-the freedom from want, and
-the freedom from fear

"SOUTHCOM was concerned about the operations not being lawful," per CNN reporting.

Not surprised.

I served in Pentagon assessing counterterrorism operations. I explain constitutional and international legal problems with these Caribbean strikes.⤵️

There’s nothing wrong with not trusting everything the government says or does, but not being able to trust ANYTHING the government says or does puts democracy in a wicked bind.

There's nothing wrong with not trusting everything the government says or does, but we can't trust anything this one says.

That BBB also pays for tax cuts for the rich...I would rather give health care to illegal aliens, it would be less expensive.

Mike Johnson: "We're fighting for healthcare as well. Not just in word but in deed. We put in the one big beautiful bill, real reforms to Medicaid to make it work better."

(The bill in fact cuts nearly $1 trillion from Medicaid.)

I would prefer to pay health care for ALL in America than give 40 BILLION to a DICtator.

I would prefer to feed starving children in America than give 40 BILLION to a DICtator.

Rand Paul: "When you kill someone, if you're not in a declared war, you really need to know someone's name at least. You have to accuse them of something. You have to present evidence. So all of these people have been blown up without any evidence of a crime."

They use govt accounts, employees & resources to make partisan political messages.

They make partisan political speeches attacking the opposition party to troops routinely.

They get pardoned when they commit crimes.

They ignore the laws.

There is zero congressional oversight.
