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

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.
Thanks, Josh! I appreciate that. I can’t say I always remember to lead with “what” — the habit of using “why” is pretty deeply ingrained. But I’ve started catching myself. When I hear myself say “why,” I try to pause and ask if “what” is really the better choice for discovery.

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

So the Republican Party has historically blocked:
-Paid sick leave
-Paid family & medical leave
-Universal childcare
-Universal pre-K
-Expanded Child Tax Credit
-Programs to support reproductive health
And they're wondering why more people aren't having children?

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

I will never, ever, ever get tired of living 700 feet from this waterfall.
I think it takes me exactly three minutes to walk here from my front porch. How the hell did I get so lucky?

Wow. In just 24 hours, over 150 people have shared comments on the Reddit post, and 140+ of you have subscribed here. I’m completely in awe. I started writing Buried Threads to make sense of the secrets in my family. I never imagined it would resonate like this. Thank you—for reading, for sharing your stories, for being part of this.

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.
Still waiting for someone with a modicum of clout to bitch-slap Hillary and her campaign for LARPing at being Cold Warriors, beginning in July of 2016. Ms. Clinton, 1984 called and wants its political dialectic back.
Because that old harridan has not been mocked and humiliated nearly enough.
Sad when old pols resort to outdated tricks, ain't it? Poor HillBillary didn't have an original bone in her body or thought in her demented head.
Her DNC nomination acceptance speech was pure solipsism, in which she time-traveled back to her 9 year old mother being shipped cross-country alone, just to tell her, "No worries, kid. Someday, your daughter will be President of the United States!" This was cringe de la cringe, and I'm still at a loss for how to mock her adequately enough for that. We ovary-Americans were supposed to vote for her based on that alone, sharing her time-travel ego trip. Blarrrrf!
For unemotional details of the illegality of the Clinton Foundation please go to substacker Charles Ortel who studied their public filings (or lack thereof), registrations, allied people and organizations, etc for years. Everyone needs to know of his work. He reported weekly through Crowd Source the Truth - Jason Goodman in a program called Sunday with Charles. Incredibly detailed work by a retired businessman and banker.
Charles Ortel is amazing. I followed him on Jason's site for about a year. If you want to know how the Clintons stole billions from the Haitians, Charles is the man to lay it out for you. Can't recommend his work highly enough.
He collects some amazing characters. The latest is 'John Cullen' (a pseudonym) whose research into the las vegas shootings and more recently the Trump assassination attempts are beyond exhaustive. This guy doesn't give up, long after everyone has lost interest. As my handy man put it
'sometimes having Aspergers is useful'.
