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.
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’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

“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.

Lenin put it well in 1917: "Sometimes decades happen in weeks."
What we are experiencing since last Sunday morning has never happened before in American political history. If the word "revolutionary" is defined as "Being or bringing about a big or important change," we are in a revolutionary situation.
I worked in the Obama campaign beginning in 2007, and what I experienced then - which felt like nothing before - is not close to what is going on now.
AOC warned the week before Biden withdrew that …
TC, Kamala needs Bernie's endorsement. Since Kamala has so much support, she should support us and go for single-payer and tax the rich. subsidized child care wouldn't hurt. Kamala used the word "tangible" in her first speech. Now let's hear some details. I thought "hope and change" meant more than the ACA. I don't want to be disappointed again. What do you think?
Single payer “Medicare for All” polls well until people are asked if they will make sacrifices like not being able to keep the doctor they have. Then support among “average voters” tumbles. While we are sprinting for the finish line during the next 99 days, let’s not trip over our shoelaces on something that cannot be done without a 60-vote majority in the Senate, making it a promise that can’t be fulfilled any time soon.
or do away with the filibuster. The Senate has built-in conservative bias.
Rather, it has a “small state” bias. The small states tend to be rural and dependent on manufacturing. That makes them the employment losers with automation and global trade. This was effectively ignored by both parties (focused on campaign donors) until Trump saw an opening and woke us all up.
Our politicians are still in the thrall of donations by the upper 20%.
Look at campaign finance vouchers to break this pattern. There was a weak and never pushed try in 2022’s HR1 For The People Act that failed.
To push it means breaking dems dependence on money from the big banks and finance firms. That will take true bravery. Does Harris have it?
