Our Constitution is clear: Only Congress has the power to declare war. Yet, administrations too often bypass this fundamental check, plunging us into conflicts that cost countless lives, drain our resources, and destabilize entire regions. We cannot allow this to happen again.

Tonight, I appeared on @amanpourcopbs.bsky.social to share the consequential legacy of my longtime friend, Melissa Hortman, an amazing leader for Minnesota. She and her husband Mark were taken from us far too soon.

Sen. Alex Padilla on the Senate floor: "If that is what the administration is willing to do to a United States senator for having the authority to simply ask a question, imagine what they'll do to any American who dares to speak up." "I pray you never have a moment like this."

I just tried to pre-order the Trump T1 Phone, the new all gold phone from the Trump Organization. The website failed, went to an error page, and then charged my credit card the wrong amount of $64.70. I have no idea whether or how I’ll receive the phone. www.404media.co/trump-mobile...

Rick Riordan is one of the Good Guys in publishing. With his Disney-Hyperion imprint 'Rick Riordan Presents', he's opened up the hard-to-break-into field of middle grade lit to marginalized voices, giving us great series like Aru Shah, Tristian Strong, Shadow Crosser, Sal & Gabi and Paola Santiago.

No Kings protestors outnumbered Trump parade attenders by at least fifty to one. Also, protestors were marching with creative signs rather than sitting on their butts and staring at their phones. Here’s why all that’s bad news for Joe Biden.

i had a multi-day spiral about news media functionally treating the military marching into los angeles as a crass overstep but still basically in the realm of normal political theater and not what it actually is, a move to occupy and suppress democratic cities, the thing he is now saying out loud

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?

Just want to take a moment to shout out the international reporters helping us get the real story out. When an 80-year-old veteran with a walker is hauled off with his hands zip-tied behind his back, and the media spins it as a “threatening breach” of a police barricade

I thought I was losing my mind when this happened because it was an attempted assassination of a national political leader and it was treated like it was nothing.

All the credit that Tim Walz got as a VP candidate for good stuff that Minnesota has done? Melissa Hortman (and a bunch of other women) led the hard fight to get bills on his desk and make it politically safe for him to sign.

Whoa! Hats off to ABC News reporter Matt Gutman for keeping his cool yesterday. This LAPD officer needs to be relieved of duty if he can’t handle an alleged “touch” without snapping.
