's going to be touch and go wether I block accounts that are harping on "Congress" not doing enough.
It's the fucking Republicans. The REPUBLICANS.
Blaming Congress is pernicious both-sides (even if, yeah, I'd like a bit more vigor from some Ds!).
