Ex-Trump National Security Advisor Nadia Schadlow: “Congress does not have a constitutional role in the declaration of war.”
@ezraklein.bsky.social : *READS HER THE CONSTITUTION* 🤔
It's the beginning of history - and an era where we'll see thorough tests of the assumptions of the AI bubble as a result of the war in Iran and the economic and social chaos to follow.
It's time to stop using the past as a guide to what happens next.

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.
I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.
1/ Here's what I can share:
This is U.S. foreign policy now: maximal devastation and chaos, minimal planning and goals, and a dose of haberdashery. We’re just leapfrogging from slogan to slogan, from war to war. Graham will be there, every time, to cheer it on. trib.al/VTC3y9B
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson sharply criticized the Supreme Court for being quick to issue rulings that have temporarily allowed some of President Trump’s controversial policies to stand while legal challenges against them play out in the courts. https://wapo.st/4s2Wiqg
On this International Women's Day, please don't forget all the women in this detention facility. This is Leqaa Kordia, a NJ resident:
"An Immigration judge has now twice ordered my release on bond, but ICE used procedural loopholes each time to keep me confined."

Conservatives are currently pursuing a national strategy to ban grace periods for ballots sent through the mail. The U.S. Supreme Court will issue a ruling that could eliminate grace periods across the country.
Iran's government is more hardline, its people are poorer and more isolated, the region's on fire, and the global economy feels like its about to go into shock
If you want to know why people wanted to avoid war with Iran for so long, you're finding out in real time
We're in uncharted territory- if WTI crude holds these gains tomorrow- the current rise of 29.9% or $27.16/bbl would be its largest single day price jump- in both percent and amount- ever. Ever. EVER.
Add this to the attacks as well...

Republicans do not care about children being shot in US schools....
....they won't care about children being killed in Iranian schools

Other cultures and societies around the world have a long-term view. The U.S. does not.
Amen and ameen!
(I've been saying to myself all week that we Americans need to realize that other countries aren't just failed attempts at being or becoming us... we're being left far behind, and the world is moving on without us at the center...)
A true leader worries about his people dying, and is not afraid to show it
Where was Trump when those flag draped coffins came home yesterday?
The fuck kind of answer is this
Turns out lawlessness is not a winning strategy. See you at Nuremberg 2.0
Texas politics have usually been nasty. This is blatant voter suppression.
Pete Hegseth's crazed rants at reporters reveal that Trump's rationales for attacking Iran are incoherent, confused, and based on lies. Dems don't have to take refuge in criticizing Trump's war on purely procedural grounds. They can go much harder. 1/

Nothing women have comes without a fight.
The progress you see was built through organizing and persistence.
We’re not done. ✊🏽

The convoluted semantics are absurd. Thank you, Alex Pretti, for trying to protect another human being.
“To initiate a war of aggression, therefore, is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole.”

The Fourteenth Amendment says this in no uncertain terms: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States.” trib.al/bWFkA4u
Hey can anyone tell me why this guy isn’t being compared to a “Fetterman 2.0” risk when his politics much more closely reflect a DINO risk than you know who?
We are learning about drone warfare — tragically — in real time.

No more middle of the road democrats who see compromise and bipartisanship as the correct path. That attitude doesn’t work with fascists. We punch Nazis here.
Trump has been enabled by the GOP to be a blatant war-mongering, pedophile, racist, fascist, wanna-be dictator.
Vote against ALL GOP candidates this year.
