Ossoff: "The president owes Americans a real explanation. 2am posts on Truth Social just aren't good enough when you're sending Americans into combat. He was dancing at his beach club the same night he ordered air crews to launch into combat & hours before our service members endured missile salvos"
U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1.5 trillion.
Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits.
The military industrial complex is cheering today.
Iran did not pose an immediate threat to the United States. Trump has admitted this is a regime change war. He did this without congressional authorization. This is an unconstitutional action. Worse, he clearly has no plan for what comes next. Itβs a Mad King war.
Newsom: Weβve got to deal with the bullshit from the other side β the propaganda networks, the 24/7 swift-boating the likes of which weβve never seen aided by billionaires who are consolidating the media, aided and abetted by people bending down on their knees to suck up to this administration β
βItβs no longer a political calculus. Itβs a moral and legal and Constitutional obligation of Congress to [impeach]. It would be a violation of the oath of office for a member of Congress not to push for impeachment when it is possible.β
30 years.
This video should be on every network.
Democracy is dying in America.
ICE is a murderous secret police force. Weβre about to bomb Iran for Israel. Your kids are shot at in school daily, and pedophiles run our government. Thereβs no healthcare, and your food is poisonous.
We need real leaders - not career politicians.
ICE "should be abolished, but also it should be prosecuted" - Democratic Rep. @sethmoulton.bsky.social, from the centrist wing of the party, tells me he wants his party leadership to go further than just reforming ICE. Doing that is "no longer believable."

The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M to detain 4k people. Of those- only 30 were accused of violent crimes.
$9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst".

Speak Truth..
When oligarchs talk of βpersonal liberties and free marketsβ they mean their own liberties to become even richer and more powerful.
When oligarchs speak of βfreedom,β what they actually seek is freedom from accountability.
Know the truth.
"detaining" anyone who veers from the white Christian nationalist agenda, I.e., naughty people like us?
@velshi.com I don't believe for one moment that all those for-profit "detention centers" are being built to house undocumented immigrants alone. Trump always push things to the limit, especially when there's money to be squeezed out of taxpayers. Would you really be surprised if they start
When you agree to pass 5 of 6 appropriations bills, then you later agree to pass funding for everything that is in the 6th bill except for one agency (ICE) that has already been prefunded in a previous bill, you are giving up every bit of leverage you have and selling out.
AOC: We are going to have to reckon, as a country, with this time. And I hope that that reckoning includes prosecution of people who are involved with the lawbreaking and human rights violations they are knowingly engaging in right now.
βA few days ago, sunspot 4366 didn't exist. Now it is a behemoth almost half the size of the great Carrington sunspot. Rapid growth is making the sunspot unstable. It has unleashed dozens of solar flares in past 24 hours, including a powerful X8-class flareβ www.spaceweather.com
π¨π¨π¨ Trump murdered an ICU nurse THEN called him a terrorist.
Alex Pretti saved lives for a living.
Trump repaid this American citizen with TEN BULLETS and is now lying about it.
Anyone who supports this brutal lynching should be considered an accomplice and dealt with accordingly. π¨π¨π¨
remove financial incentives for satisfying arrest quotas. As for unmasking and body cameras, that goes without saying. And don't be afraid to call ICE what it is, Trump's fascist goon squad.
@aoc.bsky.social Representative AOC, were it up to me, ICE would be abolished. Since I'm not calling the shots, I ask that future negotiations about the DHS budget and ICE include two preconditions, viz, to limit the number of ICE agents to a number fewer than the current 22,000, and to
AOC on ICE: Itβs our task to figure out how to claw back what has essentially supercharged this agency into becoming a relentless domestic paramilitary that is also a blank check to Palantir to create facial-recognition scans on U.S. citizens.
@theweekendmsnow.bsky.social Why Tulsi Gabbard? Well, what do you think Maduro would be willing to say about Tulsi's fave conspiracy theory, viz., foreign interference in the 2020 election, in order to win his freedom? Just sayin'.
"I was only following orders" wasn't an acceptable excuse at the Nuremberg trials & won't work now.
