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.

No Miller didn't stroke out like Mitch.

He just told everyone what their next plan is. This falls right in line with the rest of the regime's actions since the start of the coup in 2016.

Plenary Authority. Sounds like something a tyrannical fascist regime would invoke for control.

Any mention of Golden Dome just makes me think of Trump's head, and the vacant space inside it.

Sorry, but you're wrong on a couple of points.

A long ton is referred to in the UK as an Imperial ton, but is no longer used, having been excluded from use in commerce since 1985. It was replaced with the metric TONNE. Weights and measures for trade are metric in the UK.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Mate, I'm British. What I said is correct.

And what you just said contradicts itself. If you're paying for something through your taxes, it isn't free. What it is though, is more equitable and more affordable.

Rorty Sorbet @rortysorbet.bsky.social · 1d

The difference being, Great Britain wasn't ruled at the time by a psychopathic tyrant with desires to be a dictator, the country was not descending towards a fascist state, and there was a free press here, reporting events.

It's not free exactly, it's just paid for as a small percentage tax, collected at source on earnings. So, it's never unaffordable, and everyone is covered. It is free at the point of delivery. The system costs HALF the amount of US healthcare due to it being not for profit and state run.

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s.

This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.

This is how Russians recruited spies from criminals in Slovakia, to work for them and overturn following elections. This was recorded by their police, but their attempts to destroy this spy network were obviously unsuccessful, considering who won.

Anastasiia Hrytsiv and her family were killed by the Russian strike on Lviv region last night.

Anastasiia's school wrote about her death.

She had her life ahead of her, but Russia's damned war against Ukraine took the lives of the whole family.

Deepest condolences...

As a retired journalism professor, I believe every newsroom in America must now develop Civil War Protocols: how it will conduct the profession of journalism when Donald Trump declares martial law and systematically ends our democracy. If your newsroom isn't prepared for this, it's rank malpractice.

Frank Zappa warned on CNN in the 1980s:

“The biggest threat to #America today is not communism. It’s moving America toward a fascist theocracy… Reagan administration is steering us right down that path.”

He was dismissed and laughed at.
