I've given my new Senator a lot of shit on here. But I don't think anyone with power has laid out the stakes of what we're facing as clearly as she does right here.

And if she's saying this, it's because she feels she must.

Retired intelligence analysts confirm what the political scientists are telling us — and what the world outside is telling us — the goal of these people is the end of law, the end of democracy, and the end of a recognizable republic.

As Gov. Newsom said on Aug 14: Nov. 4 - USE IT!

We can stop MAGA's maps, but only if every registered Democrat votes in November’s special election.

Vote YES on Prop 50 Nov. 4th!
Protect democracy. Win the House in ’26.

I hope this is the start of something big for Democrats‼️

NEW: Barack Obama personally called Zohran Mamdani, the front-runner for NYC mayor, to praise his campaign and offer to be a “sounding board.”

Democrats, take notes…

Pleased to speak with @gregsargent.bsky.social.

“It appears the U.S. president is asserting a license to kill and may be taking the country to war in Venezuela. At the same time, we have the SouthCom Commander stepping down.”

“Alarm bells should be sounding on Capitol Hill.”
News on Trump boat bombings --> Rep Adam Smith, top Dem on Armed Services, tells me GOPers are failing to press for testimony from the top Pentagon official who recently resigned, potentially over the strikes.

Appallingly, we may never hear from him.

Trump Boat Bombings Worsen as New Horror Shakes Experts: “Alarm Bells”
Remember the Southern Command admiral who resigned two weeks ago? Hill Republicans haven’t heard from him—and they don’t apparently want to.

Trump’s military moves against Venezuela are not about drugs. They’re driven by something else that’s addicting Americans: oil. Venezuela has the world’s largest known oil reserves. Trump wants it. In this thread are …

Right now the U.S. is amassing "the largest U.S. military deployment in Latin America since the Cold War" to provoke a war against Venezuela.

In some better alternate timeline, we'd be using all those resources to help our neighbors in Jamaica, Haiti, & Cuba recover from Hurricane Melissa.

From the flight deck of the USS Gerald R. Ford to the submarines prowling the depths of the Caribbean, the United States has assembled a military force unseen in the region for decades.

Also rumors of widespread power outages and GPS jamming in Venezuela, airspace closures around US operating areas in Puerto Rico, and some coy comments from the political sphere. We may be striking Venezuela tonight.
Various pizzerias nearby the Pentagon are reporting above average traffic.

The last time pizzerias near the Pentagon reported such high activity was right before the start of Operation Rising Lion, when the United States destroyed Iran's nuclear weapons development facilities.

The USA Government has authorized strikes on Venezuela, though Congress has not be told as it's 'not war'.

There are at least 21 military vessels off Venezuela including an Aircraft Carrier, 4 Cruisers, 2 Nuclear Submarines, 2 Landing Craft and at least 10,000 soldiers.
