The US Executive Branch is attacking members of the US Legislative Branch with chemical weapons. At some point, there is a threshold that when crossed makes this a civil war within the US government. Right?

"After being pepper sprayed by ICE agents outside a NJ detention facility on Monday, @SenatorAndyKim said the agents absolutely knew they were firing on a U.S. senator. Totally outrageous."

“I welcome #Syria’s cooperation and support for this deployment. The Syrian authorities now need to declare and destroy what has been found, under the Secretariat’s verification and to continue supporting the Secretariat in unveiling the full scope of the chemical weapons programme they have inherited.” - @opcw DG Fernando Arias

☠️Biggest find by OPCW since fall of the Assad regime: "dozens of undeclared chemical munitions such as aerial bombs and rockets as well as separately found chemicals and related equipment" at undeclared locations in northern coastal and central regions.
