Blowing up civilian boats in international waters is international terrorism. Illegal throughout the world. Making an accusation & killing people is barbaric. What if another country started blowing up boats off our coast?

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.

They are going to violently attack and murder Americans whom Trump accuses of being "Antifa."

He says he is authorized to go after terrorists.

@warnock.senate.gov: "You know that it's a critical moment any time Raphael Warnock and Marjorie Taylor Greene are essentially saying the same thing. That doesn't happen often... She saw that the premiums of her own adult children will go up so much in 2026 that their healthcare is unaffordable."

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

I couldn't imagine a more perfectly poetic example of saying the quiet part out loud than "we took the freedom of speech away"

POTUS & Roger Stone protégé Jack Posobiec are retconning the heroic anti-fascists that fought Weimar Republic Nazis.

The intentional effort to render “anti-fascist” devoid of its positivity is strategic.

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

The White House Antifa Roundtable is one of the best displays I’ve seen of this-is-how-bad-it’s-gotten — just a sewer of open fascism, dementia, morons and freaks, and incoherent rage.
