@crow.house.gov The ceasefire is likely only a brief opportunity for Congress to stop crimes against humanity. Dems can make it clear that the GOP led Congress is choosing to ignore its responsibility to stop threatened war crimes. Impeachment or removal of POTUS is warranted,

We’ve been warned. When this administration repeatedly threatened the very civilization of 90M Iranians, it threatened the civilization of the USA. We now have a small window for Congress to prevent these war crimes from occurring. Whatever stopped this is only temporary without an act of Congress.

We now know why Trump was so desperate to win the Nobel Peace Prize. It was an Orwellian plan to claim “war is peace” as he kills civilians running small boats in the Caribbean and Pacific and as he threatens to end civilization in Iran. The GOP owns this 1984, I mean Project 2025, madness.

We've been warned that war crimes are imminent. Congress has no choice but to vote to stop this war before that happens. Faced with irrational communications, we cannot assume ending a civilization is hyperbole and we cannot assume military commanders can simply refuse "illegal orders".

Targeting civilians would, in fact, be a war crime. This man is deranged, unstable, and unfit to lead. He thinks this is a game. Republicans need to find their backbone, rein him in, and end this reckless war before more innocent lives are lost and this escalates into something far worse.

Congress must act immediately and pass a concurrent resolution under the War Powers Act to stop all military action. STRATCOM, given all the recent firings, and given all of this admin’s irrational communications, cannot be relied upon to follow the law as intended. It’s up to Congress now.

For the bottom 40% of families, California taxes are LOWER than states like Florida and Texas. In fact, 16 other states tax LOW-WAGE earners MORE than California taxes our HIGH-WAGE earners. The evidence is clear, and the numbers don't lie.

A worldwide sell-off for stocks is slamming onto Wall Street Tuesday, and oil prices are leaping even higher as worries rise that the war with Iran is widening and may do more sustained damage to the global economy than feared.

Trump’s war against Iran is illegal and a betrayal of the American people. Congress cannot allow Trump to drag yet another generation into a forever war.

Americans do not want another forever war in the Middle East. Congress must return to DC immediately to reassert its war powers.

New 15% global tariffs not only break several just made trade agreements, they’re also not legal under Section 122 as claimed. Even the Trump admin started this in August. MAJOR SCOOP and incredible reporting here: open.substack.com/pub/populari...

“Not only has Congress not authorized such a war, but it has barely even debated it. The administration has not bothered to explain, either to Congress or the American people, why it might bomb Iran or what it hopes to achieve…This is how an autocracy goes to war.” www.nytimes.com/2026/02/20/o...

“Fuck the poor! Fuck the poor!” That’s how the March for Billionaires kicked off on February 7 in Pacific Heights, one of San Francisco’s wealthiest neighborhoods, near a stretch of mansions known as Billionaires’ Row. We went to see whether the event was satire or sincere. The answer was… yes.

BREAKING: I read the new version of the “Save America Act” (S. 1383) so u don’t have to. Here’s my summary. Point 1 is new. It requires that all 50 states send their voter rolls to the DHS to run thru DHS’s faulty “SAVE” voter purge program. Points 6 & 7 are new too. Tell ur Senators #NoOnSAVE 1/

This tracks. We are likely to see a lot of new Massies as the GOP plots a path for R’s in congress to find themselves on the right side of the Epstein-(insert powerful co-conspirator here) criminal enterprise.

Required reading. The victims deserve justice and the paper trail Dave Troy continues to uncover leads to Epstein running a large “controlled burn operation” for both the criminal and civil claims against him and a lot of lawyers are involved. Their greed and apparent misogyny needs accountability.

I don’t think enough people know that the GOP’s “Save America Act” would establish voter purge programs using data systems that experts say are unreliable. These systems reek of DOGE & thus of Elon Musk who is *heavily* promoting the Act. Thread.

