Trump has been illegally bombing boats off the coast of Venezuela.

Tim Kaine and Adam Schiff forced a vote on reasserting Congress's role over war powers and ending this reckless
warmongering.

It failed 48-51.

Murkowski and Paul voted yes.

Fetterman voted no.

In all seriousness, I just don't think republican electeds realize what their spending budgets would ACTUALLY be as a government without most sized cities and a number of states.

But hey, that gold garbage in the White House looks garbage as hell, so 🤷

🧵 Trump is criminally invading states under false pretenses. His supporters are trying to instigate violence by dressing as antifa and committing crimes.

In this clip from Portland, Joey Gibson of "Patriot Prayer" and his fiancée, Lindsey Nichols, tried to cause trouble before being forced away.

On the anniversary of his murder, when he was hacked to death by mercenaries hired by Saudi Arabia, Jamal Khashoggi is beautifully remembered by another writer they have tried to silence, Karen Attiah. Important reading for us all.

Karen Attiah @karenattiah.bsky.social · 6d

Washington Post dismantled the platform Jamal wrote on. Discarded the fellowship they created in his memory.

They fired me unjustly for speaking the truth.

But I’ll never stop talking about my friend, writer, and amazing human, Jamal Khashoggi.

RIP, Jamal.

The large number of reassignments reflect a vast reshaping of the agency and could put other priorities at risk.

that’s a very good reason to do so but also if you need a second one Wells Fargo let someone wash a check of mine, cash it for all the money in my checking account (which they only could have known if they had an employee on the inside) and then refused to extend me credit and stalled on reversing
