This is happening all over the country this week.

I'm incredibly grateful for every member of MAGA who have finally decided that enough is enough.

Spain’s MEP Irene Montero speaking to reporters

Irene Montero: No woman has ever been freed by American bombs or illegal aggression β€” Not in Syria. Not in Iraq. Not in Afghanistan. It will not happen in Iran either

When they want to sell their oil wars, their wars for profit, their imperial wars β€” they hide behind women’s rights to justify them

Now that Republicans have done Trump's bidding by blocking limits on his war powers, remember that in doing this, they are also relieving *themselves* of the obligation to vote on the enormously consequential decision of whether to go to war. Craven abdication.

On this day in 1922, German director #FWMurnau released the iconic expressionist silent movie #Nosferatu – Eine Symphonie des Grauens (A Symphony of Horror).

A lot of people say AI isn't very good for the world and its outputs are routinely unreliable, but these haters fail to see how it's revolutionizing how we incinerate schoolchildren.

I am back in D.C. to hear from cruel Kristi Noem on why she is complicit in the chaos happening at DHS, vote on a War Powers Resolution to rein Donald Trump in, and vote against a DHS funding bill that does nothing to address the reckless actions we’re seeing from ICE.

The work continues.

If every person who has attempted or plans to attend a No Kings March votes Blue in the midterm election Congress can be retaken. Think about what this simple act can accomplish. Be sure you double check that you are registered to vote well in advance. This is a very patriotic act .

A canceled Kennedy Center debut, a Carnegie Hall stage and De Niro reading 'Lincoln' Robert De Niro will appear this week at Carnegie Hall. He will read excerpts from a Philip Glass symphony about Abraham Lincoln that the composer once intended to stage at the Kennedy Center.

Watching video of Hillary Clinton at that worthless GOP deposition reminds me that even tho I'm a lefty and supposed to hate her, I don't. And I think she would've been an amazing president

you know what? If you come on here and you say, "There is no use in voting. We're never getting out of this by voting," you're going to get pushback. And you should.

If you have suggestions, fine. Make them, but right now, we are actually flipping districts that haven't been Democratic for 40 yrs

There was no imminent threat. The narrative keeps shifting. The nuclear claims are contradictory. So let’s start there.

As we just saw in the Pentagon press-con, there is no clear strategy.

This bipartisan Iran War Powers Resolution has been sitting with Speaker Johnson since June 2025.

DOJ's recent 6th Circuit filing misspelled:

Voters as β€œVotors”
Emergency as "Emeregency"
United States as "United Staes"

And, it included a non-party in the caption.

These are the people who want access to your sensitive voting records and who my team fights in court every day.

for those of you who werent adults during iraq, its hard to overstate how much the media loves war porn. they salivate over pentagon spin briefings. they love stories about all the bombs and how supposedly infallible they are. they love the notion of the commander in chief, in the situation room etc

Exactly. Blindly hooting for the Buffoon-in-Chief as he unlawfully orders airstrikes without a coherent plan isn't a foreign policy, and isn't patriotic; it's just stupid, and dangerous.

What gives me special insight is that I’m a Military Sexual Assault survivor, and that I was in that documentary about it that he made fun of
