Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth. #ApostolicJourney#Cameroon https://t.co/bKteFZ3iWE
"A whole civilization will die tonight” are words no President of the United States had ever spoken until this morning. Donald Trump’s behavior is unhinged and making Americans less safe. After a 25-year career in the United States Navy, I have never met or served with anyone who so completely lacks the qualities of good leadership as Donald Trump does.
If the President takes the actions he has threatened to take, countless Iranian civilians will die, it will massively escalate this war, and the United States will be seen as a country without a moral or ethical compass. That will make Americans less safe right now and risk the lives of thousands of service members. The consequences will have a lasting and damaging effect on our nation.
Trump's mistakes have led us to this perilous moment, but the solution is not to escalate even further. This must stop.
👀 A new Senate HELP report breaks the data down clearly:
A total of $561 MILLION in NIH research cuts including:
- 116 cancer grants
- 65 Alzheimer’s
- 68 diabetes
- 71 heart disease
304 clinical trials disrupted of which 69 were pediatric trials
~800,000 patients affected
I won’t forget about the Americans getting priced out of health insurance because Republicans handed out tax breaks to the wealthy. Families deserve leaders who put the needs of working people over the millionaires and billionaires.
Jon Stewart on the ICE murder of Alex Pretti: “They’re lying. We saw it. That’s how brazen they lie when they know we’ve seen the truth. Imagine how they lie when there’s no evidence to contradict them. Maybe that explains why Alex Pretti really was a threat. Because he was brandishing a weapon. A handheld, aluminum, 1080p, 60fps weapon of mass illumination. Because there is nothing more dangerous to a regime predicated on lies than witnesses who capture the truth”
Guy: Shoots up a school killing 20 kids
Republicans: Guns are our God-given right
Guy: Videos ICE agents with legal gun in his possession, is killed
Republicans: He had a gun!
AOC: "How rich is it that she is saying showing up to the scene of a protest with a legally owned weapon should be grounds for a person's death, execution at the hands of the state, by the same party and administration that praises Kyle Rittenhouse."
This clip is exactly why the White House didn’t want Gavin Newsom anywhere near Davos.
Because he doesn’t do the “bow your head and smile” routine.
He says it out loud, on camera, in front of the world and makes Trump’s chaos look as unserious as it actually is.
Jon Stewart just hit it out of the park with the Trump’s administration’s blatant hypocrisy… makes you wonder why they want us so heated and fighting… 🤔
“When officers conceal their faces and perform their duties without name tapes or badge numbers, they sever an essential connection to the public. They turn authority into anonymity. And anonymous power is what democratic systems are designed to prevent.”

The ICE agent was not run over, viciously or otherwise.
"The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."
Orwellian. Full stop.
Five years later, the attack on the Capitol on January 6th, 2021, remains a stain on our nation's history. It was an assault on the very foundation of our democracy – the right for Americans to choose their leaders. It should be a lasting reminder that we cannot take America for granted. Now more than ever, it's important that all Americans stand together to protect and strengthen our democracy.
