politics @lemmy.world•Cohen introduces impeachment articles against President Trump
37·5 hours agoCohen, a Memphis Democrat who is retiring from his 9th District House seat, cited what he said were multiple abuses of power, violations of his oath of office, the corrupt use of the pardon power and emoluments clause violations by the president.
He acknowledged the impeachment bid would likely fall short, but said he was sending a message about standing up to the president.
“I know they won’t go anywhere, but I’m not going to stop standing up for my constituents and for democracy,” Cohen said in an interview with Nexstar.
Cohen also introduced articles of impeachment against Trump in 2017.

1·2 days agoLots of AA groups become like this, though not commonly to this degree. They are lay administered groups, and must be self regulatory for them to work, but the program itself relies on a lot of self policing, and discernment on the part of those seeking help, which is often asking a lot from the folks walking in the door.

World News@lemmy.ml•Putin Moves to Escalate War in Ukraine With Talks at Dead End
24·29 days agoA RAND report discussing hypothetical ways to pressure Russia is not evidence that the U.S. secretly planned and initiated Russia’s invasion. An opinion article by one strategist in 2021 is not a declaration of NATO policy. Chomsky, Kennan, Matlock, and a 1997 open letter can all argue that NATO expansion was strategically unwise without establishing that Ukraine forfeited its sovereignty or that Putin was compelled to invade.
You’re also confusing “this policy might provoke a reaction” with “the reaction was caused by the policy and is therefore justified.” Those are not the same sentence, no matter how much links you attach to them.








The headline here omits the quotations around ‘antisemitic’ which is quite deliberate.
