This is Marcus. Served in Afghanistan. Three deployments. Night terrors every single night for eight years. Wakes up drenched in sweat. Sometimes screaming. His VA counselor recommended a trained service dog. Wait list was four years. Cost was $25,000. Marcus couldn’t wait that long. He adopted Rocky from a rescue last October. Four-year-old German Shepherd. Rejected from police training for being “too gentle with people.” First night Rocky came home, Marcus had a nightmare around 2 AM.
Rocky jumped on the bed without any training. Laid his entire body across Marcus’s chest. 92 pounds of pressure. Marcus woke up. Didn’t scream this time.
Just cried quietly. Rocky stayed right there until Marcus fell back asleep. Now Rocky does this automatically every single night. Marcus showed the night vision footage to his counselor. She said:
“That’s exactly the deep pressure therapy we teach service dogs. Rocky’s doing it instinctively. That’s a $25,000 behavior he was born knowing.” Rocky failed police training. But he’s saving Marcus’s life every night. Sometimes the ones who don’t make the cut are exactly who we need.
.@Timodc on Trump storming out of his interview with Kristen Welker:
"It's unbelievable, honestly, that the American people could put this fucking ass clown in the White House."
"I'm only doing this for one term. I am not a politician. I did not ever want to be a politician. I'm doing this because we need to do something now. We can't survive 32 more months of what we've seen for the past 16, full stop."
On Memorial Day, we pay tribute to the brave men and women in uniform who gave their lives for this country that we love. It is a debt we can never fully repay, but we must never stop trying. I’ll always be grateful to our fallen heroes and their families, whose sacrifice reminds us of what it means to live for something greater than ourselves.
And just like that, it’s completely VANISHED from the media.
A sitting congressman, Ted Lieu, said on the record the Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children.

Former Navy pilot Ken Harbaugh says there's a growing danger at the Pentagon.
Harbaugh fears there are few people remaining who can walk into Pete Hegseth's office and say: "This is a really bad idea"

🚨 #BREAKINGNEWS Its appears Speaker Mike Johnson caught on hot mic that The Save Act would result in 12% to 18% voter turnout. Saying that would be huge for the Republican Party. The Save Act is a voter suppression bill. Not elections security.🚨
