Question: Will all the people that are supposedly coming to the USA for the World Cup going to have to provide 5 years of social media posts?
Because that might have a chilling effect on ticket sales.

Massive defeat for Mike Johnson. Still has to clear the senate, but this is what Dems wanted all along. Johnson has essentially lost control of the gavel after Epstein and now this. Weakest speaker in history.

THIS is unacceptable war mongering for profit.
War with Venezuela is NOT justified under ANY law of international conflict.
The asshole is just jealous that Putin got to invade a country to grab what he wanted, and is trying to do the same.

The is a declaration and act of war without congressional approval, and imperialistic jingoism.

AOC to @pabloreports.bsky.social: It is the responsibility of Congress to declare and authorize the use of military force. Congress has not authorized a military use of force. There has not been a case made, and I think the absence of one really speaks volumes.