“We’re the only country in the world that has mail in ballots”. - Senile Satan

I read the Trump-backed voter suppression bill, the so-called “Save America Act,” so you don’t have to. Here’s my summary. Please tell your Senators to vote NO on this abomination: 202-224-3121. TY. 1/

While we hope accountability, legal and political, comes to Epstein pals who considered themselves well above the law and well above the humanity of their victims, we need the social context Troy is establishing in this series to help understand today, what money and technology in politics intends.

This is a big scoop and further details the scope of the far-right insurgency within the US. The “Chairman for life,” setup itself is an overt challenge to the constitution. Troy’s reporting detailing the use of the USPTO to house the legal framework of a supranational org is critically important.

🚨SCOOP: Trump's Board of Peace trademarks are being held by the United States Patent and Trademark Office, an apparently unprecedented use of executive branch power to protect the interests of a murkily defined supranational organization. america2.news/board-of-pea...

💯%, thanks for the article. Hegseth’s threats are further evidence, if anyone needs it, that America faces a far-right insurgency, not just a grifting, egomaniacal Presidency. Let this insurgency circle the wagons around its empty unAmerican policies, then starve it of oxygen like Nichols does here.

Important reporting here. A neighbor of Mr. Thao is quoted saying, “Whatever you think happened here, it’s worse.” She is right. Please read this. We cannot continue this un-American rampage, it must stop.

That awkward moment when your past foreign policy faceplants in real time.

Nothing to see here, folks 😕 This is the guy we’re letting poison memphis and dig a hole in nashville?

During Fiona Hill's testimony to Congress on Oct 14, 2019, she described how Trump and Putin discussed exchanging Ukraine for Venezuela. The quid pro quo was if Trump refuses to help Ukraine fight off a Russian invasion, Putin would not help Venezuela (a Russian ally) resist a US takeover.

Sound advice from Dave Troy. Standing together to reject this antidemocratic assault by the “Dark Enlightenment” of greed and ignorance is the best macro strategy, described here, and perhaps the best micro strategy too, as the same challenge presents itself more locally.

The court's Republican-appointed justices appear ready to eliminate most pockets of expertise and nonpartisanship on which the country relies as stewards of important economic, political, scientific, and regulatory power.

Trump admin officials banking on pardons if their decisions prove illegal, should consider the heavy odds that Trump will retire before his term is up, likely not long after the midterms, and Vance will have strong incentives to look like a reformer and be uninterested in handing out pardons. (FYI)

Great article from Nichols shining a light for the reactionary right in power today, and those of us hoping they open their eyes, to see their nihilism. (The negative analogies to childhood, which hopefully work as intended on the disaffected mind, could be replaced because kids are wonderful.)

Important thread from @jennycohn.bsky.social on a Harvard student journal pushing far right anti-democracy Christian nationalism and, surprise, surprise, associated with Thiel and Andreessen.

Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:

The spike in health insurance rates will affect not just working Americans, but our entire economy. We have to act now to lower costs.

Important article for progressives who want to win the midterms.

For those who need clear historical context about what the f this is we’re up against. TLDR: defend democracy, vote, please don’t feel too defeated, you’re not alone and we can overcome this. www.idahostatesman.com/opinion/from...

Gift article, and much needed logical and historical context from @radiofreetom.bsky.social The maniacal leadership from POTUS and Hegseth today was on full display and should get everyone’s attention. As Tom says, “Trump is not okay.”

The generals and admirals at Quantico today should be forgiven if they walked out of the auditorium and wondered: What on earth is wrong with the commander in chief? www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

Many posts from the chattering class, following recent events, that somehow it's progressives' job to win over MAGA for success in the midterms. This is not the case. Be nice, have empathy, but ignore MAGA. Reach out to non-voters and support good candidates. usafacts.org/articles/how...

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Donald Trump has a history of making national tragedies worse. So here's a quick side by side of how one president responds to a national crisis versus how another does.

@radiofreetom.bsky.social one last q re VZLA boat. If you wished to provoke VZLA to fire on US drones over their territorial waters, wouldn’t this be how to do it? Was there any meaningful gain from this killing? Thanks
