Damn, that's some powerful shit, and I love it.

The world has to change for the better, or don't expect women to participate in extending sexism and misogyny.

So Republicans are anti-gerrymandering now? Interesting pivot from the party that perfected map-rigging, voter suppression, and choosing their voters before voters can choose them.

John Cornyn has been in office longer than I’ve been alive.

He’s had 40 years to lower the cost of housing, healthcare, groceries, utilities, and gas.

What’s the hold up?

When the truth is finally revealed about Trump starting this war to stay out of jail for raping children, remember that Republicans allowed him to unilaterally announce it from his FL hangout without any Congressional approval.

The truth will come out. What we're getting now is all spin.

Social Murder.
Exactly.
And the most horrific thing about it is that the people simply cannot believe that it could be happening.
Until it’s too late.

Fascists "solve" problems by eliminating the people - killing and murder and "letting" people die, fascists consider these "solutions."

"The MAGA Murder Bill is turning our government into a weapon against our people" - it is a "solution" designed by fascists.

They paused Oversight Committee hearings the minute we started getting answers about the Epstein files.

Now it’s “roundtables”: no rules, no oaths, no subpoenas.

You do the math. Because the moment accountability shows up, they shut it down. The survivors deserve better.

Right now, in the middle of Trump's war with Iran, Senate Republicans are keeping us here all night to vote on the most pressing issue they can think of:

Giving $70 BILLION more to ICE and CBP.

I'm going to fight them every step of the way.

The Hormuz situation seems so so bad, like gonna-destabilize-half-the-globe-and-tank-the-economy bad, with no obvious resolution even plausible, and it’s still getting the “distant crisis mostly of interest to nerds that will work itself out” treatment in American press

This Ukrainian counter-drone company is worried about missing its moment in the Iran war Ukraine's battle-proven drone interceptors are seeing new interest. One maker worries that without being able to export, it will miss the window.

2/3
Interceptor drones are the economics of modern war.

$3K–$6K to stop a Shahed.
Millions for a missile doing the same job.

Scale wins wars now.

...Not prestige systems.

I've seen a lot of references online to a "J. Edgar Boozer" and although I'm not saying anyone in particular deserves that appellation, I do think it would be the perfect name for someone serving as head of the Federal Bureau of Intoxication, if there were such a thing, which I'm not saying there is

Senate Republicans reject latest attempt to constrain Iran war The vote mirrored previous attempts by mostly Democrats to require the U.S. to withdraw from the conflict unless Congress authorizes further action.

The Senate for a fifth time failed to advance a measure that would have opened debate on halting the war in Iran as Republicans continued to block efforts to assert congressional war powers.

The final tally: 46-51.

Two Iranian Women in ICE Detention Are Not, In Fact, Related to Qasem Soleimani, Documents Show After Laura Loomer pointed to two women she claimed were connected to the late Iranian military commander, they were arrested and remain in immigration detention. One is now gravely ill.

HUGE scandal if true. Laura Loomer got Marco Rubio to throw two Iranian women with green cards in ICE jail to be stripped of status and deported, claiming they were related to Qasem Soleimani.

Official documents provided to @dropsitenews.com appear to show they are NOT related; they're innocent.
