Whatever you think of President Obama ordering drone strikes, he did it with Congressional authorization

Congress has NOT given approval for these boat strikes

When Republicans tell you they’ve been informed or briefed, that is NOT the same thing

Not even close
It’s important to remember there are two scandals here:

1. The Administration has likely committed war crimes.

2. But the entire operation - which now includes two dozen attacks - is illegal. In our democracy, the President CANNOT wage war without the consent of the people.
BERMAN: Did you see any evidence of them trying to use a radio in the video you saw?

TOM COTTON: Well I saw lots of evidence of them standing on the boat that had been capsized

BERMAN: That wasn't my question. Did you see any evidence?

COTTON: No, I didn't

Data centres are energy hungry but what if we could use their waste heat to heat our homes?

That's exactly what happens in places like Finland: Cities are tapping the vast amounts of waste heat generated by data centres, and feeding it into district-heating networks.

This is very good and to the point. Please watch. A newspaper in Denmark has published the video - and the person talking (a Ukranian politician in Denmark) is speaking in English (with Danish subtitles), so you should be able to follow. "Who will stop Russia ..."

Either we have a constitution, or we don’t.

If Trump can invade countries without any congressional approval without consequences, we definitively do not have a constitution.

We, the people, simply cannot allow him to get away with ruling lawlessly without consequences.

If Trump does go through with his threatened invasion of Venezuela without Congressional approval, that should absolutely be grounds for immediate impeachment proceedings.

We would need mass, popular mobilization calling for his removal from office. It has to be a red line.

Remember the time Obama personally caught a fainting woman during his speech — rather than just blankly staring like a sociopath?

Character isn't something you tell people about.

It's something you live.

Venice used to have a second church on Piazza San Marco: S. Geminiano designed by Sansovino you can see in this Canaletto painting. It was kind of a big deal; shows up in a ton of artwork. It was destroyed by Napoleon — to build a ballroom.

Napoleon occupied Venice 1806-1814, eight years.

BREAKING: 🚨 The International Criminal Court has ruled that Israel’s appeal against arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant have “no legal basis”

This should have been splashed on the front of EVERY new site today. Instead, Israel bombed Rafah.
