Imagine Trump ever being invited to join a photo like this — not in a million years.

Four presidents. Zero drama. Just smiles, respect, and a shared love of country. 🇺🇸

BREAKING: In a shocking maneuver, Senate Republicans just BLOCKED a Democratic effort to BAN federal troops from entering polling stations or seizing ballots or voting machines. Makes you wonder what they’re planning this November…

Jeffrey Miller, the 20 year old killed by his own government in this unforgettable photo, was from my hometown and years later his mother came to our school to share the personal toll and historic significance of what happened that day. It has always stayed with me.

Western Pennsylvania here! Photographer John Filo was from the local newspaper I would eventually work at--a member of the student newspaper he drove two hours to the office of his hometown newspaper in western Pennsylvania to process his film. initially he was told AP had plenty of Kent State photos coming in from its bureau in Akron an unexpected break in the transmissions happened & John jumped on the wire and sent his photo. His image of the grieving girl ran on the front pages of newspapers all over the world the next day. The caption identified her simply as a “coed.”

Why do you spread such dishonest bullshit @joerogan? Hillary publicly conceded & congratulated Trump the morning after Election Day. She then didn’t say a word about the 2016 election for 3yrs. And Trump didn’t just “question” the election. He refused to accept the result. He lied about it. And still does. And then he committed crimes trying to overthrow the election. He’s the only president in American history to do ANY of that. And he’s trying to fuck with the elections this year. And he again won’t accept the election results this year. So yeah Rogan, you attack our elections process like that, you ARE a threat to democracy.

Donald Trump thought he could score cheap political points by calling Bill LeRoy an “insult to Jesus” because the veteran catcher and captain of the Savannah Bananas is “beyond woke” and believes that God does not discriminate on the basis of gender.
Standing in front of a roaring, sold-out Banana Ball crowd, LeRoy didn’t just clap back — he delivered a powerful, no-nonsense response that shook the stadium.
“The president of the United States just said that I insulted Jesus,” LeRoy began, gripping the mic with calm intensity. “You want to know what’s a real insult to Jesus? Turning your back on people who need help while giving more to those who already have everything.”
“You know what insults Jesus?” he continued, gesturing toward the crowd. “Separating families, shutting doors on those in need, and forgetting what ‘love thy neighbor’ actually means. That’s not the message I stand for — and it’s not the message this team stands for.”
“You know what insults Jesus? Preaching values while ignoring compassion. Talking about faith while practicing division. That’s not faith — that’s politics dressed up as religion.”
“I’m not a perfect Christian,” he said, a small smile crossing his face. “There’s only been one perfect man, and I’m not him. I’m just a catcher who believes in treating people right.”
“Jesus told us to love our neighbors as ourselves… So why do we keep choosing hate, division, and fear instead?”

This is a massive and unconstitutional voter suppression effort aimed at giving Trump the power to create a list of who is allowed to vote by mail.

We know where this will go -- the targeting of Democrats for mass disenfranchisement.

We will sue and we will win.

Republicans control all 3 branches of government.

Democrats introduced 7 bills to fund TSA.

Each one was blocked by Republicans.

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

Here is what’s really going on with regard to the funding stalemate in Congress.

ICE agents shot and killed two U.S. citizens on the streets of Minneapolis.

Democrats then said: before we write you another check, agree to the same rules every police department in America already follows. Judicial warrants before entering homes. Visible ID. Body cameras. No raids at schools and hospitals.

We immediately pushed for votes to fund TSA, the Coast Guard, and FEMA.

Republicans blocked it.

We tried to fund FEMA alone.

Republicans blocked that too. Their position was to fund ICE with no strings attached, or shut the whole thing down.

So DHS shut down.

Then yesterday, the White House sent a letter admitting we were right. But they still won’t agree to judicial warrants or to take the masks off, which means agents can still break down your door without a judge’s approval and you still can’t see their faces when they do it.

We’ve been ready to fund your airport security since day one, not to mention Coast Guard, FEMA and the rest. Republicans chose to protect ICE from accountability instead.

NEW: Days after Pete Hegseth said the U.S. war in Iran is protected by God, Pope Leo XIV denounced those who “involve the name of God in choices of death.”

Clinton had us debt-free by 2010. Bush blew it. Obama fixed it. Trump crashed it. Biden fixed it. Trump crashed it again — 92,000 jobs gone last month. Want a good economy? Elect Democrats.
