Sen. Adam Schiff @schiff.senate.gov · 2h

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.

Why didn't Democratic Senators ask Pam Bondi why she didn't prosecute Jeffrey Epstein when she was Florida's Attorney General from 2011 to 2019 at the very time he was running his child sex ring in Florida?!!

I had a dream last night about General Milley, whom I believe is a good man who honors his oath of office. In the dream I gave him a kiss on the cheek, then whispered, "I wish." Then I saw the face of his wife, and I didn't want to hurt her. Don't think old people don't have sexual fantasies.

Many Hispanic voters are conservative, but the Republican party is now extreme and authoritarian. Democrats remain center-left.

These Bay Area residents left the Democratic Party. Here’s why they’re joining Republicans

The comments on this post are … something. The lack of empathy, political imagination, and strategic thinking is troubling. C’mon folks. Ben points out a vulnerability and lever (the NG troops who could become allies against these deployments) and the replies are like, “Nope. Eff that. Eff them.”

Remember: These are not MAGA stormtroopers. These are everyday teachers and accountants who signed up to serve their country with their spare time. They're being used as political pawns by venal, un-American, draft-dodging president

Renewables overtake coal as world's biggest source of electricity

Developing countries lead the historic clean energy charge but the US and EU rely more on fossil fuels than before, a think tank study shows.

If you're considering buying any silver or gold items on the primary or secondary markets, I suggest doing so now, as it looks like the price of both will rise further for a while, thus affecting the retail price of goods made from precious metals.

"Florida state Rep. Kevin Steele (R) filed a bill Tuesday that threatens state funding to public universities and colleges if they do not rename specific roads after slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

“I’m absolutely disgusted that health insurance premiums will DOUBLE if the tax credits expire this year,” Greene wrote, a message that Minority Leader Chuck Schumer read aloud on the Senate floor Tuesday morning. "Rep. Greene is absolutely right," he said.

Exactly. Myths and fantasy don't count as evidence in the real world, and those should not be taken seriously in a court of law either.
