@TrevelyanL85A2 @JulianAndreone The Speaker of the House has not (and won’t because he is Trump’s lackey) called the House into session.

@JulianAndreone they need to shut the fuck up, stop talking, and go back to Congress and draft articles of impeachment. This inaction is going to cost many their seats in November

Members of Congress calling for invocation of the 25th Amendment, a thread 🧵:

Speaker Johnson, we are calling on you to bring the House back to DC IMMEDIATELY! The Cabinet needs to invoke the 25th Amendment. But Congress can’t just sit on its hands and wait for that to happen when the President is threatening to commit war crimes TONIGHT. This is all hands on deck—Democrats, Republicans, Independents—AMERICANS must look at using any and every tool to stop the President and his unauthorized war including the 25th Amendment, Impeachment, and War Powers Resolutions. The world is watching, and history will remember.

@sarcastic_deer @kenmartin73 Sure hope I’m crazy

@BellaEnglebach @kenmartin73 World War 3? What the hell are you talking about. You people are crazy.

Absolutely shameful... Raise the wage to keep up with inflation! Working people in this country keep getting screwed over for the powerful and well-connected.

When Democratic lawmakers reminded the military to not follow illegal orders they mean orders that would wipe out an entire civilization.

@DWellbeloved @Acyn Yeah, the airlines are gonna love losing international gateways.

@Acyn Mullin is slightly smarter than a box of rocks. But only slightly.

Mullin: I believe sanctuary cities is not lawful. Some of these cities have international airports. If they are a sanctuary city, should they really be processing customs into their city? We need to have a really hard look at that. Baier: So you are saying that big cities that are sanctuary cities that have a big airport, they might lose their customs? Mullin: I'm going to be forced to make tough decisions.

Based on its independent analysis of new satellite imagery and detailed knowledge of the site, the IAEA can confirm recent impacts of military strikes close to Iran’s Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant (BNPP), including one just 75 metres from the site perimeter. The BNPP itself has not been damaged, the IAEA’s analysis of the 5 April imagery shows. Once again, IAEA Director General @rafaelmgrossi warns that continued military activity near the BNPP - an operating plant with large amounts of nuclear fuel - could cause a severe radiological accident with harmful consequences for people and the environment in Iran and beyond. Regardless of the nature of the intended targets, DG Grossi says such attacks pose a very real danger to nuclear safety and must stop. DG Grossi reiterates call for all parties to fully respect the 7 indispensable pillars for ensuring nuclear safety and security during a conflict. A nuclear facility and surrounding areas should never be struck, DG Grossi says.

Now just straight up stealing from us, and a GOP congress allowing it

@Zesty_King3 @jessgill03 Well then obviously all boomers are horrible people. It’s amazing the whole world hasn’t been covered in concrete and spray-painted green.

@jessgill03 I was once on a coach trip to France and I overheard a Boomer say that his tennets were complaining about the garden, he then said that when they're next away on holiday he'll concrete the garden then spray paint it green.

It’s insane how little compassion so many boomers have for young people.

@LarrySchweikart @MichaelPruser @RealSKeshel Will they turn up to the polls tho? Republican apathy is partially driving some of Dem over performances in special elections, and seeing their farms go under and their kids sent off to war, won’t encourage them to vote in November even if they are not changing registration

@MichaelPruser A reversal, for sure. @RealSKeshel, however, notes that in the key Trump "flip" counties, they are holding steady.

@SmithtonJames @megbasham The reason your sect of Christianity is anti-abortion is political not scriptural. A moral position on abortion takes more thinking than random quoting out-of-context verses.

@SmithtonJames @megbasham Plenty of examples of deliberate child murder in the Bible. God takes the first-born of the Egyptians, for example. In Deuteronomy, God commands the death of all men, women and children of a number of other tribes. Not a lot of scriptural support for an anti-abortion stance.

Here is the Christian argument for supporting him: Kamala Harris—who is so committed to the murder of babies that she promised she would allow no religious exemptions to employer provided abortions—was the alternative.

@SmithtonJames @megbasham Sacrifice to Molech was a variety of participation in a non-Jewish religion (may or may not have been a literal sacrifice.) Had nothing to do with abortion. Also see Numbers 5: 11-13

Truth ! I often told my congregation that based on one criteria alone there was NO way A True Christian could ever vote for anyone in a political party that supported abortion up to the moment of birth whether that party was Democrat or Republican. These verses in Leviticus pretty well sums up what God thinks about. And dont tell me abortion isnt child sacrifice in one form or another. Lev 18:21 NHEB “‘You shall not give any of your children to sacrifice to Moloch; neither shall you profane the name of your God: I am the LORD. for all these abominations have the men of the land done, that were before you, and the land became defiled); 28 that the land not vomit you out also, when you defile it, as it vomited out the nation that was before you.

@KennethCallow17 @megbasham And yet, Trump’s actions like (dismantling and defunding USAID) have resulted in the deaths of many babies and children. But American “Christians” don’t care about them because they’re mostly brown and back and probably not “Christian” and anyway Jesus always said “America First”

@megbasham Your argument is that Trump promised to support killing fewer babies than Harris?

@MyBumble35245 @David_J_Bier She was eligible for DACA but Trump canceled it in his first term.

So she was here illegally? Why didn't she try to get a change in status? I can be sympathetic with her in that she has lived most of her life here, and being deported to her home country will be very awkward. On the flip side, these stories make me feel like I'm the only person to immigrate to the US LEGALLY!

A U.S. Army staff sergeant and his wife arrived at his base in Louisiana last week, expecting to begin their life together as newlyweds. ICE has arrested and caged her instead. She was brought to the USA as a toddler. These people should be citizens.

@Anthony00859 @PAHouseGOP Who knows, he might like this. But I think it's a stunt, because a number of R legislators will struggle to be re-elected this year, and they would love to be able to say they tried to eliminate gas tax and state house Dems and Shapiro stopped them.

@Anthony00859 @PAHouseGOP Then you know the governor does not write legislation. Now, he can advocate for legislation he would like to sign, but with a Republican majority in the state senate, who doesn't like to give him what he wants, it's an uphill battle.

The average price of a gallon of gas is $4.15 in #PA. To help, House Republicans have a plan to ELIMINATE the state gas tax for 6 months. EVERY. LITTLE. BIT. HELPS.

@Anthony00859 @PAHouseGOP The Republicans were the ones who wrote and passed the bills creating our gas taxes.

@PAHouseGOP Please do Our D Guv does not listen about the gas tax He just wants to tax us in Pa with zero benefits look how bad the pot holes are

@PAHouseGOP Huh, that takes us to November and the election in which every seat in the state house is up for grabs. I can see the ads now! Very clever. Of course, those of you who do win your seats back will have a budget gap to fill, but cutting back on infrastructure is the GOP way.
