What am I worried about? -Safety of 30k US troops in the Middle East -cybersecurity (since CISA was recently gutted) & homeland security (as HLS focused on immigration) -Economic strength (oil prices and tariffs) -Allied assistance (we’ll need that now) -Domestic intell (leadership at FBI/DNI)

We should all be saluting the Senate Parliamentarian who is defending the rules vs. lawless, rapacious Senate R's. Knocking out a host of reprehensible policy items that do not comply with reconcilliation rules. It is not an easy task. This is what it means to take responsibility for our democracy.

In an article on Mahmoud Khalil's release, the NYTimes notes he was detained on the grounds of "a rarely cited law from the mid-20th century." They don't tell you that this law was originally used primarily to deport Eastern European Jews, including Holocaust survivors, as suspected Communists.

He just dropped $280,000,000 worth of artillery in a war that’s not ours, but our grandparents have to live on Ramen noodles because America can’t afford Meals on Wheels anymore. Make it make sense.

You cannot say you are for democracy and rule of law but give Trump a pass on constitutional and War Powers Resolution requirements. You cannot. The essence of democracy and rule of law is to uphold both despite an outcome you like.

On February 7th 2003, defense secretary Donald Rumsfeld told soldiers based in Europe that the Iraq war “could last six days, six weeks. I doubt six months.” It lasted eight years. Get loud in your opposition now. We can’t go through this again.

This feels like the long tail of the worst effect of covid on the personal behavior of so many. It wont happen to me so I absolutely do not need to change my behavior and if you even suggest I should for the sake of other people, you’re assaulting me and I will fight you.

BREAKING: The US says it is optimistic that the Iran war will be as quick and easy as the 20-year war with Afghanistan when we replaced the Taliban with the Taliban ♥️

The American people were lied to about Vietnam, with tragic consequences. The American people were lied to about Iraq, with tragic consequences. The American people are being lied to again today. We cannot allow history to repeat itself.
