It’s SHAMEFUL to watch US Senators vote NO on the War Powers resolution & give this administration a blank check to bomb whoever the hell they want. The current conduct in the Caribbean is unconstitutional and unacceptable!

#BREAKING A federal judge say she will grant "in part" a request by the state of Illinois for a temporary restraining order against the deployment of National Guard troops into the state.

U.S. District Judge April Perry is still ruling and has not outlined the details of her order.

If my "it's bullshit" isn't convincing enough, here's a good @lawfaremedia.org piece explaining... it's bullshit

It’s hard to imagine a worse case than the one against James Comey—until you see the one against the attorney general of New York.

There is nothing left of the old Washington Post. It was bought and slowly subverted into a right wing mouthpiece. The headline is the look that our dear leader wants to see. That’s what this is all about.

Will Stancil @whstancil.bsky.social · 13h

Why is this front-page news? The Washington Post doesn't say. It's a turning point in US history but our pathetic journalist class hides the relevance behind suggestion and implication, afraid to say things that everyone knows. Useless
