My No More Presidential Wars resolution will exact a clear consequence to any President that skirts the war powers authority of Congress... (1/4) bit.ly/20190624_NoPre…
... and my NDAA amendments will make certain that nothing in this bill may be used to take America into yet another wasteful, counterproductive regime change war. (2/4)
The Trump Admin continues to escalate tensions with Iran, pushing us closer to the brink of war. This incl. US withdrawal from the Iran nuclear agreement, increasing crippling sanctions, designating Iran’s military as a terrorist org. & sending more US troops to the region. (3/4)
Congress bears the Constitutionally-mandated authority to declare war. Trump launching an attack against Iran without Congressional authorization would be illegal, unconstitutional, and kick off a war so devastating & costly, it would make the Iraq war look like a picnic. (4/4)

It's been nearly 100 years since women fought for and won the right to vote. Yet, we still do not have equal rights and protection under the United States Constitution.
There are too many examples in our everyday lives where women still do not get equal pay for equal work and where we still face discrimination simply for being a woman.
In 1923, the ERA was introduced to prohibit discrimination on the basis of sex, and was reintroduced every session until it finally passed in 1972. However, because of an arbitrary deadline in 1982, by that time, only 35 states out of the required 38 had ratified the amendment.

100 days ago today, the Saudi regime ordered the assassination of a journalist named Jamal Khashoggi.
This brought the world’s attention to #SaudiArabia, a radical Wahhabi theocracy, where the oppression of women and the persecution of Christians, Hindus, atheists, and other religious minorities, as well as the LGBT community is the norm.
Since 2015, the United States has supported Saudi Arabia’s genocidal war in #Yemen that has killed tens of thousands of civilians, caused millions of Yemeni people to suffer, starve, and get sick, and created the worst humanitarian crisis in the world.

Make no mistake—the authorization in Section 1225 of the #NDAA authorizes our military to go to war with Iran.
It lacks a clear objective or goal for our troops to achieve, circumvents Congress’s constitutional responsibility to declare war, and provides unending authorization to ‘counter Iran.’ bit.ly/2x3wd3b
Section 1225 gives after-the-fact license for what is already happening in the Middle East, like ongoing US support of Saudi in #Yemen & our role in #Syria. These heartbreaking wars have created millions of refugees & left death, destruction & great human suffering in their wake

The last lawfully ratified state constitution of Pennsylvania is 1838. All the state constitutions after 1860 are NOT lawfully ratified because #Congress collapse on November 1860 when the southern nations seceded. I will remind everyone we are still under martial law since 1861.
Martial law was never lifted, there were never any peace treaties with the Independent Southern Nations after the international war of 1861. This prevented to restore congress of the southern nations & northern nations. Below I will tweet the preamble and Article I.
1)
 Constitution of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania -1838.

WE, The People of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Ordain and Establish this Constitution for its Government.

#president @KRLS: "Rey o República no era un debate hasta que Felipe VI entro en política. En Europa hay muchas monarquías que entienden su rol, básicamente callar en política porque nadie les ha votado. No es el caso de España".

Entrevista a @WRadioColombia (Hilo 👇)
#president @KRLS: "El català es una lengua hablada por 10 millones de personas pero no se puede hablar en el @Europarl_EN . Soy crítico con las instituciones europeas porque quiero una Europa mucho mas democrática"
#president @KRLS: "Quiero una EU que alce la voz cuando uno de sus estados miembros, como España, viola los derechos fundamentales. Hay muchos ciudadanos europeos que sienten decepción al ver que solo priman los intereses económicos y no los derechos fundamentales"

#president @KRLS "No tinc xofers ni seguretat, però tinc gent que ajuda. És evident que l'Estat em considera "caça major", però no pots viure amb paranoia constant. Qui ha de viure amb por són els criminals, no nosaltres" #QuatreGatsTV3
#president @KRLS "Matí i nit intento parlar amb la dona i les nenes i fer els deures amb elles. Curiosament quan era a Catalunya no podia fer-ho. El dia a dia és a dins de la Casa, si no no surto" #QuatreGatsTV3
#president @KRLS "El Consell és un espai fora l'abast de la repressió espanyola. Això no ho paga fons públics, ni clavegueres de l'Estat ni fons reservat. Es fa igual que l'1oct. Jo ara no tinc sou. Intento gastar el mínim " #QuatreGatsTV3

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full

President and Mrs. Trump are dining at the Trump Hotel DC right now.
It’s a 7:41 drive from the White House to the Trump Hotel DC (with a motorcade; slower for you).
