We are fueling the war machine of a genocidal state.
Congress needs to step in and stop this now.

There is a sickness in this administration. Discounting Americans killed in war—to advance Trump’s fabricated narrative about the conflict—is vile and loathsome.
The Pentagon removed the names of 4 servicemembers who died in Jordan from their official list of casualties. They explain that this is because "their deaths occurred after President Trump declared a cease-fire in the war in April."

I’m currently witnessing dozens of huge explosions in Kyiv city centre. A hotel near my apartment is on fire. Residential buildings damaged. This is not war against soldiers, it’s Russia terrorising civilians in their homes. A sad and pathetic nation.

We spent tens of billions bombing Iran.
Now American taxpayers are handing them $300 billion to rebuild.
For context, fixing every bridge in America would cost about the same amount.
Trump is more accommodating of America's adversaries than of the American people.

Sheriff Javier Salazar in San Antonio: "I really wish more effort had been put out in New York…We're gonna take care of our Spurs, any opposing team, and any Knicks fans…Last week we had mounted patrol, drone unit, K-9, on foot, ATVs…You'll see that & then some…absolutely more deputies…
"Knicks & their families were very appreciative of our effort…providing an escort to & from hotel…What we saw with our Spurs [in New York], bus getting surrounded & rocked, bad situation waiting to happen…So we're going to be escorting the Knicks"

Shame, what a shame… what an apotheosis of unimaginable vulgarity and arrogance, and a complete antithesis of the dignity that the office demands.
WOW -- Trump crashes out and cuts his interview with Welker short as she presses him on his lack of evidence for claiming elections are rigged
"You're either crooked or you're stupid. Let's call it quits. Because I've had enough. Thank you darling," he tells her."
"I traveled all the way to Wisconsin for this interview," she pleads.

If I'm following the metaphor correctly, then it's interesting that Senator Cornyn wanted to name an interstate highway after the scorpion...
An old, but apt fable:
A scorpion wants to cross a river but cannot swim, so it asks a frog to carry it across. The frog hesitates, afraid that the scorpion might sting it, but the scorpion promises not to, pointing out that it would drown if it killed the frog in the middle of the river. The frog considers this argument sensible and agrees to transport the scorpion. Midway across the river, the scorpion stings the frog anyway, dooming them both. The dying frog asks the scorpion why it stung despite knowing the consequence, to which the scorpion replies: "I am sorry, but I couldn't help myself. It's my character." @Wikipedia

He left out the part of the fable where the Frog posted embarrassing pictures about how much he loves the scorpion’s book, and he left out the part where the frog promised to kill the filibuster so that he could suck up to the scorpion.

What’s funny about all this gerrymandering talk is that we’re fighting over which party controls a legislative branch that doesn’t actually legislate anymore.

It shouldn't matter where a kid attended school before they apply for school choice.
But just in case you care, the MAJORITY of school choice awards sent today are going to kids who were not previously attending private schools.

Over 14 months into the worst presidency in history, with a ruined economy, a new Gulf war, a president bragging about committing war crimes, an America that is becoming isolated on the world stage, and all these people have is "But Biden!"
Pathetic.

Really hard to blame TSA agents for bailing. They have to feed their families.
So when you get to the front of the security lines, don't take your frustrations out on THEM, even if they're grumpy.
The folks who are still on the job deserve our profound thanks. And paychecks!

After we elect a Democratic Socialist president in a landslide in 2028, pundits will blame Trump for single-handedly destroying the Republican Party. But the real blame will fall on the ass-kissing Republicans in the Trump Administration, Congress, and the media who enabled him.

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic.
The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.
The Justice Department is investigating Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey over alleged obstruction of law enforcement, a source told CNN. cnn.it/3LR4xFU

Abolish ICE.
What we’ve seen recently isn’t immigration enforcement; it’s state-sponsored terrorism.
They refuse to comply with the Constitution.
They assault Americans with impunity.
They hide behind masks, knowing their actions are shameful.
They should not exist.
Immigration enforcement can be done lawfully and accountably—upholding the rights of the people—but the administration has no interest in that.
They’re using the context of immigration as a pretext to sidestep constitutional limits—warrants, due process, and transparency—that protect us all from government abuses.
We need immigration enforcement that respects the Constitution, not an agency that evades it.
