Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has a national following. The midterms will test whether she can turn that into political power.

How convenient for @repmikejohnson.bsky.social to have sent Congress home until after the midterms, so no motions against this traitorous act can be heard! This is nothing short of treason, making Johnson complicit, & he & all @houserepublicans.bsky.social involved need to be held accountable!

If Reuters’ reporting is correct, whoever gave that order to shut down Starlink on Ukraine from the White House has blood on their hands & should be held to account. Where’s Congress? Don’t tell me, they’re on yet ANOTHER RECESS! (They get paid $170,000/yr for working 1/2 a yr so more like $340,000)
Aiding and abetting the enemy is...(checks notes)...called treason. Causing innocent civilians to be killed is...(checks notes)...called crimes against humanity and a war crime. Seriously, what the fuck is being done in our name, with our money?
