@ASFleischman Honestly, I can’t believe I have to just get up and go to work tomorrow like everything is normal. Nothing is normal!!
And I learned a new term this week — constitutional grief.
@miabenetti@WayneWaldropW@Texan2A British Royalty, for the first time since 1647 for starters. I think people are underestimating how much of a big deal that is.
British and French diplomats.
The former Prime Minister of Norway.
@Charlieomg23422@WayneWaldropW Well it’s hardly his fault that so many of his colleagues took their oaths with their fingers crossed behind their backs.
Being divided into Us v. Them factions is exactly what George Washington warned about.
@miabenetti@WayneWaldropW@Texan2A Never gets anything accomplished? The Epstein files wouldn’t have been released without him, and several people who’ve recently been arrested would still be living the high life instead of working on their legal defense.
@WayneWaldropW@TheJoesList This is what I find most difficult to understand. When the facts are *right there* and you shove them in front of someone’s face and they still don’t believe them!
And these people are eligible for jury duty 🥴
@atrupar@RepThomasMassie@CamRMacKenzie I thought it was quite tactful. He highlighted repeated violations of the Fourth Amendment and did it in a non-confrontational way, so she had nowhere to hide.
Then he backed it up during the markup the following day.
No dumb wars.
No elite impunity.
These principles led to @RepThomasMassie & my work on the two most consequential matters of this Congress.
The Epstein Transparency Act & Iran WPR.
We are standing with the people against a corrupted government that has sold us out.
"We are not at war," Johnson said. "We have no intention of being at war."
Excuse me, this is war. Even those in favor of it will admit that much.
Changing the real meaning of words does not relieve Congress of its Constitutional duty to authorize War.

So I was wondering why reading @RepThomasMassie’s second paragraph reminded me of that hideous “it’s Supreme Court opinions day and now the world is all wrong” feeling.
Long story short, I learned a new term:
CONSTITUTIONAL GRIEF.
Holy shit. This explains some things.
The Iran War Powers Resolution narrowly failed, but we put everyone on record.
We’re being told this military action could last months. That’s the exact circumstance in which the Founders intended for Congress to authorize war, but sadly we’ve now abdicated that responsibility.
Only Congress can declare war. That's not my opinion. That's Article 1 of the Constitution. We forced the vote. The Senate said no. History will not be kind to a Congress that gave away its most solemn responsibility.

I had a feeling my neighbor is going to steal my car.
So I stole his car first. And kidnapped his children. Then burned down his house. Everything is normal.
@AaronRDay Anti war since leading a school walkout over Iraq (the local Italian place gave us free pizza, I stood on a bench and yelled an impromptu speech lol. Law enforcement sent a helicopter up to monitor our small crowd of 14 year olds 🤷♀️)
