Every morning I’m like What now?
This account is mostly political. It’s where I go to discuss the ongoing shit show, exchange ideas on how to push back against trump 2.0, and vent. Happy to engage in challenging discussions but maga is blocked on sight.

I (and others) have caught a lot of flak on here for calling out the pathetically tepid response to trump’s unexpected rapid dismantling of the federal government.
The main question I get is “what can a minority party do” and here are some of my ideas…would love to hear yours!

Paul isn’t wrong on this.
Presidents for decades have abused their authority by unilaterally dragging us into repeated “conflicts” across the globe.
Congress MUST reassert its Constitutional authority as being the only branch of government that can authorize the use of military force.

SEN. KELLY : “They informed me of this in a tweet because this is not about the law. This is about the media cycle, and intimidation… We basically repeated the uniform code of military justice, and they're saying that's in violation of it. It's absurd. Comical.”

No. New. Republican. Wars.
President Trump’s administration is set to ramp up pressure on Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro by designating the Cartel de los Soles as a foreign terrorist organization. But the entity that the U.S. government alleges is led by Maduro is not a cartel per se. https://to.pbs.org/43QxlEl
U.S. set to label Maduro-tied Cartel de los Soles as a terror organization. It's not a cartel per se
The move planned Monday comes as President Donald Trump evaluates whether to take military action against Venezuela, which Trump has not ruled out despite bringing up the possibility of talks with Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.

For over 300 years now, it is a bedrock principle in Anglo-American constitutionalism that obedience is owed according only to law. Refusal to follow an illegal command is not only a moral choice but an absolute duty.

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.
