I wrote that siding with Trump on this “would not be a difference of opinion, an alternative path, or even a politicized decision. It would be a decision effectively overturning a key portion of the Fourteenth Amendment, and it would need to be treated as such.”
Birthright citizenship, firing powers, the National Guard, and Trump's made-up "peace prize"

without birthright citizenship in the united states, you don't have a democracy and you don't have rule of law.
revoking birthright citizenship gives fascists free rein to purge the country of literally anyone they don't like. it opens the door to atrocities and mass murder. i am not exaggerating.

Probably smart for any Republican who wants to rid himself of Hegseth's vicious bumbling to focus on the utter incompetence of Signalgate, since Trump generally doesn't fire people for what he hired them to do.
In Hegseth's case: kill civilians.

Nebraska congressman says Hegseth should be replaced as Secretary of Defense
Don Bacon pointed to Hegseth’s response to a Pentagon report indicating the secretary put U.S. troops at risk by sharing sensitive military plans as undermining his credibility to lead.

Democrats 2 biggest strategic failures is that:
1. They don't fight for you.
2. They fall into traps that feed the nihilism of "both sides."
Newsom's impressive online jockeying seems to solve 1. But when you've side with tyrants on against the group they're scapegoating, you've got no one's back.

The only time Article 5 of the NATO Treaty was invoked was to defend us, not for us to defend Europe. European soldiers and civilians died fighting with us and working next to us in Afghanistan. Europe was not attacked on September 11, 2001.

❗️Prime Minister of Poland Tusk: Dear American friends, Europe is your closest ally, not your problem. And we have common enemies. At least that's how it has been in the last 80 years. We need to stick to this, this is the only reasonable strategy of our common security. Unless something has changed.

Too bad Trump ended science because we should probably study this.
Daily cannabis use has surged in the U.S., fueled by ultra-potent vapes and concentrates. Doctors warn that while cannabis can help some people, the strongest products can blur the line between therapy and dependence in ways earlier generations never saw.
They relied on marijuana to get through the day. But then days felt impossible without it
As daily cannabis use rises to historic levels in the U.S., some longtime users are finding it harder to quit.
