"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."
-Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953
Great summary of an awful bill. Would also gut the ability for military, veteran and civilian Americans who live abroad (most for family reasons!) to vote : www.democratsabroad.org/urgent_prote...
Must read . Call your Senators now to stop the SAVE (maga) act
In just a few moments, I will vote against the so-called SAVE America Act and I am a strong no. That's because this bill would place unnecessary burdens on millions of women and eligible citizens to register to vote and make their voices heard. It is un-American & undermines our democracy.
Amid these dark moments, something important is beginning to shift.
It's clearly the result of healthy political pressure - which we must sustain, and build.
Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him.
“When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."
A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.
AOC: If you can keep people divided, then you can continue to loot the economy.
They are they are trying to distract from the fact that prices have exploded, that people's health insurance is being stripped, $1 trillion out of health care to fund this violence.
Noem:
"An individual approached US border patrol officers... The officers attempted to disarm this individual, but the armed suspect reacted violently."
Video footage from multiple angles proves that this is outright bullshit.
Alex Pretti did not approach ICE officers nor did he react violently.
AOC: They need 10 Democratic votes in the Senate to pass, continued unfettered ICE funding with no guardrails. Regardless of where you are in the Democratic party, this moment proves that the status quo cannot stand
I would implore my Democratic colleagues in the senate to vote no
Oh my gosh you guys! The House just passed my bill to extend the health care tax credits for three more years!

EXCLUSIVE: I received a copy of the letter sent to developers today halting construction on all 5 offshore wind farms being built in America.
What’s new here is the close “coordination” with the “Department of War” in determining the “risk” poised by these wind farms. And the threat to “cancel.”
Korea is flexing here with this highly artistic floating solar farm, newly commissioned days ago.
47.2 MW of capacity located near the 50 MW Imha hydroelectric dam. The modules are arranged into the shape of Korea’s flag and the Mugunghwa, Korea’s national flower.

DeLauro: The president went to the supreme court to deprive kids of food. Unbelievable. And now wants to deny their parents healthcare.
