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.

Ok so the point of blowing up boats was to pave the way for blowing up democrats.

Schiff: "You begin to wonder -- do they believe they have the authority by putting some groups on a list, even domestic groups, to use lethal force against them, with no trial, no due process, no nothing? The reality is we can't rule that out."

He created the tariffs to get us off DOGE. And fascism.

Angry @angrystaffer.bsky.social · 7h

If we are taking in “trillion” of dollars in tariffs:

1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt?

2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies?

3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?

This is Adelita Grijalva.

She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files.

She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.

We all know what he means. He never mentioned sending Pritzker to jail & he's been talking about Trump for months. Now, when the mayor speaks up Trump's racism rears it's ugly head & he mentions jail for the 1st time.

Looking around Blsky today it feels we are at a breaking point. Republican Reps aren’t safe from Trump. So they better get rid of him fast before he comes for them!

So the American taxpayer eats it twice, once on tariffs and again on a second farm bailout. I’m glad farmers are getting help, no one should lose their farm, but it’s remarkable how fast “socialism” stops being a dirty word when the checks clear in red counties.
