This will be another forever war www.bbc.com/news/live/cn...

Jeffries: The reason the Constitution—and the wisdom of the framers—gives Congress the exclusive power to declare war and authorize military force is so there can be an informed public debate.

They were supposed to be deporting “gang members” and “criminals.” So far, they have kidnapped people working their day jobs and folks lawfully showing up for their immigration court appearances… It was always a lie.

Damn right!!!

NEW: The DHS has issued a heightened terror threat for Americans. Good thing we have that 22 year old former gardener in charge of counterterrorism and DHS is busy with mass deportation. www.dhs.gov/ntas/advisor...

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.

I feel like dynamic on Iran is being missed. Trump legit imagined he could make peace [deal he rejected 8 years ago], just like he imagined he could make peace in Ukraine, in both cases just on basis of his whatever. Putin has been exploiting that stupidity in Ukraine, & Bibi has one-upped Putin.

When does the “great” part start?

This makes me hopeful ☺️ @neptune45.bsky.social

Trump: "We all know the Prime Minister of the UK and we just signed a document...So we have our trade agreement with the European Union." The UK is not a member of the European Union.

NEW: The American Bar Association is suing Trump over his attacks on law firms. Here's a gift link for more info: wapo.st/4le2DLL

WE HAVE QUESTIONS… This is a kidnapping. No uniform, no badge, civilian car. Who are they? ICE? Sanctioned bounty hunters? Either way, they’re grabbing people without warrants. How often is this happening, and why aren’t more people talking about it? Congress?

Hey there Scott Walker. I noticed you deleted this after learning that in fact the shooter was from the right. I don’t think it matters either way, violence is violence, so I’m waiting for you to tweet the same thing with corrected facts? Cuz you’re uh, to use your words, “being silent.”

@amyklobuchar.com Why was the murderer not charged with “premeditated murder”

X knocks me again. I get hateful content. The White House post Kill them, among other things, and I get this 😂

My law firm is currently litigating 55 voting and election cases in 24 states. Two points: This is a very large caseload for this point in the election cycle. It is more evenly spread across states than usual which reflects the creep of voter suppression laws into even safe GOP states.
