🀣🀣🀣 I changed mine yesterday, for the first time in about a year.

I can’t possibly answer this question without dying of embarrassment lol. Threads must have surfaced this post in an effort at a collective shaming ritual πŸ˜†

GOP Senator Goes Nuclear on Rand Paul: β€˜I Understand Completely Why His Neighbor’ Attacked Him "Rand Paul’s a freaking snake. And I understand completely why his neighbor did what he did. And I told him that to his face."

When your Homeland Security nomination has to go through the Homeland Security Committee, whose chairman you called β€œa freaking snake” who deserved to get beaten up by his neighbor πŸ€·β€β™€οΈπŸ˜‚

Where did all the competent people go?! That’s…a pretty wild mistake. Or a panicked reversal.

Yeah I was starting to think they were just going to get away with it. The revelations about what went on with that grand jury were genuinely jaw dropping.

Utterly insane. Which is why I have to say, I feel a lot of respect for the three who tried to reassert Congress’s war powers this week 🫑

And the Fourth Amendment. I just remembered she violated the Fourth Amendment.

Oh and the Fifth 🀣 She told the grand jury Comey would have to testify at trial

Mitt Romney said that loads of his colleagues told him they wanted to vote to convict, but were terrified of their families receiving threats. Or losing a primary FFS πŸ™„

So 2026 happened and now I’m sitting here as a β€œradical left lunatic” who is *deathly afraid* that he’ll lose his primary because of that guy in the Oval Office. This is a legit source of anxiety for me now. Thank you world, what a time to be alive πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«

So I was wondering why reading Massie’s second paragraph reminded me of that hideous β€œit’s Supreme Court opinions day and now the world is all wrong” feeling.

Long story short, I learned a new term:

CONSTITUTIONAL GRIEF.

Holy shit.

I’m going to do that β€œWTF I’m so frustrated and angry WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU” crying, commonly associated with Supreme Court opinion days 😫

β€œThat's the exact circumstance in which the Founders intended for Congress to authorize war, but sadly we've now abdicated that responsibility.”

That’s three Republicans across two votes who showed moral courage and personal integrity by standing for the Constitution: Thomas Massie, Warren Davidson, and Rand Paul.

And five Democrats who didn’t: Henry Cuellar, Jared Golden, Greg Landsman, Juan Vargas, and John Fetterman.

β€œFour Democrats β€” Representatives Henry Cuellar of Texas, Jared Golden of Maine, Greg Landsman of Ohio and Juan C. Vargas of California β€” broke with their party…”

I’m not sure why they even bother swearing oaths these days, do they do it with their fingers crossed behind their backs?

President Trump just announced on social media that Kristi Noem is out at the Department of Homeland security. He wants Senator Markwayne Mullin to replace her.

(Republican) Rep. Warren Davidson on today's war powers vote: "...the moral hazard posed by a government no longer constrained by our Constitution is a grave threat."

Fact check: True!!!!!!!
