The second America started allowing immigrants to come to New York City — which I peg at around maybe 2007 — everything went to hell

Trump is bombing Iran. So why does it feel like Biden is the one who started the war?

Key section of 1973 War Powers Res: president can take military action in three cases: a declaration of war, “specific statutory authorization” or “a national emergency created by attack upon” the US or its assets. *Congress has often looked the other way, but that’s the legal question.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.

Twenty years ago the Republican party stood for huge tax cuts for the rich and wars of choice in the middle east, but then Donald Trump totally remade the party and realigned American poltiics, and now the Republica party stands for...huge tax cuts for the rich and wars of choice in the middle east.

Whether it’s Joe Biden sending hurricane relief funds to rebuild red states or Donald Trump sending Marines and masked federal agents to terrorize blue states, both presidents have reached beyond their political bases.

This sort of thing is Resistance catnip, but it's not true and didn't happen All the filings in the case are available for anyone, online here: iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/Docum... Also: the "Supreme Court" in New York is just their trial-level court, basically the opposite of everywhere else

The stupidest people are in charge because we couldn’t prosecute a political crime because it would look too political.

I'm trying to imagine a Democratic president saying openly and proudly that he would be sending federal agents to target the 'Republican Power Center' in Texas, Florida, and Tennessee. We would be in the midst of a civil war before he'd finished saying those words.

The owner of Twitter sends out 100 right wing propaganda tweets every single day and the algorithm is set up so that every single person on Twitter has to see every single one of these tweets. Now here’s another piece about Blue Sky’s ideological diversity problem.

A leader of the MN House Democrats is murdered by a Republican pro-life activist. Rather than condemning political murder of his opponents, Elon Musk spreads the conspiracy theory that it was done by Democrats. Journalists don’t need to use any social media site. But they really shouldn’t use X.

1. Trump's tax cuts overwhelmingly help the rich 2. His spending cuts are targeted at the poor 3. Tariffs cost the poor a larger share of their income Roll these three regressive policies together and you get the largest redistribution from poor to rich in American history. The anti-Robin Hood.

In case you're wondering, authoritarians use this strategy of escalation to manufacture crisis, provoke outrage, then use the reaction to justify repression. It’s not about restoring order, it's about creating a spectacle of chaos they can claim only they can control.

By law, Trump can’t send them in without invoking the Insurrection Act. And there’s noting about these protests that would merit that. But he’s no longer really bound by the law, because there’s no mechanism other than impeachment to hold him accountable for breaking it. So who the hell knows.
