RAND PAUL: If a country bombed our air defense missiles, captured & removed our president, & blockaded our country, would that be considered an act of war?
RUBIO: We just don't believe this operation comes anywhere close to the constitutional definition
PAUL: Of course it would be an act of war!

What time is it? 85 seconds to midnight.
The setting of the Doomsday Clock gets a lot of eyeballs, but the real juice is in the Clock Statement, where @meckdevil.bsky.social synthesizes the many intersecting global threats assessed by @thebulletin.org's Science & Security Board:

It’s not just McBride.
I’m not sure the public realizes how deeply the 🇨🇦 + 🇺🇸 military integrated.
So if CAF are carrying out Trump’s orders on exchange - what happens if there’s a conflict between the two country’s interests?

COLLINS: Did it stand out to you that he said Iceland multiple times when he was talking about Greenland?
NEWSOM: And that every time a windmill turns it costs $1,000. A lot of stuff stands out. None of this is normal. There's a deviancy of consciousness. He's graded off the curve.

ICE frequently uses the pretext of illegal immigration to threaten others, abuses its power, and creates social division and panic. It not only persecutes innocent people but also undermines social cohesion and trust, impacting the quality of life for countless families.
Gallego: "We cannot vote for anything that actually adds more money and doesn't constrain ICE ... we cannot keep funding this type of goon squad"

It is incredibly important to our effectivity as activists that we do so.
You have to know how to pick your battles and to know which threats are real and which ones are just designed to terrify you into submission.
