Article I of our Constitution gave Congress the power to declare war and send our troops into battle. No one person can send our brave sons and daughters into conflict on a whim. Continued strikes off the coast of Venezuela are both an escalation abroad and direct attack on our Constitution at home.

Also I’m just sick of these fucking liars calling things the opposite of what they are. “Fair maps” means rigged maps. Election integrity means voter suppression. Inflation means lower prices. Etc etc.

I’m old enough to remember when conservatives raised on Ayn Rand novels pretended to celebrate people who accomplished something. Now their entire bottom-feeding culture thrives on hate-politics, sham religion, and open cruelty to others. We’re a country infested with @newtgingrich wannabes.

When asked who holds him to account, Phoebe CEO Scott Steiner said, “I hope that our consumers do, right? ... They can do that by electing to get care elsewhere.”

Obvious piracy wtf is going on
The Venezuelan government has condemned the U.S.’s seizure of an oil tanker off its coast as “piracy,” as President Donald Trump says that the U.S. is keeping the oil.
Venezuela Says US Oil Tanker Seizure Is “Piracy” as Trump Says US Will Keep Oil
Experts say the seizure is likely illegal and represents an expansion of US sanctions enforcement.

Extremely insane story involving Goodreads sleuthing, the guy steering policy on women in the military being into a lot of weird/dark/unfaithful sex stuff, AND Jack Posobiac apparently threatening the journalist reporting it
This is a really disturbing story on several levels and certainly anyone who interacts with the Pentagon specifically or the administration more generally should read it:
I asked the Pentagon about Pete Hegseth's mentor. Then the threats started.
Journalism in the second Trump administration gets personal.
