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

Mexico has officially banned the Trump propaganda from airing on Mexican TV and social media. No racist ads, and no lies disguised as messages to the world.

A President saying he won an election he lost is not a “distraction.” It’s a lie, it’s an attack on democracy, and it must be loudly condemned.

A President saying he can ignore the Constitution and run for a 3rd term is not a “distraction.” It’s a lie, it’s an attack on democracy, and it must be loudly condemned.

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!

Bill Owens is a journalist, who has worked at “60 Minutes,” the finest and most venerable journalistic program in the United States, for 24 years, and for the last six as its executive producer.

He has been forced out of “60 Minutes” by the insatiable greed of Shari Redstone, who has demanded that Bill Owens bend the knee to Donald Trump.

Bill Owens did not bend the knee.

Bill Owens took a stand.

Thank you, Bill Owens.

Pam Bondi said on Fox that the FBI’s arrest of a county judge is “sending a very strong message.” Yes, Pam, and that message is, this country is being ruled by fascist traitors.

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?

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.

Emotion regulation is not about controlling what you feel. It's about choosing how you respond.

Wise people don't suppress emotion. They find constructive ways to express it.

Intense feelings don't always demand immediate reactions. They often benefit from deep reflection.

Paramount, the owner of CBS, has been accused of meddling in reporting being done by 60 Minutes.

Why?

It needs approval from Trump's FCC to be acquired by Skydance — a media company founded by the son of billionaire Trump-backer Larry Ellison.

The government is no longer just banning books (for adults in the Naval Academy), but they are now banning criticism of their actions. This is a very dangerous slip into authoritarian actions. The right to political speech is among the MOST protected forms of expression in the US, and to disallow it will not lead us anywhere worth going.

To everyone shouting “no one is above the law” referring to that Milwaukee judge: We have a criminal in the White House. A guy who’s proven to be utterly lawless. And you’re perfectly fine with that. So take your “no one is above the law” bullshit and shove it up your ass.

“I want a baby boom,” Trump said.

But his FDA suspended one of its quality-control programs for milk.

He's trying to repeal limits on lead exposure and cancel grants that protect kids from chemicals.

And prices for car seats and strollers are up due to his tariffs.

This is the beginning of a massive fall of MAGA.

No amount of division, fear mongering, lies, and cheap lines will overcome the fact that you just took many people’s prosperity just because it makes you feel powerful.

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.

America has never been subject to this level of authoritarianism, and quite frankly, sheer incompetence.

Out of the ashes, this moment should radicalize us to embark on an era of new reform — of our economy, our democracy, and our commitment to social justice and the law.

I was in kindergarten at Kempton Elementary in Spring Valley, CA, about 20 minutes east of downtown San Diego. My only memory of that day was that I was sitting at a table, there was a sheet of paper in front of me, probably some worksheet, on which in the upper right corner was written “11-22-63” and I remember thinking, “I need to remember this date.” That’s my only memory. I don’t remember why I thought I needed to remember that date. I don’t remember the TV, or my parents’ reaction, or anyt…

Nor are any of us, consciously or not. It has been a chain of events with hate as the driver, in so many ways
