🚨FISA VOTE TONIGHT! 🚨 While you are sleeping, Republicans plan to jam a bill through the House tonight allowing the Admin to spy and collect data for the next FIVE YEARS.

No warrants REQUIRED. No real assurances a shady AG, FBI, or DNI director will follow the law. I am a NO!

“The world thirsts for #Peace! Enough of war and all the pain it causes through death, destruction, and exile!” Pope

Tempted to fix the clasp of my necklace from childhood I recently rediscovered as a Pope is speaking to my heart. 🤍

Pope Leo XIV

“Let us reject the logic of violence and war, and embrace peace founded on love and justice—an unarmed peace, not based on fear, threats or weapons. This peace is disarming, because it is capable of resolving conflicts, opening hearts, and generating trust, empathy, and hope.” #Peace

Childcare was subsidized in Switzerland after WWII so mothers could work and stimulate the economy. I suffered the consequences of institutional care! Oversight and professionalism of institutional care of old & young is essential. The extreme right’s concerns are always only taxes & personal profit

Turned on NBC. They talked about “President tipping a DoorDash driver $100”.

This woman participated in GOP ads before playing other roles. There is no DoorDash deliveries to the Oval Office. Please exercise proper judgement when consuming news.

First tanker makes it out of Hormuz amid US blockade and it's a Chinese ship The Rich Starry, a vessel owned by Shanghai Xuanrun Shipping, is subject to U.S. sanctions over its role in Iran's oil trade.

Trump is steering towards a confrontation with China. Will he blink? Trump’s blockade is getting an immediate test. A Chinese tanker has cleared the Strait of Hormuz. Will the US seize it? If the US does, is that an act of war? If it doesn’t, does the blockade collapse? This is a scary moment.

We are in dire need of reform.

Trump’s rant about Pope Leo XIV will hopefully have Catholics ✝️ abandon en mass the Republican Party, cruel MAGA with its selfish America First policies. 🙏🏻

Eric Swalwell

I am suspending my campaign for Governor.

To my family, staff, friends, and supporters, I am deeply sorry for mistakes in judgment I’ve made in my past.

I will fight the serious, false allegations that have been made — but that’s my fight, not a campaign’s.

Demanding accountability and adherence to international laws are not
too much to ask for.

We all worry about more of the Fetterman kind. Vets have often the strongest anti war voices that speak from experience. Comparing Trump’s toxic drivel to anyone else is unfair. No need to trust, but I recommend watching him, listening and pushing for policies you want. His alternatives are dismal.

“The War Is Turning Iran Into a Major World Power”: U. of Chicago Professor Robert Pape Will Iran join China, Russia and the United States as a fourth major power on the world stage? Iran’s resilience in the face of the U.S.-Israeli war is already shifting the global balance of power, sa...

“Iran is far stronger than it was just 40 days ago. It is in control of 20% of the world’s oil. It is now an emerging fourth center of power," says American political scientist Robert Pape. "The United States is on one side, and the rivals are China, Russia and now Iran.”

Such great news. 🇭🇺✌️👏

Your judgment. When I check his current comments and positions, he does not sound stupid to me. He is strongly anti war which I appreciate and holds progressive views I like to see more of in Congress.

Manhattan DA’s Office is investigating allegation of sexual assault against Rep. Eric Swalwell.

"'We urge survivors and anyone with knowledge of these allegations to contact our Special Victims Division at 212-335-9373,' the DA’s office said."

Diplomacy is an art that requires experts.

War is failure of diplomacy, no excuses.

No more illegal, barbaric warfare killing people and destroying precious historic sites and culture.
