For all that the media has spent years freaking out about what social media does to our brains, I don’t understand why there appears to be little effort to grapple with the fact that these chatbots are, for some not insignificant portion of the population, literally psychosis machines

There's significant evidence from state legislative term limits that they do, in fact, empower both lobbyists and state executive branches.

"Disagreeing" without offering any counter-evidence is just vibes.
I disagree with the suggestion that term limits would further empower lobbyists and therefore we shouldn't consider them as a viable path forward. The current system of federal elected officials who are financially incentivized to become insider traders until they choose to retire isn't working.

It's 2026 and Schumer is publicly admitting he continues to take Trump at his word
Schumer: “I was in the SCIF on 3 different occasions … I asked them: Are you pursuing regime change? Are you intent on taking military action in Venezuela?"

“And they are assured me they are not pursuing those things”

All my fucking tax dollars go towards murdering innocent people abroad. Never enough money for free college. Or free school lunch. Or to fix the goddamned roads and the crumbling bridges. Always enough for murder.

I am so livid.

And also bring up articles of impeachment, right?
I refuse to stand by and allow us to be pulled into another endless war.

You also voted to confirm Marco Rubio.
This is an illegal intervention in a country that poses no threat to the United States. Trump is trying to distract from the fact that he tanked our economy and kicked millions off their health care. Congressional Republicans need to rein Trump in before he gets American troops killed.
Trump says U.S. will 'run' Venezuela and sell seized oil in remarks on the strikes
President Trump says the United States conducted a strike in Venezuela and captured that country's president, Nicolás Maduro along with his wife, Cilia Flores.

Listen @merkley.senate.gov and @wyden.senate.gov I know that none of you seem to give a single fuck about how ineffective this man is, but Jesus Christ it's well past time for a new leader.
Schumer: "It makes you think that maybe to Trump he wants to distract the American people, as he always does, from the skyrocketing costs they are facing, from the Epstein files."

Again, Marco Rubio was confirmed 99-0.
It leaves the U.S. in charge of managing the future of Venezuela, with potential consequences for American lives and treasure.

It is way past time for Congress to reassert its proper constitutional powers.

You don't have to listen to these professional liars who are barely trying. 9 months ago they were saying they were powerless to return a man they illegally sent to an El Salvador gulag because it would violate that country's national sovereignty
Vance pushes back and says this was not illegal, arguing "Maduro has multiple indictments in the United States for narcoterrorism. You don't get to avoid justice for drug trafficking in the United States because you live in a palace in Caracas."

As we watch the Trump admin fly into a capital and abduct/arrest a head of state, it’s worth remembering that he’s frequently called for American governors and mayors to be arrested for their supposed coddling of gangs of narco-terrorists.

It's really fucking not.
Tom Cotton: "Congress isn't notified when the FBI is going to arrest a drug trafficker or cyber criminal here in the US, nor should Congress be notified when the executive branch is executing arrests on indicted persons. And that's really what you can make the analogy to here."

It’s sickening how quickly I can see the gears of American imperialism turning to support this. No one will pay the price, except for millions of Venezuelans of course.
