Regardless of whether it’s all talk, when the leader of our country expresses plainly genocidal intent, everyone has to do something. For citizens of all political stripes, it means rejecting this madness. For Congress, it means taking action to rein him in. Now.

The President is openly threatening genocide. A crime against humanity. He must be removed from office. The 25th Amendment must be invoked. If not, Congress has to do our damn job. Speaker Johnson, call us into session. War powers & impeachment. Remove this man from office.

The President is threatening genocide and possible use of nuclear weapons against Iran. It’s clear the President has continued to decline and is not fit to lead. The members of his Cabinet must invoke the 25th Amendment immediately.

AOC: “This is a threat of genocide & merits removal from office. The President’s mental faculties are collapsing & cannot be trusted. To every individual in the President’s chain of command: You have a duty to refuse illegal orders. That includes carrying out this threat”

Senate Republicans refused to convict Trump after Jan 6. Republican SCOTUS appointees gave him immunity. Republicans in Congress today stand idly by as he unleashes death and destruction across the globe. We are now at the whims of a mad king because GOP leaders have refused to constrain him.

I feel sick to my stomach waiting around to see what atrocity Trump has in mind for the people of Iran this evening. It's hard to fathom our other elected leaders aren't able to check him in any meaningful way. It's an indictment not just of voters but of our whole system. We're ruled by a mad king.

The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it. This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.

A moral man doesn’t praise Epstein in 2002 as a “terrific guy” who likes “younger” women, after a 16-year-old spa worker at Mar-a-Lago was targeted in 2000. A moral man calls the cops. Warns the girl's family. Bans the predator. He did none of that. They partied for 7 more years. That's SICK!

Senate Parliamentarian Allows Updated Public Land Sales
Proposal
Today, after a new public land sales proposal was submitted, the Senate parliamentarian-the nonpartisan referee on Senate rules-made the official determination that the public land sale portion of the bill could now be included in the reconciliation package.
"TRCP remains steadfast in our position that no public land sales should be included in budget reconciliation legislation," said Joel Pedersen, president and CEO of the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership. "TRCP will not stop working to remove public land sales from this bill, and we urge all hunters and anglers to keep the phones ringing in D.C. until our public lands are secured."
