@BasedMikeLee No. Case in point - Washington State.

@RandPaul A suggestion was made that you could pass legislation which clarifies the "subject to the jurisdiction" language of the 14th, such that another amendment would not be required. Seems like that would be much easier to pass and would serve the same purpose.

@CynicalPublius @RoKhanna @ZohranKMamdani He thinks he will get to be one of the kommisars.

@TheOld10769 @KIRO7Seattle @GovBobFerguson Nauseating, isn't it.

@JayInslee Great, so dams and nuclear plants, you should get right on it.

USAF Major Jason Watson, an active servicemember, was arrested in DC after protesting for Trump's impeachment on the steps of the US Capitol.

Democrat Rep Al Green was spotted accompanying Watson before his arrest.

Makes sense now.

This is real footage from 120 years ago.

None of the people in it knew that the city around them had four days left...

What you are watching is a cable car gliding down Market Street in San Francisco, filmed on the 14th of April, 1906.

The camera was mounted on the front of the car, so you see the city exactly as it was: the crowds, the horse-drawn carriages, the early automobiles weaving through traffic, the men in hats, the great buildings rising on either side. An ordinary spring afternoon in a thriving American city.

Four days later, on the morning of the 18th of April, a magnitude 7.9 earthquake struck. The shaking lasted under a minute, but it ignited fires that burned through the city for days...

By the time it was over, more than 3,000 people were dead and roughly 80 percent of San Francisco had been destroyed. Almost every building you see in this footage was gone.

And the film itself nearly went with it.

The negative was placed on a train bound for New York on the 17th of April, the day before the earthquake. Had it left a single day later, it would have burned in the fire along with the studio that made it.

This entire moving record of a lost city survives because of one day...

@SenRandPaul There was no welfare state.

[Astoria Luminos @AstoriaL]

@JayInslee Then why did you work to stop it? Not much grift to take advantage of for nuclear and hydro power?

[Astoria Luminos @AstoriaL]

@filbertwrites @RandPaul He actually did. https://t.co/PEEqx3nV1t

I feel like some of them ruled as they did out of fear of the violent left.

[Rand Paul @RandPaul]

I introduced a constitutional amendment months ago, actually, to fix birthright citizenship.

After the Supreme Court decision, that amendment matters more than ever. I'm asking my colleagues to take it seriously and help me get this passed.

@kristenmag @GovBobFerguson He also forced older workers to pay who will never be able to collect the benefit. Looter.

@OwenGregorian And he veers into falsehood in the first sentence. RFK Jr. is not an "anti-vaxxer".

[Astoria Luminos @AstoriaL]

@JeremyB2323 @engele @cmckee3 Because stealing is wrong. And "millionaires" are just to make people like you support the tax they hope to impose on us all.

@ric22812704 @BrandiKruse The German government is a "grassroots volunteer"? Weird! https://t.co/JvmZoOwRjN

🚨🧵 MAJOR BREAKING: German government has been grooming DSA leaders for over a decade, and nobody noticed? 🇩🇪

Last night, Darializa Avila Chevalier — endorsed by NYC-DSA (Democratic Socialists of America) — beat a five-term incumbent to win New York's 13th congressional district.

@AsraNomani has been reporting on their ties to Cuba and the China/Singham network. But what’s not known is DSA’s deep ties to the German government.

The Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung (RLS) is the political foundation of Die Linke — the German parliamentary party formed from the merger of the Party of Democratic Socialism, itself the legal successor to East Germany's ruling Marxist party, the SED.

Under German law, every party in the Bundestag gets a taxpayer-funded foundation. Die Linke's share is approximately EUR70MM annually.

Most German party foundations sponsor conferences, publish research, and fund exchange programs. What RLS-NYC did was put its own staff inside DSA's organizational leadership — concurrently — for over a decade.

In 2012, RLS opened a New York office. EIN 45-3658022. Their own annual report states: "With the help of funds from the BMZ and the Foreign Office, the Rosa-Luxemburg-Stiftung maintains a network of international relationships. This includes financing its foreign offices."

Over the last 13 years, Berlin has sent millions to this office.

Despite these ties, no FARA registration for the Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung was identified in the Department of Justice database.

As always, patience as I pull together the thread.👇

@BrainKetel @BrandiKruse So many interesting places. Dry Falls/Columbia gorge, Cape Flattery, Goldendale observatory and the nearby fake Stonehenge....
