Waiting for a complaint to be filed against "Department of Defense d/b/a Department of War".
Where do you suppose he got the idea of a "special military operation"?
Do all the progressives ceaselessly demanding that the filibuster be abolished, and confirming anyone pointing out the risks, realize they are on the same side as Trump?
Trump says he won't sign bills until Congress overhauls voting : NPR share.google/prQ1WcwuKDR0...
The basic premise that Iran, Venezuela, and Cuba have awful regimes no one should support is obviously true but Trump is neither ending the regimes nor has any plan to counter the main rogue int’l actor— Ru— which is reaping collateral benefits as we speak. apple.news/ACnA6QjgxR8O...
My latest on why the Administration's attacks on Minnesota's management of Medicaid and food assistance programs are completely unfounded. Their own data shows that Minnesota is better than most and far better than several red states the Administration ignores.

Floored by the ignorance of so many mainstream media outlets calling him "the new Ayatollah". Iran is at the center of a massive war and serious people cannot bother to differentiate between a religious title (which he currently lacks) and a political one (Supreme Leader) that he just received.
This is what ecocide looks like.
This is the Israeli playbook from Gaza (and Putin's in Ukraine for that matter) and it is ultra-disturbing to see the US carry out repeated attacks on civilian infrastructure. It simply does not serve a military purpose.
Useful 🧵 on how plans for a ground war are unmoored from reality. Saddam Hussein, who had the most convenient possible staging area and no qualms about rules of engagement, tried invading Iran. It proved a disaster. And it's hard to see our experiences in Afghanistan and Iraq as worthy of repetition
I can recall some other regimes that were marching through the world with wars of choice. Are those really the models we want to adopt?

We will never know whether the Weather Service would have made a better forecast, and saved lives, if DOGE had not gutted it. DOGE should be part of every story on govtl failure.

Knew this was coming, eventually.
The people you should never listen to again are:
1) Any MAGA, because they lied about exactly what we knew they were going to do and what the results would be
2) The centrist pundit class
3) Leftists who either genuinely thought or postured as thinking that Dems would be as bad/even worse.
It takes real galaxy brains to mass cancel solar and wind projects and then start a pointless unpopular war that sends oil prices soaring.
Excellent 🧵 on how the Administration's deliberate destruction of U.S. diplomacy is making this war both harder and less likely to achieve its ends (whatever those are).
i hate when liberals pull shit like that. i know part of it is because its a sensitive topic for me but you'd think we would have less credentialism when the two worst presidents of the last 50 years went to fucking yale and wharton.
I'm sure some people in the White House are thinking they need to fire more competent statisticians at BLS. The Unified Executive Theory says that all jobs reports must support the President's preferred narrative.
If that doesn't get him the Nobel Peace Prize, nothing will.
Common thieves. Not to be confused with the high seas pirates and protection rackets we see going on at the same time.
If your staff doesn't pull you off the stage in this moment, it's probably because they hate you.
Let this sink in.
Four years ago, the US expected Ukraine to fall within days and even withheld military aid because they thought it’d be wasted. Today, the US — the most powerful nation on earth — is asking Ukraine for military aid.
Never underestimate Ukraine. Arm them to win.
There is so much to dislike about Kristi Noem, so I wonder what was the final straw for Trump.
You know it wasn't her killing or torturing people. Donald doesn't care about that. I bet it was her spending over $200,000,000 on cheesy ads to promote herself instead of him. He *would* care about that.
If we don't stand strong, we could have people who snort cocaine off of toilet seats holding senior positions in government!
Appalling misdirection of resources. Bad on Trump, but also bad on Biden/Sullivan.
One of the key selling points of crypto, which has always struggled to explain how it is anything other than a pyramid scheme, has been that it protects users against overreaching government. Shouldn't alarms be going off that the leader of government overreach is all-in promoting this legislation?
Pulling money out of the insured institutions on which our economy is based and putting that money into speculative, high-risk investments with no real assets behind them. What a brilliant innovation! Have we ever tried that before? How did it work out?
Hey that’s about the cost of the SSI Restoration Act, which would cut recipient poverty by 60%, eliminate marriage penalties, and modernize draconian asset limits.
So maybe Denmark will not be the first NATO ally we invade after all?!?
It's good that Dems are forcing a war powers vote. But they can also link it to a larger case that Trump is conducting himself as a maliciously unhinged despot who's wrecking our system of self rule at its very foundations. 6/
