No dumb wars.
No elite impunity.
These principles led to Rep. Thomas Massie & my work on the two most consequential matters of this Congress.
The Epstein Transparency Act & Iran WPR.
We are standing with the people against a corrupted government that has sold us out.
Most Americans disapprove of President Trump's handling of Iran, and a majority sees Iran as either only a minor threat or no threat at all, an NPR/PBS News/Marist poll finds. n.pr/47wG5Bh
British Columbia is switching their clocks for the last time this Sunday.
There's a lot going on in the world right now, but there is NO reason to not make daylight saving time permanent.
Congress should pass my bill to finally lock the clock.
Noem’s firing made something clear: Trump can be forced to retreat when Democrats go on the attack, expose his incompetent and dishonest lackeys, and effectively use free media.
We need more of that, Democrats.
I think they might have better luck spending two thousand dollars holding a press conference where they detail who made the key decisions to collaborate with the Trump administration, how and when they were fired, and explaining what would stop that from happening again.
He doesn’t care about you. He never has.
What does this imply for those of us who are not Christian, and who labor under the assumption that we're protected by the First Amendment?
If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.
I’m frankly a bit surprised Trump fired Noem. It shows weakness and reminds people that accountability is possible.
Out with the callous dipshit, in with the callous dipshit
Congress needs to RE-CALIBRATE FAST:
This is NOT about "whether to fund" Trump's monarchical war.
This is about IMPEACHING and CONVICTING and REMOVING him from office for this, yet ANOTHER high crime of abusing the Presidency and using the US military WITHOUT PERMISSION.
Kristi Noem, Pam Bondi, and Kash Patel have all lied to Congress under oath.
Accountability shouldn't be and can't be optional.
The year is 2015. Pete Hegseth recklessly hits a man on live TV with a throwing ax.
The year is 2019. Pete Hegseth declares he hasn't washed his hands in 10 years and doesn't believe in germs.
The year is 2026. Pete Hegseth, now with the power of the U.S. military at his fingertips...
war overseas, war in american cities, the largest tax increase on the middle class in history…no reason for any of this just stupid people doing stupid things and making your life worse
When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.
It’s hard to have a coherent message when your leader’s motives are fractious, changing every five minutes, and distorted through myriad mental health issues.
Bernie Sander’s 2028 litmus test would strangle America’s golden goose
Surprise! The Jeff Bezos-owned Washington Post is against my 5% billionaire wealth tax. I wonder why?
If enacted, Bezos would owe $12 billion in taxes, and an average family of 4 would receive a $12,000 direct payment.
Poor Jeff would be left with just $224 billion to survive.
KAINE: To wage offensive war, the framers of the Constitution were absolutely plain that you gotta come to Congress
KERNEN: But it's almost a moot point
KAINE: Let me just underline the fact that I made an argument about the Constitution and you said it's a 'moot point.' I don't believe that
It will be the kids of poor families and the middle class that die. It will be working families that pay the costs. The Epstein class will not suffer.
politicize the heck out of everything
polarize the heck out of everything
trump is deeply unpopular
jar people out of their algorithmic torpor and get them to take sides
they will mostly side against trump
so
politicize the heck out of everything
polarize the heck out of everything
CNN-SSRS poll:
59% of Americans disapprove of Trump's decision to take military action in Iran
60% do not think Trump has a clear plan for handling the situation
62% say Trump should get congressional approval for any further military action
Q: "Do you think that Donald Trump should be deposed by this Committee?"
Hillary Clinton: "Absolutely."
"Donald Trump has been held civilly liable for sexual assault by a jury of his peers … That is behavior that fits a pattern if one were looking for a pattern."
I still believe he’s trying to distract from Epstein
I think Trump has made a fatal error that could hasten the end of American Fascism under the right circumstances. I’m not saying it’s a done deal by any means, and I’m not saying there isn’t intense danger ahead, but it really feels like he stepped right into a motherfucker of a mess.
Trump: "Finally, we honor one more American soldier, a fallen warria of world. Of wars. And really, terra.”
HE JUST POTENTIALLY STARTED WORLD WAR 3, NOBODY CAN AFFORD GROCERIES, AND HE’S TALKING ABOUT HIS FUCKING BALLROOM
At least the families of the fallen have this to comfort them.
We are living under the dumbest fucking dictator that has ever existed and I know that’s daunting and upsetting but let’s just take a little solace in that fact as we seek to overthrow these fascists.
As a historian, I'd just like to remind the politicians who follow me that it is not, in fact, 2003 anymore and the current GOP war in the Middle East is not, in fact, even remotely popular.
So if you're a weathervane who just tries to do what's already popular, full-throated opposition is it!
