Anyone reporting Mexico conceded anything to Trump to get him to delay tariffs has not done their homework.
Trump boasts he got Sheinbaum to commit to stationing 10K troops at our border. Apparently he didn't realize Mexico already has 15K troops deployed there

Elon Musk is a terrible president.

[James Martin, SJ @JamesMartinSJ]

In its simplest terms, the apparent demise of #USAID is the result of the world's richest man ending a program that helps millions of poor people. You don't need a Ph.D. in moral theology to see why this is an evil. You can just read Jesus's parables on the rich and the poor.

Just cannot be said enough that the 2016 campaign was centered around treating Hillary's use of a private email server as the crime of the century but a bunch of 20somethings w/o security clearances now have access to the system that spits out $5 trillion in money & it's crickets

@gisdonewirh2020 @notcapnamerica Except youngest gen especially young men are signing up for this bullshit. Will we have to have another Vietnam before they see how wrongheaded that is?

When you worship power, a sermon on the love and mercy of Jesus sounds like “spewing hate.”

@TristanSnell We’re fucked?

Love. Kamala Harris is already back in LA, serving food to families impacted by the wildfires & thanking all the brave and heroic firefighters.

This is what true leadership & service look like. Kamala Harris isn’t going anywhere.

New tonight: Trump already faces a lawsuit challenging his executive order seeking to end automatic birthright citizenship -- case filed hours after the order was signed in federal court in New Hampshire by ACLU and other civil rights orgs. Story tk, complaint in the meantime: https://t.co/r5VG4eDoiz

When you have a CONVICTED FELON living in the White House, expect him to pardon other convicted felons.

Just saying.

@KwikWarren @proftinkerbell Do people not realize that in spite of the performative support for Harris, fewer people turned out for her than in 2020? If the turnout had been higher….
But no. Some people like performances but don’t show up. (Not just WP either — some Black men were MIA, too.)

[Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth]

Every day, our servicemembers live by the Soldier’s Creed—the words displayed behind me.

How can we ask our troops to train to the highest standard if we confirm a guy who wants us to lower the standard to make him Secretary of Defense?

Pete Hegseth must step aside.

Biden says farewell: "After 50 years of public service, I give you my word: I still believe in the idea for which this nation stands..now it's your turn to stand guard. May you be the keeper of the flame. May you keep the faith. I love America. You love it too. God bless you all"

Firefighters from Mexico, Canada, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, Utah, Colorado, Idaho, and New Mexico are here. Our local, regional, and state partners have all stepped up to help.

It’s all hands on deck to fight these fires.

This is unity and partnership in action.

The U.S. economy added 2.23 million jobs in 2024, including 256,000 in the final full month of Biden's presidency.

There have been more jobs gained under Biden's term than under the full terms of former Presidents Trump, Obama, or George W. Bush.

Biden is now at +16.1 million. https://t.co/qlqSKz5gC5

@mwolfers @reesetheone1 They did. But this illustration casts the divide as white people —as if the Ds are all white people.
True enough of Bernie supporters. But HRC represents a multicultural group —as does Harris. And any article or graphic that ignores that misses the whole point of what divides us.
