Of course advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this.

The Secretary is unfit to lead.

So are we still more upset about Diverse, but qualified, yet presumed unqualified hires, than DUI hires?

Pete Hegseth needs to go for the safety of the United States & the allies that we still have.

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

To all those who say Trump has “single-handedly” wrecked the economy: He didn’t do it single-handedly. Congress could’ve stopped him anytime. The Republican-led Congress allowed him to wreck the economy.

Pope Francis lifted the world as he led the Church with his profound moral voice. As he returns to God, may his call to humility and concern for the least among us continue to resound.

We live in a time that people are more inclined to obey an unlawful executive order than they are to follow a court order 🤦🏾‍♀️.

Dictators are created due to cruelty, cowardice, & compliance! IF THEIR ASSES will ignore the Supreme Court, we can definitely IGNORE HIM!

Serious question. Kristi Noem was pictured with a Rolex in El Salvador, and got 3k in cash stolen.

She has been on a govt salary for years.

no one talks about how soul-affirming it is to get a “had so much fun with you” text after hanging out. not a meme. not a tiktok. not a link. just a plain little sentence saying “i like you. i like your company.” we live for that.

like when someone sends “still smiling from earlier” hours after the hang. or when they walk you to your car even though it’s 30 feet away. that’s the kind of stuff that ruins me.

There’s a term in psychology called habituation: the way we stop noticing things we see often. A painting on the wall. A familiar view. Even a person’s kindness.

The brain filters the predictable to save energy. But in doing so, it risks filtering out what makes life feel full.

Not everything that becomes familiar should be forgotten.

Sometimes, attention is an act of love.

Hurrah for Ukraine!

BREAKING

President Zelensky rejects the Trump regime's ultimatum regarding the ceding of Crimea to the Russian Federation.

"There is nothing to discuss—this lies outside our Constitution. This is our territory, the land of the Ukrainian people. This will NOT happen."

Ukraine has been resisting the “second strongest army in the world” for 1,154 days.

3 years, 1 month, 30 days.

We are still here.

DO OR DO NOT. THERE IS NO TRY.

Best advice since the (possibly apocryphal) Churchillian comment - "When you're going through hell, the best thing to do is keep going." In respect of "nice, easy, comfortable, safe, WRONG choices." are we discussing the current President who seems to be digging it deeper every day and, if so, who represents in effective, electable improvement?

I don't think the current guy is "digging deeper." I think he's in a "political sand trap" right now. My bet would be that if the BIF and the BBB bills get through and get signed, that people will forget all the "sausage making" as Good Things start to show up. As to the pandemic, if we keep pushing the mandates and getting to 90+% everywhere but the wingnuts, sanity may return for the majority of us, and the wingnuts will be seen as the authors of their own pandemic. Right now the best advice …

All of your bets look good but I'd be nervous about putting money on the likelihood of the two bills getting signed. .500 is a decent batting average in politics and I'm guessing he'll have to be content with the BIF because Congress will pretty soon start using the coming election as an excuse to stop doing business. If I had a choice, I'd take the Lewis Voting Rights bill over BBB because there's a fair amount in BBB that is at best wants rather than needs and not worth losing control of eith…

I'll still keep my money on both. Never. Vote. Against. Pelosi.
