TLO Update Feb 5th w. Harley Schlanger – The U.S. is a Republic, Not an Empire

The Senate Committee vote to approve the nomination of Tulsi Gabbard for Director of National Intelligence and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. to head the Department of Health and Human Services was a hard-fought step in the right direction. It will still be necessary to continue to mobilize to win the vote for their confirmation in the full Senate, to end the Obama-Biden legacy of the U.S. as an imperial power. As we wait for clarification of President Trump's comments on Gaza yesterday, we must guard against turning "America First" into a new imperial order.
