What Schumer & Warner should be saying is:
A war of aggression against Denmark, Colombia, or Mexico would be insane and illegal. Democrats will cooperate with any arrest warrants issued by the ICC in respect of such crimes of war, including warrants against the current president.
Warner: "Nothing would lead to the absolute destruction of NATO more than US aggressive action against a longtime ally like Denmark"

Schumer: "I asked for assurances that they were not planning operations in other countries like Colombia and Cuba, and I was very very disappointed in their answer"

The options:
(1) quickly expand SCOTUS, nullify the corrupt Trump Court jurisprudence (doable);
(2) pass several constitutional amendments (not doable);
(3) let SCOTUS indefinitely operate as an instrument of the Republican Party.
Option (3) is favored by current Dem leadership.
Slaughter is an earthquake: SCOTUS has overturned a 90-year-old precedent that facilitated much of modern governance by granting many agencies meaningful independence from the president. Now SCOTUS crushes that independence ... for seemingly every agency except the Federal Reserve.

With about four months still to go until the midterm elections, the Trump administration remains largely unchecked by Congress in its exercises and abuses

Joseph O’Neill reflects on a polylingual childhood, full of intimacies, disappointments, and forgivenesses: “We kept moving—to Tripoli, in Lebanon; to Amanzimtoti, in South Africa; and to Matola, in colonial Mozambique.”

People moan about the rise of leftwing Dems, but always remember that this is the alternative.
AI is reshaping industries and our economy, and it’s crucial that young people and our workforce are equipped to succeed in this landscape.

Proud to introduce a bipartisan bill with Sen. Rounds to ensure students and educators have the resources they need to harness the power of AI.

"Progressive policies are gaining ground in the Democratic Party. But progressive politicians aren’t advancing as quickly. The cryptocurrency industry, AIPAC, and other groups are spending heavily to keep left-wingers out of Congress. And they are often succeeding." newrepublic.com/article/2079...
The Party of AOC or AIPAC? In Illinois, Neither Bloc Could Dominate
AIPAC won two and lost two. Progressives took the biggest prize—the Senate nomination. But this battle is a long way from over.

Hey Democrats:
(1) Trump is ignorant, idiotic, and malign
(2) war is bad
(3) US military adventures in the Middle East have been uniformly catastrophic
ergo
(4) a Middle East war started by Trump is presumptively disastrous.
That easy enough for you?

Always remember that this is the leader of the Republican Party who owes his power exclusively to Republican Party voters and Republican officials.
Trump: "I got probably 85 million votes. They say 78 million, 79 million. They cheated in this election too. It was just too big to rig. They cheated like hell ... a Democrats will get 3, 4, 5, 6, and even 7 ballots, and then we're supposed to win. They're professional cheaters."

Project 2028:
1. Undoing the damage.
2. Undoing the causes of the damage.
Number 2 might be doable faster.
It is not too early for Democrats to build a Project 2028, because if we win, every single agency is going to have to be restaffed and rebuilt from the ground up in the first 100 days, and "We're going to undo the damage" can't be the sole item on our four-year agenda.READ NEXT POST BEFORE REPLYING>

The only biosphere in the known universe capable of supporting human life is being turned into a hell planet because most of Earth's governments refuse to stop trying to satisfy the insatiable greed of a plutocracy composed of people who already have more money than they could spend in 20 lifetimes.
Point of no return: a hellish ‘hothouse Earth’ getting closer, scientists say

Horrific comments by Ratcliffe today right when United appeared to making a charge. His comments stand against everything Manchester is about & its fanbase across the world. It’s also a disgraceful insult to our players and everything the United DNA stands for. I am appalled as a #mufc shareholder.

Yep. It's bad news for everyone who wants to believe or sell the idea that elections reward policy arguments, but presidential mass appeal is about brand. Brand strength implicates policy, sure, but especially for swing voters it's mostly about identity, looks, authenticity, charisma.
People like to do this thing where they’re like “If you successfully argue X, you’ll win the election.” This is just not how anything works! One hundred million Americans are not waiting to hear your answer to this narrow question! Also, the actual winner made no such case!
Why are we out here trying to defend Kamala Harris. She had a shit campaign because she didn't sell herself.on making a difference in anyone's lives. THAT is why people didn't vote for her. She would be the EXACT same as a second Biden term and working class people just checked out. Nothing for them
