There is no legal justification, whatsoever, to use military force against a NATO ally like Greenland.
If any military member participates in this without congressional authorization, they are following illegal orders.
On October 18th, millions of brave Americans will stand up and peacefully protest against the authoritarian disease metastasizing under Donald Trump.
No Thrones. No Crowns. No Kings. @gtconway.bsky.social
You cannot trust information coming from Kash Patel's FBI. You cannot trust information coming from ICE. You cannot trust information coming the Trump administration. You cannot trust information coming from Republicans.
BREAKING: The House Oversight Committee just rejected Ghislaine Maxwell’s request for immunity in exchange for testimony.
No deal. No protection.
She wanted to name names without facing consequences
And they shut it down.
If she wants to talk, she’ll have to do it under oath and under pressure
GOP 2021: “The debt is out of control!
GOP 2022: “the debt is out of control!”
GOP 2023: “the debt is out of control
GOP 2024: “the debt is out of control!”
GOP 2025: ”let’s raise the debt ceiling $5 trillion!”
One problem is that Trump is always so anxious to declare victory and seek credit/adoration/prizes for it that he gets out in front of reality to create his fan fiction. It’s all about short-term “wins” for Trump and Fox news cycles, not anything lasting, durable, or sustainable.
A rogue president with a loyal DOJ isn’t unstoppable, unless we act like peasants. Courts can stop him. States can sue him. Whistleblowers can expose him. But it takes all of us, loud, sharp, fed up. Power bends to pressure. So push. Hard. Clean House with your votes, or get steamrolled. Our call.
Yesterday, TX Rep. Keith Self (R) quoted Nazi Joseph Goebbels on controlling public opinion🤬
Using Nazi propaganda is more than vile; it’s a flashing red siren. This is how democracy dies: not with a bang, but with silence in the face of fascist rot.
America, do not be silent.
Call out evil.
I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.
21 State Attorneys General are urging America’s legal community to stand together in defense of the rule of law.
We must not falter in our resolve to uphold the U.S. Constitution and the rule of law.
Our democracy depends on it. oag.ca.gov/news/press-r...
no offense to Jeff but if you are alleging the head editor of the Atlantic was cunning enough to circumvent all your security safeguards that kinda makes you sound even worse
Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.
This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.
Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.
And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).
. @dougjones.bsky.social weighs in on the Oval Office ambush 🔥
“The President has made the United States of America, the greatest country in the history of this planet….look weak…run by a couple of junior high school kids who would rather argue in a locker room than discuss…peace & security.”
Lee Zeldin was on Fox today talking about clawing back money lawfully appropriated to organizations by legislation like the Inflation Reduction Act simply bc Trump doesn't like it. This is an especially egregious example of how Trumpers have redefined "fraud" to just mean "spending I disagree with."
This story can't be repeated enough. The GOP is lined up behind the guy who is so incompetent that his quasi-gov't agency did this. They're confirming his highly questionable nominees & hurting the American people.
And "accidentally"? It was stupidity, not accident. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...
Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"
WOW! Cory Booker isn't holding back!
"There can be no bystanders in this fight. It is time that we understand the only thing necessary for wrong to triumph is for right to do nothing, for right to be silent."
New in PN: @daviddejong.bsky.social on the pact with the devil
“Prior to Hitler seizing power, German industrialists were establishment conservatives and found Hitler and his supporters to be garish, boorish, uniformed clowns from impoverished areas. And then ... "
Donald Trump just took an oath to "preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States" on the same day he will try to end birthright citizenship, a constitutional right
I’m done with X or Twitter or whatever they call it. Deleted my account after I was blocked for posting I’d like to slap the smile off Watters face on Fox.
