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
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.

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.

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?
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!

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.
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.

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.

Don't leave anything for later.
Later, the coffee gets cold.
Later, you lose interest.
Later, the day turns into night.
Later, people grow up.
Later, people grow old.
Later, life goes by.
Later, you regret not doing something... when you had the chance.

Trump, longing to intensify his contrived role of aggrieved martyr, will keep testing the judge and the limits of the gag order.
Will he risk jail time for contempt of court to enrage his supporters to commit violence? And give him more money? Something must give.
Yes, I really think Trump is doing this deliberately so he can go to jail. To instigate Trump voters.
The judges think that too. And they are trying to strike a balance between reining in a sociopath, and giving the sociopath the martyr status he craves.
So he wins either way?
of course he does... until he doesn't, the good lord willing and the creek don't rise.
aww, my mom used to use that saying all the time.

Mine, too, Jeri! And then the creek (Ohio River) did rise, reinforcing that bit of wisdom. Mom was 13 when she learned that you can’t deliver on promises if the creek decides otherwise!
The Ohio River flood of 1937 took place in late January and February 1937. With damage stretching from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to Cairo, Illinois, 385 people died, one million people were left homeless and property losses reached $500 million ($10.2 billion when adjusted for inflation as of September 2022).
Wow, what a story. My mom never had to face such a comeuppance. Had no idea such a thing happened in that area. Or anywhere in the USA. Wisdom can be complicated...

Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar left the senate chambers in DC at 3 a.m. on Saturday morning, caught a 6 a.m. flight to St. Paul, and spoke to the rally crowd of 25,000 at noon. That is the kind of dedication we need!
