This is not a situation where the President "didn't have time" to consult Congress. The military build-up unfolded over months, yet in all that time he never felt it necessary to make the case for war to anyone but himself.
One more run.
Famous last words.
If wannabe Nazis now confidently roam the halls of power—and the streets of American cities—it is because Republican leaders have made them feel at home.

Well holy fucking shit. Ring cancelled their partnership with Flock. Keep pressure on them to stop volunteering their feeds to state, local, and federal agencies, though, because that part's still going.
a society losing the plot in real time
Americans must have the right to bear arms so that they can resist tyranny. But if they exercise that right in a time of tyranny, they should expect to be shot and killed.
Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.
If calling a state secret police agent a murderer for committing murder will lead to more murder by the state secret police, it sure seems like the problem is with the secret police
Given that Trump's critics call it a kidnapping, and Trump says it's an apt term, I see no reason for the media not to use it. Literally both sides agree it's the proper description of what happened.
I sure wish law mattered.
This what we call in the biz: A dramatic heel turn. Welcome back to reality, Paul.
The problem with stories like this is that "regulations" can mean very, very different things to different people. It's easy to say "regulate AI." It's extremely difficult to come up with actual regulations that won't kick off another partisan shitshow fight once it gets distorted.
Again,
Ocarina had a 3ds remake that is pretty great.
Congress used to have the power of the purse and the power to declare war.
"But the really harsh lesson of Ukraine isn’t just that America is an unreliable defender. It’s that America may take the side of the aggressor."

Unmasking isn’t a switch you flip. It’s not “now I know I’m autistic, so now I just get to be myself.” Most of us spend years—sometimes decades—learning how to hide the parts of ourselves that didn’t fit. That mask doesn’t just come off in one piece.
"Low-trust" is a funny term because most of them end up distrusting the people they should trust and extended enormous credulity to those they shouldn't
Sit, you haven’t followed what @adamkinzinger.substack.com has done these last 5 years.
Kinzinger stood on principle and lost a career in politics by doing so. He has my respect for that, and very few Republicans had that courage.
Healthcare is really expensive, and many people are struggling to afford it. However, most people don’t know how it got this way. It boils down to the same problem the US has with literally everything else: it would have benefited Black people, so we allowed the states to discriminate.
Elaborating b/c there's a lot of misunderstanding on this.
Insurrection Act does nothing except you can then use soldiers as cops. They can enforce laws, but they're the same old laws. It doesn't suspend the Constitution. No martial law, no closing courts, no removing state officials, none of that.
Why are there so many undiagnosed adults who are only now discovering they're autistic or otherwise neurodivergent?
I have an explanation...
Pritzker: "Stephen Miller is clearly ordering people to break the law. So he should know that yeah, it may be three years from now that he is held accountable, but I think it's important for them to know that whatever they do now, it's not like we're going to forget."
“the constitution forbids race conscious remedies” would be news to the people who wrote the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments
Remember, according to the Republican Justices, it's okay to gerrymander for party advantage, not racial advantage. It's an unknowable distinction, but one that allows the Republicans to okay racist gerrymandering under the guise of political gerrymandering.
Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.
Honestly very impressed by Newsmax, the Washington Times, and the Washington Examiner.
They deserve credit precisely because they’re standing up for journalistic principle notwithstanding their ideological inclination.
Once American democracy made it possible for a Black man to be elected president, American conservatives decided that it had to be destroyed
