Let me be clear: The President does not have the authority to attack Iran. Only the Congress has the constitutional power to declare war. President Trump must work to end this conflict — not drag us further into it.

The President does not have the authority to make this decision. There is no imminent threat to America from Iran. He cannot take this action without congressional authorization. I will not vote to give him that authority, and I likely represent the majority of Congress.

How long did that reversal last? Three days?

Well, that didn't last long. DHS told staff it was reversing guidance issued last week that agents were not to conduct immigration raids at farms, hotels and restaurants. Shadow President Stephen Miller wins again. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

🚨 There’s a lot of horrific news out of Washington right now—but you might have missed this: Senate Republicans just introduced a plan to sell off 120 million acres of our public lands. Let me break down what’s in the bill and why it’s a full-scale land grab. 🧵

Damselflies are hemimetabolous, which have larval stages with identifiable head, thorax, and abdomen (compare to something like a butterfly that has a caterpillar stage with a very different morphology). This American rubyspot nymph is about to transition to its adult stage 1/n

This is sickening. Not only because of all the work that is wasted by PIs, but also because of all the incredible research that is being cancelled, much of it around global change stressors and how biodiversity will respond.

Last February, I led a proposal submission that encompassed six months, hundreds of hours, four institutions, a massive team, and and 256 pages. NSF just informed us that the entire Biology Integration Institute program was archived and our proposal would not even be reviewed. With a form email.

Trump’s claim that New York has a high crime rate is another sign of him living in the past. NYC’s homicide rate is significantly lower than the national rate and has plummeted since 1990.

Trump declares war on cities “We must expand efforts to detain & deport Illegal Aliens in America’s largest Cities, such as LA, Chicago, & NY, where Millions of Illegal Aliens reside. These, & other Cities, are core of the Dem Power Center, where they use Illegal Aliens to expand their Voter Base”

Brennan is just wrong here. Lazy journalism based on assumptions, old data, and misinformation. Shows you how much damage certain high-profile pundits can do to the information environment. It’s very easy to just look at all the data, like we do: www.gelliottmorris.com/p/all-the-po...

two sitting senators propagating a vile lie about the murder of a democratic politician and attempted murder of another because the killer shares their own beliefs, which are not controversial within the party, is egregiously immoral conduct and reporters should reference it in those terms.

I know a lot of folks like this account. But this is a wild, and unhelpful, exaggeration--it's a resistance version of sean spicer. It veers into #resistanceporn and trades accuracy for clout, like other "blue maga" grifters on here. Pls consider finding other sources of inspiration/news/motivation

The Minnesota assassin appears to be a hate-filled right winger. So can we stop walking on eggshells about MAGA's legitimization of political violence? Yes, Republicans have also been the target of inexcusable violence, but this isn't a "both sides" issue. 1/ A🧵on the danger.

I'm going to restrict myself to one (two part) comment, which is: 1) the entire range runs from execs making 290x what their workers make to execs making 350x what their workers make, and 2) this should frame everything else such execs encourage you to be mad about

According to the latest WaPo/Schar School poll, Trump’s handling of deportations has 37% approval, 52% disapproval. And Quinnipiac has it at 40% approval, 56% disapproval. But @facethenation.bsky.social insists “public approval is so high on deportation.”

The number of people arguing with this number because “Alt National Park Service said it was 11 million” is kind of staggering to me. Folks, Alt NPS is not real, okay? None of the “alt” accounts are. They don’t have special knowledge. They pulled that number out of thin air/their ass

The Tea Party protests in April 2009 had about a third of a million people involved, and the political media treated it like a game changer for the Obama presidency. The No Kings rallies were AT LEAST ten times bigger than the Tea Party protests. Will the press keep pretending Trump is popular?

The NIH's scientifically illegitimate leadership is acting illegally. There is no negotiated path to restoring funding that does not further degrade universities and undermine science. Courts and elections...that's it.

You can always count on The New York Times to minimize the scale and impact of protest. Yesterday's 2000+ No Kings actions smashed records for the most demonstrations in a single day. So the Times decided to publish a horseshit map of just a handful of "confirmed locations." We're not fooled.
