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.

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

Remember when the economy was booming, stocks were soaring, we weren’t in a trade war with China, we didn’t have a day drunk for a Sec Def, a couch fucking Cabbage Patch doll for a VP, or an evil, incurious idiot for a president and we still funded cancer research?
Yeah, that was like three months ago.

9-1-1 tapes reveal how events unfolded in the Mill Valley murder. Does recycling in Marysville make a difference? And details about the County's bond rating are encouraging
If we’re serious about more efficient government and better everyday life in America - which we all should be - that means actually improving government, not cutting health care for poor people and slashing support for veterans.

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.

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.
I refuse to be the kind of person who loses their mind over a delayed train or lets a spilled coffee set the tone for the whole day.
I want to be the one who stays composed, who sees the good even when things don’t go as planned. The kind of person who breathes through the little chaos and still finds beauty in how the day unfolds.
I want to be soft. I want to be steady.

"Italians really like each other, and they show it. Friends hug and kiss both cheeks, no matter their 'gender identity.' They reach out and touch each other.

I barely recognize my country. Every day there is news of erasing important parts of our history, terrorizing people who are in our country legally and saying we can take over Greenland because we need it. How are we different from Hungary, Russia, or North Korea? And who will save us? Republicans? Judges?
