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 don't know if JD Vance killed the Pope, but I think we should deport him to El Salvador just in case.
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

Intuit donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration. He's now planning to end the free IRS Direct File program.
Apple donated $1M. Trump exempted most of Apple’s imports from tariffs.
Coinbase donated $1M. Trump’s SEC dropped a major lawsuit against them.
See how this works?

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.

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.

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.
Thank you, Joe. History will remember.
But will non-MAGA Republicans and undecided voters get it now and vote accordingly?
Unfortunately, the people who most need to hear this message are not hearing it! Instead, they are hearing lies from the mainstream (corporate) press!☹️
So Kamala and Tim need to get the message out there that she was part of these great policies that benefit ordinary Americans and will continue them!
No because his argument, tho correct, is not clear enough to mobilize voters. He brings erudition to a knife feat. Plus the media and the legal system seem incapable of pushing back against evil but powerful forces.

Alas, too many in America’s oligarchy do not want a powerful federal system that facilitates equitable economic growth and distribution. They want concentrated economic and political power that is rigged to favor them.
The Republican coalition is reactionary. It is a big tent that promises those that join that they will be taken care of and the “others” will be stripped of power, economically disadvantaged, shunned and (at the extremes) rounded up and deported.
Why did Biden have to give this spe…
The general population lacks general literacy in basic economics and civics and this gap gets filled with paranoia, fake news, and the inability to think critically on one's own. Self-evident truths no longer seem self-evident and unfortunately what gets preached from so many alters is scarry stuff. People are not taught to search for and evaluate evidence which makes a lot of room in people's minds for conspiracy theories and fantasies. It is great feeding ground for the grifters.

Somebody should tell Marco Rubio, Border Czar Tom Homan, AG Pam Bondi and other Trump officials that Trump's pardon does NOT apply to international crimes against humanity. They will still be prosecuted at the Hague just as Hitler's top officials were prosecuted in the Nuremberg trials.
Donald Trump and his regime are arguing that they have too many people to deport to follow due process and the rule of law. This is illegal. This is unconstitutional. This is fascism.

The League of Women Voters has declared that the United States is in a constitutional crisis. If you know anything about LWV, you know this isn’t a group that makes dramatic proclamations. They’re nonpartisan, measured, and focused on protecting democracy through voter education and participation. For them to use language this strong—it should wake us all up.
