BREAKING: REP. THOMAS MASSIE ON PETE HEGSETH:
“Hegseth has been effective. He was effective at killing 200 schoolchildren.
He was effective at bombing fishing boats that may or may not have had people who were guilty of smuggling drugs.
He's been effective at waging an unconstitutional kidnapping in Venezuela.
In some aspects, he has been effective. And that's what we're impeaching him for: his effectiveness in breaking the law and violating the Constitution.”

Massie: "There's no fog of war on the first day! You've had months to identify these targets, yet they picked a school building on a school day with kids in it"

No one believes this, and Blinken knows it, but that's why he'll keep saying it publicly. It is a demonstration of power. Him and everyone like him took a body blow last week, so expect to keep seeing a flex of this muscle in the coming weeks, months.

The directors’ class backgrounds become very clear when you watch these movies. it’s convenient for workers to be erased by capital/tech in No Other Choice to neatly make its point, whereas Possible Love confronts and wrestles with those displaced workers head-on

it is our job to constantly criticize politicians. they are public servants who we vote for. even the politicians you like need to constantly be vetted & under scrutiny. this shouldn’t be a controversial take. that cult of personality shit needs to die immediately.

Per this @zeteo_news story: Stephen Miller has privately told confidants he's afraid liberals will try to throw him in prison after Trump is out of power, and file lawsuits against him for years.
Trump's elevation of him is a challenge: is Democratic leadership about it, or not?
🚨 Stephen Miller — now the new WH Chief of Staff — has repeatedly pushed to target a list of enemies, like Hasan Piker.
+ He's pushing for a network of "camps" to detain untold numbers of immigrants, indefinitely — ones too hard for a future admin to undo.zeteo.com/p/stephen-miller-t…
