Today, Senator Kaine and I will force the Senate to vote on the administration’s decision to blow up ships in the Caribbean.

If a president can unilaterally put people or groups on a list and kill them, there is no meaningful limit to his use of force.

"So, Democrats have three words for this: no fucking way. It's literally life or death. We will not let Republicans blow up our health care system."

This is, hands down, the best comms work Chuck Schumer has done in YEARS. Surprisingly good.

I have just written this sentiment to Gen Caine, Chr Joint Chiefs and asking him if he still has a spine. I will send a similar letter to him every week or so to remind him of his oath to defend the Constitution.

Pam Bondi, is orange your color? Because I can't wait to see you in a Prison Orange jumpsuit for contempt of Congress.

If ONE general would stand up and say NO, I have to think more will follow. Hope springs eternal.

I am sending Gen Caine a letter telling him that "I was just following orders" won't save him in the future. I am going to send this every couple of weeks. Who's with me?

We are going to write to the Joint Chiefs Chair to say, "'I was just following orders' didn't cut it in Nuremberg." We will send same to the head Nat'l Guard person at Pentagon. And we will send this as often as we need to. I can buy a LOT of stamps. Will you join us?

Pam, hope you enjoy a prison sentence for contempt of Congress.

We decided today to write letters to generals: Caine (chairman of the joint Chiefs), the general in charge of the National Guard, and as many others as we can find names of with the message, "I was just following orders" didn't cut it in the Nuremberg Trials, what makes you think it will save you?

I don’t think that the United States military murdering Venezuelans at sea is getting anywhere near the attention it should

The thing that makes me the sickest is that these folks don’t even have a shred of compassion. It’s one thing to enforce laws and rules. It’s another to do it gleefully and celebrate the suffering of someone born into poverty and desperation
