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.

Johnson: "He has defunded our education system. He has defunded our transportation system. He's firing black women across this country. He's defunding our healthcare system. This president is absolutely out of control... Chicago is going to stand firm in protecting humanity."

I see that most of the "OMG Javier Milei has performed an economic miracle in Argentina OMG I Heart Maggie" crowd - predictably, since it did the same with Lis Truss - has switched to "tEh PrObLeM iS MiLEi wOz NoT fRee mArKet eNouGh".

How many times must these utter fools fail before they get it?

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson announces an executive order establishing "ICE-free zones" in Chicago.

"That means that city property and unwilling private businesses will no longer serve as staging grounds for these raids."

This man is an American Hero!

It's diabolical how they seem to tap directly into the most primitive parts of the human brain, and then sustain the over-stimulation long-term.

Over 14 years, the Tories and their friends robbed us blind. And Labour continues to support the privatised world that also robs us blind

The rich are getting richer and, through their media & politicians, are telling the poor to ignore who is really making their lives harder & blame brown people

Murray: "If House Republicans were here, I'd make sure they understood over 3/4 of the families on the exchanges actually live in R states. And I'd make sure they understand the 10 states where families will face biggest average premium increase hikes when the ACA credits expire are all R states."

🔥 Acting POTUS Temu Goebbels Stephen Miller appeared to glitch out on a CNN interview w/a *looong pause* —but it was no glitch.

He let slip that he believes the president has "plenary authority" (total, absolute power) & thus does not have to listen to any judge.

Naked coup. WATCH...
